    The Shocking Truth Between Testosterone and Prostate Cancer

    Reading this and seeing these doctors is frustrating as I was told to stop TRT because of one area showed a very low gleason score. Want to do surveillence IF I stop all TRT. I don't know how I get a doctor to see recent data and not fire me as a patient. Pretty much do prostate treatment or...

    My Experience On Jatenzo (Oral TRT) Log

    When do you take your doses? I wonder how early in the afternoon a dose could be taken so night time levels are not too high. Also, do you know your peaks and troughs? Time of day taken? Is Jatenzo always a twice a day dose? Thank you.

    Help with free test levels

    I have a couple of questions please. I watched a video of Dr. Sun and one thing he said was that the side effects were due to too high of Total T. I don't understand this at all. Another question is you mentioned the rough ride when lowering dose. Why is this? Naturally, we have a high in...

    TRT Dose question

    This makes me feel it's not in my head. I have lowered doses that don't seem like much but have profound all around effects (most negative to combat the sleeping issue). Since it is Test Cyp I thought changes would be smooth but that is not the case. I figured the longer the ester the...

    TRT Dose question

    I do deltoid now, shallow IM, 29 gauge/1/2 inch. My sleep when bad doesn't seem to make much of difference whether peak or trough. It's like I hit too high of a level of free T and bam. I end up getting aggressive, jumpy and then sleep goes to hell. Labs show my free T has jumped when this...

    TRT Dose question

    I also have good levels on low doses. On 52 mg/wk (EOD) my free was 180 at trough (240 max range). Not something I need to be to get sleep. Recently adjusted down too and looking to lower my trough. Moving down is rough as is moving up on dose for me. What is your free T at 50 mg/wk? I am...

    Oral Testosterone for All: Why Diet Alone Won’t Fix Your Health

    I have listened to portions of the Dr. Khera interview and it was interesting that he thought a total of 400 to 450 reached saturation. My only concern with Kyzatrex is I go from a long ester (test C) to a peak followed by a very low trough with orals. Not sure I quite get how such a low...

    Oral Testosterone for All: Why Diet Alone Won’t Fix Your Health

    Have you tried Kyzatrex? I have an appointment coming up in 10 days and may ask for a trial. For some reason my levels went down 50% after getting a new compounded prescription. Been going trough hell with levels dropping.

    Testosterone Quality Issue?

    Hello: I wasn’t sure where to post this but with some recent labs I am wondering about the quality of my compounded testosterone cyp. I had been using an expired vial until February and was doing fine. I had a new prescription and during the next few weeks after starting I began to feel not so...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    Where can I get Test P? Seems like it is hard to find. I was hoping Defy had it but I don't see it on their website. I would defintely do two shots, no big deal for me to inject. I do shallow intramuscular injections. Thank you.

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    Hello Guys: I have an update and am hoping for some advice. I have been on around 53 to 55 mg/wk for over a year and started having the same insomnia, shakiness, anxiety I did when I was on 80 mg/wk. More night sweats and peeing alot too. Labs showed my free jumped back up at trough to what...

    I was wondering if any members use L plantarum PS128 for mental health?

    I should add that i have had anxiety all of my life. Secondary hypo with very little LH being produced. TRT has done wonders for my anxiey and resilence since it appears I always had low free and total.

    I was wondering if any members use L plantarum PS128 for mental health?

    I use all kinds of probiotics. I think the gut is so vital to our mental and physical health. Miso soup, natto, yogurt, yukult, saurkraut, kombucha, etc.,

    Initial reaction?

    Based on my levels it really isn't low dose and on what the male body actually produces naturally. That said, it's my opinion, but i am doing well and holding well with this protocol for almost a year now. I also inject shallow IM in the glutes. I do bloods in a week or so. I think maybe...

    Initial reaction?

    Been stable for months now, actually since the new year so I am very happy. How are you doing? I still read a lot hear just haven't posted in quite some time.

    Initial reaction?

