    Anyone else seen a jump in resting heart rate ? Mine has gone from around 75 to 90bpm. It’s a little scary sometimes.

    Clomid fixes my prostate problems

    Well I can’t say for sure but clomid generally increases test if your testes are capable of producing it . And I seriously doubt that 5 mg every few days would have an effect on test either way. All I know for sure is that it has an immediate and positive effect for me .

    New to trt. Sleep is awful . Thoughts on this protocol please.

    I did get all that blood work. Don’t have it with me but test , free test we’re both extremely low. I’m working with defy and they are the ones who started me on this regiment . I think I’m going to drop the ai and the arimidex as well as lower the test dosage and see where it lands .

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
