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?

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.

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.

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!

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?

Curios if anyone has ever lowered their T dosage and felt better? I've read on here that 900+ Total T isn't necessarily ideal for everyone and that many feel great around 600 or so. If you have successfully lowered your T and felt better, please share.

My last labs had my DHT very low. Defy prescribed 1 click of 50mg/ml T cream to be applied to scrotum daily. For those that have done this: 1. How much did that increase your DHT? 2. Did it increase your Total T? 3. What about Estrogen levels? TIA!

Just got my follow up blood work back. Total Test went from 150 to 800 (264-916 range). Estradiol Sensitive went from 19 to 60 (8-35 range) DHEA stayed level at 370. SHBG stayed level at 14 (low) Checked DHT this time and was at 30 (30-85 range) Taking 40mg of Test Cyp EOD and 500IU of HCG...

I just started with them about 6 weeks ago. My follow up was set for 3 months after starting. I've read on the board that levels should be normalized by 6 weeks. If I were to run my own test at this point, would they be willing to amend the protocol? I want to run labs but if something...

I did my first SubQ injection today of 40 mg of Test Cyp with a 25G needle. I noticed a little leakage. I injected into belly fat. Also, the stick itself didn't hurt, but injecting did. I felt a little pain for about 30 minutes or so afterwards too. What is the smallest sized needle one...

I have been on TRT for 6 weeks with an Urologist I was recommended to by my PCP. I was not very confident in him after our first meeting. He checked my Test and E2 but nothing else. Since then, I've found this board and went ahead and ordered my own test and wanted to get your thoughts. Age...

One week 3 of TRT 100mg test/1500IU HCG weekly. Take the shots Sunday night and feel great Monday-Wednesday, then start feeling sluggish and tired starting Thursday and gets worse until Sunday when I start over again. Should I give it more time before asking my doc if I can switch to every...

I just started on TRT this week with the following protocol: 100mg Test Cyp injection 1x per week 1500UI HCG 1x per week, same day as Test. Brief background: 32 yo, Total T 140, E2 at 16. Question I have is on the HCG dosage. The test cyp dosage looks normal for starting but the HCG...

I've been lurking for a while. Finally went to have my levels checked. I did 3 test over the course of the previous month. 140, 130, and 170 were the numbers for Total T and 16 for E2, which is obviously terrible for a 32 year old. Was recommended to an Urologist and ended up being...
