From my experience and what I've read about endocrine cycles, the flux is desirable and tends to replicate the natural testosterone patterns in a healthy male. It's not exact but it's pretty damn close. Also, a higher dose of cream should keep the lower end of the fluctions in a decent spot...

Na, but my hair is unusually thick so I'm not a good data point. It's really helped my beard though!

Always happy to keep this thread updated. Wouldn't change this protocol for anything and I strongly recommend Dr. Nichols to every guy I know that's interested in TRT

Divided into 2 doses. 100mg am. 50mg about 8 hours later.

Still going strong. Reduced my dose to 150mg daily. Currently taking armour thyroid, 2grains daily. Might start looking into hcg in a few months for fertility but other than that I have no complaints!

I usually apply it first thing when I get up. If I go for a run first then I'll apply it afterwards. At night I try to apply it before 6pm. I go to bed around 10:30 so there's at least 4 hours between when I apply and when I have intercourse.

Not sure but since I'm not taking hcg those downstream hormones aren't getting produced, hence the supplementation, oral route.

Metformin dhea pregnenolone vit d, b12, armour thyroid and fish oil.

interesting. Are you just on cream or is this with injections as well?

I'm using medquest. You like hcg with the cream?

200mg/ml cream. I apply 1ml a day split into 2 doses. It seems like a alot but that's pure test in the cream so it peaks and troughs pretty quick.

Sure are! I've been trying to spread the word about scrotal application in other forums.

I was on injections for about a year and a half. I could never get to where I wanted to be for some reason. I suspect that taking the AI at all was a horrible idea and was most likely causing my issues. After the cream, it was about a week and then things improved dramatically.

It usually takes a few hours and there are some white flecks every now and then. I try to rub in one click at a time and that seems to be doing the trick. But I think some of it gets left in the folds. Also, and I'm not sure about this but I think the cream is just left after a while and the...

Yea, I've gotten some flak when I bring him up, which I don't understand because he's as qualified if not more so than some of the practitioners than people are working with. Also, and this might seem a bit odd, but we rarely need to converse about my protocol. It's just fire and forget which is...

He is.

Sorry to hear that man. The pharmacy that my doc goes through is medquest. From what he told me, they're one of the only pharmacies that test the consistency of their compounds. Also, and I didnt know this until a few days ago but the base for my cream says vaginal HRT base or something along...

100mg 2x a day. The absorption varies from person to person but I do really well with it.

I would say its everything I wanted when I started TRT. Consistent and above average strength gains. Morning erections about 98% of the time. Intercourse 4 - 5x week and I usually masturbate on top of that. Random erections and super solid libido. Like im not just hard but fucking horny as well...

I was right where you were some months ago. I switched over to scrotal application of T cream and have loved it. I'm mystified as to why this isn't the first line approach to TRT. I don't worry about E2. Don't need to take HCG, I'm not taking labs every month trying to get things just right...

I wanted to chime in on this and say that I'm finding scrotal application of the cream to be VASTLY superior to any protocol I've been on before. I don't even think about my E2 or what minor adjustment I need to make to feel good. I just put it on and go. And this is going on eight months. Wish...

It's a pretty standard protocol that I've seen work for most people. E2 medication made me feel terrible so I switched to using cream and I've never looked back. I need to rub it on 2x a day but at this point it's like putting on deodorant, which I also need to put on twice a day so there you...

That's 100mg test in the cream. Not sure how much the cream weighs.

Aside from reasons already stated on this thread, a poor testimony of my doc would be coming back to this forum week after week complaining of symptoms and begging for advice on how to fix the protocol that I was given. I don't even think about my protocol these days unless I'm trying to help...

You're right my friend. It'd be more helpful to the other guys on here if I got complete bloodwork. I'll order up a full panel sometime this week.

Yea, if you go by standard lab ranges then it can be a little unsettling, but my own doc follows this protocol and he says I'm good. I'll try get some more complete labwork to give everyone a better picture.

Look up Dr Keith Nichols and testosterone resistance. His youtube videos are pretty informative.

Sure thing! Dhea and preg are from compounding pharmacies. And this was a surprise but I actually have less atrophy with the cream than injection. If I'm being honest I think my right testicle has actually gotten a bit larger. The left one is smaller bit not by much.

I just take everything in the morning. It's all capsules. Also, I forgot to mention that I take amour thyroid as well. 120mg daily. The thyroid meds are spit to 60mg morning/ 60mg afternoon. I'll get some bloodwork done this week. Probably get T tested again as well.

Sure thing. I apply 100mg cream to the scrotum 2x a day. Aside from that I take 100mg preg, 25mg dhea, 2000mg metformin, 5000iu vitamin d, 2mg zinc, 1mg copper, 600mg magnesium. Historically my shbg has been anywhere from 16-20. Haven't checked my e2 or dht but I wanted to get them done to give...

Reposting these labs in case anyone is still interested. Blood was drawn 5h post application. This protocol is still hands down the best one I've ever been on. My GF keeps track of when we have sex and it has gone from 6 times in three months (on my previous protocol) to at least once a day...
