    Discouraged with TRT

    Why swallow the garlic cloves whole?

    Does HCG suppress to the same extent as exogenous testosterone? I want to take HCG for fertility reasons, but when I come off, will have low T levels?

    If I'm not mistaken, most of the testicular volume is from the sertoli cells, so it would make sense that HMG would increase testicular size more than hCG.

    Who does not need to use an ED med?

    What are your testosterone blood levels on 250mg TU per week? Are you still using hCG? If so, how much?

    Who does not need to use an ED med?

    Please let us know how that experiment goes. Your side effects from Prop don't really surprise me. What does surprise me is all of the guys who are convinced that prop gives them less bloat than other esters.

    What's your test prop dose and injection frequency?

    Who does not need to use an ED med?

    Does anyone here not need to take cialis or another ed med while on TRT? The main reason I quit TRT is because I had far more episodes of ED than I had before I started and I could not tolerate the side effects of any ed med.

    T Propionate protocol

    You would be just as suppressed from Prop as any other ester. Your sky high E2 is confirmation of that. Why not try 7.5mg Test prop in the morning and some trans scrotal cream at night if you want more DHT? You will need to experiment with the cream to get the right dose to give you a good blood...

    How are my blood results? Thinking of doing HCG monotherapy.

    That's the standard hCG monotherapy dose, but in my experience it is too high. I'd start with 250iu 3 x week. Do you have the Pregnyl 1500iu amps?

    How are my blood results? Thinking of doing HCG monotherapy.

    Exactly my experience. I'm now in my late 40s but most people guess my age as early 30s tops, even with the accutane induced dry skin! I had no idea my testosterone was so low for so many years until I had it measured at the age of 31. Total testosterone came back at just 5.5 nmol/L!

    How are my blood results? Thinking of doing HCG monotherapy.

    I took Accutane too. That's what I believe caused damage to my hypothalamus resulting in low LH. HCG is the only thing that has been able to give me some libido. How did your joints and tendons react to Accutane? Did you have ongoing musculoskeletal side effects? Do you look a lot younger in...

    Zero libido

    I'm surprised your TT is only 23 nmol/L on 140mg/week. Mine was higher than that on half your dose!

    Which antibiotic were you prescribed?

    Men: What has been your experience with progesterone?

    If a man who is not on TRT takes 5mg transdermal progesterone per day, will it suppress endogenous testosterone?

    Question about hcg monotherapy!

    A much lower dose of hCG such as 250iu 3 x week may give you the libido boost you're after with minimal LH suppression. Some guys even feel good on as little as 150-200iu 3 x week. 500iu eod will generate too much estradiol and likely completely suppress your LH and cause unwanted E2 side effects.

    Daily Low Dose T cyp/prop results

    I'm surprised you're able to achieve such a high T level on just 49mg/week. Nelson posted a study some time ago which found the group of men on 50mg/week experienced a reduction in their T level from baseline.

    HCG recommendations? Pregnyl vs Fresenius Kabi USA LLC generic

    Which generic brand? Or does it not matter? Reliablerx have been out of stock on most brands of hCG for some time.

    Multiple hCG administrations on serum and urinary steroids

    I thought that hCG was easily detectable in the standard urine samples collected by WADA? Perhaps a low enough dose, like 250iu eod is below the threshold required to register a positive sample in urine?

    Thymosin Alpha 1. Any experience here?

    I wonder if TA1 could boost the immune system enough, in an otherwise healthy individual, to defeat the type of bacterial infections fluoroquinolone antibiotics are normally used to treat?

    Options for retaining testicular function while on trt

    How long do you normally have to wait for your hCG to be delivered? Some people believe that hCG can lose potency if left out of refrigeration for too long, even before reconstitution in bac water. Is this true or false?

    Freezing HCG

    Does that apply to both recombinant hCG, like Ovitrelle or compounded hCG, as well as urine derived hCG?

    Freezing HCG

    Are you sure this is true? I've read many posts on other forums from guys who have frozen their reconstituted hCG and reported no subjective loss in potency. What do other members here think about freezing reconstituted hCG?

    Anyone here taking progesterone?

    Can anyone confirm whether or not a low dose of progesterone will suppress testosterone in a man who is not on TRT?

    T.Cyp 100 mg/week - Night sweats, anxiety

    Interesting that your night sweats went away when you were taking enclomiphene. One of the main reasons I quit enclomiphene was because of the severe night sweats it was causing!

    Pregnyl success

    Some people say that Pregnyl can lose potency if left out of refrigeration for too long, even before reconstitution in bac water. Is this false?

    Pregnyl success

    How long does it take for reliablerx to deliver after you place your order and do they ask you to send them a doctor's prescription?

    Pregnyl success

    Which country are you in? I thought Pregnyl was unavailable all over the world.

    Anyone here taking progesterone?

    You mentioned that pregnenolone significantly reduced your joint pain. Why do you think that is? Is it having an anti-inflammatory effect, or is it having a healing effect? Is it the conversion to cortisol or progesterone that's responsible for the reduction in joint pain? I remember when I was...

    Very high free test at 9mg test per day

    How do you feel later in the afternoon and at night before your next shot? Do you have any symptoms of low testosterone then? Overall, how do you feel now compared with how you felt before your TRT protocol in terms of libido, erection quality and energy?

    So who is happy with TRT? Who wish they never started?

    Your dose is way too high. That's why you're not feeling good. Try reducing your test cyp dose down to about 35mg twice a week or 25mg 3 x week and drop the anastrazole completely. See how you feel on that dose for a few months, then maybe introduce hCG twice a week starting at about 250iu per...

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.
