Anyone know if guys like Jay Campbell, Danny Bossa and all the no-AI bros in that Facebook group are talking about this? Love them or hate them, they have huge and loyal followings and could be very useful to the cause.

The government can suck my cock.

Your free test isn't really that high. It looks like you're using Quest's lab ranges, which are ridiculously low for free test. Yours would be 17.2 on LabCorp, with a range of 9-26 or so, putting you in the dead center. I'd split the difference between your previous dose that was returning high...

Why'd you stop the scrotal cream that seemed to be working so well?

Gil isn't a doctor.

Why do you want to change providers when 1) you feel great on your current protocol, and 2) the new provider is forcing you to do something that you know will make you feel like crap? Stopping TRT to get labs makes zero sense. You already know what the labs will show: little to no testosterone...

Dr. Keith Nichols (who, yes, I'm aware isn't highly revered in this forum) swears HCG isn't necessary as long as you optimize any and all upstream hormones that might be thrown off by TRT, e.g. pregnenolone. I tend to agree with this view, and while it might take some trial and error to get...

Mine is a little higher than yours—22 at last blood draw. But I'd had sex the night before. High prolactin can cause low libido in men, but is debatable how high the level needs to be to have an effect. Many doctors, for instance, don't believe in treating elevated prolactin unless the man has a...

Correct. Prolactin spikes immediately after you have an orgasm. It's why you typically aren't horny right after sex, an interval known as the "refractory period." While the post-sex prolactin spike is fleeting, the number can remain elevated for hours—or even a day or longer. I don't think...

Was the blood drawn during the week you were spanking it three times a day? Ejaculation can spike prolactin for 24-48 hours. Try going 72 hours without having sex or masturbating (if you can stand it) and retest. Also, your HDL needs to come up. Supplement 2 grams of fish oil or krill oil twice...

Is your clinic in Central Florida or the Orlando area? Mind sharing the name?

I've heard mixed information about sweating and exercise post-cream. One theory is it actually improves absorption by increasing blood flow and moistening the area. The other is that, like showering or swimming, it can cause some of the cream to wash off before it's fully absorbed. If you like...

Standard base from Empower but debating giving the Hydrogel a shot.

I was on it for over six months and felt better than I did on injections. I was taking it twice a day, which worked exceptionally well at first, but after a few months I started having a few of the issues you mentioned - mild anxiety and irritability, a bit of an overstimulating feeling. Looking...

Just switched back to it from injections and loving it so far. Only reason I went back to injections was that cream is a bit more of a pain in the ass to apply every day and I was slightly worried about transference during sex. But after researching I concluded that the fear of it rubbing off is...

The study I referred to earlier recommends 100mg per day if applied anywhere other than the scrotum. I think 50mg to the scrotum is the optimal starting dose for most dudes, to be adjusted up or down from there based on symptoms.

Try 50mg on the nutsack once a day in the morning. That's the dose that the Australian pharma CEO who funded the study depicted in my graph concluded was ideal for most men.

How much are you using per day? And have you had your levels tested at peak (3-5 hours after application)? The solution may be to just lower the dose.

I think you're onto something here. This graph shows the serum testosterone levels for up to 16 hours following a single application of scrotal T cream. Note that the highest dose on the graph is only 50mg, which is one-fourth what many people on this forum take, and levels are still elevated...

I hope the compounding pharmacies tell the FDA to toss their salad, and that they don't change a thing. Why should they face greater scrutiny than the Big Pharma giants that just settled a $26 billion lawsuit for sparking the opioid crisis?

The government really sucks hairy ass. I wish I had something more productive to add to this discussion, but that's really all I have to say.

I use GoodRx and pay $40 for a 10ml vial of testosterone and $12 for a 60-day supply of daily tadalafil. HCG I get from Empower since it's cheaper, but if I wanted the name brand (Pregnyl) I could get it with GoodRx for about $110 for 10,000IU.

I've seen a few posts here from members — most recently Nelson himself — who have started taking Trintellix for anxiety or depression and seen an improvement in libido and erections. One poster called it a "wonder drug" that cured his "erection-killing anxiety." Was wondering how many posters...

It is true if you live in Florida. Defy calls my meds in to my local pharmacy. The fee is $30 dollars, and they call in enough for six months of refills.

Isn't socialism great?

Do it. For every bro in these forums constantly tweaking his protocol and overanalyzing every sensation in his body throughout the day, convinced if he just increased his injection frequency by one more shot a week or tweaked his dosage by 10mg he'd hit that elusive sweet spot, then abandoning...

I'm curious about Trintellix, as you're at least the second poster on here who has reported positive effects from it at a low daily dose. Do you find it takes away situational anxiety (e.g., performance anxiety) or just that it lifts your mood overall? I'd love to know more.

DHT isn't your problem. There are guys on scrotal cream with levels five times what yours are. Your issue is likely that your free T is still suboptimal and you're oversuppressing estrogen. I'd bump the T dose up to 60mg 3x/week (the more frequent injections due to your low SHBG) and drop the...

Have you tried injecting twice per week instead of once? It'll help you keep your estrogen level down without an AI and give you a higher trough level of T.

1. Florida 2. Texas 3. Literally any other state but CA

Six months gives you enough time to move out of California and into a free state. Ron DeSantis (total T of 1000+ easily) would never pull something like that in Florida. Fair warning: If you move here from Cali, leave your Cali politics behind.
