You said “cortisol spikes” — interesting. So my question is: how does a cortisol spike actually feel? And how would testosterone feel — can you really feel testosterone directly, or what do you think you’re actually feeling? I always had the impression that with testosterone you feel things...

For me, it’s kind of the opposite of what some guys report: I can feel small and fine differences in dopamine / testosterone states. With testosterone propionate, I can usually tell when it’s peaking vs. when it’s lower — it’s not just “on vs off,” it feels like a gradient. Same thing with oral...

Sorry, I needed to correct something: I just noticed that ChatGPT messed up the estradiol (E2) value earlier — it’s not 28, it’s actually 40.4 pg/ml. My bad for the confusion. So based on the pattern I’ve seen, if I’m not taking anything, my E2 is probably somewhere around ~25 naturally, I...

I switched now to 10mg testosterone propionate + 150 IU HCG, and also added 200mg Iboga which is probably around 6 to 8 mg ibogaine hcl. And I have to say — this feels very, very interesting. The Iboga effect is honestly fascinating. I’ve heard that it kind of “resets” or re-learns patterns and...

I administered a 20% self-prepared scrotal testosterone cream, 100 mg twice daily, + 150 IUs hcg daily and experienced overstimulation. Very interesting are the very high DHT values. The following labs show the hormonal impact: ~5.5h after applying 20% scrotal cream Total Testosterone: 49.7...

Just saw this. (see screenshot). Seems like they quantify the soft plaque from a CT angiography with machine learning/AI. Is this how its done now or is this just a clinic with a state of the art custom solution that other clinics dont have? (it is from this video:

I came across this paper and found it a great reminder of how refined the dopamine system actually is. Below is a concise, plain-English summary you can skim. Big picture The paper asks not just how much dopamine (DA) is released, but where, when, and how precisely it acts in the brain. Old...

did you test your 20% DHT from Alphagels?

Yeah, it did boost my libido. I suspect my dose might be a bit high sometimes—I can feel a bit overstimulated. Hard to say how much HCG adds on top. Also not sure if cream or 20mg propionate boosted libido more. I also changed other things (more training, better health), so it’s not 100% clear...

Does anyone know the correct time of day to take blood tests while using testosterone cream? Next week I’ll have blood work done to check my levels on scrotal cream (100 mg AM + 100 mg PM + 150 IU HCG). In a video I saw, it said you should apply the cream at the same times for at least two...

Did you run HCG alone? If yes, do you have any numbers? If you switch to HCG only, is there a withdrawal or transition period where you feel off? With HCG only, do your E2 and SHBG rise? My SHBG doubled from 40 to 80 with Enclomiphene — maybe the upside is missing because of lower free T then?

How do you feel when it levels out? Have you tried propionate? What does your hCG protocol look like? How does that feel? What are the signs of low E2? I’m not sure if I’m experiencing them. For the past couple of days, I’ve been using 20% scrotal cream daily: 100 mg (two clicks) in the...

yeah way too high. Hormone Panel Comparison Most recent test on 20th october 2025 (+6 hours after injection of 20mg propionate and 150IUs hcg) Total Testosterone: >52.0 nmol/L (cut off at around 1500ng/dL)(Ref. 12.0 – 30.0) → High Free Testosterone: 58.47 pg/mL (Ref. 7.00 – 22.70) → High...

Hey guys, I’ve noticed a lot of people say they feel great when they change their protocol — new ester, new dose, new timing — but after things stabilize, they start feeling kind of “meh.” That made me wonder: does anyone here intentionally vary their dose a bit, based on how they feel? Like...

is there a genetic test? or do you mean to just look in family? so the dht can be used as an optional add on? is there a hangover or through feeling something if stopped? ramping up and insomnia. doesnt this have a short half life? is there a steady state achieved or is this just by the...

hehe... would be interesting to know the time difference between photos :D I think he is on scrotal cream 2x150mg per day. actually no idea how old he is. here is the link. youtu.be/zuKd3b80kiM?t=53

how quick you personally get the tolerance? how long you take dht already?

semi cylce? is there anything to look for like e.g. prostate?

Can’t find any TRT-friendly cardiologist here in Germany. I asked ChatGPT and googled a bit, but I’m not sure what exactly to look for. It’s difficult. Any ideas on how to approach the search? Maybe there are certain networks I could contact that could recommend someone. Not sure which kind of...

with that protocol (adding hcg) how would you handle high estrogen and shbg in that case? when using 6mg enclomiphene every 3 days I had high shbg, but estrogen was still in reference range. Also what would be benefit of hcg added to enclomiphene? Estradiol (E2): 43.6 pg/ml SHBG: 80.5 nmol/l

any idea if there is a chance to save a grainy cream? or would you put the cream also in the grinder? hehe

I don’t really understand this. I see people increasing their DHT to very high levels. But what I don’t get is: arent the mental effects also subject to tolerance? Like, do these mental effects just feel strong for a few weeks and then kind of fade away due to homeostasis? Or is DHT somehow...

I just tried making a 20% testosterone base cream using Pentravan with 20% propylene glycol, mixed in a mortar and pestle. But the texture feels a bit sandy (test base residue) — not as smooth as it should be. So I’m a bit unhappy with it. Now I’m thinking about switching to a solution — around...

I just got Pentravan here in Germany. chatgpt claims that with propylene glycol you shouldn’t go above 10% or it might crystallize. but no idea if thats reliable. But I’d like to make a 20% testosterone cream, has anyone done this reliably with Pentravan? What ratios or solvents do i really need?

Anything else you notice with low ferritin values? Why are they low in the first place? What do you for higher ferritin?

I’ve been running daily 20 mg Testosterone Propionate (IM) along with 150 IU HCG (IM) every day. At first, I was getting a lot of energy — even a bit of anxiety sometimes — but lately that energy seems to have faded. I’m not sure if there’s some kind of downregulation happening or if something...

I came across a YouTube video where someone claimed that daily Tadalafil (maybe 5 mg) caused a big reduction in estrogen levels in a study. Is that actually true? Has anyone seen the data or experienced this themselves?

I’m planning to do some blood test today to check how high my testosterone peaks with daily 20 mg Test Propionate (IM) and daily 150 IU HCG (IM). (After this I will probably switch to testosterone cream). I’ve read in some places that the peak occurs around 4–5 hours post injection, but ChatGPT...
