Hi Vince!
Thanks for your input - its nice to discuss this with someone.
I no longer use AI at all - zero! For some time i used it very moderately (0,25mg twice a week), but I no longer do that.
Hi,
In may I did blood tests. Results below. (I live in Norway by the way - so that is the reason if you consider the measures unusual).
I do not have significant libido or strong erections. What could be the cause? Aprreciate input!
B-Hemoglobin: 15.1 (13.5-16.5)
B-EVF: 0.46 (0.41-0.51)...
Hi again and thanks for feedback! Good insights - cool!
@Nashtide: what do you consider the minimum effective dose of HCG? I like to include hcg with testosterone because I feel much better, and without it my testicles shrink big time (not serious issue, but I do not like it either). Also, I...
Hi,
Regarding the use of low doses of both HCG and Arimidex while on TRT - and long term effects.
- Should you take breaks from HCG use or should it be used continually like testosterone? Is the issue of the Leydig cell becoimng de-sensitized an issue when using a low dose (ie 500 IUs twice a...
Thanks for the reply..... I will look at this and make some suggestions to the doctor. Perhaps this is all basic stuff to measure at a US clinic, but as I mentioned - TRT is a bit in the dark ages here.... As far as I know, Estradiol sensitive is very rarely measured in TRT in men in any...
Well, you might be right, ..... I guess I assumed that what should be measured in a basic blood test for TRT purposes are more or less the same regardless of my protocol and past blood work?
I did not include past blood work because the proper tests are now so old that I think they are...
Hi,
I live in Norway and TRT is in the dark ages here (due to "hormone-phobia" etc). Its a challenge to find a good doctor and proper help.
Anyway, I recently changed my doctor because the previous one retired.
I do not feel as good as I had hoped on my protocol now. My libido is low. What...
Even though this is the recommended dose, would it be possible/desireable to split this dose into weekly injections? For example 0,3 ml Aveed/Nebido pr. week?
Personally I have done both. And I must say I do prefer a weekly injection with a small needle in the shoulder. The 4 ML injection of...
Hi Goga,
Yes, you are right! Sorry about that - this medical jargon is confusing!
@ Tommy. Yes I like that video and I really do hope to get a protocol like that. But there seems to be a different philosophy regarding TRT in Europe vs. the US. I think testosterone (enanthate or cypionate) and...
@ Tommy - I will look into that video later. I am still at work now. Yes, well I had hoped to use cypionate or enanthate, but I am not sure that is possible. That is what I mean by hormone-phobia. Doctors here seem to equate cypionate and enanthate with abuse of anabolic steroids (black and...
Hey Tommy,
I am open to injecting twice a week for sure. Can you list Nelson's protocol? Or add a link?
The new guy I am seeing is an endo. I will need to get a letter from my regular doctor to see him. The whole TRT business here in Norway is kinda crazy. Most doctors here have hormone-phobia...
Hi,
Just a quick update here. I am currently reducing my AI a bit. I do 0,25 mg a week. I still do not feel right. I will have to do new bloodwork after the summer to find what the right way forward is.
Other than this I recently visited a new doctor, since my current Endo is getting retired...
Yes, well - I think I might start with lowering the AI dose. Just to keep other variables constant, to see how that goes. Good info for sure. I had heard about the standart test vs the sensitive test, but had sort of forgotten about it.
Scott,
Since I had lumps under my left nipple, I first tried to resolve that with Nolvadex for a while. After many weeks, and no improvement, I then started 0,5 mg arimidex a week. I was a bit worried about the whole gyno issue, and getting a bit desperate, but at the same time I wanted to avoid...
Hey,
Thanks a lot for feedback!
@Madman - you might be right. I am not sure, but this is probably the standard test. I have not discussed this issue with my doctor. I think I will in the future, because it seems I might need to change clinic. I used Arimidex because I had symptoms of high E and...
Hi,
I am in Norway and have been on Nebido for about 1 year now. I take a weekly injection of about 125 mg a week and Arimidex 0,25mg twice a week.
I have not been feeling as good as I had hoped. I asked my doctor, Dr. Purvis, if I could try another type of testosterone instead (Enanthate or...
Hi there!
I started TRT with NEBIDO in July 2016. I live in Norway, and Nebido seems to be the preferred method here. There has been many challenges for me the last 6-7 months with fine-tuning my protocol, I hope things will be better for me in the coming months.
Let me give you some a brief...
Hi,
Do you mean have the full dose (1000 nebido 4ml vial) every 6 weeks? Or do you mean to suggest he splits his dose into 500 nebido 2 ml shots every 6 weeks.
Thanks for clarification. I also use nebido, and I am not happy with it.... I struggle to find a good protocol with this... Its a...
