Great read! My experiences mirror the article. Thanks for sharing!

I have an SHBG that floats around 30 and still feel benefit from EOD injections. Maybe just in the head... who knows. But I do know, with labs to support it, 100mg T a week, split to every other day injections will show higher TT levels than 100mg via one or two shots a week. I remember a Dr...

I can't even look at at 23g without cringing. Its way too big, and way too long, to go into stomach. 1/2 28-31g is prime time, for me. I've stuck with 29.

I have read Dr. Crisler has since changed his method a bit, and is onboard with the smaller syringes. And as of the last time I saw him talk about it, he likes going into the "fat pad above the glutes". I still use his old method, but with a 29g, into the abdomen.

Post injection pain.

Not always. I was on Nolva/Tamoxifen a long long time and never experienced eye issues. In terms of a SERM for restarts, those are the kings. Raloxifene has a similar mechanism, but is less effective for restarting production, and potentially more effective at gyno reduction.

Gyno removal.

I saw someone who specialized in gyno - Dr. John Crisler. I still have far more nip sensitivity than the normal guy, but, the ridiculous amounts of excess tissue are gone. About 6 months after the procedure, I tried HCG at 50iu EOD for a while and it worked without aggravating anything...

What if this is true, and HCG can actually cause gyno despite E2, prolactin, and progesterone all under control? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15292356

Sub-q. I am not 100% clear on what you mean in your last point. Seems like you are saying it doesn't really matter either way. EOD 25mg would be 100mg the first week, but only 75mg the second, total 175. EOD 28mg would be 112 the first week, 84 the second, total 198.

Hey fellas, If you were instructed to take 100mg a week, utilizing EOD injection schedule, how would you do it? For what its worth, I am still dialing things in, so its not like I know that 100mg is the absolute dose I must hit every 7 days or I will dip under some number of total T. Just want...

Appreciate the links! Bit tough for me to understand, but makes some sense. Further, I saw in Crislers Expert TRT slides that Nolva can "increase progesterone receptor density". Hopefully this is the cause of my burning nipples. Thanks! Jim

The slides are an AMAZING read. Thanks a ton for posting them. Its great that Dr. Crisler actually documents his protocols, methods, beliefs. Not only does he do so much for the men he treats, but he betters the entire TRT community with this information. Thanks! Jim

Hey fellas, Somewhat playing on my other thread regarding HGC and gyno... is there any truth to the internet lore that taking Nolvadex/SERMs long term can up-regulate the body's sensitivity to progesterone? I was on low dose Nolva for the better part of three years. Could the HCG and I am now...

Chris, I tried a dose of Nolva for a few weeks when it first kicked up with no relief. This is different than just some slightly itchy nipples. Its an all consuming feeling/sensation in the chest. I have had small sensation come and go many time, but this is brutal. Further, when I moved to...

Gene, Much appreciated. I hadn't heard that even the increase in T can cause nipple issues that just subside over time. I have had itchy/sensitive nipples for years, but I have been on a testosterone roller coaster trying to restart. Some readings were as low as 300 during the restart, while...

Hey fellas, First off - been reading here for quite some time and love the forums. The information and contributions made here are invaluable. I was recently started on TRT due to hormone issues I've battled for approximately 10 years. Long story short, I've tried 3-4 Clomid and/or Nolva...
