    Best option to increase testicle function?

    I noticed nothing using gonadorelin…. When I use hcg like 1000 EOD my testicle swell up! When I do 500 twice a week, I notice nothing really. I may drop by test to 75 weekly and do 500 hcg eod which does 1750 total a week. As for fsh I did (75 three times a week) I noticed nothing as well...

    Best option to increase testicle function?

    Also if LH only goes up for a very short period of time, is it even doing anything? Or it means I have to inject every few hours? If so, maybe I just stick with HCG?

    Best option to increase testicle function?

    Ok and I’ll add low dose arimidex to lower my estrogen levels, think that’ll help too?

    Best option to increase testicle function?

    Appreciate it! I injected the gonadorelin at night, my labs where done the next day around 3pm… my ultrasensitive E2 was 60, maybe that had something to do with it

    Best option to increase testicle function?

    regarding gonadorelin, I did 200 mcg daily for a month, no hcg, and was on 100mg test a week. My LH was <.2. Was it that I needed nolvadex etc?

    Testosterone Levels Too High?

    Madman, in general, what’s highest TT and free T that would yield a good balance between muscle gains and long term sides? I know prob dose that doesn’t increase HCT etc but would bring 1000-1100 long term be ok generally speaking even if phlebotomy is done anyway (I like donating blood to help...

    45, normal calcium score, 650 TT at trough

    First, I’m so relieved my calcium score came back at zero! My lipoprotein a is <10. My TT was 650 at the trough (I inject 50 mg Sunday night and Wednesday night, did labs Wednesday afternoon)…. Change anything or ok to go up from 100 mg a week to 150 mg where I feel better mentally and...

    Vince's Labs from 4/15/24

    I feel better mood on it. Keeps testes alive, so other hormones are still made such as pregnenolone etc

    Vince's Labs from 4/15/24

    All from 100 mg weekly of nandrolone? How long were u on it etc?
  20. S

    Vince's Labs from 4/15/24

    So the nandrolone increased the small dense particles of ldl? If so by how much?
  21. S

    Vince's Labs from 4/15/24

    What about the particle numbers? You checked small dense ldl particles etc?

    Trt options in men with BPH

    maybe for me i may drop my test dose and add in nandrolone as it may be safer for the prostate. do 80-90 mg each a week.

    Trt options in men with BPH

    I did it to detect a problem early… so many I know with cancer found it on an incidental scan. Is if u catch pancreatic cancer early, much higher cure rate

    Trt options in men with BPH

    I ment really lowering my TT from 1000 to 6-700, still within normal ranges.

    Trt options in men with BPH

    What do you mean? Don’t change my trt and keep levels around 900-1000 TT? I was thinking more towards risk reduction, ie lower the DHT to prevent progression (which is what dutasteride does)

    Trt options in men with BPH

    Right, I think it just treats symptoms which I don’t have any. Was thinking of ways to have lean athletic build while minimizing progression of BPH. Luckily my PSA stays around .4 I really think lowering my DHT levels is the best approach and maybe do that by lowering my test dose and...

    Trt options in men with BPH

    I’m only 45 but have BPH, no symptoms. Did mri scan of body and found my prostate to be 38 ml, normal is less than 30 ml. My TT is around 900-1000, I was thinking of dropping it to 6-700 and maybe add low dose nandrolone as a semi replacement or addition as nandrolone doesn’t convert to DHT...

    I’m 45 and found I have BPH!

    Right but from what I read, it just helps the symptoms of BPH but doesn’t reduce the size of the prostate On side note I’m embarrassed to say I’m on oxandrolone from a trt clinic, I know it’s a DHT derivative and definitely makes things worse so I’m stopping this and droping my trt dose down ...

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.
