    Study: hCG Increases Sex Drive and Improves ED in Men

    the dosing is always huge in the studies, according to this known study, there is no point in dosing over 250iu eod, especially if used as add on with testosterone. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15713727/

    Male infertility and gonadotropin treatment

    Great work once again, wondering about the hcg dosages, i guess since most studies are for fertility, running huge amounts of hcg is not going to burn out the nuts in a matter of months, but if running rhcg on a continuous protocol with or without exogenous t, what would be a sensible dose...

    Fsh and libido

    i think youre doing too much hcg, 75 fsh i think is usually taken 3xweek on fertility protocols, still i have no clue if it has any negative effects to run all the time at that dose, but when it comes to hcg i believe there is a chance of overcooking the testes, 250iu eod seems according to...

    Is it impossible to get 10ml vials anymore?

    indeed you should harness their power, want something changed, just pose as a FTM in their space and make an uprising for decent vials or whatever

    Is it impossible to get 10ml vials anymore?

    Well at least it's a vial, we have to deal with ampoules with pharma stuff in europe. Options are getting sterile empty vials or keeping the stuff in a syringe and backloading into slin pins.

    Is it impossible to get 10ml vials anymore?

    As a sidenote, seems you @BigTex switched TU to daily cypionate, are you doing this im or subq? Why not get an empty 10ml vial and draw all the 1ml vials in there in one session?

    Hcg and headaches

    Good as in top of range or what? Most would be well above range on through with your protocol, are you taking enanthate or what? There is a study according to which 250iu eod produces slightly over baseline intratesticular testosterone, so take half next time.

    Hcg and headaches

    You dont disclose your protocol, did you see how high test+hcg drove your test levels and e2, you could just be responding very well to the hcg and driving your test levels too high when using both.

    Permanent side effect from Pregnenolone?

    Yes i think so too, can never get constant results from orals, and i have yet to figure out how orals always end up ruining sleep, meaning if i have taken pregnenolone in the morning, the next night i will be waking up several times. Larger doses like 50-100mg life extension give significant...

    Low ferritin doesn't matter as long as hemoglobin and hematocrit are good?

    I have taken sTfr, and transferrin while on trt and low ferritin, both checked ok, but still i can also subscribe to the camp that says they feel better after donating, could the hepcidin suppression causing iron leaking into tissues be causing stiffness and general heavy feeling, or would this...

    Low ferritin doesn't matter as long as hemoglobin and hematocrit are good?

    When Did Bloodletting Start? Egyptians were among the first to perform bloodletting more than 3000 years ago. From there, the practice spread to the Greeks and Romans, then Asia, and beyond. By the Middle Ages, bloodletting was widely practiced in Europe and barbers served as pseudo-medical...

    At least in my country, dht is so expensive that people rarely test it

    Low ferritin doesn't matter as long as hemoglobin and hematocrit are good?

    Nice, at one point i was doing enanthate 7.5mg daily, i guess around 5.5mg test, got a through of 15nmol/l so around 430ng/dl

    Low ferritin doesn't matter as long as hemoglobin and hematocrit are good?

    Yes i am familiar with this school of thought, and yes the exogenous testosterone suppressing effect on hepcidin(could lead to iron overload) is more significant in aging males and higher dosages, still you hear a lot of guys telling how they need to supplement iron on trt, go figure.

    Low ferritin doesn't matter as long as hemoglobin and hematocrit are good?

    Slightly offtopic but where are your levels sitting with less than 5mg? Daily prop-enan blend or what? Iron overload on TRT, really?

    Does hCG boost libido by stimulating 5-alpha-reductase?

    So it does seem according to that study that hcg is not a DHT booster, since higher dht was found on exogenous t compared with gonadotropins group.

    Subq increased aromatiztion

    It seems delatestryl has some chlorobutanol, never seen that in a t solution before, maybe it is in a non-relevant amount? In Europe there a couple of 250mg/ml enanthates in ampoules that have nothing but arrachis oil in them, been wondering how safe transferring it to an empty vial would be...

    The Easy Way to Talk About Penises

    I wonder if doctors at large are familiar with e2 effects on erections, you mostly hear talk about the approaching heart attack, but if say hcg or exogenous t can induce a softer erection, it's not just about clogged arteries.

    Any concerns about long term anastrozole use in men?

    As i said same ester and amount, undecanoate in this case. And the dose being 1000mg at once, testosterone levels are the same in the same timeframe post injection.

    Any concerns about long term anastrozole use in men?

    Gonna borrow this thread to ask if anyone has a clue as to why i am aromatizing half the e2 from the same ester and amount of testosterone as before? Now, i don't know if this is a problem, as i am now in range, before i was over, but might have felt slightly better and libido-wise as well...
