In this recent article, Life Extension Foundation gives their views on proper estrogen management while on testosterone replacement therapy. I look forward to hearing others' thoughts. http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2014/jun2014_Misguided-Medicine_01.htm

A bit of background on my treatment here: https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?1432-Now-on-TRT-plus-HCG-to-preserve-fertility&p=8008#post8008 I just had my first round of follow up blood work since starting TRT. Dr. Lipshultz and I will review the labs Wednesday. I will post the...

Hello, This is not really testosterone related, but maybe it will be helpful for folks administering subcutaneous shots. I receive allergy shots a couple times a month, and they always administer subcutaneously with an insulin syringe, in the upper arm at the tricep. Immediately after the...

My wife and I are doing a round of IUI this month, so she was recently prescribed Ovidrel (brand name HCG). The dose is 250 mcg, and the cost will be $75. I'm guessing that's way overpriced, given that I take compounded HCG that costs $75 for 11,000 IUs. So, I'm thinking of just giving her a...

My wife recently received the results of a blood panel that stated that her free testosterone was "0" and her total testosterone was under the detectable range. Needless to say, this was somewhat alarming, but we don't want to do anything hasty, and since we're currently working on having a...

I have two questions about using testosterone gel, according to the recommendations provided by Dr. Crisler in his video (https://www.excelmale.com/?s=74-Dr-John-Crisler-ON-Transdermal-Testosterone) on transdermal testosterone. I’m about a week and a half in (nothing to report yet), and I want...

Hello, all. I am very excited to report that I started testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) on Saturday. After years of being tired and depressed with poor concentration and low libido, I was diagnosed as secondary hypogonadal about 15 months ago. Under the guidance of doctors, I have had...

I'm finally about to start TRT (and boy, am I ready), and I've done a fair amount of research on the pros and cons of injectable vs. transdermal TRT. So, I'm currently thinking I will start with a gel and then switch to injectables if, after sufficient time and tweaking, I don't feel optimized...

I've sent two private messages, but I see no evidence, as my sent box is empty. Does that mean that they weren't sent? Thanks. : )

I am secondary hypogonadal, and I currently take HCG monotherapy. Together with eating "paleo" and avoiding other foods I'm sensitive to, and focusing on better sleep, etc., I'm feeling more energetic, upbeat and focused. However, I'm still mildly depressed with very little libido, and I don't...

I have heard it touted that TRT may improve sleep quality. Has this been proven by research? And what is it about TRT that might lead to better sleep? Thanks, paco

Nelson and Gene, I'm loving the site! After many months of trying clomid monotherapy, then clomid plus HCG, then HCG mono and never feeling better, I'm just about ready to start TRT. I'd like to be better educated about gels vs. injections when I meet with the doctor. Can someone please...
