And my TSH was 1.210…. Forgot to mention that in my original post

Thanks for the reply!! I’ve never really had my thyroid test done looking back other then as an infant I guess … but after mentioning to my mom (who has Hashimotos actually) she reminded me I have a blood abnormality that affects thyroid results.. I’ve attached a screenshot. I guess it would...

Latest labs showed both of these values low… could this be a result of TRT? Or worth exploring? I haven’t talked to the doc yet.. 2.1st/dl and 51.9ng/dl respectively

Hey guys thanks for all the replys!

I inject both T and HCG Sub-Q. My question is, as long as it’s going into subcutaneous tissue does it really matter where it goes? Stomach fat injections always hurt and leave welts and sometimes bruises.. not much of it there maybe, so always do a SubQ glute injection. Will that make a difference?

great thanks! thought it was but it hadn’t been ordered that way so looks like they knew what to do…

That's interesting... I think I may have seen you mention this in another post. I guess I could always try and stop for a bit. It makes me wonder if the rise of e2 with the addition of HCG does have an affect...

Hey guys! my current protocol is .2ml test EOD and 500iu HCG 2x per week and no AI. Without any reason I can think of my boys seem either high and tight and other times they hang nice they way I like them lol. It can vary from week to week. Without HCG they definitely start to get sore and...

Posting for my significant other (40yo) who is going to get a hormone panel done with the hope of maybe correcting some imbalances if there are any. She has been on the pill her whole life and just stopped taking it. As a male I am very familiar with male hormones and have been on TRT for the...

Great thanks for the advice!

.2ml every other day

Ok thanks! I actually have some 30g 5/16” that I’ve used.... but when Crisler talked about it he made it sound like the “needle effect” can further irritate the tissue underneath. The couple times I used them it seemed the injection site was sore for a couple days where as the 28g left no pain...

Hey guys just started SubQ. I’m having A hard time finding good spots I guess. Using a 28g 1/2” syringe I feel like I’ll Pierce stomach muscle below my belly fat? Maybe it’s deceiving and the stomach muscle isn’t as close as I think it is. Should I be going in at a steep angle? I also tried my...

So a good friend of mine just had his labs done. He is experiencing all the classic symptoms, low libido, no morning erections at all, no energy, etc. His SHBG and Total T are through the roof so seems to be an issue with his high SHBG and no free T? Overall he's in good shape, good diet. How...

Just a dove shampoo. Loosing I mean I feel like when I pull on it multiple strands come out with a gentle pull.

Ok copy that. With that being said, can e2 have an affect on DHT?

And I can call and confirm but that should have been the sensitive test...

Hey Vince, thanks for your input. Being new to this, Im not feeling the physiological differences I thought I might. Still low energy, but that's probably due to lack of sleep. I feel as though I have thinned up, getting stronger for sure. Maybe I was hoping for more.... Would lowering my HCG...

Hey guys looking for some input on my most recent labs. DHT is super high, and Hematocrit is really starting to creep. Im not on that high of a Testosterone dose (.7ml, thinking off going to .6ml and see if that helps) so no idea why DHT is so high? My back is breaking out and I feel like I'm...

Thanks everyone for all the responses!!

I tried the search function but "DIM" doesn't contain enough characters to preform a search.... Thanks!

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I'm on a Monday AM, Thursday PM injection schedule. 6 weeks into treatment and my E2 level at my trough (blood drawn at 0900 the day of my Thursday injection was 25 (I was 24 prior to treatment). How much higher can E2 be at peak T levels? I have not been on an AI...

If I were to have an issue with high E2 while not on an AI of course...which I don't think I do based on the way I feel..... how long could it take before any side effects of high E2 become permanent?

Thanks guys for all the replies so far! I started taking a new probiotic but that was about 6 weeks ago.... Ill start by stopping that and see if anything changes...

Hey guys, Started on TRT 4 weeks ago. My rx is .7 ml per week. The first two weeks I took that as a single dose on Monday's. I have since split into two injections per week, .35ml on Monday's and Thursday's. This week marks the start of my 4th week. I'm not using an AI yet as I wanted to do labs...

Since joining this forum I’m understanding HCG is the protocol most members prefer so I’ll definitely want to talk to the doc about that. Haven’t made my mind up his doc for sure, still in my research mode. I overthink everything. Anyways I think I’d be a good candidate so looking forward to...
