If this is the case, that DHT will keep balls in check, how come there is no product for trt that combines test and dht.

Did you have the high hematocrit on nebido as well as the solid erections? What was your protocol like on nebido?

I'm sorry if it has been asked frequently but have you tried cutting the d out for a while, seems you are hellbent on taking it daily? And please elaborate how you can have a parathyroid problem with none of the markers? You are supposed to check albumin corrected or ionized calcium as i'm sure...

Yes i was going to say this too, i have personally been able to reap benefits of testosterone after stopping for quite some time.

Have you considered the possibility that you might be enjoying a rebound effect of your hormonal axis re-activating after years on trt...probably a little premature to be declaring having found your sweet spot on the hypogonadal range at this point, also you took one afternoon snapshot of your...

So you never had elevated parathyroid hormone levels but still thought this was your problem, nevertheless this got me thinking it might be worth testing, i had mildly elevated calcium years ago, still within limits, was thinking albumin corrected Ca and parathroid will reveal the problem for sure.

So how many weeks are you off trt, don't get me wrong i really hope it's not just a rebound effect but we have certainly seen how symptoms tend to creep up again. I guess there is always hope when something has changed, be it food or exercise or body composition, stress, sleep etc. Personally...

So daily injections, that through is not super low, meaning you are not spending alot of time on low levels, even so if the peak is double that it might still be bit too low, might be another story if you were injecting IM, lots of anecdotes where subq results in lower levels.

Be sure to report on the LH once you get there.

Fascinating, how much clomid per week and how often, how often do you inject the cyp?

This supports the idea that hcg mono does not require huge doses like often claimed, goes well with the other study showing over baseline ITT on 500iu eod.

Does wellbutrin make you finish faster? Are you doing these subq or IM, i'm currently also taking 500hcg 75fsh MWF, no testosterone as i'm going to get labs done soon to see what testicles are putting out.

So you are not on trt? Have heard what you are describing from people on trt. Maybe you should get some labs.

I dont think 10mg a week reduction should have that effect, you're surely getting more testosterone from your testicles with hcg than what you're losing dropping the dose.

If you just dip your toes in carbs it's not surprising you crave simple carbs, if on the other hand you have been really taking in calories from complex carbohydrates there might be other issues.

exogenous testosterone seems to have interaction with ghrelin, not sure if direct or not

Your through still seems little too high considering it's still pretty infrequent injection schedule, why not give lower numbers a go...

Calcium is one reason i never jumped on the bandwagon. Raw milk would be ideal.

Interestingly, women suffer fewer muscle injuries, and more ligament ruptures than men (Arendt and Dick, 1995; Sewright et al., 2008; Hägglund et al., 2009; Edouard et al., 2016; Leblanc et al., 2017). These observations are consistent with lower sinew stiffness in women than men. Since knee...

Elsewhere there was just a discussion with many reports of tennis and golfers elbow upon starting trt. Have also had this happen myself.

There must be something missing here, that contributed to low ferritin levels, since that low t should not tank your levels, also did you feel like a god and just got off due to low number of ferritin or did you have symptoms?

So on top of prop you are still using HCG? do you pin prop IM daily and how many different spots do you rotate, personally i dont think i could live with the pip, other than that daily propionate seems ideal for trt.

Every 3.5 days on cyp should actually be pretty low fluctuation, my guess is either cyp is not good for you, or the dose results in unfavorable balance of testosterone metabolites. Pretty sure erections will not appear but i guess waiting until 6 weeks has passed would be smart anyway.

@Cataceous does dht lag behind as well, i guess in addition to prolactin DHT should be tracked as well when solving issues on protocols, where i live it's really expensive though.

fair enough, but the lag effect might be significant for some i guess, one option is also that on the first day estradiol is welcome and by the second saturation of receptors would not be needed but e2 keeps on getting produced in quite similar rate even though testosterone gets released less...

The link you provided mentioned trt induced estradiol as the likely mechanism as well. It also makes sense, feedback loop gone etc. Well, this is why i am saying it's related to E2, on the injection day you have less since none is floating around from the days before. I will for sure check...

This is what i've been trying to say, i dont see turning to prolactin very useful when 99% sure it comes from too much estradiol in the system, probably many guys are able to blunt those effects by adding more t which makes the ratios better. If that is detrimental in the long run who knows...

ok thanks for the tip, can you tell me a little about the mechanism by which testosterone injection causes a delayed rise in prolactin, and IF prolactin is causing the symptoms why does more testosterone equal less symptoms? Also you are probably aware that raised estradiol can contribute to...

Also, further proof, when injecting 250mg of sustanon, the estradiol symptoms strike around day 3, when prop and phenylprop drop vane off. Have tested estradiol and it is not aromatizing at the same rate it does on smaller doses, that amount of sustanon takes t levels above 2500 briefly. So the...

If you were answering to me i'm not sure what you're referring to, it is clear as day that estradiol follows testosterone, so it makes perfect sense that on the injection day there is less estradiol present and for this reason i feel good in all areas. I feel worse the next day if the injection...

I would assume that is the case, can't think what else, but you know, on the injection day mood and libido are good, as well as sensitivity, sex feels better, next day not so much for any of those, start feeling better and less moody as the ester has started to decline and less estradiol is...
