I recently was able to view lab results from 2018 to present day. Every time I have had lab work done (hormone panel) my SHBG is always higher than it should be. The higher than normal value presented even before I tried self prescribed TRT. 2018 (prior to testosterone) - Testosterone 26.9...

So I have a doctors app next week. I'm going to ask for some lab work. For the last several months I have had very diminished libido. I have mentioned this in previous posts - I dabbled with self prescribing testosterone. My last injection was nearly a year ago (Feb 2022). I kept it on the low...

I have posted on this board in the past regarding TRT and libido. I had briefly dabbled with self prescribed TRT a few years back. It was initially amazing (honeymoon) with regards to energy and libido but that quickly paled in the face of the negative sides I experienced. I ultimately stopped...

Just curious. I am 55. Over the last few years I've developed some bph symptoms. The usual, up a few times through the night, bit of dribble etc...I started taking an otc supplement "Super Prostate" from Webber Naturals. It contains Saw palmetto liposterolic extract 125mg, Stinging nettle...

So I've been off testosterone for four months. Didn't do much of a PCT. Tried clomid briefly - it was awful, tried a few test booster and "pct" supplements - who really knows if they work or not. I'm not feeling awful but I am feeling sub-par. Still trying to work out at least 5 times a week...

Just wondering if there would be any benefit (or harm) with a once weekly 25mg dose of Clomid? I've been off test (80mg test-cyp weekly) for over 3 months now. I'm feeling better (although my desire for sex is quite low)...After stopping the test, I initially started CLomid 12.5mg daily then eod...

I am throwing this question to the vast amount of knowledge on this board. My last Test-Cyp injection was February 4th (75mg, shallow IM, which I had been injecting weekly for less than 2 months). I had started low dose clomid (25mg eod) but stopped that 4 weeks prior to scheduled blood work...

Hi all, I have been looking into Proviron as of late as I have been experiencing lower than normal libido. I dabbled with low dose testosterone cycles over the past few years as my test levels indicated low normal. I am currently not taking anything and haven't for a few months now. I really...

Has anyone experienced eczema like skin issues while on TRT? I don't mean injection site issues like redness and inflammation but systemic hive like, extremely itchy raised lesions on the back, chest, right and left flank. I have been off TRT for a few months now and the issue has increased. The...

Just throwing another question to the masses. I am currently into my third week of Clomid only, post a two month (or so) duration of self administered TRT (75mg weekly test-e). I started a week after my last injection with 12.5mg of Clomid daily (week 1) then upped it to 25mg daily from week 2...

So here I am again...let's just say I'm a living breathing definition of insanity. I have been jumping on and off the TRT train for the last three years or so hoping for a different outcome each time... I jump on... experience sides, adjust my dosage and injection protocol...but in the end I...

I currently inject 100mg Test-cyp weekly. Shallow IM. Every Friday. I have been finding lately that the few days prior to my injection is when I am feeling the best. Increased libido, energy, focus etc...Could this be indicative that my test is too high and as it levels out towards the end of...

Just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience. I am "self dosing" testosterone cyp. Weekly shallow IM injections of 87.5mg. The first 3-4 weeks were great. Libido and energy took quite a jump. Going in to weeks 5-6 things started slowing down, especially the libido. I have read in...

This is simply a question/observation I am throwing out to the masses. I had been self dosing testosterone e last year for about six months. Approximately 80-100mg weekly - shallow IM. Stopped the first week of November due to some unwanted sides. No PCT. I did start taking a test booster...

Just curious, has anyone ever experienced what is called dermatographia while taking testosterone injections? I was injecting test-e subq (80-100mg weekly) for the last five months or so and have developed an interesting skin reaction. Basically I can take a retracted ball point pen and write my...

So I have been self dosing testosterone-e since June of this year. Average 80-100mg weekly subQ injections. I’m ready to stop as I feel the negative effects are beginning to outweigh the positives. I’m 53, fit, muscular, active. Try to eat healthy. I initiated trt after experiencing the usual...

Been on low to average dose test-e since June of this year. Weekly injections 90-100mg. Felt great for the first few months. Libido increased, energy, clarity, over all sense of well-being. The last couple of months have not been as great. Feeling worse than before trt. I'm getting this strange...

Does exogenous testosterone, no matter the dose completely shut down the natural production of testosterone. I was talking to a physician about this at one time and he said no it doesn't. But that is in contrast to a number of articles I've come across. If a person (say age 53) self prescribes...
