@Executive7 Thanks for the detailed reply. It is certainly worth a go I guess. I am just waiting for baseline results for the 4 weeks I have been on T only and depending on the results of that I will decide how to proceed.

Like some others I find that I feel best when Test is rising not when it is stable. Has anyone constructed a protocol that makes them feel great with high libido at the weekends and a little less distracted throughout the week when you have to get work done? Mon-Fri for me is sat behind a desk...

@Executive7 does this stand up to scrutiny? It is just mixed with bac water so I can't fathom why dilution would affect it - is it because it disperses more easily through the body?

For me it is 5ml bac water mixed with a Pregnyl 5000iu vial and inject 200IU EOD first thing in the morning. I think this is pretty standard preparation but my dosage is certainly on the lower end compared to others. I suspect it is still too much for me though.

I have recently taken a break from HCG. I was taking 200iu EOD which is the lowest dose that I have tried so far. Although my blood markers were pretty much perfect I was still feeling a little off, with puffy face, excessive sweating and some anxiety. After 2 weeks of sticking with just T only...

It is not always elevated, I have had about 8 tests in the last 18 months and usually it is in range. this is the second time it has shown up about 4 times normal level. Gyms are back open, so maybe the first couple of heavy weight sessions pushed my prolactin way up there. I guess I will know...

I have had high prolactin before which was mainly caused by an intense workout the day before the test but usually it also comes along with a raised E2. My recent test showed E2 as 20 pg/mL but Prolactin was 800 mU/L on a range of 80 - 320. Libido is on the floor and I am struggling with energy...

I am trying to figure out what is going on with my Libido it was very good a few weeks ago but has now dipped quite rapidly so I am thinking that maybe E2 is the culprit and that maybe it needs to be higher. All other blood markers are where I want them to be. I know from previous experience...

I am on a daily dose of T and HCG but I take Exemestane qtr of a tab 6.25mg every 3.5 days. As I no longer have a trough for T, I now measure on the day of my next Exemestane dose. So it sits at a measured 40 pg/mL on day of next dose but what I suppose is the highest level it gets. But what is...

Thanks for the replies. My free T is currently sitting at .65 nmol or 2.3% which is a decent level no? I know someone else on TRT who had similar SHBG levels to me and he was put on an everyday protocol of both T and HCG. It has only been a couple of months but he says he feels better on the...

When I first started TRT may doctor at the time said that we needed to get my SHBG down as it was at 60. Sure enough TRT reduced it to 35. It crept up again as I was put on a lower T dose to try and reduce aromatisation ednding up at the start of this year at 48 - at the same time my Total T...

I have a similar pill cutter and can never understand why people like this type. How on earth are you supposed to position tiny pills evenly between the blades?

I quit the Pregenolone and feel much better. If I do start it again then I will start off with about 10mg and see where that takes me.

So after about 3 weeks into Tadalafil I am not so sure now. I started Tadalafil and Pregnenolone 30mg about the same time. and I am now experiencing a certain nervousness and anxiety that has built up over the last week and doesn't look like abating. I am guessing it is one of the two that is...

I am aware that Viagra is available over counter in UK - Have you seen the prices though? 35 uk pounds for 8 tablets I believe! I am trying out the tadalafil for the other benefits not mainly for erection issues, although I guess no man is going to complain about extra power in that department...

I am from the UK so not sure that is an option. I might have spoke to soon about the Tadalafil working well, yesterday afternoon I started to get back ache and this has continued to this morning. I didn't injure it in anyway so at this stage I assume it is the drug as I notice that this is a...

Damn that's cheap! I thought the price was £30 pretty much everywhere.

Thought I would try low dose Tadalafil as there is so much talk of it on here. I am very impressed so far and if things stay like this then I can certainly see myself on this long term. I just feel 'better' in a lot of ways not just easier and firmer erections. I tried to save money by getting...

Sorry I missed the updates to this thread. I was on two tabs a day at first. To be honest I don't notice much difference to being on proviron or off it. If it does have an affect it is very subtle. I have been off it for 9 months and now on a single ester and HCG. My SHBG sits at about 45 now...

I was on proviron for about a year when I first went on TRT. It used to be common to prescribe this alongside Sustanon from some health clinics in the UK. My SHBG before TRT was in the 60s and after the first 6 weeks of treatment it was down to 35.

Results are in and all hormones were down by about 20%-30% Total T has been rock solid at 1000-1200 the last 9 months but these results had it around the 800 level. Everything else had dropped as well. So maybe it is a coincidence or maybe blood donations do skew things for a few days.

Because of timing I have had to do a blood panel 3 days after giving blood and I am worried it will skew results. I was going to wait 10 days after the test but because I have to travel for work I have just had to bite the bullet and get it done early. I predict that HCT will be lower than...

Ah, hydration could have been a big factor as well. I noticed that the nurse asked me if I was dehydrated.

Is there a routine to follow the day or two before a blood draw? I have heard that any ejaculation 48 hours prior to a blood draw can raise prolactin significantly but are there other things that you should try to avoid prior to a blood draw? like a heavy workout or a potentially stressful...

Cypionate is just a horrible ester! Went to do my latest injection and the whole contents of the vial is completely crystallised. put it in a bowl of hot water to melt and now it is not a clear liquid but has little strands floating around in it - no amount of shaking disperses them...

Thanks for the Defy link. I injected again this morning and as per the instruction I placed the vial in hot water for 10 minutes. Took it out and sloshed it around the vial for a bit and the contents looked as good as new. I find Cypionate a bit odd though. I am used to Enanthate and that is...

I was due a blood draw at the end of this week and these are expensive. I guess I will have to delay this by a couple of weeks - no point in doing a blood panel when the results are compromised.

I store my Test Cypionate in a bedroom cupboard which at night time maintains a temperature of about 66F This week when I went to do my morning injection I noticed that half of the contents had crystallised at the bottom of the vial. I was in a hurry so just drew from the liquid that was left...

On Monday I felt the best I have in years, focused, energetic, muscles were full and I had a powerful urge to go to the gym and workout hard. It was only in the afternoon that it dawned on me that this usually means I have caught a particularly bad bug and my body has turned all its systems up...

Only just seen this. I started on 1 grain and that did not move my numbers much - TSH down to 3.8 and free T4 suppressed a bit so have moved to 1.5 and now 2 grains. I will wait another few weeks for levels to stabilise and then do bloods. Feeling better on 2 grains though so hopefully things...

No just TSH that is all they care about. I had pages of blood panels that I had paid for myself but they were not really interested in looking at them. As I said, without access to a decent physician I felt it was best to take responsibility for my own thyroid levels.
