Hey guys, I was prescribed 10mg of Cialis to be taken as needed. The bottle says "THIS IS NOT A DAILY MEDICATION, DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN 1 TIME IN 48 HOURS". My question is, i see a lot of threads where people are taking this dosage daily, is it okay to do that?

The lowest weekly dosage i've tried is 56mg / week, daily low dose injections. I've done with and without HCG. HCG makes no difference for me.

Awesome, I understand exactly what you mean, and have become somewhat familiar with the pathways you outlined. Do you recommend any oral form of Prog? Not looking to get on more injectable medicine right now, LOL.

Never tried prog, but yesterday Dr. Saya actually recommended Pregnenalone. He said a similar thing about it, that it is a pre-cursor to allopregnanolone which is great for anxiety. Should I try the Preg or the Prog?

It works very fast, within 2-3 hours the anxiety/panic subsides. After 6-8 hours it's like i'm a different person. The peak of the AI is 24 hours after taking it, however it begins doing it's job right after taking it.

Hey guys, Looking to get some input. I am 34 years old, low SHBG (17-19), 160lb, athletic build. I've spent the last year experimenting different protocols to find one where I feel good/normal. Surprisingly, the closest I can get to feeling fine is on a single injection frequency, with AI every...

Sounds good!! Very happy to hear things are getting better for you.

@Nelson Vergel In this video you have with Dr. Crisler at the 33 minute mark he mentions BPH being a cause of unregulated estrogen. Did you guys ever discuss that in more depth?

Hey Nelson, i read the article, however frequent nocturnal voiding is not one of my issues. I only go once a night. All of the issues I outlined are daytime only - intermittence, urgency, frequency, strain (not nocturnal thank God). Stream stops on it's own, almost like something is...

I'm 34 years old. I've had almost identical issues since starting TRT. When I come off of TRT the problems go away. I am a low SHBG guy as well and have dropped my TRT dose in hopes to fix the urinary issues. So far I am down to 56mg/week from 200mg/week and still no improvement in the symptoms...

Glad to hear you’re doing better. So you come off TRT and everything is back to normal. I would never of guessed some people can’t handle TRT. Keep in mind its probably too soon to know if you will stay this way until your natural levels restart. I’d give it a few months then check your Test...

Sounds good. Also i don’t see Free Testosterone on your labs (maybe i missed it), its the most important one.

Your numbers look perfect actually. No idea what would cause the issues. Have you had neurotransmitters levels tested? That would be the next to check after your hormone panel. But we seem to have anxiety/panic in common. I can give you some insight as I did come off TRT for 6 months and then...

Blood was drawn at trough (Monday AM before injection)

I did 4 weeks with no AI and it was horrible. Panic attacks, crazy anxiety, bloated up like a whale, balloon face. E2 came back at 90. That's when I got back on the AI, been going in circles trying to find the right spot. I'm going to try 0.50mg / week and see how that feels.

The trend I'm noticing is: Friday-Sunday (Weekends) are horrible for me. It's almost as if I'm skipping the Thursday evening Test shot. Monday mornings I will be fine, Wednesday/Thursday being great, the rest of the days are brutal. I can't trace the exact pattern, but it's possible this is a...

Hey guys, I'm 33 years old. Next week will be 4 months since switching my Test Cyp protocol from 160 mg/week to 80 mg every 3.5 days. HCG 3x / week. Still not stabilized - severe anxiety / moodswings - 2-3 days out of the week I will feel great, 4-5 days horrible. Energy is great, sleep is...

Anybody?

Yes all of that is correct but what does that have to do with the thyroid? I am eventually going to drop my T-dose like we discussed but first i want to feel good. Hoping things stabilize as i approach 16 weeks (4 months) on this protocol. What are your thoughts on the thyroid numbers?

Hey guys, I'd like your input on whether I need Thyroid treatment or not. I'm 33 years old. My TSH has always been high since before starting TRT in my late twenties. I've posted all labs below in order from the most recent to the oldest. I am experiencing moodswings (2 days good, 5 days bad)...

Thank you for replying. I have no idea regarding my body fat levels. How do you check that and why is it relevant?

New E2 result is above. This was taken at trough on the start of my 10th week on the new dose (March 1, 2021). No HCG, No AI. The last hCG dose I took before getting the lab done was on Thursday 2/18/21.

How long do I stay off the HCG for it to reflect on the labs? In other words, starting tomorrow if I stop taking it, when should I get the bloodwork?

I use HCG strictly to prevent atrophy. I don’t want atrophy - should i drop the HCG to 250IU?

Lab results are above This was take at the start of my 7th week at TROUGH @ 0.4ml twice a week, no AI, HCG 500IU 3x a week No improvement in the BPH symptoms so far. Let me know what you think, and thank you =)

Quick update - over the last few days I definitely feel swelling in my lower extremities - legs, knees, feet, ankle. Feels like i'm carrying a tank around, lol From the research I have done on this forum this seems to be a side effect of E2 going up - nothing to be alarmed about?

I scheduled my appointment for the blood work. It will be at the start of the 7th week before my injection. Is the panel below the one to get? Panel: CBC, CMP, TT, FT, Lipids, Prolactin, Ultra Sensitive Estradiol, and SHBG

Per our discussion the last AI I took was on 1/11/21. (dropped it like we talked about) I felt great from 1/11-1/19. On 1/20 my mood tanked again with anxiety, depressed, feeling crazy emotional. 1/21 slowly feeling better 1/22 felt great again 1/23 evening had anxiety / panic attack 1/24...

E2 result just came in. It's low, please let me know what you recommend in terms of the AI dose

The tank in mood is hitting me hard, feels like withdrawal, almost like coming off T entirely. Tomorrow will be the start of the third week. Is this normal even when I have not dropped the dose, just changed the frequency?

I’m open to dropping the Test to 0.3ml twice a week. i know from experience it takes my mood 5-6 days to normalize when adjusting the AI dose. Do you recommend dropping the AI dose to 0.25mg ? Keep HCG the same?
