    New to TRT. Received first labs. Concerned and need help.

    SHBG? You're over range FT at 3.5days in a trough would indicate that you have low SHBG. I like to think for a low SHBG guy, if you have testing please tell us a number, can tend to be less tolerant to Estrogen which just means that 23.1 could be too high, for you. % and ratios don't matter...

    Help with free test levels

    26.4 is not low SHBG. Sounds like you have one of those Dr's that reads lab ranges and stays there. FT should be the treatable number vs. TT. Tell your Dr that you FELT better as XX dose and see what she says. Consider finding another Dr.

    Help with free test levels

    What's the lab range on your free T testing? If you have low SHBG your Free T should be relatively high. Trough is right before your injection, that's your blood draw timing, right?

    Help identifying this arm injury??

    Sounds more like tennis elbow to me which if that's the case it's a very long healing time, I've had it multiple times and even once bi lateral simultaneously. Healing time has been the better part of 10-12 months. There was really no strap/bandage, heat/ice therapy that did anything that mask...

    Low Ferritin Level and High HCT

    It may be just a me thing but when I went to cream it was multiple times per day. Really changed everything, for me. HCT is fairly stable, donate 1 whole pint 12-14 months. I recommend you go back and try again as it sounds your cream strategy was just wrong.

    Follow up on lab panel

    If you're good then leave it alone. Its just numbers on a piece of paper.

    Follow up on lab panel

    Could it help...maybe. Though you don't make mention of what's wrong aside from numbers on a lab test; high estrogen symptoms?

    Stack for an 18/YO Male

    BPC157 was great for me. CJC1295/Ipamorelin have been good for me, too, no experience with the others.

    Can I tell my TRT Clinic that I use UGL stuff?

    Im open with my well known clinic/provider about peptides and she's cool with it. You used to be able to get consultation only with a few clinics which I think is what you're after...access to labs and their interpretation. Probably not going to give you dose or substances advise though.

    Personal Nandrolone Experience

    Defy prescribed my 60mg 2x/week. I like it. I think ive felt some aggression on it, easier to anger but has to be provoked, if Im saying it right. Definite body comp change that I can see in the mirror. This went hand in hand with a T increase from 50mg/mL cream to 100mg/mL cream that I use. No...

    Switched from shots to scrotal cream

    I had added cream to injections initially to treat low DHT (low 5AR activity) and it did wonders, I eventually went to all cream and no injections. I get fantastic levels of T/FT/DHT. I do mostly scrotum but will go a click on the arm, upper chest, or deltoid. It hasn't been a cure all I still...

    How U.S. Blood Banks Handle Therapeutic Phlebotomy for Men on Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

    Its been about a year since I donated a pint of whole blood but don't recall an TRT screenings so may be that it's new and I haven't seen it yet. I've been able to get in to once per year donations. I never mentioned HCT/TRT/Phlebotomy at my donation center, I'm otherwise "clear" to donate.

    Oxandrolone (Anavar) Medical Uses- Presentation Attached

    I used ~50mg/Day, split in two, 25mg hour before the gym, the other half at bedtime. Very mild with my TRT, mild liver and lipids effects, Ive done 2-3 cycles with it, so far, and would use it again. No negative side effects that I noticed, had no impact on my EQ and sexual function which would...

    Indirect way of monitoring E2 without blood test?

    Anastrozole; and Ive used Exemestane(?) which didn't help but really threw out my lipid panel numbers that I had to stop that one. DIM was no help. Estrogen management for me is huge problem.

    Advice on where to find trustworthy peptides

    Peptide Sciences, here, too. I used a 6 week cycle of BPC-157 and healed bicep tendonitis. I forgot the dose but it would have been max or very high end and was often AM, and, PM shots in the medial head of the deltoid where I had the most pain when lifting. I was desperate to "heal" and get my...

    Indirect way of monitoring E2 without blood test?

    In my required use of an AI journey I tried it all over years time until I got to a dosage that did two things, cleared my body acne, and, improved EQ and Orgasm. I continued in a frequency of dosing and increased dosage my dosing until I didn't see any other improvements with a lower E value...

    22 yr Old Low E2, 0 Libido

    Its a little less talked about but one i believe in as it applies to me/myself is that your SHBG likewise binds your E like it does T. There is Free E just like Free T. I suspect your bloods by the levels are not a trough and were close to your injection.

    Compounded testosterone cream application sites aside from the scrotum

    Ill use chest, inner/outer forearms, deltoids, that's pretty much it after the scrotum. Sometimes it's all scrotum, sometimes it's all other spots and yet still I'll split a dose in those areas. Obviously scrotum is targeted for DHT conversion but otherwise I think that "best levels" is a bit of...

    High levels of antihistamine drugs can reduce fitness gains, study finds

    I think it's a 1/4 tea spoon. I buy a bulk bag and follow the label. Mixes easily in to my NO/Pre-Workout drink that I make.

    Adding Anastrozole, how much should I lower dose?

    What? Clarify this 650mg per week on 120mg test cyp, This is all so personal you can't quantify it in the way you're trying to do it. Too it would be ill advised to talk it through with out some T/FT/E2 labs and what you think your Elevated/High Estrogen symptoms are that that they need reduced.

    Testosterone anxiety?

    You can alternated scrotum with your wrist of deltoids, or halve your dose between application spots see if that eases some of the DHT/T/E levels you might be seeing.

    High levels of antihistamine drugs can reduce fitness gains, study finds

    Use of L-Histadine got me off all the OTC allergy meds I was depending on. Almost entirely. Avoiding benadryl/diphenhydramine has helped some with ED, too.

    Compounded testosterone cream application sites aside from the scrotum

    Transference is much less a thing than you think it is, yes wash your hands, dress/cover your spots, but otherwise its my opinion of 7 or 8 years on cream that you need direct contact and some friction/sustained contact to get in the transference domain. Transference isn't incidental contact.

    Help with blood test results and erectile dysfunction

    T:E ratio is a very flawed concept, as much as telling him his E in a normal lab range is fine and not a problem. If his SHBG is in some area of about 20 as he said, the result is more likely to be Estrogens are too high, FOR HIM.

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.
