Looking to order these tests. I'm seeing several RBC tests. Folate, Zinc and Magnesium. They're pretty expensive so just want to make sure I need all of them.

Ok, thank you. I will definitely be getting that tested

Thank you so much! I will definitely look into the FT. I don't believe I ever had that tested. Current protocol is 50mg Test Cyp, 300iu HCG IM and .12mg Anastrozole and 12.5mg DHEA orally EoD. My SHBG is low which is why I do EoD...thinking about switching back to ED to try and get those...

I'm not necessarily trying to mimic the honeymoon. My drive is now much lower then it was pre-TRT. I live a healthy lifestyle. My problem is related to TRT itself. Back to my actual question...Are there other hormones I need to test besides what are listed inthe OP: Thyroid, Cortisol...

I jumped on EM tonight to finally post about my struggle with fluctuating libido and found this thread. I'm sorry to hear so many people are struggling with this but it's also good to know that I'm not alone. It seems that a change in HCG or AI seems to give me a honeymoon period for a few...

The article McBeavy posted doesn't seem to mention anything about freezing reconstituted HCG. Please explain why you shouldn't freeze it? I read at one point a lab put reconstituted HCG through multiple freeze thaw cycles testing the potency throughout the process and showed very little loss...

Yup, 250iu/day. I am thinking today that I might start staggering the injection of the HCG because I think I've noticed that if I go off for a couple days and then take a larger dose I see some positive changes, though I also have to deal with extra acne.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I basically suffer from exactly these issues. I'm currently running 16mg test cyp, 250iu HCG, .03mg Anastrozole and 12.5mg DHEA every day. For the anastrozole I dissolve a 1mg tablet in 1ml of vodka in a syringe and dose it out. The HCG dose is very high and...

I'm at about the 6 week mark now and still not feeling much of a difference. (Here's a thread with all my bloods if you care to take a look) What I'm curious about is how exactly to dial everything in. First question, if it can take months (even years) to reap the benefits of HRT how long does...

Interesting, I was using steroid calc to plot the half life and it shows everything leveling out around day 20ish. Can you point me to any studies regarding the 6 week timeline as I may retest if that is the case.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, no more than I was facing originally. ED isn't terrible but present, lack of energy, drive and libido aren't terrible but present. I'm thinking it could be just slightly out and it's making me feel just slightly out. But of course, I've only been at it a month and...

Hey everyone...first thing I want to say is it's a comfort to know that there is a community out there like this one that I can rely on to get good, non pharmaceutical driven advice from. Really thankful for you guys. I've been on TRT for a little over a month now and just got my 1-month bloods...

Great, thanks for the advice!

Thank you so much for the detailed reply, So you suggest not starting HCG right away? Is that because it would be better to see where my levels are with Testosterone and see how they change when adding in HCG? Seems like a good idea to me so I have a better idea of where to adjust later. Free...

Hello All, hopefully this is the right place to dump all this... I’ve been lurking around these forums and doing a lot of reading on TRT lately since I began to suspect I was low after some blood tests, wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on my plans and bloods so I can make the best...
