    Frustrated with bloodwork. Daily injections, lowered dose, no AI.

    I would say both. When I first started trt I had to donate blood every 8 weeks. When I went to daily injections I never had to donate again. My HCT has stayed in a good range for over 9 years.

    I agree with whitemale. It's just a number, estrogen is very important for men to stay healthy.

    It sounds like you have the perfect protocol for you. I would not change anything. It's great that you can have higher levels of estrogen and feel the good benefits.

    Issues with TRT

    It's been a long time since the average clinic would prescribe higher than 100 mg of testosterone per week.

    Issues with TRT

    Many physicians will typically start patients with a low dose of testosterone, ranging between 50-75 mg, to allow the body time to adjust to the medication before gradually increasing the dosage every week; but, in most cases, the average dose is usually 75 mg at the beginning of treatment.

    My dick may need injections

    As you know I'm not a doctor so this is only my two cents. Try 20 mg of Cialis and 200 mg of Viagra

    My dick may need injections

    Could you just increase your dose of Viagra, Cialis?

    Injection frequency question

    65 should be okay. It might be hard to see it on the syringe? 200 mg is a pretty high dose. Have you ever thought about maybe 60, 3 times a week? Do you have any issues with high levels of HCT?

    Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) and ED

    We found that higher food thiamin intake was significantly associated with lower incidence of hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and ED (all p trend 1.3 μg were 0.782 (0.651 to 0.940) (p<0.05). These findings suggest that dietary thiamin intake may play a protective role in...

    Tell us more about you. Your age, your health and you ever want to have children or are you done have kids. It's hard to remain fertile when you're on TRT

    Less carbs equals less water retention

    Scientific studies confirm that reducing carbohydrate intake leads to significant decreases in water retention, primarily due to the way the body stores energy as glycogen. When carbohydrates are absorbed, they bind to water; 1g of glycogen (carbohydrate) binds to 3g of water. If you eat a diet...

    When I did start daily injections. I no longer had to donate blood. So I really don't know if it was daily injections or just my body just stabilizing and getting used to trt.

    I can tell you what works for me. Eat non-starchy vegetables, meat and eggs. You'll be surprised how good you will feel. I shouldn't forget drink water and if you drink coffee make sure it's only black.

    Minimum testosterone to get a growth advantage

    primo, I wouldn't use it. With HCT of 58% I would stop T for at least a week and just inject 10 mg daily until your HCT is good. You may want to find out if there's another reason why your HCT is so high. We do have lots of good threads on the subject.

    Minimum testosterone to get a growth advantage

    You didn't say what HCT is at. Anyways, I would reduce my testosterone to 100 mg a week, plus the HCG. It would probably be best to even lower it more. To lower my HCT I went to daily injections and now I inject 16 mg daily plus every third day I inject 500 IU of HCG. I haven't had to donate...

    Can I take 4 pills of 5mg tadalafil and expect the same effect as 20 mg tadalafil?

    I buy them from reliable RX. You don't need a script, price is good, you can buy as many as you want, plus it's pretty quick delivery.

    Can I take 4 pills of 5mg tadalafil and expect the same effect as 20 mg tadalafil?

    Yes you can take four tablets of 5 mg of Cialis and get the same results as taking 20 mg of Cialis. Personally, I think Viagra does a better job. I buy my ED meds from India.

    Ancedotes of feeling better when taking time off injections.. Science behind this?

    That would make sense because estrogen follows testosterone.

    Ancedotes of feeling better when taking time off injections.. Science behind this?

    When you stop injections, your testosterone and estrogen levels may drop at a different percent. The ratio between testosterone and estrogen might reach an optimal balance that makes you feel great, as neither hormone is excessively high or low.

    U-curve for men's belly fat and bone density

    anxiety can lead to bone loss in men This actually makes a lot of sense. Some men get anxiety from trt and when they are on a higher dose their anxiety goes up. Which of course would lead to bone loss. Not all men get anxiety from trt. Maybe that's why some men can use higher levels and some...
