Alcohol and diet. If you don’t fix that... you will keep chasing cures.

Scary stuff. I know that drinking beer raises my E. But I done suffer if my E goes up. I experienced low E once, and stopped AIs immediately. My E is close to 50 and it goes up with the beer. So you could start a soy milk in the morning, beer in the evening regimen, for a couple of weeks.

No roid rage here. Just on edge due to local issues.

Yep. Im on edge most of the time so thats adding to everything. I have notice a bit of impatience on my part. Lets face it, were all being weaponized in some kind of way. Its not a peaceful time. I cant travel to my get away in Mallorca, because of how we handled Covid19. Im losing money every...

At 100mg a week, Id increase it and take cialis to lower bp. Youre prolly not getting enough androgens. Higher doses make me feel coolheaded. Im at 175mg currently. Sleep is good and the mind too.

Im not justifying anything. If he feels like shit, something has to give. Big muscles are a byproduct if you workout, but doubt most of us actually do workout properly. But back to health, going from 200mg a week to 100mg is torture, Dropping to 150mg and assessing would be a better way to...

200mg a week is overdosing? No way. 100mg a week is not enough to be okay either. I would drop to 160 or 150 but not down to 100mg

100mg a week in one shot is not exactly consistent regardless of half life. Were all outliers in some kind of way, plus you got older and change is in the cards. More frequent shots of test C will give you a better consistency. Sometimes more T is the answer. And your T levels are dynamic. They...

The most important thing here is, hydration. If you’re not hydrating enough before a blood test, forget about getting accurate numbers. Some people fast and dont hydrate before a BT. Water is the main component of plasma and if it isn’t replenished it can increase hematocrit. Start with that.

Just let your body do its thing. And take it easy... your body is asking you to.

Its temporary. Dont change a thing. Your body is simply going to take about a year to fully adjust. Drink plenty of water and keep banging away. I developed a sore elbow 2 months ago and Im still feeling it a bit, but its slowly getting better. During quarantine I was very active fixing things...

What time of day are you testing HCT? Are you hydrating enough before testing? My HCT is at 53 if I dont drink enough water before testing, and if I drink plenty of water it drops to 51. No need to donate, although I should for the sake of helping others.

Hydrate like crazy and sweat it out in a sauna if you can. This helps get rid of toxins that your body may be struggling with. You’re almost there.

Ill take my chances with healthy levels. Why risk having an unhealthy body to begin with?

First few months youre in flux. If youre only taking Test, your balls shut down, so expect things to change. HCG made my loads and intensity much better. It takes time.

Yikes! I hope youre not taking an AI. If you are just stop.

Ill have labs drawn in 3 weeks again. I only test once every 6 months. Last test it was close to 50, SHGB was 25. I take HCG and I drink beer. Estrogen is constantly spiking Im sure.

Wow... Estrogen might as well be covid19. It seems to be the cause of all symptoms. I have higher than normal E and ejaculate is just fine.

Ok... so try this. Keep your T dose where its at. Drop the HCG and let your balls go offline for 12 weeks. See if this helps. Its best to try the T in isolation so that you can rule out what is doing what. Dont stress about your balls, they will come back after a 12 week hiatus. After testing...

Like I said, forget the studies and all of the brainy stuff. Exhibit A: shows that my balls were non existent, and HCG at 100iu EOD brought them back. So it works. Youre right, Pulsations is not the correct word to describe it since a single shot does not mimic that.

I suck at math, so lets see if I have this right for 150mg a week. EOD breaks down into 3x one week and 4x the following week. So you have to work with it in two week intervals. 150x2weeks=300. 300 divided by 7 equals roughly 43mg. So you want to take 43mg EOD. My original protocol was 160mg a...

Absolutely. I went from almost no balls to normal sized balls that don’t sag,but are big enough to feel the difference. I dont pay too much attention to it anymore actually, mainly because they feel normal. Less is more when it comes to the stuff.

Halting TRT shouldnt be an option. Just add the HCG. Cant believe some guys on here are suggesting it.

HCG? AI? Or T only? Time of shots? You’re getting energy boosts and that messes with sleep. You’re becoming more alert due to the changes happening. Chances are you will notice a change in a few weeks once your balls shut down and you’re no longer producing natural T. So stick with the current...

Empower. Perhaps it works too well that it has side effects for some. When I started TRT, I was given Test C, HCG and Anastrozole all to be taken twice a week. I did this for 12 weeks and when the doc changed my protocol, I decided to drop HCG and the AI altogether while raising my T dosage...

Forget the studies. I take 350iu a week split into EOD, and getting all of the benefits from it. Start low with 100iu a week as stated earlier and work your way up. Dont sweat it.

libido is sometimes the last thing to improve. I use 1.25mg of Tadalafil daily and 2.5mg if Im going to have sex. Takes time. But it helps to take tadalafil so that you have random boners awake and asleep. This keeps your dick with a nice healthy flow of blood. Before you know it, months later...

OP. What side effects?

Without bloodwork you wont know. It took me over 3 months to stabilize without an AI. I did notice some bloat on some days. Day to day stuff is not how you should be gauging your TRT.

Hows Blood pressure? I’d drop AI. Daily? Wow thats a recipe for disaster. Take your T, split your HCG into EOD or daily shots, and lower it a bit. Estradiol is not your enemy.

Best thing would be to simply not take an AI and allow your body to figure out the balance. Manipulating E via AI is a vicious cycle of never getting it right. If T peaks, E follows.
