VINCE, were you on an EOD protocol before switching to Daily ? what benefits are you seeing from this ? was the change made mainly due to the Hct range ? are you following an IM or subQ approach ? finally, are you also using anastazole? if Yes, how would you incorporate it with a daily routine ...
Thank you for the replies Guys. I am currently on an EOD protocol as well, moved from Twice/week injection to 3X week and now been on EOD for the past 3-4 month. It's been a hit and miss lately, even without making any changes in the protocol, I would feel great one day and like shit the other...
Hey TRT fellows,
I’m still struggling to get the best out of my trt journey and have a question that I can’t seem to find a definitive answer for:
Is a SHBG of 24.2 nmol/L considered low ? And Would u go with an ED or EOD protocol with a SHBG level similar to mine ?
Thank you
Thank you everyone for the reply.
Just to clarify few things, I was on trt for a year and couldn’t get dialed in . I got really good at knowing when my e2 is out of balance (high or low) I crashed e2 couple times and had moments of high e2 as well. I had bloodwork to back up my findings. I came...
I crashed e2 really bad on .125mg , that was before i figured i was an over responder.
.01mg twice a week does not crash my e2 but i get the low e2 symptoms ( cracking and painful joints, a bit of a depression ) my erections gets really strong for a day or 2 and my but then i start losing the...
Hello everyone, so i am having issues with HCG. No matter how low i go ( as low as 100 iu) my e2 starts ramping up. I am also super hypersensitive to arimidex and taking as low as 0.01mg (not a typo) brings my e2 too low. When i get off hcg, i start feeling the true benefits of trt. however my...
Your SHBG is on the low side, you will most probably benefit from an EOD protocol. Try injecting your Test SQ as it eases the peaks and not only u will have a stable Test level but also you may no longer need an AI.
Allow at least 4 weeks before you make another change, it takes time for the...
I’m not saying that you are (only blood work will confirm) but some people (including myself) over respond to AIs . 0.125mg would crash my E2 even though it is such a tiny dose . I’d stay on the same protocol for couple weeks and get blood work done.
I personally now dissolve my .125mg in 10...
oh wow, I had no clue my thyroid levels are this messed up, I was under the impression that as long as my TSH is below 2.5 I should be fine :/ Would any of the over the counter thyroid support supplement be worth trying ? thanks a lot man, this is a very usefull feedback..I do really appreciate it!
I started with test cypionate 70 mg along with HCG 400iu AND Arimidex 0.125mg twice weekly which crashed my e2, then I just pretty much kept trying to change things up but it never worked
Hello,
I was on TRT for almost a year with a very reputable clinic. My experience was not positive. I overrespond to AIs and HCG ( 400iu twice/week) would shoot my E2 up.So I went through high and low E2 all the time and It was the worst time of my life.
I came off in May 2019 and been off...
any idea on how else i can raise my natural T significantly ? test boosters don't help that much and DAA has been shown to actually (in some cases) lower T...
i felt greaaat on clomid but i've also developed floaters in my eyes :/
i'll have to stop and hope for the best...
my only option now is going back on Testesrerone i guess
it sucks to be me lol
yes, you're right...it's the new trend nowadays, bunch of the dudes at my gym are blasting and cruising. I was referring to the ones who still follow the on & off approach
Carter, I tend to aromatase quickly and i'm also an arimidex over responder hence was the reason for why i couldn't get my trt protocol to work for an entire year. call me lucky lol
i'm currently on 12.5 mg clomid 3 times/ week, i've been on it for the past 2 weeks and i feel great so far, not...
That's what i thought, he's well built and in good shape so i think ,even though he didn't say it, that he may be following the same protocol ?
putting terminology aside, as i'm sure this is not a "TRT" protocol. but would this work for someone in the normal low range ? and again why don't...
I was discussing my low T symptoms with my new GP (he sounds much more knowledgeable than all the endos I've been to btw) and told him that I came off TRT because it wasn't working for me. I recovered after one year on TRT + HCG and recovered to my pre TRT levels (low normal range).
He...
Found a way to convert the units to align with my pre trt results.
Testosterone Total (84403) 448 ng/dl normal
Testosterone Free 84402 43.30% normal
SHBG 36.84 nmo/L normal
Estrogens,Total 74 pg/ml normal
Results matches my...
Lab work !!!
I did lab work twice so far and the results are as follow :
1) Collected on 07/30/2018 8:50 AM

T3, Free 2.4 pg/mL 2.3 - 4.2...
I think it does. I was over responding to the AI while on TRT, also a 2-3mg (liquid Cialis) gives me super strong erections for like 3 days straingt. I know it definitely increases my test level (proven via blood work before) also I look more shredded when I take Cialis for around 36 hours post...

Nelson, I'm already 3 weeks into PCT. I wish you chimed in earlier :)
I will give it a go if, god forbid, my restart fails.
In your opinion, is 25mg clomid/20mg nolva enough to stimulate the pituitary glands to release more hormones or should I raise the Clomid back to 50mg now that the vision...
