    New lab results (OK T levels, suboptimal DHEA, low libido)

    I've been on 50mg enanthate twice weekly for ~4 months (no AI or HCG) and on TRT for 3 years. The lab was done, of course, before the next injection. Note that I'm in a third world country and can't have all the usual tests done. (The lab technician told me estrogen measurement is of no...

    Why I still don't have morning erections?

    I'm 39 and I've been on TRT for about 3 years. My current protocol is 50mg enathate twice a week with the occasional (one month every few months) HCG to prevent my testicles from disappearing. I still don't have morning erections even though my libido is alright. I used to have insomnia i.e...

    How often should you inject enanthate

    Like I said in another tread, where I am now I can only get hold of enanthate. I remember when I was a patient at Defy, Dr Saya told me without HCG I should inject cypionate EOD. Now enanthate has a lower half life BUT I can only get hold of 100mg ampules of enanthate. Let me first say that on...

    Does testosterone enanthate every 3 weeks make sense?

    As you know I've been on TRT for 2.5 years and my current protocol is 28mg cypionate EOD. I'm now in a 3rd world country and I went to an endocrinologist. He told me a lot of interesting things: HCG is for infertility and shouldn't be prescribed together with T. Stopping TRT I won't feel bad...

    I feel my social anxiety has increased on TRT

    I've been on TRT for more than 2 years and when I think about it my social anxiety increased around the same time I went on TRT and basically stayed the same till this day. The level of anxiety in my life has not increased. This together with negligible libido are mysteries to me. Can it be...

    TT increased, both FT and E2 decreased!

    In april when I was on propinate daily and HCG TT 766 FT 34.6 E2 32.2 Now after 1-2 months back on cypionate 32mg EOD and cutting down on HCG, still no AI: TT 853 FT 23.1 E2 24.9 It is written "Roche ECLIA methodology" in front of Estradiol. Is that not "sensitive"? Blood draw was done...

    CalMagZinc supplements anyone?

    I take magnesium and zinc at night for sleep and they work. I feel I have more energy the next day as well. It thought it would be easier to take the two in one supplement. ZMA can give me insomnia (possibly the B6) and this leaves CalMagZinc. I know that calcium can inhibit zinc absorption but...

    Drinking too much water, IV infusion and chronic fatigue

    As a matter of fact I've been suffering from chronic fatigue for a few years. I also drink about 1.5 gallon of water everyday. It just feels good to drink water. What do these have to do with each other? A couple of months ago I visited ER for a "near syncope". (My blood pressure spikes when I...

    Moving to another country on TRT

    I gave TRT a thorough thought before embarking on it. Whether it would be helpful to me, its side effects, whether I could increase my levels to a satisfactory level naturally. The main benefits of TRT for me have been increased confidence, determination and energy. Without it my T levels will...

    Cypionate EOD vs twice a week: E2 vs T peak

    I was on propionate for a year till I got tired of it so talked to my doctor and now my protocol is Cypionate 32mg EOD plus 300IU of HCG once a week. Doctor suggested EOD to keep my levels stable because I'm not using much HCG now. I wonder if this is really necessary. Twice a week is more...

    Testosterone level 260 on TRT!

    16mg of propionate daily. I reduced HCG dose to 500 IU every other week to decrease my E2. FT 6.8 in 8.7-25.1 DHT 32 in 30-85 DHEA-S 208.7 in 102.6-416.3 TSH 1.3 in .45-4.5 E2 10.5 in 8-35 SHBG 28.4 in 16.5-55.9 So I was successful in bringing my E2 down after all haha. Moral of the story...

    Anastrazole makes me so tired

    I took my first dose of 0.125mg yesterday and now it's like I've run a marathon. Have you guys had similar reactions? Does it stop after a while or is it persistent? I'm guessing the reason is that it can reduce red blood cell count and I, for genetic reasons, have low hemoglobin.

    Am I hypothyroid?

    fT3 2.92 in 2-4.4 THS 1.18 in 0.27-4.2 Interestingly before going on TRT my THS was 2.25 in 0.358-3.74. I got a body thermometer and it measured 96.6 at this time (noon) which is considered low. I read that low body temperature means that your body does not produce enough energy and...

    What is an optimal DHT level?

    Mine is 55 in a 30 to 85 range, This may sound alright but remember guys whose DHT is bottom-normal are likely the ones whose TT is bottom-normal like 300. (I mean you can't really trust the normal range for something like this.) I'm thinking maybe supoptimal DHT is the cause of my low libido.

    T levels dropped after going on Propionate

    I introduces myself here and here. Here are my new labs after a few months of using Propionate, 0.125 ml (12.5mg) a day. How come my T levels dropped so much? Vitamin D increased from 25 but still needs more work. My DHT doesn't look high so I don't understand why I keep getting new...

    Thinking of getting a CPAP machine

    I keep waking up in the middle of the night and a sleep study costs $700 AFTER INSURANCE where I live. A CPAP can be bought for cheaper. I did a home oxymetry and it showed no apnea but I have a genetic disorder which makes my body oxygen deficient. Any suggestions on where to buy one...

    Do you really need to inject HCG twice a week?

    It's an extra nuisance and it's more expensive than testosterone. What about injecting once a week?

    DHEA: can you decrease its conversion to DHT?

    Dr Saya first advised me to take it for my insomnia. 25mg every night. It seemed to make my insomnia worse and give me heart palpitations so I stopped after a week. However I noticed a huge increase in libido and also an increase in my facial hair. This week I started taking it again to address...

    Luggol's for iodine?

    I had a blood work and my iodine level was near the bottom of the normal range. I also had high rT3. I got 2% Luggol's and am not sure how much to take. Last week I took 4 drops on my skin and I got diarrhea. I'm thinking one or two drops should be enough per week. On the internet some...

    Can sunflower lecithin affect DHT?

    I've tried it twice for increasing semen volume (which decreases on TRT even with HCG) and it works. However either time I notices a huge increase in my facial hair which was presumably caused by an increase in DHT. I'm not sure it was the lecithin or other stuff that I was taking with it. The...

    Results of 4-speciment salivary cortisol test

    Hi there, I introduced myself in this thread. Here is the result of my cortisol test. Assuming the lab has not screwed up the samples, they are in this order: 1-Ten minutes after spontaneusly waking up around 3 am. (Yes my slep is that screwed up.) 2-After coming home from a long hike, 1 pm...

    Muscle pain and inflammation

    As far as I can remember I've hardly ever felt great. I've almost always had a feeling of fatigue, as if there is a weight on my shoulders. This has had a negative impact both on my personal and social lives. From my mid 20s on I've had muscle pain too although not always. I sometimes took...

    Can Vitamin D injections cause insomnia?

    So I was deficient in Vitamin D (25.8 in 30-100 and that in the summer). I told my doctor that taking high doses of D causes me fatigue (I'm not alone if you search the internet). So he suggested injectable vitamin D. I did my first injection on Tuesday with a dose of 12500 IU, IM and from...

    Not feeling better on TRT + Thyroid problems

    I've been having problems with severe fatigue, insomnia (waking in the middle of the night, not feeling rested) and mental fog in the last 2 years or so. Last year around this time my total T was measured to be in the 200s. Finally I went on TRT from last November. My current regimen is...
