    Regular testosterone test overestimates hypogonadism in men compared to the LC-MS/MS assay

    I wonder if this is why, when I used Cypionate at beginning dose even below the starting recommended amount my total and free just skyrocketed in short order. And why I felt like crap. Nelson's point (question above), becomes somewhat critical then. @Nelson Vergel: "With multiple daily...

    Regular testosterone test overestimates hypogonadism in men compared to the LC-MS/MS assay

    That would be the Holy Grail for me and a lot of others I’d imagine. Very interested if anyone has achieved that long term. Heck, I’ll take short term.

    Regular testosterone test overestimates hypogonadism in men compared to the LC-MS/MS assay

    I appreciate the detailed information , madman. Very informative. Quoting above: ...High FSH levels indicate seminiferous tubule dysfunction (reflecting reduced inhibin B negative feedback) and impaired sperm production but is a more sensitive indicator of primary testicular... Could this be...

    Regular testosterone test overestimates hypogonadism in men compared to the LC-MS/MS assay

    @madman Could I get your opinion on these values, as to whether one would consider TRT? And why my LH and FSH are high? Hematocrit 43.7 Estradiol 14 pg/mL (Ultrasens,LC/MS) FSH 21.5 mIU/mL LH...

    HCG to combat testicular atrophy and low libido

    I take 25mg DHEA and 50mg Pregnenolone. But, start with 25mg for a few months and see how you feel. It's a problem when people add too many supplements without taking a long enough stepped approach. My libido is now better than when I was on TRT. Doing things to increase circulation has also...

    Regular testosterone test overestimates hypogonadism in men compared to the LC-MS/MS assay

    The point was certainly true when I compared the Kyzatrex ADX Card method to the LC-MS of blood draw. 910 compared to 764, respectively for total T and 170 compared to 90 for free T.

    KYZATREX (oral testosterone undecanoate) Updates

    I'm that familiar with oxandrolone-will look in to that. Tried Clomid but it raised E2 significantly but did nothing for T or T free. My FSH, LH are high end, so I assume the brain is in overdrive telling the testes to ramp up production but, the Leydig cells are reduced due to age so limited...

    KYZATREX (oral testosterone undecanoate) Updates

    Here's an update FYI. Just out of curiosity, I did the Kyzatrex Lab test kit above. But also did Quest Lab (through Discounted Labs of Course). Both labs were completed within 1 hour of each other 8am and 9am. Values are in same format for both. Only, diff is I used LC/MS in Quest where it...

    Hesitating on TRT, Does Anyone Have Regrets?

    I didn't think it was possible to have exogenous T at any level without shutting down your own T, even incrementally. Supposedly the oral forms have less impact on shut down, but I haven't seen research on any specific values or proportionality. Sure would be holy grail for me. Maybe Madman...

    Hesitating on TRT, Does Anyone Have Regrets?

    Looking at your description, if that were me, I would first try some OTC products to stimulate testosterone, gain some weight through slightly more but better eating (red meat, high density nutrition foods) and lift fewer reps but heavier weight as opposed to endurance type exercise. I'd give...

    WAS: 5 months post stopping TRT cold turkey bloodwork , NOW: Wife No Longer Wants Sex

    Interesting food for thought. Why would a man, or would not, consider just joining his partner in not having sex? How motivated would you be if you were not on TRT? Do you think you would feel the same at age 70, 80, 90? Is your marriage based on love or sex? What do your marriage vows mean...
