Serious question about my son. Does anyone know at what age you should start to check or be concerned about their hormonal development? From the time he was born he always appeared to be very underdeveloped in the genitalia department. Very small testicles and penis. I remember changing my...

Last week I stopped my restart attempt and went back on TRT. I stopped nolvadex at 10 mg and just started with the shots again. Is there a likely issue with estrogen rebound ? Should I have tapered past 10mg? Continue it while on the trt for a while? Any advice? Just wondering because I...

Well here we go again. Currently in the middle of a restart attempt. Brief summary..... I've been on trt for three years. I started because I had all the symptoms even though my TT was in the 400s. Turns out it was issues with benzos that I was on at the time but by the time I figured that out...

Wanted to see if anyone experiences this.... Once every month or two I will wake up and feel like everything is gone and it lasts about 1-2 weeks. Nocturnal Erections, general fullness when hanging flaccid, strength, energy, etc. all gone. Then things get straightened out for whatever reason...

Ok. I am feeling like an idiot. A long while back I did the math and calculated that using an insulin syringe (marked in units) and using T Cyp with 200mg/ml that 1 unit on the syringe would equal one mg of T. For instance if I was going to inject 50mg, then I would inject 50 units...... I...

I just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas... For the past two days I have been having a weird pain almost like someone scratched me hard and a mild itch and it is always over large surface veins. It doesn't last long and it seems to jump around. Left forearm, right bicep, calf muscles...

I know this is a male forum, but I was hoping to maybe get the input of Chris or some others with some good knowledge. We are getting me straightened out and I finally convinced my lady to get a full work up because she has fibro, can't function, can't sleep, can't wake up til noon, etc. Her...

I catch little glimpses of folks saying there are some clear benefits to topical daily so I wanted to see thoughts. Ignoring the things like transference or convenience and focusing on strictly HOW YOU FEEL , what do you think wins out? Personally I don't feel great on injections. Perhaps I...

My doctor has had me on L Carnitine for the past few weeks and I have gained 10 pounds and felt sluggish. I didn't make the potential connection until a moderator on a thyroid board said not to take L Carnitine if you are hypo and use it cautiously if normal, but it is good if hyperthyroid...

So, the 5mg daily works great. Maybe too well. Stiffy when the wind blows. So here is the dilemma. My lady decided we are going to get a couples massage tomorrow. I'm not sure it will go over too well if she looks over and sees me pitching a tent lol. So just rub one out before I go you...

I have been putting things sporadically in other threads so I figured I would start a blood thread here to keep things consolidated. Also plan to update as I go along. These labs on just Clomid and nolva but have gone back to t injections TT 364 (348-1197) FT 9.9 (6.8-21.5) DHEA-s 419...

Anyone have painfully cold toes while on TRT? I had it before, but it faded after I tapered and attempted a restart, but I seen to notice it again now that I am back on. Any thoughts on what could be causing it?

I don't mean in a lazyboy recliner....I mean at what T level. For instance, when I was on 100mg per week my TT was in the 800s, but I felt better, had more libido, and was less greasy on 60mg per week with TT around 550. I'm curious as to why that is but perhaps we all need different amounts...

I have used T cyp and T enan, which have different preservatives and oils. I have injected smaller amounts more frequently. I have been careful to not pinch the injection site. I have applied pressure and gently rubbed it. Etc. So does anyone have any ideas as to why I get red, itching...

http://www.zrtlab.com/blog/entry/testosterone-elixir-or-dangerous-drug Has anyone read this from ZRT labs? In essence they state that creams are absorbed closer to 100% and most dosages are supraphysioligical. Problem is transdermal blood levels don't reflect in venous levels, but do in...

Nelson, I just read an excerpt from your book in one of your stickies. Specifically, the following sections regarding reasons for low T: 1. The hypothalamus is not functioning properly. LH levels of less than 2 ng/mL suggest a lesion in this part of the HPGA. . 2. Dehydroepiandrosterone...

Anyone have pointers for this? Cialis seems to take four or five hours to work for me, and even at 5mg my ears feel like they are on fire and as red as a firetruck. Is this normal or is there a simple trick to preevent the red ears. Thanks folks

If anyone uses or has pointers, please share. I have cialis suspended in a thick oily mixture but it settles and sticks to the bottom. Shaking it does nothing. I have to warm it up daily and then shake for a few minutes. It is a pain in the rear for a daily dose. Does anyone have pointers...

SERM Question for those that might know and hopefully this is the right area... Just got back from Urgent Care because of dizziness, shaking, shortness breath, hot flashes and sweating, crazy mood changes, intense transient head pressure. They found my potassium is a little low, my DHEA-s is...

This won't be a simple thing, but one of the reasons I initially went on TRT was to get some swagger as my kids say. And I don't mean cockiness, I mean confidence, decreased anxiety and depression, that little nudge that tells you you can conquer the world. Well, for me TRT was not that magic...

Sensitive Estradiol Blood Test: The Only Accurate Assay for Men I see everyone here reference only using the ultrasensitive test, but many others have said it is not a good test. I am just curious as to why the thought is different here. Below is a clip from Life Extension blood tests...
