Are you seeing a doctor? It took me 9 months to a year to figure out the right protocol for me, getting blood tests along the way and making adjustments. And even 2 years after that I was still making adjustments (and am still now).
The T can also have downstream effects on Estrogen, which...
I haven't come off T and don't plan on it, but I wanted to let you know I was able to get my wife pregnant right around the age of 42/43 with no issues.
My HCG was only 1200 IU/week.
I didn't come off Testosterone or change anything in my protocol.
Probably doesn't help you much, but wanted...
My testosterone levels have been on the higher side since starting TRT. And after my last consultation with my doctor they suggested if I wanted to, I could try lowering my weekly injections from .45 ml twice a week of testosterone with .125 mg anastrazole 3x a week...to 0.37 ml twice a week...
That is one reason (among others) when I started TRT I also started HCG. After 3 or 4 years when I was ready to have a baby, my tested levels of viable sperm was still through the roof.
We got pregnant on the first attempt. My daughter is now 11 months old, healthy, and cuter than I ever...
I don't really have patience, but there's pretty much no choice when you aren't yourself and are trying to get back there.
I won't put my specific protocol because everyone is different and I'm more sensitive to estrogen blockers than most (I also get back pain from Cialis, so started with...
Everything about this is a long journey. The doctor and I first dialed in the Testosterone and HCG doses, then moved onto maintaining those while adjusting the Anastrazole to a lower dose.
We'd wait over a period of 3-6 months, and test again to see what was happening and how I felt...
I had almost no measurable levels of E when I started. I also didn't notice any changes (meaning I still had undesirable side effects) and went on to discover after a little while my levels of E had shot really high.
So it took some time to get them "in range", but the takeaway for me was I...
Personally I am controlling estrogen. I take an inhibitor 3 times a week. Most of how I feel seems to be directly correlated to E being too high or too low. But I’ve had it in check for a while now.
Recent test:
My Estradiol, Sensitive is 29.5.
My SHBG is 19.2
I've been reading a lot of posts with lab results, and there is no uniform way they are presented.
Someone will post a pic with their personal info left on by accident, someone will type a list, someone will run everything together, someone will leave out critical information.
So my question...
Good points. And even with cycling 500/wk, people still need to work out consistently and have nutrition cracking in order to see the results you'd expect from someone who is "juiced".
I can see my levels (over 1,000) come in just over the men my age in the charts on this link who are in the...
That's something I'm curious about too. Not the twice a week injections, but the levels you'd achieve if you weren't tested at the lowest point...and if that would make any difference in how you should work out (i.e. should you do your heaviest lifts on days you inject, a day after you inject...
Thanks for the response. I take it by supra-physiological, you mean those doing cycles of steroids...not those on TRT, even if they are in the higher natural range such as 1,200 ng/dl.
I'm finding it tough to find solid information on this. I'm guessing it's probably because you can read...
Thanks in advance for reading a rather lengthy post. o_O
I am 90% happy with my TRT protocol, which I've been on for 5 years or so. So I'm not looking for advice on adjustments, but to better understand some specific questions.
As an aside, my testosterone levels are on the higher side (900...
I always bring one of these when I travel with HCG. It was recommended by Nelson, and it comes with 2 ice packs. On longer flights, you can have the stewardess put your extra ice pack in the freezer or fridge to swap out and keep the HCG cold. It has come in very handy for me whenever I go on...
Probably doesn't answer your question, but why would you need to get off TRT to get your wife pregnant? I had no issues getting mine pregnant, and I didn't have to change a single thing in my TRT protocol.
I had my sperm tested at a lab and it was very healthy. Isn't that one of the reasons...
I can almost assure you that my Estradiol levels MUST be in range in order to function properly. Days following the times I haven't taken my estrogen-blocker properly are not great performance days for me. Takes me about a week to get back to "normal". And sometimes when I may have taken a...
I would like to thank ExcelMale, Dr. Saya of Defy Medical, and users like Gene Devine and Vettester Chris for helping me to get my life back on track.
Over 4 years ago, I summed up my problems in the following lengthy post...
Thanks for queuing me. I find it really hard to believe:
a) you're not the one in the minority
b) that an anecdotal opinion like yours would hope to influence a medicinal protocol that has completely turned my life around
I agree that if you're just a little low in the T category, you have no...
I just came back from France and this travel cooler came in really handy. I used it to transport my HCG and didn't expect it to keep the medicine cool for more than 8 hours...but even after 12 hours my medicine was still cool. If you are really worried, it comes with two plastic freezable...
It's been said by everyone, but not everyone has said it...so let me add my thanks for doing this study and posting the results. I was particularly interested in your take on them afterwards, so glad you added that.
I'm curious if you considered reversing the dosages on the two patients to see...
Typical dose depends on the person, obviously. That's why there is no one-size-fits-all, and why people have to get dialed in.
But if you're just looking for ballpark to see how full the needle will be, I'm guessing typically for twice a week, you'd draw anywhere from the 2nd to the 5th mark...
To answer your question, transdermals did nothing for me. It wasn't until I switched to injections that anything started to change. I'm sure it also helped that I switched to a doctor who was extremely well-versed in what I needed to do.
And that's not to say I'm all better now because of...
Haha...no, it's definitely personalized treatment. I guess that's why I pay out of pocket.
What great news though...25% of his patients are still improving a year in? I'll take it!
This sounds really interesting, but my pre-workout (Jack3D) lists Yohimbe as an ingredient in their "proprietary blend"...and post-workout I always take about 5g Creatine, and a Critical Aminos mix which contains 100mg of L-Citrulline.
I know everyone reacts different, but do you think I would...
You two are probably asking about SoCalSurfer, but my DHEA was high to begin with so I didn't need any supplementation for that.
My Cyp dosage was increased after the first 12 weeks, as was the HCG, so it's been the same for the majority of the time. I did start to split it into two doses...
I started injecting Cyp & HCG in December of 2014, after 7 months on Androgel (which only had the positive effect of helping me sleep through the night).
Over the last week, I've noticed I've woken up with a really strong erection most nights. My penis doesn't seem to be any more sensitive...
Obviously we'd all like to be in that sweet spot, but I've been on the other side of this where you go absolutely forever with no release, and the sensitivity doesn't even exist. You have to trust me when I say between the two options, your situation is the preferable one.
I know that didn't...
