I think they all do or try to accomplish the same thing. I tried multiple options and this one was the most simple and easiest for me to use. Keep in mind, it sucks at first, and your jaw will be sore and your bite will be off for the first 30 mins in the morning, so chew carefully. I also saw...

It’s only been two weeks since using, but this has been the best I’ve felt mentally and physically in 20+ years. Almost trt honeymoon period feeling. Had multiple sleep studies done, all showing minor to moderate snoring, but not enough to label sleep apnea or get a cpap. Have been on and off...

Figured I’d float this out there. I tore some of the cartilage in my knee (in the trochlear groove specifically) a couple years ago playing volleyball and the pain has been getting worse and limits my activity more and more. I’m 39 and multiple orthos have told me I’m basically screwed and the...

I have been wanting to do a full GI test. Did you do this through dr or order these online?

What did you end up trying?

Try changing shoes too if you haven’t. I got some adidas that seem to have way more heel support and padding

I had similar, I play a lot of volleyball and had this on and off for 10+ years, but this year got so bad I was also contemplating surgery. Followed much of what I found in this video, focusing on the slow negative calf raises 4x a day and within a month huge improvement and now playing...

Yes, and they typically present around 3 months after I resume the TRT. When I go off, my joints usually begin to feel better within a few days to a week

I wonder the same and have a completely unfounded theory that some of the following could contribute to joint pain: high HCT - maybe less blood/nutrients getting into the joints. Reaction to carrier oils. Dehydration - my skin and hair seem quite a bit drier on T therapy, and my urine is darker...

You said you made the drop to 52mg seven weeks ago, at what time did your libido jump?

I did try scrotal application a little over a year ago for a month or so, same story not great libido and got lightheaded quite often. I'll have to go back and find my labs on my levels then but my goal was always to dose and have my levels around 800. I did androgel on and off for around 9...

After being off TRT for close to a year and trying enclomiphene and clomid a few times, I have decided to try TRT again. On either therapy I had poor energy and low libido, lost most of my muscle, etc. I started using the cream about 7 weeks ago from Med quest, applied daily to my inner...

I will say that I had switched to natesto last year for a couple months and it inadvertently ended up being somewhat of a hpta restart as I had a knee surgery and got a awful cold after, in which I couldn’t administer the natesto for over a week, and decided to try a restart. On and off shots...

Figured I'd give another update. Had labs pulled a couple weeks ago from Quest and here's where I landed: Total T - 392 Range 250-1100 Free T - 97 Range 35-155 TSH - 1.62 Range .4-4.5 DHEA - 287 Range 106-464 These are the only applicable values I got, she didn't pull SHBG, prolactin...

My current doctor is not a top of the line expert to be honest. But they cooperate and are pretty open minded. Her thoughts were to give it a solid 2-3 months for first lab pull then wait another 4-6 months. I ended up pulling my first total test lab around a month out and she wants me to do a...

Still chugging along. I’d guess that I probably am about as recovered as I’ll get, my dr wants to do labs in a couple months, although I’ll probably pull a few of the basics on my own from discount labs. energy is decent, libido is decent, strength and body comp hasn’t done much, although I...

How many weeks are you out now including the restart? If it helps I am about 10 weeks out from getting off T with no PCT and I feel pretty damn good overall surprisingly. However, I had been on androgel and injections for many years, did a clomid restart and got my sperm count back up but felt...

I will try to update this as I continue. I am 6-7 weeks into a spur of the moment restart and I intend to get a full lab panel done in another couple months. I have made a few posts here on a couple restart attempts and other various things that many of us have gone through. 37 years old, 6'1...

Purely my anecdotal experience but I tried daily prop for about 6 weeks and had crazy headaches and neck aches almost every day starting about 2 weeks in. I was doing am injections of 12mg and headaches normally started around lunchtime. When I stopped the prop they went away within two days and...

After about 10 days of enclomiphene I’m feeling a little worse. Little more aches, less libido, less energy. I’ve had very busy active days but had a few days rest here and there and not feeling great. Contemplating going back to standard clomid for a few more weeks or riding out with...

Encouraging to hear others are doing well also after TRT. I started enclomiphene today at 25mg and will report updates along the way.

Got my labs back from Tuesday which is about 5.5 weeks from my last injection. Still feeling better overall. I’m still doing clomid 25mg/day LH 6.5 Range 1.5-9.3 fSH 2.8. Range 1.6-8 TT 547. Range 250-1100 FT 92.4. Range 35-155 Estradiol ultra sensitive 23. Range <29 DHT 39...

This is purely my subjective opinion: I believe there is another factor other than the typical "you have low E" comments from most. When I look back in time from my years on and off TRT I would go through periods of achy joints, mostly first thing in the morning, and an overall feeling that I...

Week 4 update Not a ton to update as there hasn’t been major changes from the last updates. Less overall anxiety and better at coping and talking through things when something comes up. This equates to managing stress better. Weight is holding now at 5lbs under trt weight. I’m going to get labs...

2.5 Week update A continuation of my original update, all noted symptoms are still similar: Mood and energy have been still better, although i have been getting fatigued a bit more than last week in the afternoon, but honestly still better than while on TRT Joint aches and pains have reduced...

Updated background info and stats

This will serve as my log for my attempted hpta restart. Stats: 36 years old 175lbs 6”0 Have always had very thin legs and could always add size/muscle to my upper body much easier than legs BF ? But I’m very lean Last two sperm analysis came back sterile Have been on and off androgel for 6...

I’m still struggling with finding a balance. Everything seems to come with major pros and cons for me with all protocols and what works for some clearly does not work for all. Very frustrating to say the least

I’ve been back to the typical protocol of test cyp and hcg split into two injections per week for about 2 months now. 100mg test and 800iu hcg per week. Typical honeymoon period of feeling above average for several weeks and now back to lethargy, brain fog, low libido, etc. I just got my labs...

I am looking to mix cyp and prop at home to make my own blend to experiment. After trying many different protocols I am currently doing the typical protocol of cyp at 100mg and Hcg at 700iu per week Split into two injections Monday morning and Thursday night. I did a trial daily run of daily...

Did the shedding stop when you stopped the hcg in Sept or did it stop more recently? Also, did you use any other things like minoxidil or supplements?
