I completely agree with you. I have yet to meet a doc or fertility specialist that understands that it’s possible to stay on TRT. Note that many of them have financial incentives not to, particularly if a tese or micro-tese surgery is involved for low sperm counts. Surgeries pay well and are...

Same as my extensive research on it showed. Last fertility specialist I went to said I had to go off testosterone because otherwise my body won’t oroduce LH and FSH. I said, what about if I take HCG and FSH? He said no, the brain is smarter than that, it won’t work. That the brain needs to make...

HCG skyrocketed my estrogen, and I got hot flashes like you did.

It’s because your body shuts off LH and FSH, and the more androgenic the steroid, the harder to recover. There’s a chance with each shutoff that your body won’t recover normal levels.

HCG acts like LH mostly, and some as FSH. HMG, half LH half FSH, would be most effective? But is prohibitively expensive compared to HCG and FSH.

The lower your SHBG, the better you may feel with more frequent injections. Mine is 14.

Compared to herbal supplements, sarms definitely have side effects. Compared to steroids, the side effects are purported to be practically nil. Majority of casual users are likely in the dietary supplement category.

Who was your seller? If it’s proven peptides, I know several people that have received prohormones in their sarms from them, usually after a few orders. From this, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4111291/ Testosterone, SHBG, HDL, and triglycerides dose-dependent decrease...

Beware of sellers who advertise openly online. Many will underdose, full in with prohormones, or give you Ostarine instead of lgd4033

The cancer issue is if you take 60x the recommended dose for several years. The rats, who are prone to cancer anyway, were fed 100x the dose, and for 2 yrs of their 3 year lifespan.

Sounds like you had a unethical seller who gave you prohormones instead. There are a lot of fakes out there cashing in on it. Lgd4033 should have little to no effect on lipids but reduce natural testosterone after 8 weeks, so being on TRT is beneficial.

$140 for 3ml? Wow.

A couple times. I simply said no, I like being a functional human being, I’ll just donate blood.

DHT is directly correlated with libido.

HCG increases estrogen receptor sensitivity over time, so estrogen in your body becomes more potent over time unless you cycle off. The higher amounts you blast, the faster this effect will occur.

I don’t take an AI. My TRT is 200mg/wk. my estrogen is 20-25 as long as I stay well hydrated (excess converted estrogen is peed out), closer to 40 if dehydrated, and I get swollen painful joints above 30.

Yes, this is one of the sites I read. A good read.

Now if my elevated glucose levels were due to too much sugar in the diet over time, rather than a preference for ketones, than that would not be benign, but dangerous.

I’ve read it’s different for keto, primarily because insulin levels are low and glucose intake very low. With low glucose intake, glucose in the blood is driven on demand instead of supply and insulin doesn’t spike to remove excess glucose (demand driven meaning no excess). The term is called...

I’m in keto, and my blood sugar when I wake up is 115, and down to 85 in the evening.

Steroids, especially high testosterone, will often reduce SHBG. If used over an extended period of time, the body will adapt to the higher levels. I’m assuming this is possibly why your SHBG levels have stayed low.

The issue with high T is increased estrogen and reduced HDL, high DHT. You should get your blood levels checked for testosterone, estrogen, and prolactin.

Ideal estrogen levels vary person to person. Mine is optimal 15-25, and 1200<T<1600 (200mg/week) is optimal through trial and error. Above 1600 increases my libido and thinking speed in reducing increments, but high (for me) estrogen becomes an issue at that point too.

I bet your prolactin levels are above normal. That can kill libido. The problem with high T is managing estrodial and prolactin.

It’s not bro science, it does cause less estrogen, but it’s definitely not convenient, especially for long term TRT unless you are sensitive. A lot of things when it comes to the body isn’t a straightforward shoot. It may seem counter intuitive, but those who’ve tried it have seen a difference...

Shorter esters are in your system for less time so less is converted to estrogen. If you take Aveed (undeconate), estrogen activity will likely be higher than cypionate. It hasn’t been formally studied. It’s anecdotal experience (usually bodybuilders). In the US cypionate is the most common form...

Testestosterone propionate has reduced estrogen conversion than cypionate, but you need to inject it every 1-2 days, preferably every day.

I suffered at blood levels of 500-600 ng/dL. My low T symptoms didn’t go away till my total T was 1200+. My SHBG is 14, so I have to inject often, and take 200mg/week. But I’ve found out recently that my thyroid is underperforming and that my body has difficulty converting b12 into its active...

When I moved, I had to visit multiple doctors because they said I look like I lift weights regularly and it wouldn’t be ethical to give TRT to a guy that looks like he lifts weights regularly so the decision was to take me off TRT completely for 30 days then start over at half my normal dose...

High amounts of natural vitamin E reduced my prolactin and estrogen levels, and reduced my prostate size. I took 3000 IU/day for about a month, 2000 IU/day for the second month. It dropped my prolactin from 18 to 4 in the first month, then down to i don’t care anymore during the second month.
