    Very similar it sounds like. How long have you been on that dose?

    New Test/E2/DHT Labs on 8mg Daily

    That's what I'm thinking. I'm 4 days in to dropping back to 7mg daily, and I've been "ready" every day...sorry TMI. But this isn't my normal. I've also lost some bloat just from that when after a huge cheat meal weekend. It's crazy how swollen I get from those levels and how quickly it goes...

    Is it true that an elevated hematocrit level on TRT does not require blood donation?

    I'm sure you have a great response, but wall of text is a bit too much.

    Is it true that an elevated hematocrit level on TRT does not require blood donation?

    So you're OK with a free test double the top of the reference range and a hct of >60?

    Is it true that an elevated hematocrit level on TRT does not require blood donation?

    Because when we donate too frequently we crash our ferritin.

    Women Need Testosterone, Too!

    She's been struggling with exercise motivation, oversleeping, low libido, muscle development and fat loss for a long time. Levels were low normal (including thyroid levels) and addressing both testosterone and thyroid has helped dramatically. She's still struggling with weight loss a little...

    New Test/E2/DHT Labs on 8mg Daily

    Not in a couple years, but when all this weirdness started and it was perfect then. Probably good to get it checked again anyway.

    The effect of vitamin D supplementation on depressive symptoms in adults

    Weak data basis followed by my weak yet obvious insight: vitamin D supplementation cannot replace light exposure in those with SAD.

    New Test/E2/DHT Labs on 8mg Daily

    Libido still suffers. I'm 100% fine with "once per week" frequency which isn't fine. Energy depends on the day, but usually good day to day. Anxiety is very much improved. Sleep seems to be more dependent on total calorie intake. Mood is good, but mood was fine mostly with low levels too...

    "TRT/HRT/Nutrition/Cognition/Wellness/LT student of the game"

    Yes, I do that with my food but I use Macrofactor which is working well. My AM cortisol is in the normal range but on the low side. I have realized that if I lower my kcal enough to lose weight (under 3200) I sleep and feel terrible. It makes sense libido would follow. Years ago I was...

    This is an interesting thought about libido and fed state. Easily could be playing a role in my low libido state.

    New Test/E2/DHT Labs on 8mg Daily

    These results are from labs drawn 16 hours after injection and 8 hours before the next, so not quite true trough, but since I inject at 9pm, I don't know what any other option is. 8mg daily, test cyp shallow IM. Anyone have any suggestions or good to go? I was using 7mg daily for many months...

    TRT question for female

    It's the same thing...if all those things are correct, and one isn't losing weight, then you must restrict calories. Your likely assuming a bigger deficit then what I'm talking about I guess. If what you're saying was accurate, then I'd be 215lb at less than 10% BF, but at some point, calories...

    TRT question for female

    But all of those things create an energy deficit at a certain caloric threshold, meaning diet...isn't the point to not be in too much of a deficit to disrupt hormone production, metabolic rate, etc? For example, if my wife is 160lb right now, and optimizes all those things you mentioned...

    TRT question for female

    My wife has been on 10mg test cyp per week for around 8 weeks and only has had positives, no side effects. So, I think that's .05mL once per week. I do the injections for her though.

    Is training fasted optimal for hypertrophy and strength.

    I workout 4 days per week, get at least 10k steps per day and try to get in a few mile trail mountain bike rides twice per week. As of now, 2500kcal with about 250g cho seems to work to lose weight, but it's slightly stalling so I might need to drop more.

    Is training fasted optimal for hypertrophy and strength.

    So how many carbs is ideal while trying to lose weight? Is the point just *some*, and not keto?

    BPC-157 and Cancer

    I've been wondering about this. If bpc157 increases angiogenesis rapidly, wouldn't it do this to cancer causing rapid progression?

    New Daily Test Cyp Results

    I haven't felt well in 2 decades, but no, I think only my libido was a little better on 10mg then 5mg. Workout recovery is definitely better on >7mg per day then 5mg, and possibly sleep, but hard to tell because I've been trying to lose weight and anytime I cut my calories, I feel and sleep...
