My wife has been doing twice weekly injections of 5mg (10mg in total) for the last 8 months and she says she feels much better than the cream she was using prior. She still uses the Estrogen patch and Progesterone capsules in combination. It is Test Enamthate FYI. She is exploring adding...

Jobshopper, do you mind sharing the protocol your wife is using. My wife has tried the pellets which initially worked well but that faded quickly. She is now using Oral Progesterone, Estrogen Patch and Testosterone Enanthate injections. It seems to work well at times and less well other...

it is actually out of stock again but I managed to get a generic after not getting any for a month. It’s Progressive Pharmacy & Compounding in Burlington, Ontario

I am in Canada and here you cannot buy/sell things like Pregnenolone, DHEA etc but it is allowed to import small amounts for personal use. I recently found out that I can order (and have successfully done so) these products from Amazon.COM (in Canada you typically use Amazon.CA) and when...

I'd like to see a study like this done using % body fat rather than BMI which can inaccurately reflect obesity in larger (heavily muscled) individuals.

FWIW I have read lately that Non-alcoholic fatty liver can be a cause of low SHBG and that can happen without obesity or diabetes. Apparently some people (genetically) store fat excessively in their liver and it can be asymptomatic otherwise. I believe you need an ultrasound to determine fatty...

A related question... since the Testosterone, that pregnenolone produces, is now replaced by exogenous T, does that not reduce the amount of pregnenolone we would need to supplement. If we normally make 30mg/day how much of that would be responsible for T production?

Hey Phil, After several years using HCG without issue, I started developing what I thought were high E2 side effects but the blood work did not seem to support that conclusion. When I stopped HCG after experiencing the sides, after a week or so I noticed having increased libido which lasted...

I have noticed I get improved feeling/libido when I restart HCG for the first couple of months and once it starts to wane or i start to develop high E2 like symptoms (i say 'like' because I've not seen a significantly different E2 test result while on or off HCG). Then for a month or more i will...

Hey Willy, No, originally I was typically using 350iu to 500 per injection (although I’ve tried many dosages over the years and I did start trying to lower them when I first got the anxiety but decided stopping was a better choice) and around 1000iu+/wk and I take Test E at 14mg/day. When I...

It may be part of what’s happening but wouldn’t explain the increased libido when stopping HCG for 1-2 months. At the above intervals my libido starts to reduce as I approach the end of each time period and then libido is increased again when switching from HCG to no HCG or vice versa.

Not so far. but I restarted HCG At low levels (100 iu) and worked up to 250iu (which can still be considered low) and at 250, I seem to feel the benefits but without any anxiety developing within the 3 months of use before stopping.

I have noticed a similar effect by using HCG at 250iu EOD for 3 months followed by a 1 - 2 month break. i had been reducing my HCG use due to anxiety. i used HCG for years without issue, but it started to cause me anxiety issues which i 'confirmed' through starting and stopping HCG. During this...

Dwayne, am i reading your post correctly.... that you are doing injections every 4 weeks? If so that is at least part of the issue....

UPDATE: I was just informed I am able to get Pregnyl again (Canada) from the new pharmacy I deal with. And unless they misquoted me, it is half the price I would be paying for Fresenius Kabi (Generic?) HCG. Just a heads up for those looking.

As a compounded product i assume it will only available through compounding pharmacies and I have to assume if my pharmacy now has this available that others must but I don't have any information on that. I will certainly reply back with my experience but have a couple months of the Cialis...

A bit of an old thread but I am in Canada and want to advise other Canadian forum members that I have recently been offered a compounded version of Taldalafil (in what they are calling a 'troche') from my pharmacy. I have been using 5mg/day branded Cialis costing $150/month and the compounded...

AndrogenHacker, I have a question about COVID-19 testing. How do they correlate finding COVID-19 present in your nasal cavity with an actual systemic infection? I assume there could be an obvious answer that I am unaware of, but to put things in 'silly' terms, if my son sticks a crayon up his...

Usually when a member presents a lab result here that seems 'hard to believe' the advise is almost always to retest before changing your protocol but hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.

Much appreciated! I will investigate.

Thank you for all the info Madman! I will ask my pharmacy if they can get it again. I have developed an intolerance for HCG at all but the lowest doses (100iu/day or 200iu EOD) so far hasn't caused the anxiety etc to return. When i saw your post it made me realize that the issue arose around the...

Madman, I am in Ontario, Canada and I think you are as well? If so, are you able to get Pregnyl now? I used to be able to get it but for the last couple years or so, I've only been able to get the 'Fresenius Kabi" brand which I haven't heard of other than my pharmacy having it.

The only thing I can think if is some kind of template/chart so when we type in lab values etc it keeps it aligned?

The digestive improvement was actually a nice surprise. I have dealt with IBS for all of my life and i came to accept that is just “how I am” but after a short time taking the T3, my digestion/motility became what I believe most people experience. Not normal for me but what I’ve always thought...

The improvement was in better sleep, reduction in joint pain, improvement of brain fog, more tolerance to temperature variations and much better digestion/motility. --------------BEFORE CYTOMEL--------------RANGE--------------AFTER TSH-------------------1.55-------------------.32 - 4.0...

I am taking Cytomel (T3) at 10mcg/day (5mcg early morning and 5mcg early afternoon). Started due to lowish T3 and over-range rT3. This amount improves how I feel without significantly suppressing my endogenous production by any significant amount. My rT3 has come well into range and my TSH and...

Apparently there is a lot of commonality in symptoms of low E2 and high E2.

I have not had a change in E2 (at least nothing apparent) and am approaching 1 year on 5mg/daily Cialis

... also just my experience here, but 5mg/daily of Cialis does not seem to affect my E2 at all?

MH, Scrotal application is known for increasing DHT which can supposedly lower E2... I'm no expert but have read that here. Not sure if it is because both E2 and DHT are made by converting T .... so i guess more to DHT means less to E2? Hopefully a more knowledgable member will confirm or...
