DHT Cream Plus Testosterone Propionate = Major Libido Boost
It's probably fine for many purposes as a TRT adjunct. My friend is only able to use .25 ml of the alphagels product every other day because it's so potent, and testing suggests that is only ~10% DHT.- FunkOdyssey

Indirect way of monitoring E2 without blood test?
Your only hope of dialing in anastrozole is frequent bloodwork, and even that can be misleading, as the blood levels of E2 don't necessarily correspond to the effects of aromatase inhibition in tissues. Without the bloodwork though, your already low chance of success is reduced to pretty much...- FunkOdyssey

Building a TRT protocol around hCG
I'm doing it - taking 150 iu daily right now, and if I have to drop something lower, it will be the testosterone. That's a far cry from running hCG alone or test suspension though, either of which will produce a 24 hr testosterone AUC that is somewhere close to my natty test AUC. Please don't...- FunkOdyssey

Testosterone Therapy in Pre- and Post-Menopausal Women: Deep Dive
The decay rate of her follicles is the determinant of ovarian failure and it doesn't seem to matter whether you are stimulating them and releasing them or not. Their lifespan seems relatively fixed and finite either way (and is only about half of the woman's lifespan, strangely). I just read 4...- FunkOdyssey

Please check out my testosterone test results!!
That's all pretty normal. What you're missing that is really important here is SHBG, so you could calculate your free testosterone. You'll want to repeat the total T, and this time I would add SHBG, estradiol (ultrasensitive) and LH. Free T is basically all that matters for hypogonadal...- FunkOdyssey

Building a TRT protocol around hCG
That probably would work pretty well, but I'm not prepared to give up the physique advantages of actual TRT just yet. Maybe down the road if nothing else works.- FunkOdyssey

Testosterone Therapy in Pre- and Post-Menopausal Women: Deep Dive
Possibly for someone younger. I wouldn't think it would be too effective as you approach ovarian failure (and not at all effective afterwards).- FunkOdyssey

Testosterone Therapy in Pre- and Post-Menopausal Women: Deep Dive
Crucial point here. Giving my perimenopausal wife TRT only without estradiol did not work out well long-term. It gave her a strange mix of libido at times, combined with pain/discomfort during intercourse due to lack of estradiol.- FunkOdyssey

Building a TRT protocol around hCG
Wow! Let me get this straight: you added 250 iu EOD to a protocol that otherwise would produce 10-20 pg/mL e2, and your E2 is now 86 pg/mL? If so, that's the craziest hCG e2 spike I've ever heard of. And yeah, that could certainly explain the loss of libido and moodiness. What effect did it...- FunkOdyssey

Building a TRT protocol around hCG
So far, there have been some windows of improved libido, that have varied between a few hours to most of a day. I have no idea. It seems like most of the people who benefit from hCG use it continuously, although I've heard at least one anecdote where it only worked when cycled. I know what...- FunkOdyssey

Building a TRT protocol around hCG
DHEA can raise it somewhat. The most reliable method is to supplement E2 directly though, crazy as it sounds. Your clinic will almost certainly help if you want to go that route, or you can procure it yourself from sources that cater to the trans market: Home - DIYHRT.Market I like injections...- FunkOdyssey