    I was on 80 mg/wk for a year and my free shot up. I could tell over the course of the year on 80 mg/wk I just started to feel more tired and then slowly had more irritability, then insomnia hit. I lowered a few times and settled at 53 mg/wk. My sleep improved, tiredness diminished greatly and...

    The benefits of low dose T injections . . .

    I cannot take high levels. I started on once a month shot and it was a disaster. Peaks were crazy and then I would crash. Emotionally I was getting destroyed. So when I started injections Defy had me start EOD and maybe do once a week at 3 days to make it the same. I just did EOD, I learned...

    HELP - Doubts about TRT

    On 80 mg/wk I was sitting at around 180 free (240 max) and 650 total (900 max) and that is at trough. Those are pretty accurate but I will be getting new tests in a month or so. It's feeling and then figuring out what to do, go up or down. Insomina, anger/agitation, anxiety, rising estrodial...

    HELP - Doubts about TRT

    Just my two cents. Start around 50 mg/wk. Keep that for 12 weeks and then evaluate again. I started around 80 to 90 and have moved down to 53 mg/wk. It's done wonders for my anxiety. For me, too high and too low feel very similiar. Some differences but in many ways very similiar

    The benefits of low dose T injections . . .

    I am on around 53 mg/wk and started close between 80 and 90. Managed that for a year but SHBG lowered and side effects became intolerable (anger, thinking of sex 24/7, no sleep, shakiness, anxiety, brain fog). I have been on a lower dose since around Christmas and feel so much better. Energy...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    I have been on the new dose for 12 weeks. I had a bunch of dental work done so I waited until I was over that before getting new levels. Overall the new dose has been better for erections, mental clarity and I am not so tired all of the time as I was on 80 mg/wk so going down was the right...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    Short update as I am waiting for my test levels but I went down to 63 mg/wk and over time things improved well. Little bit of strange physical symptoms but seemed to stabilize. I fet a little off with sleep late last week and had bloods taken and my estrodial went up to 34 from 28 after going...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    Thank you for the information and encouragement. It is quite frustrating finding what works isn't it? I was suprised as I thought after a year I was good but then levels just went up. Even not sleeping much last night I had a short nap and feel pretty good with minimal anxiety which was...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    Thank you systemlord. Should I worry that my hemocrit is up to 50.9%? That was even after the drop in dose. Last night I just laid there and didn't get much sleep if at all. Going to take all of the meditation and such to get over the hump. At least today the naseau is better and the shakes...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    Well Guys, Here is my status: After lowering my dose 20% (test cyp) after about 5 days I was sleeping and feeling better but over time things are not going well, nausea, sleep problems, and anxiety. It has been 5 weeks with it progressively getting worse over the last 3. My choices seem to be...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    Thank you for posting that for me. I appreciate it. It was a very good read with lots of good advice. Madman had a point in there that I wish I would have known before changing my doese down 20%. I should have gone 10% and I probably wouldn't have had such a hard time during the adjustment...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    How did you decide on enanthate? Do you mind telling me your dosing frequency and levels since that is a big jump if you couldn't handle test cyp. I considered Test P since it is a shorter half life and thought maybe it is better since I maybe able to mimic normal outputs. I tried Atrevis...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    I definitely developed word recall issues when I was on 80mg/wk. found myself stumped a lot. That is better on the lower dose for sure. I found myself speaking in simpler terms to if that makes sense. I should say I believe one needs to look at blood levels and not just the amount we are...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    Hey guys, it has been 4 weeks since I lowered my dose and I have good things and then something I can only describe as a type of withdrawl. I think I should have lowered it by 10% instead of jumping to 20%. For the bad. Nausea! Felt like I was going to throw a couple of times. Just out of...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    I just got my labs back from when I was taking around 80 mg/wk. Total was 655 (300 to 890) and free was 179 (47 to 244). It's been a week since I lowered to 63 mg/wk and I skipped one dose. Sleep slowly got better and the last 2 to 3 nights it has been very deep and restfull. All the sides...
