Just curious, what else are you taking besides the cream? Thanks

Question for those using daily injections of testosterone cypionate: I know there’s going to be very little variation in blood levels on a daily injection protocol. I’m curious though about the peak on a daily protocol. Would it be 12 hours post injection? If so, I could possibly see a small...

Anyone using testosterone cream daily applied to the scrotum as their primary delivery method for TRT? Can you share some details such as dosage amount and how you are feeling including mood, libido, and energy? Also, are there any negative sides you are experiencing? Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I know and understand that we are all biochemically unique. For some, it appears that once weekly possibly yields greater dht levels, or at least a greater dht spike that can be perceived and felt. I also think their could also be an androgen and dopamine receptor issue...

Once weekly, twice weekly, and daily injection protocols....Which of these injection schedules do you think yields the highest DHT levels? Thanks

SHBG is talked about a lot as a good predictor of how fast one clears testosterone out of their body. Low SHBG frequently necessitates the need for more frequent injections per week. Do factors such as EGFR and hypothyroidism also factor into how fast an individual processes testosterone? On the...

I know this is going against the grain a bit, but I’m curious. Is there anyone out there who has tried both once weekly injections as well as multiple smaller injections per week and felt better on once weekly injections? If you have tried both and like once weekly better, can you explain why...

For those that are also on thyroid medication, can you describe your journey in getting your thyroid levels optimized including type of medication, dosage, pitfalls or mistakes you made along the way, and the noticeable positive impact thyroid meds have had on your life? Thanks

For someone not on TRT, does pregnenolone supplementation have any effect on the HPA axis? I’ve been off of TRT for over 6 months and was thinking about trying low dose pregnenolone(10 mg once or twice daily). I’m curious if anyone has any insight on whether pregnenolone would have any effect on...

Thanks guys for the feedback.

I have been taking creatine for a few months now. I recently got back some labs that are a little concerning. GFR: 48.9 (>60.0) Creatinine: 1.6 (0.7-1.3) My past GFR’s have normally ranged between 70-90. Should I stop taking the creatine? Thanks

I’m currently injecting 20mg shallow IM with backfilled 29-30G syringes. I’m going to stick to backfilling a week’s supply at a time based on this thread. Thanks for all of the feedback.

I like to backfill because the needle goes in like butter. You can’t feel a thing. Maybe there compromise is to maybe just do 4 at a time. I’m injecting daily so that wouldn’t be too long.

This question is for the guys who backfill syringes. How many do you normally backfill at one time? Do you think there’s any concern with the testosterone oil interacting with or eating away at the rubber stopper? Thanks

I know many times testosterone is not the only hormone we are deficient in. For those of you with thyroid issues, is anyone taking a specifically compounded T4/T3 thyroid med other than NDT? I’ve noticed Empower Pharmacy offers specifically compounded ratios of T4/T3. I’m currently taking...

I am always on the bottom end of the normal range for DHT and was wondering if injecting once per week instead of twice would raise DHT any.

Do more frequent injections lead to lower DHT blood levels?

Voices, can you explain your injection process including sites you inject, subq vs im, and gauge needle? Thanks

Empower Pharmacy has a new 160/40 cyp/prop blend. Is anyone using this form of testosterone blend? If you are, how do you feel? Also, is anyone else using just propionate? I’d be interested to see anyone’s experiences using either of these formulations. Thanks

Thanks for the info

I’m curious as to how TRT affects lipid values. Has anyone had any experience with HDL and LDL values being affected positively or negatively after being on TRT for a while? Thanks

It’s interesting that you put the cream on before bed at night. Most guys I’ve seen apply in the morning after showering. Thanks for your input.

I’m currently injecting daily with HCG every other day. I’ve been following your story, and it’s peaked my interest in cream. So, I think I understand that you are shaving your underarms and your scrotum. You are applying mainly to the scrotum, but alternating some to your underarms. Did you say...

Tim L, if you don’t mind me asking, can you give some details as to how you apply the cream? What sites on your body do you use to apply the cream? How do you do it? Are there any specific methods as to how you apply the cream that have lead to your success? Thanks so much for the info!

This is an inspiring story. This is a great plug for the quality products that Empower makes as well as the potential that cream has if you find the right source and strength. I would be interested to hear the application sites Tim L uses for his therapy.

Riverside, thanks so much for your openness about your successful protocol. 2 more questions if I may...What size needle are you using? Also, what perceived differences did you notice in switching from cypionate to propionate? Thanks again!

Riverside, I just started injecting daily and using the one click cream to scrotum. My question is about your injection sites. I’ve read propionate can leave some serious post injection pain. What sites are you using to inject? Thanks

How much testosterone are you injecting daily? Are you using HCG? Thanks

I googled vasovagal reaction. That doesn’t sound like what I’m dealing with. I have zero fear of needles. I wonder if it is somehow tied to estrogen, thyroid, or even something in the T oil? Who knows. I’ve been dealing with it for some time now. It is what it is.

Anyone else experience cold hands/feet and brain fog the first few hours post injection? I’ve always experienced this phenomenon no matter what dose I’m injecting. I’m currently injecting 14mg shallow IM daily and taking 2 grains of natural desiccated thyroid. Who knows why. I’m just curious if...
