    Starting TRT Soon

    I think that one can avoid mood swings and other initial side effects if one slowly increases the blood serum T and avoids overshooting. The baseline natural T level then matters because natural production decreases after TRT initialization. E.g. starting at 150 or 450 and aiming at 800 would...

    Fainting, High HCT, Low Ferritin — TRT Vet of 15+ Years Needs Help ASAP

    You could donate blood to calm your mind. I would also take an iron supplement as well as the psych meds if they help with the symptoms, and also talk to the psychiatrist. Edit: I'm not sure about the iron supplement after reading @Guided_by_Voices post. Edit2: Reading up on TIBC, saturation. I...

    Fainting, High HCT, Low Ferritin — TRT Vet of 15+ Years Needs Help ASAP

    Imho you should compare the current lab report with previous ones in order to identify significant changes. Compare the hematocrit and estrogen values. PCP's reaction is typical... Question is what would be next on the list of possible causes. Your ferritin is further off range than the hct. I...

    Why do most say other hormones deplete while on TRT?

    Exactly that has been the problem here. It sounds like it's damn sure that something is broken "this suppression disrupts the entire steroidogenesis pathway[1][3][4]."

    Why do most say other hormones deplete while on TRT?

    This theory was popular at excelmale Regarding dhea, pregnenolone (the majority doesn't need to supplement it): Post in thread 'Supraphysiologic testosterone (350 mg weekly)' Supraphysiologic testosterone (350 mg weekly) - Page 3 - Excel Male TRT Forum I believe most issues occur only if men...

    What it the purpose of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) ?

    @Cataceous I meant if we had example cases it would be easier to comprehend. We both had a bit discussion about the topic and I think you are right. The details are hard to evaluate. E.g. some TRT clinics prescribe a dht derivative in order to increase free T by lowering shbg. They claim that is...

    @Nelson Vergel and @Cataceous Can you find evidence for both theories/explanations (shbg on TRT etc)?

    How Your Vitamin D Level Can Boost the Heart Health Benefits of Testosterone Therapy for Men: New Study

    I took daily 20,000IU and this got my levels only to 40. Maybe underdosed pills? Switched to liquid D3 dissolved in MCT oil. Here the threshold for deficiency is 20.

    Increase post workout recovery

    Hello @madman, are you still using that combo? How about creatine post workout? Do we have a thread on how to improve recovery besides the general 'eat and sleep' advice? What impact has cardio and stretching?

    Supraphysiologic testosterone (350 mg weekly)

    I recall he said to measure first and check if they are deficient and look for possible symptoms. He emphasized that there is an inverse U shaped dose-response. T and dhea are more likely out of balance while on trt. In the average man there is probably no need for dhea nor trt. The problem is...

    Supraphysiologic testosterone (350 mg weekly)

    TRT can improve mental health. What you are planning might backfire. Be aware that after your 12 week cycle you will likely feel much worse before your own T production is fully back to normal AND your brain re-adapted to your normal levels. You might bring your depression to a complete new level.

    What would you do? HCT vs. BP

    The BP difference is strange. I'm no longer sure what's the best BP is. That's why I asked how you feel. Are you sure the resting BP is consistently higher? If you add dhea, does it make a difference?
  20. Seagal

    What would you do? HCT vs. BP

    Based on this information I would go with the better 'feeling' setting for TRT. Maybe you can optimize it with dhea, and regarding gym maybe more creatine, coffeïne pre-workout or oral AAS pre-workout for cns stimulation.

    What would you do? HCT vs. BP

    Please don't say the only difference between the two labs is a different dose of TC? How do you feel on both settings?

    TRT plus Low dose Ligandrol LGD-4033

    Wonder what the impact of LGD is on hematocrit. All AAS seem to increase hematocrit. I'm now at 63mg T per week (100mg TU).

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.
