Wow. Interesting how we all are effected so differently.

How long into ED was that? Meaning, how many weeks?

@BeardedButcher55 See question above.

So your HCT was better with 20mg daily vs 70mg twice per week? How high was your free T?

How is 7mg daily going?

No hcg, using test cyp.

I’m pretty sure your HCT will be higher with 20mg daily totaling 140mg per week vs 70mg twice per week. To give reference to that, around 8-9mg daily gives me the same HCT (with a much higher free T trough though) than 60mg twice per week.

This freaks me out, but, I simply can’t find the balance without it. Alternating 7-8mg daily has felt the best, but quite sure HCT will be 50-52, given that 8mg daily was 54 HCT and 7mg daily was 48 HCT…but oddly enough, 7-8mg daily or 8mg daily gives me great BP, 7mg daily or below and my BP...

Oh gotcha. I haven’t had anything like that on bloodwork, only elevated BUN from excess protein.

What risks with telmisartan?

That’s kind of how I look at it WRT HCT. I spent years trying to get it under 50, but that always resulted in free test and e2 too low and feeling like garbage, which caused my BP to go up. Free test higher resulting in higher e2 keeping my BP healthy, but my HCT 52-53. So be it.

What were your negatives with daily dosing? I’m doing well so far with alternating 7-8mg daily.

What does HC mean? Edit: oh, hematocrit?

How do you measure 7.5mg per day?

Are you sure you tested both at trough?

My wife is about to be prescribed one of these. There looks to be plenty of benefits, and the side effects look to be gastro and maybe libido? Weight regain possibly without lifestyle modification as well…?

I’m also on 40mg telmisartan. If it was causing any of the issues described here, how long after stopping would those issues disappear if I wanted to test it?

Truth!

Yeah, so, I doubled my dose. I definitely was making this more complicated than it should be. Guess I’m in for an uncomfortable night like the other times I’ve tried to increase dose too far.

If I’m doing 8mg daily, I know that’s 4 ticks on the 100 unit syringe. How many ticks is that on the 50 unit syringe? I’m pretty sure I just gave myself a double dose by accident.

A Right, but what I’m asking is…let’s say I have less water and feel better on test prop, but I still get stuck between 2 doses…1 gives higher BP and less thick blood, the other gives thicker blood but lower BP. Which would you do? This isn’t about how I feel or how I look; it’s about blood...

Right, and my resting BP average is between 130-140/80 with the lower dose resulting in lower e2, or 115-130/75 or so with a higher dose and higher e2, but results in a HGB of 18.5 and HCT of 54. Those are months on average also.

I have a great one and years of religiously and obsessively checking it, I’m very well aware of its fluctuations, peaks and valleys. You can trust those blood pressures I’ve mentioned.

Yes, they fluctuate, and when my e2 is lower, they the lowest it gets is still higher.

Right, but which scenario would you prefer out of the two if none of those suggestions turn out well either?

Brother than that, let’s say it doesn’t work…would you rather have thicker blood, or a mildly high BP?

Those BPs are pretty well established; I have a monitor.

Nope, no caffeine.

A doctor can prescribe that too?

DHEA has consistently made me feel worse and more bloated, even though my levels are low. Doesn’t seem to matter the type either. I’m sure at night my BP goes down to more acceptable levels because if I take long enough in the middle of the day to relax I can get it to 120’s over 70’s. I’m on...

Curious to what @Nelson Vergel would think strictly from a longevity view point.
