I have had multiple lab tests done since TRT became a word I'm familiar with. We all have here, and sometimes we get a lab result that just doesn't make any sense, and sometimes that can lead to a lot of confusion when there are multiple variables that we're trying to figure out the validity of...

24 hours after injection 48 hours after injection 72 hours after injection 60mg test cyp E3D 400 IU hCG E3D No AI.

I'm curious what they looked like, and if you thought it was worth it or not. I was thinking of doing total, free, and sensitive E2 on my E3D protocol. No reason, just curiosity, and a bit of science. Science is good, eh?

SHBG is mentioned a LOT on this forum, and often many men are unhappy with their levels. Very few comments regarding SHBG are positive in nature, in fact SHBG is seen as a problem by many, and in the steroid community it is seen as something that needs to be lowered otherwise it'll "steal" all...

that estrogen is what is responsible for male brain development. Something that has bugged me for a while is Dr Saya's case study, how could it be possible that giving exogenous estradiol could increase testosterone levels...

This is an area I am currently researching in pursuit of understanding the vast complexities involving what specifically shuts the HPTA down. This is an interesting study that I found that basically goes against everything I've seen. TP = testosterone pellets TP AZ = testosterone pellets +...

60mg E3D 400 IU hCG E3D. I started TRT in may. So all of these are steady state and there have been no changes to my protocol at all. I have no symptoms to speak of. I got these done out of curiosity and boredom. I've had low E2 before, and I have none of that. Wtf labcorp? Hopefully I get the...

Here is a study showing the correlation of overestimation of E2 by immunoassay with C reactive protein levels Source: http://press.endocrine.org/doi/figure/10.1210/jc.2012-3861 Further evidence of the immunoassay and it's inaccuracy Source...

From my understanding that dopamine plays a huge role in libido, for example any D2/D3 agonists like parkinson's drugs are known to possibly cause hypersexuality. Amphetamines especially AFAIK, is it possible that long term medical use of amphetamines can cause enough downregulation to...

Protocol: test 60mg E3D HCG 400IU E3D no AI or anything else. I've been on TRT about 5 months now. Donated blood back in august just after the labs labelled "august". I just realized the way these posted on here makes it really hard to read. August http://imgur.com/KaVRvSM...

I've seen a few numbers thrown around. From "0.2%" to "0.3%", now does that mean a fraction of a percent or does it mean 1/3rd of all test is converted to E2? The conversion rate of testosterone to estradiol is around 0.2%. Up to 80% of plasma estradiol originates from aromatization of...

I asked Dr. saya permission of course, he said he would probably comment here if anything was lost in translation. I took notes, so it is possible I made a mistake. I asked mostly general questions not really about myself and my case, more about TRT and the endocrine system in general. Let me...

This was done 36 hours after every 3 day injection of 60mg testosterone. I take 500 IU hcg every 3.5 days. I should have done the lab work 60 hours after injection, but I made a mistake with the days. This was fasted. Also after about 2-3 bottles of water. I was pretty damn dehydrated that...

On 5/20 I had a hematocrit of 44 39-51 range, and a change in protocol on 5/23. I increased to 140mg per week, 60mg every 3 days. Along with the addition of HCG 500 IU twice per week, so total of 1000 IU of HCG per week. I had a CBC on 6/29, showing an increase of hematocrit to 48.9 38.5-50...

I know there's another thread I made, so please let me know if I am making too many new threads! I was fully shut down before starting this protocol on 5/23/16. 60mg every 3 days, hcg 500 IU twice a week. I was on gels before that for about 2 months, and was fully shutdown, so none of my...

I've been on TRT for 3 months, first couple months I was on a crap protocol with gels. I started with defy about 5 weeks ago. Defy said they'd do follow up labs in 3 months, I am way too impatient for that! I ordered a CBC and lipids. I did the lipids and cbc early, and mostly fasted. Just had...

I'm pretty lean, not like athletic, but one of those naturally thin guys. I've been having a little bit of pain with deltoid injections, but not really sure of where else to use because I like using 27g 1/2 inch syringes because there's no dead space. I know that with 2x a week injections, that...

I've been using nelson's method of injecting in deltoids, and I'm wondering how much pain is normal. Generally when I inject, I go three fingers below the acromion process which is about 2 inches. I always have trouble when placing the needle on the skin, prior to pushing it in, because I will...

I'm prescribed 70mg e3.5 days, but I have problems with mornings so injecting in the morning would be difficult for me. I take medication that makes my hands shake a little bit, so it's probably best that I inject later in the day. So I did the math, and if I did 70mg every monday and thursday...

There are a lot of hormones that are involved in testosterone synthesis, pregnenolone. androstenidone, progesterone. I have never seen anyone on here post those results, if they are so important why don't any of the leading doctors test them? Also I've never seen estrone or estriol tested, I...
