    Bloodwork results and opinions/advice

    I'm sorry you feel that way sir. If you think a man with a total testosterone of 421 and that his free T could somehow be in a good range. More power to you. So you're telling me you have a total testosterone of around 400 and you're free testosterone it's in a good range? Plus you feel as...

    Bloodwork results and opinions/advice

    I know you're smarter than that. With a T of 421, you really believe that his free T would be in a healthy range for a 23-year-old. How long have you been on this form? I know you know better.

    Bloodwork results and opinions/advice

    I understand what you're saying, you do not consider a 23-year-old man with a total T of 421 as low. Personally, if I had a level of 421 I would not feel good at all. But that's me. I know you enjoy lower levels, which works for you. Don't follow the cookie cutter approach. Every person is...

    Bloodwork results and opinions/advice

    For a 23-year-old man, your levels are low. You should get your LH at FSH. Checked to see if your primary or secondary. You may want to find a good clinic like defy medical. That's who I use. The issue is your age. When someone is on trt It's hard to remain fertile.

    High hematocrit

    Your hematocrit I wouldn't consider it too high. The main thing is stay well hydrated, like you said drink water. Don't smoke and if you have sleep Apnea take care of it.

    Testosterone use with enlarged aorta

    I know this is off the subject. Enlarge aorta, once when I was in my doctor's office I saw the sleeves that they put over aorta artery. I was told an engineer design the sleeve to save his own life. It worked, pretty amazing. As you know, I'm not a doctor. I think the main concern is your blood...

    hCG question- is it too late

    I use zyhcg from reliable RX, generic

    Maximum hematocrit recommended with positive calcium score

    I feel much better with higher levels of testosterone. My estrogen levels are perfect, so maybe that's why I feel so good. I agree. Stay hydrated and try to keep a good VO2 max. It's not that hard to reshape your arteries as long as you keep your plaque growth to 10% or less a year. At that rate...

    Maximum hematocrit recommended with positive calcium score

    A CAC score of 153 I wouldn't consider it bad. As long as your VO2 max is good. I wouldn't be concerned. Just stop the growth of plaque and you'll be good. Your arteries can reshape themselves and stay open even with a high CT score which I would not consider yours high.

    hCG question- is it too late

    500 IU of HCG twice a week should be fine. It usually only takes a few weeks. I'm primarily and I inject 500 IU combined with my testosterone in the same syringe every third day.

    Any other Prop blend options?

    Half-life numbers seem to be 5 days for cypionate, 4.5 days for enanthate, and 0.8 days for propionate. Some feel better with a protocol that matches closer to their natural production of testosterone.

    Best zinc to lower estrogen levels? Zinc picolinate?

    My understanding is if your levels are good, no need to worry. If zinc levels are low and you supplement, then yes it will improve or lower your estrogen levels.

    Orgasm. But no feeling

    What's level is your estrogen at?

    Orgasm. But no feeling

    I do both Sub-Q 2 days a week and shallow IM 4 days I rotate 6 injection areas. The only reason I went to daily's was to control my HCT. Which it worked. Thankfully. I have not donated blood for 9 years now. I felt great on any any TRT protocol.

    What's the u-shape for estrogen?

    The key takeaway is that the brain is highly sensitive to its neurochemical environment, and "more is better" is not the case for estrogen. There is a "sweet spot" for optimal function.

    What's the u-shape for estrogen?

    Studies show that estrogen plays a more significant role than 'testosterone" in maintaining bone mineral density (BMD) in men, particularly the cortical bone. This is because estrogen is crucial for regulating both the acquisition of peak bone mass in young men and preventing bone loss in older...

    What's the u-shape for estrogen?

    The only hormone given to patients is T and many also inject HCG. So I would say your statement is incorrect. Other hormones may follow but usually not injected or given.

    What's the u-shape for estrogen?

    I wonder if we worry too much about our testosterone levels? Maybe it's the e2 levels we should be more concerned about. At least in my case it seems like it.

    What's the u-shape for estrogen?

    I know some members complain about my high testosterone levels. Maybe it's not my T levels that makes me feel so good, maybe it's my E2 levels. Is this true? My Estradiol, Sensitive 26.7 pg/mL range 8.0-35.0, how much better could it be. What's the u-shape for estrogen? After my research it...

    Orgasm. But no feeling

    This is my protocol 16 mg of testosterone cypionate daily and 500 IU of HCG every third day, no AI. I combine both the HCG and testosterone in the same syringe. My last Labs my total T was above 1500, My doctor told me if I feel good I can leave it as it is, which I do and did leave as is. I...

    Orgasm. But no feeling

    I been on trt for 11 years now. My orgasms are great and I can still cum two times in a row. After my first wife passed away from cancer and I started dating again. I was in my '50s and I was able to come three times in a row. Now that I'm in my '70s twice is fine for me.

    Be careful with armidex. Men do need estrogen for overall health.

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.
