I almost wonder if Pellets are better for this with low SHGB. Mine is around 10 and I have had really no success with daily injections the past 3 years.

I’ve always done injections. Added test cream to testicles daily at a small dose because it converts to DHT.

I got on here and found Defy was evidently the gold standard so I went with them. That is what they test for.

25 is the high limit on the Free T. ive just been going off what Defy recommended.

20 mg Test and 20 mg of Nandrolone daily. 500 IU HCG twice weekly 2 clicks of Test cream to scrotum daily Last labs were from August. 1210 Total Test 19.2 Free T 52 DHT Hemoglobin at that time was 18.6 and I donated blood at that time.

Went to donate the other day and my hemoglobin was 20.3. They didn’t let me donate. They recommended I get doctor’s orders to do therapeutic phlebotomies weekly until my numbers were within range then go back to doing bi-monthly or quarterly donations. Anyone else had to do this?

I just changed my protocol to include ND as well. I am a 9-12 SHBG guy. My protocol was 30mg Test Cyp daily / 500IU HCG Twice a week. My test stays around 600-700 with FreeT at the high end of range. My E2 is one the 45-60 range. To not have to take Anastrozole, I’m going to 20mg of Test and...

EOD injections of 40mg: Total T - 422 Free T - 15.2 (8.7-25.1) Daily injections of 20mg: Total T - 355 Free T - 18.1 (8.7-25.1)

SubQ in stomach fat. Where are you injecting?

14.

First I've heard of anyone doing this. Is freezing them pretty common?

True. I guess I was expecting it to increase.

Anyone switch from EOD to Daily and have their T drop? I went from 40mg/EOD to 20mg/Daily and my total T went from 422 to 355.

It’s the estradiol, sensitive test from LabCorp. I misspoke. I’m on 126mg/week. I was referencing ml, which my injection is 18ml EOD. At 140mg/week, my free test was 29 on a recommended scale of 8.7-25.1. I have very low SHBG at 13.

I mean I do feel like crap. I’ve never felt great on TRT going on 2 years since I started. However, the past couple of months have sucked. No energy, no libido, depression, weight gain. But I can’t imagine that the 186 would be accurate. Isn’t that off the charts for men?

Yes.

Are those common for LabCorp?

Went for my 6 month check up. My E2 has never been over 60 and was 40 6 months ago. It jumped to 186. Any idea what would have caused it? What has changed since last checkup: decreased test cyp from 20mg EOD to 18mg. Increased Anastrozole from 0.125 EOD to rotating between 0.125 and .25 EOD...

How long after making a switch in AI does it take for E2 to steady? I was on .125mg EOD and now switched to .25mg EOD. Just curious how long I should wait to test E2 again.

Sounds like you and I are pretty similar. I’m going to focus on getting my E2 numbers down and see how I feel. Likely start by reducing dosage of T from 40mg/EOD to 36mg/EOD.

I need to try to get my E2 much lower then. It’ll need to be a combination of lowering Test dosage and increasing Anastrozole I’m sure. What does your protocol look like? What about your labs?

SHBG is 14. I’ve been on EOD injections of 40mg and .125 mg Anastrozole. Also take 500IU HCG every 4 days. Been on this for over a year. Labs have been pretty steady at 750 Test and 25-30 E2. I’m just not feeling any benefit from the TRT. I’ve heard that cream gives the most stable levels so...

Anyone had any luck switching from injections to cream? My low SHBG has made it very difficult to get dialed in with injections. Wondering if switching to a daily cream might benefit me. Thanks!

I'm on an EOD protocol for Test. I do HCG every other injection of Test so every 4 days.

I use Test Cream on my testicles to increase DHT. Since starting that, I've had a huge increase of hair growth on my belly, chest, and back.

Strength is merely the production of force by your muscles. The more weight you lift, the more force you produce. Since you can't lift as much weight 10 times as you can 5 times, 5 heavy reps is a heavier weight than 10 heavy reps. Therefore, 5 heavy reps makes you stronger than 10 heavy reps...

Not taking a pill.

I've only used Empower. Maybe I should try APS.

Has anyone noticed less effectiveness of their HCG towards the end of the vial? I have noticed it and as soon as I go to a new vial, the effectiveness is back up to what it should be.

I have great erection quality. However, penis sensitivity and trouble reaching orgasm have been an issue. Any ideas on what might be the culprit or where to start looking?

Could be because he is 51. He said he wakes up every morning with an erection, so ED isn't a problem. I think this shows that people need to chase how they feel instead of numbers on a test. Everyone is different.
