I know some people get dark spots but I actually got white spots. I had only used it at a very low dose for a couple of weeks every few days. I am a big believer that sun exposure in general is important for good health so I like to have a bit of a tan to hopefully help protect my skin, but I...

No, for sexual function MT2 is supposedly much better. I prefer to avoid the tanning affects as I get very dark as it is and it gave me an unnatural tan with uneven spots on my skin which have never completely resolved, so I use MT2 in the winter and PT-141 in the summer, although PT-141 also...

This raises a good point which is that people who want to try this class of drug should probably start with MT2 unless they are required to be in the sun a lot, in which case it is too strong of a tanning agent and can produce skin issues which don't necessarily resolve. Of the people who have...

I'll be very interested in your symptom results since I also have very low e2. What symptoms are you having?

This should be interesting. Ostarine would be another option for formally available anabolics and it will be interesting to see how suppressive it is in this study.

Sardines are very healthy for a variety of reasons. That does not mean red meat is suddenly an issue.

I think the benefits of DHEA largely come from its metabolites, so personally I wouldn't rely on a blood test. It also occurred to me that many women report a libido boost from a low dose (like 3mg) of oxandrolone, but it can also cause crankyness, so that would be another item for a better...

Not necessarily insane, but I have found thru experimentation that higher single doses are less effective for me, so I wouldn't assume that more is always better. For example ( and this is purely speculation as a thought experiment) the body has feedback loops to regulate many things, so if you...

My immediate reaction is that stress/nightwork is such a libido killer, likely due to the cortisol/adrenalin/circadian disruption that almost nothing is likely to over-ride that. I have heard of women getting benefit from DHEA and PT-141, in addition to T, however only when there are no major...

For me, I got a racing heartbeat at night when I first started taking it, so I take it first thing in the morning so that it is hopefully out of my system at night and won't disrupt my sleep. I assume that what my body makes is doing the job at night.

I've heard multiple doctors report ( I think Dr Gundry was one of them) that they have seen people here in the US who cannot tolerate what products who then go to Europe (Italy specifically I think) and eat wheat products with no problem, so that may be an important clue for you that something...

That is similar to my dose, although I have used DHEA and HCG or clomid along with it. I have a theory that the lower dose hakes the other compounds more effective as well. I have never used an AI. You can always up your dose a little if needed but better to start low.

What were you expecting to feel? If you are getting brief spikes of absorption the lack of feeling side effects may be progress for you. There is another poster on here who IIRC did almost his exact thing and he got good results with it, but I haven't seen him post in a year or so. If you search...

This below is one of his videos where he mentions clomid. In general he thinks having zero LH for long periods is a bad idea, if I understand him correctly. I just listened to Mike Mahler's latest interview with Dr. Mark Gordon and he said that Ibuprofen can damage the leydig cell in the...

Very glad to hear you're having good results but I'm not sure why you would want to increase the dose. Keep in mind Vyleesi was tested on and approved for women, so there could be a lot of differences there. Also, risking de-sensitization seems like a poor risk/reward trade-off since it's...

It sounds like you have some sort of (possibly genetic) anomaly going on. You sound like an ideal candidate for a paid consultation with Chris Masterjohn who specializes in exactly that sort of thing ( chrismasterjohnphd.com ) and dealt with some similar issues himself. He is one of the true...

Some ideas...there are apparently some types of low-level infections that use the Vitamin D receptor to enter the cell, and increasing Vitamin D levels will make things worse in those people because the infection "rides" on the Vitamin D. Dr. Michael Ruscio did a podcast episode on this topic...

My example of Oxandrolone was to point out that some of us on here seem to do better at lower T levels but also benefit from some more specific compounds. For example many of us benefit from the joint/injury tonic that the nandrolone family of compounds provides. Dixiewrecked mentioned proviron...

A few things.. - I would drop your dose before I would raise it. Some of us do better on lower doses. - I find DHEA to be helpful and it is cheap and easy to experiment with - HIIT and chronic lifting to failure can create systemic overtraining. I would drop the HIIT for a while (try walking...

I'll be very interested to see the results people get from this. If I was starting down the TRT path again this is what I would want to start with, but likely with a low dose (e.g. 10mg a few times a week) of something like Oxandrolone added in. It would be interesting to see the degree of...

If your question is why you aren't losing weight, there could be many reasons, such as you may be gaining muscle, you may be retaining water, you may be eating more to compensate for the workload, your body may be defending a bodyfat set point...any number of reasons. If you want to lose fat...

He cites a study around the 1 hour mark which is how the issue came to his attention. A quick search I did suggested that ibuprofen is indeed associated with lower T levels, although a lot of variables would be in play, but it is worth being aware of. The clomid approach is based on his clinical...

I just listened to Mike Mahler's latest interview with Dr. Mark Gordon and he said that Ibuprofen can damage the leydig cell in the testes, so the approaches above may depend on whether someone has this issue. He uses high amounts of clomid (starting at 50 MG and gradually lowering the dose) to...

whew, that's a relief. When I first read the title of this thread I thought there was some scenario where one could get priapism damage in 20 minutes...

I use 5mg and initially I got terrible low back pain, but it went away after a week or so , so perhaps your headaches will diminish as well. Good luck with it.

Partially. The testes are considered part of the HPTA and it does not shut those down, so it is not correct to say that the shutdown is complete or equivalent to the shutdown from T alone.

It shuts down LH production but it does not shut down (and may improve ) T production.

AFAIK en AFAIK enclomiphene is still available but perhaps it was withdrawn. I haven't been following that topic. It doesn't sound like it is worth the risk for you, however even so, HCG would be less suppressive by far than T.

Recovering from HCG should in theory be easier than recovering from Test Cyp since Test shuts down LH and T production whereas HCG only shuts down LH production. A low dose of clomid or enclomiphene might speed the LH recovery and reduce T shutdown by shortening the time during which your LH...

Congratulations on your lifting progress! Any number of things could be going on with your knee but I have found that stretching (which seems to settle the knee-cap), gait and form are the first places to look for a resolution, along with DMSO. A knees-over-toes stretch helped my knees a lot, as...

More important than the sports performance aspect is the injury recovery aspect IMO. If this concept can get BPC, GH, TB 500 etc. out into the public eye, that would be a huge service to humanity.
