    Beginner , TRT with Anastrozole and Enclomiphene

    My advice: figure out what symptoms you are trying to correct and look long and hard issues other than hypogonadism that might be causing them. Then, look at all the lifestyle changes you might be able to make to improve your natural production. If you go down this road, consider the least...

    Trans scrotal testosterone cream application is a game changer

    Estradiol was 46 on the above regimen. A lot of guys feel fine with levels a lot higher than this. I believe I feel bad at this level. I suspect that if I had the same amount of testosterone with lower DHT and E2, I would not have felt as bad as I did. I also suspect scrotal application may be...

    I'm suicidal. Why do I have to go through this?

    I would drive yourself to an inpatient facility right now. Do not delay. You need help.

    Trans scrotal testosterone cream application is a game changer

    Hey, man. You may have missed it, but somewhere above, I have some questions about your early cream experience. You said you struggled early on. In what way? Was your struggle lack of efficacy (ie, low T symptoms brought forward), or did you struggle due to side effects (ie, new symptoms from...

    Trans scrotal testosterone cream application is a game changer

    I was using 20% strength. 50mg scrotal/50mg shoulder in the AM, then 50mg shoulder in the PM. Trust me, brother - I want it to work! No question you are correct on letting the esters clear. I'd consider trying it one more time down the road. That said, I alluded above to a certain kind of bad...

    Trans scrotal testosterone cream application is a game changer

    I (kind of) agree that three days is insignificant. But, I think waiting six weeks for labs is more applicable to esterified forms of testosterone with long half lives. Cream has a quick onset and short half life. That said, three days is by no means 5-6 half lives it might take to reach a...

    Trans scrotal testosterone cream application is a game changer

    So, I have never pulled labs while on cream. Finally I went ahead and got some labs. Was on cream for about three days and felt absolutely horrendous the whole time. Thought it would be useful to see what my labs look like while feeling like this. Long story short, free testosterone was a touch...

    PATIENT SATISFACTION WITH ORAL TESTOSTERONE UNDECANOATE IN TESTOSTERONE-DEFICIENT MEN WITH PREVIOUS TESTOSTERONE THERAPY

    I also happen to be on Accutane at the moment. I suspect on Accutane probably has some negative G.I. impact. I would like to give Jatenzo another try once I’m off Accutane in about three weeks. If so, I will report back.

    More focus when off TRT

    TRT can be a conundrum. Sometimes, I personally take an inventory of what I am trying to solve; I then rank the issues in order of importance and weigh this against the downsides of TRT. What are you trying to solve? If you feel better off, maybe stay off?

    I sort of have done this with confusing results. If interested, I can provide more details at some point.

    Inj Frequency

    I love the idea of sipping at the drinking fountain instead of taking massive gulps. In other words, small daily injections would seem like they would work best for me. But, for some crazy reason, I get nasty headaches. On the other hand, if I use 50 mg of Xyosted, I barely experience any head...

    Trans scrotal testosterone cream application is a game changer

    Hey, man, do you mind sharing in what way the early weeks were rough? I’ve had some ups and downs with cream. I’m curious if my struggles are similar to yours.

    Trans scrotal testosterone cream application is a game changer

    @Charliebizz, I suspect you are not having any issues with scrotal application, but I think I recall some saying cream is better than hydrogel for the scrotum because of alcohol. Am I making this up? Does anyone know if hydrogel is "safe" for the scrotum?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
