Did you have morning/nocturnal wood with a high Shbg? I don’t but then idk if that’s the problem

That’s natural, and even seen just shy of 1000. But my endo said my testes were on the small side. I’m not on any hrt. I took a liquid vitamin D in December before the test. Just a small dose every day or every other day. Thought I was deficient after working for years with not much sunlight...

SHBG and my crazy vitamin D when I was supplementing. Thyroid panel soon when my account is recovered.

Not kidding when I say this, but I feel like a eunuch.

Here’s one set while I look for the comprehensive thyroid panel. Thanks

I was far from starvation but still had symptoms of low blood sugar, but also thyroid issues. Such as couldn’t stand the cold at all, I’d walk a very short distance to my car in 35F degrees and would shiver hard for 10 minutes until I could drive. Or in warm weather, a short walk would have me...

My SHBG is high. I believe I ruled out all other causes of high SHBG- sensitive e2 is on the lower end of normal, increased my Vitamin D to well over 100, natural testosterone is 8-900, and DHT is normal. Last cause is thyroid. Comprehensive thyroid panel was good except for a very high reverse...

It started with low T symptoms, so I went to a researcher/professor endocrinologist at a university hospital. Said my symptoms would likely go away. They didn’t. Started having BPH symptoms and thought that lack of orgasms could be enlarged prostate so I mistakenly took saw palmetto that...

I had it a few months. If you can handle thick petroleum jelly feeling in your nose all day, then natesto should be fine. Did you try progesterone or any of the upstream hormones to counter anxiety?

In my opinion there’s 2 approaches, do a comprehensive male hormone test and narrow down the problem (free t is already low), or just try peptides, hormone replacement or SARMs. Lots of peptides are pituitary, hypothalamus, or growth hormone stimulators. I’d try MK677 and something like RAD140

I enrolled with Defy in 2017 and it is one of my bigger regrets. And the problems were everywhere, not just the system. I will go into detail if they don’t want to refund me. I have no choice after losing 2 jobs and quality of life went to 0 since trying the horrid protocol. Had to get out of...

I’ve had gyno beginning with corticosteroids from asthma treatment in 5th grade. It’s caused me embarrassment, and I overtrained in college years ago to manage it as best I could. I didn’t know it was caused by hormones. I regrettably took Saw Palmetto and it reverted back as I couldn’t workout...

Are you on a DHT inhibitor like finasteride? If not, I’ve seen a case where a guys hormones where too high and the doctor had to stimulate the enzyme through supplements that excretes hormones out, and patient saw improvement

Hey all, I’m wondering if I used HMG, would I have either shutdown of LH or FSH, or any other side effects? I have seen an endocrinologist that thinks I have an androgen insensitivity and/or sertoli only syndrome. I had a better reaction with TRT than HCG, so also thinking about using HMG...

Absolutely necessary to test “sensitive estradiol”, DHT, and salivary cortisol. Then up the vitamin D, and give progesterone bio identical cream a try, starting small, since your progesterone is low but too much could also interfere with androgens if overdone. Too little progesterone interferes...

Thanks for posting. I wish they would’ve gone into more depth of preferred exercises. Feel like if you told you’re PT that you want less hyperactivity/toning exercises, they’d say “huh?”

Does Defy still offer enclomiphene? Haven’t seen it on the website last couple times I checked.

Ok, so I peed in the shower one time and happened to feel that it was cool. Kind of concerning so I will check if I have to go while showering. It was cold again. Sometimes it’s cool and sometimes it’s hot or should be normal. When I say cold, definitely colder to touch than room temperature...

Hey all, I’m looking into the safety of blood cupping therapy on the pelvic area and if anyone has feedback or experience. I’m interested after reading this article...

Yes. Some PFS guys take it to combat sexual sides.

Your brain and organs need 5AR. Not sure why you want to risk joining the PFS crew.

How long would you suggest taking test or thyroid before switching up something else? I think about trying thyroid for my high reverse t3 but my shbg is high and cortisol is low.

I found a peptide that says it’s similar to RU-486 in that it’s a progestin that acts like an anti-progesterone. Says it decreases estrogen like side effects and increases libido. Wondering if it’s safe to use at 20mg or possibly more.

I’m kind of in the same boat as you (living with uncomfortable symptoms) and am looking forward to seeing a functional medicine doctor. I watched a case video of a teen with autoimmune issues. His vitamin D(most important function is anti inflammatory) was low and turned out to have gluten and...

Pretty sure that cialis will lower e2, so your true e2 is probably higher than you think, assuming you were taking it alongside TRT and AI.

I have read that Kisspeptin activates parts of the brain for libido. Hence the reason its prefixed “kiss.” Can anyone confirms it increases libido?

Any increase to SHBG, if it was tested?

I’m breaking out with face redness/itch that goes from my eyebrows and down through cheeks, now nearly to my jaw. I was on Empowers T cream and hydrocortisone and was breaking out a few months ago. Took a break from all meds and was doing fine. I started Empowers injectable Taurine and...

As much as I hate seeing guys on Propecia, I’d recommend being on Test as that seems to keep the side effects away as a general rule. Finasteride is very harmful to a fetus anyway.

I’m making more progress than any consistent dosage

They suggested 6 clicks of the T cream with HCG. I’m always switching up the protocol depending on positive/negative short term results. It’s almost too expensive to stay with Defy when already these issues have caused detrimental effects of every part of life. It’s nonstop money out the...
