    Magnesium Supplements? Biotest ZMA?

    I'm off TRT right now, and am looking to increase my magnesium intake to hopefully help with slightly high blood pressure, workout recovery, and maybe get a little free T boost. Has anyone tried a product like below or should I take zinc and magnesium separately? If separate, what type and...

    Best Supplement(s) for Slightly Elevated Blood Pressure?

    Over the past 1-2 months, I've taken over 100 BP readings and the average I'm getting is like 129-131/73. So, I get some decent readings like 123/73 which aren't bad, but then other times I get a 135/78 reading and it offsets it. My bottom number is always below 80, but I would like to get the...

    Stopping T-Cream Questions

    Saw a bunch of "cold turkey" threads on here regarding ceasing injections, but since cream has a faster mechanism of action would it be smart to just reduce the # of clicks over time or also stop cold turkey? Maybe keep using AI to help the reset process? I have been on 3 clicks cream daily (2...

    Time for T Cream to Have Effect?

    With Defy, I started 20% Compounded T Cream about 4-5 days ago. I am on "two clicks" or 100 MG per day. Have been rubbing into arms/shoulders, and put 1-click onto scrotum today, but I am feeling literally no effect from this? I did IM injections about 2 years ago, then stopped TRT until now...

    T-Cream Newbie, Please Help

    I'm with Defy and about to begin the protocol below. Unfortunately, everything arrived with no application instructions at all? I've done HCG and can handle that, but: 1) Where should I apply the T cream to start out here? Seems like a lot of guys are doing scrotal application? Or should I...

    Moderate Sleep Apnea, do Clomid start or wait for CPAP?

    37 y/o male, just had in-home sleep study, results attached. It showed a low amount of obstructive apneas but I had a high amount of hypopneas which gave me an AHI of 16.3. Sleep doc is saying to do a CPAP/APAP machine based on the AHI being greater than 5. I am also with Defy, and was about...

    Do I Have Primary or Secondary Hypogonadism?

    Pre-TRT, my FSH was 3.9 in a range of 1.5-12.4 (mIU/ml) from Lab Corp. LH wasn't tested, but TSH was 2.81 with range .450-4.500. Total T was 292 out of 348-1197. Because my FSH was on the lower range, does that mean I am secondary? I was never told anything by the doctor, who was horrible...

    Prior to starting TRT last June, I began having left testicular pain and almost like a burning sensation in my left groin. Never on the right side, always isolated to the left. It would come and go, then come on again. Never was excruciating, just a nagging and dull pain. It eventually got...

    Was doing IM 150 mg/week, and had just switched to 20mg/day, via Sub Q. Was also doing 1000 IU HCG/week. Both on IM and Sub Q, I had battled anxiety and no libido on and off since starting TRT last June. The anxiety & obsessive worry got really bad 2-3 weeks ago, so I stopped taking both T...
