Be careful with your diastolic in the 60's especially low 60s. the heart does not get enough oxygenated blood. I know you take daily tadalafil, but if you add viagra also it may be dipping into the 50s

my opinion there is no optimal level on any hormone, just ranges to go by. Some men need middle of the road, some need the lower end, and some need 2x the range. In terms of prog, my level was .3 on LabCorp. I tried some prog cream and it turned me into a angry a$$hole.

This is what I am referring to, it should be there worded as there is a chance of it happening. I searched reddit\forums and plenty of other posted labs of normal values with no HCG\supplement use.

Actually not concerned at all, was just curious in the theory you see everywhere with HCG backfilling hormones, I agree with your levels,, if you feel fine thats a bonus. Yes mods won't post labs , I can almost guarantee their levels are at or higher than yours.....but can always tell others...

looking back at mychart app, I started TRT in 2012...13 years is pretty long

The pregnenolone lab range is odd, just <150, so they make it seem like there is no low level. Do you supplement with it?

So I been on TRT for a long while and only tried HCG a couple times early on. It honestly made me feel like garbage. I thought I would give it another try but before I started it I had my DHEA, Pregnenolone, and progesterone tested. These are the hormones that most seem to say we need to...

You get a lot of calcium and magnesium through food if you eat healthy, I don't think one large dump of any nutrient is good. This multi gets you some of the basics without going overboard.

I agree here as well, sometimes certain nutrients make me feel awful as well. That would be Vit D 2000iu+, magnesium usually 200mg+ (Elemental), And super high doses of B12

This is a great multi, has about a 100% of daily values on most things vs 1000% https://www.amazon.com/NATURELO-One-Daily-Multivitamin-Men/dp/B01MA5K82Q?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1

I would check Vit D, B12. Also possibly magnesium and zinc blood levels.

Agree here, don't try messing dopamine. My buddy started using those zyn nicotine pouches for a dopamine boost well after a year he decided to quit because he had to use more and more for a benefit. After quitting he had minor depression, fatigue, no libido....took about 5-6 months to level back...

This was my original comment "This could help, but and also be another problem if your body can't clear\process Cholesterol properly" He presented a weak study, if you look at the method. My best friend does carnivore, his LDL stay in the 220-240 range. Is that good long term? So the same goes...

Far from what one would consider highly processed in todays foods Whole Grain Oats, Corn Starch, Sugar, Salt, Tripotassium Phosphate. Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) Added to Preserve Freshness. Vitamins and Minerals: Calcium Carbonate, Iron and Zinc (mineral nutrients), Vitamin C (sodium...

Did you see the method of this study???? Did you read the elevated LDL???

I guess it really depends on the DHT levels, my DHT is 3x the reference range on 14mg daily. I don't feel like superman with DHT that high. Im trying natural stuff to lower it, not Pharma. I assume if you are low on E2, this could be why some feel better lower DHT, as the high DHT is further...

I will also add, Sildenifil gives me nothing but side effects, but Vardenafil I recently got a script for works very well at only a 5mg dose and no sides. Evidently a little more targeted than others. I got a script for 30 20mg tablets (just split them) Cost is $60 at Mark Cuban's Cost plus drugs.

This could help, but and also be another problem if your body can't clear\process Cholesterol properly.

This... your blood pressure can vastly change in a matter of minutes, honestly you need a good bp monitor. Welch Allyn 1700 is one of the best home monitors. It uses the same algorithm as the clinical grade ones they make.

So I tried some progesterone cream(15mg) for about 4 days it just made me super irritable, I'm talking like if someone said hello it pissed me off.....So progesterone does not give me a calming effect I guess...lol. So I can't use that to try to balance my DHT

I have HCG coming, I had to resort to UGL for the estradiol vial I broke. I know the tablets are easy to get but I heard they are hard on the liver.

No, only tried cream a few years ago. Been on 14mg Test E daily for awhile.

I have pumpkin seed oil and quercetin coming. After that may give saw palmetto a try. I really don't want to try fin/dut....to many horror stories with those.

interesting that he reccomends a progesterone level 2.5x times the reference range, I also noticed he recommends Test 700-1100ng and an avg estadiol 25pg. To me that seems like it would cause low E2 symptoms especially since prog opposes e2 as well. With his optimal ranges, you would almost...

Your Gastritis is interesting, Late summer last year I got gastritis and GERD. Doc put me on a PPI for 4 weeks. Gastritis went away , but the GERD stayed. After I got me E2 levels up (though supplementation) the GERD mostly went away. I did break the estradiol validate vial in Feb. now I ordered...

all my test come up as a single line item through EPIC my chart. I have to view one item at a time , back out and click on the next.

I don't see a link

My T is really not that high , this was from last month same draw as DHT. I do 14mg Daily

My DHEA is also mid reference as well. I have to find my cortisol but it was about at the 75% mark of the range(that one was on a paper copy for some reason)

OK, will in a few
