Been a while since posting. I have just about given up on trt. I could drink it and it would not work. Numbers increase but no benefits at all. I think my last endo appt I figured out something. Along with studying. But please correct me if I am off. I am no text book case. I have no...

I got new blood work in today. Waiting to here what dr says, but just how does low shbg indicate and how does it effect you? I have always had trouble with feeling my best despite trt, but I have several health issues. My result was 8.9, range was 10-57 nmol/ml. Also, cant get my dhea up...

Hello all. after taking the shots for several years, and having to come off last summer because of stupid doctors during a months longs hospital stay, I decided when I started trt again, to try the 20 percent compounded cream. I began to really feel like I was on trt. My hair went back to...

I have been doing some reading. Seems to me that some are testing for free t, total t, and bioavailable t. I thought free t was the bioavailable. Am I wrong? I have several issues holding me back, e2 is low, prolactin is on higher end, igf was high, now in range but upper end, hgh is high, dht...

The dr tested my igf 1 levels to see if I had enough growth hormone. Which I doubt I do on account of no pituitary gland. I was sure the igf would show low, but it was high. Wonder what my next move should be?

I searched but nothing came up. I take insulin. Long acting, once a day. Can I mix HCG in the syringe with it?

Hello all, been a while. I nearly died due to three huge tumors in my leg with staph in them and they had leaked into my blood. Thank God. They are out now and I am trying to get back to normal. Back on all of my hormones, test, hcg, thyroid, cortisol, and want to have my growth hormone checked...

Hey all, I found out friday my kidneys are in bad shape. I have fanconi syndrome. Basically, I piss all of my minerals out. I have not had a chance to speak to my trt dr. Today is shot day, injust wonder how this effects trt. With adrenal insufficiency, diabetic, this cannot be good.

Hello all. I mentioned on here a few weeks back that I had empty sella syndrome. I have been on trt for nearly three years with little benefit and no libido, no energy etc. I read a lot here and elsewhere about guys having the same issues. Let me urge you to have an MRI of the brain done...

Due to some migraines I started having a few months back and them getting more frequent, my dr had me do an MRI . Well, since we never determined why my t was low and I have no insurance, I told the dr I wanted everything looked at ESP pituitary so I got my money's worth. Only thing of note was...

Ok folks, here is the deal. I have had low t since 22. I started treatment almost 2 years ago, I am 35 now. I have gotten some benefits like fat loss, better cholesterol numbers, and no night sweats, but other than that not one thing. My libido is shot, low energy, just feel terrible. I had...

I always suspected I had it. Dr. Conformed and third night tonight on cpap. I have been on trt for 2 years with some good effects, some bad. I am wondering how sleep apnea therapy will effect my trt. My drs are worthless. So I should of had sleep study long ago to rule it out as I read it can...

I read that in other countries, masteron is used for dht. Why not here, besides legalities? Wondering if a man such as myself who aromatizes terribly and is very sensitive to the effects of it, might be better off on masteron? I am no expert, but I have found no experts who can explain my...

Hey,mgot my a1c checked, it was like 2 points over the top of the range. I have a good low carb diet, not much sugar, diabetes is rampant in the my family. So I am concerned. Should I be? If eat anything with many carbs in it, it is like taking a sleeping pill. Ideas? Thanks! Level was 5.8

I have orders from my dr to get my estradiol tested. I am taking a 1 mg pill a day, and sub q shots every 3 days. When in this period is best to test? I searched but could not one up with the answer thanks!

I am looking into other drugs to inhibit aromatization. Most of what I find online is from aas forums. Has anybody here had luck, or tried anything other than arimidex? It seems to be the gold standard. I am up to 1 mg a day to keep symptoms of high e2 away and I am feeling very good. But I...

Trying to get my e2 levels dialed in. I must have done something that worked, my libido came back some, and erections like I have never had. Just not able to cum. I have read that some meds cause some men to make more estrogen than others, requiring more arimidex. I cannot find a list but got to...

Alright, since creams did not help bring libido up, I am on test c with dhea every three days. So basically if I remember right, the 10 ml vial will last ten weeks. So you get 200 mgs of t a week. I am having a brain fart, help me out. If I am figuring right, I took the first shot of 33.3 ius on...

Been doing some reading. Seems like clomid stimulates both lh and fsh production in men. Hcg only stimulates Lh. Am I wrong in thinking clomid may be a better alternative to some men than hcg when added to trt? My dr suggested a drug that is too expensive for me to stimulate fsh production...

Seems I read more everyday about another man who is on trt yet has low or no libido, or like me, had fair libido with low t but now have good levels and libido is gone. I started this so others can chime in, explain what worked if anything etc. So let er rip.

The dr said today my dhea s is still to low. I read somewhere micronized dhea is better, I brought it up and was told there was nothing special about it. I also read transdermal dhea is good. What has worked best for everybody here. Level was 157, range I think was 130 to 430.

I appreciate all of the hard work done to set up this site. Way better than Facebook. I order a lot of stuff business wise on amazon and want to support the site through them. So, all I need to do, is anytime I need to order off amazon, is use the link provided, and the site will get some funds...

Just got some of my labs back. Have not talked to Dr yet, but the prolactin was at 14.8 the ref range was 5 to 15.2. Sounds high to me. I was fasting at the time. Could this be why lubido is off, test and was good, e level was 1 point high. Any ideas?

I know Dr. Crisler says gels are better. When he talks I listen. So when ordering from defy today, I switched from 10 percent cream to 10 percent gel. I looked but may have missed it, just how much more t on average is absorbed with a gel vs a cream?

So glad to see this is finally up and running. Looks like a lot of hard work has been done. I hope I can learn and contribute as we go forward.
