I think I can feel you. I'm a shorty. FunkyO, your superpower is your brain, embrace it. Good luck my friend!

Hey dear FunkyO, I would like to motivate you to prioritize this attempt (TRT based on HCG) in order to improve your libido. I personally believe that's more important than possible physique advantages of your current protocol.

"starting TRT (5 weeks ago)" Another idea: wait another month to let your body adapt to TRT

WIthout LH no .... see screenshot. That's a generalization and jumping to the conclusion that one needs HCG in order to have sufficient pregnenolone and dhea etc. Minute 36 Regarding estrogen, from in recall, you cited studies where high doses of AI are used such that estrogens conversion...

In most of the EU it's not available OTC

This study is from 2003. Very interesting. Strange it didn't come up earlier at excelmale.

If I don't rebuttal it seems like I agree? One needs to see the whole picture. Medicine and medical expertise is often split in organ systems. If you have no risk factors for cardiac disease but neurological diseases (where is your weakest link?), then I really disagree with abnormal high...

When I need to have to balance quality of life vs possible increased longevity.

Imo this is a over simplification and generalization. I believe we don't have proof for that if applied in the context of TRT within physiological range. Details matter. Dosage matters.

It was in response to the following: "On estrogen control, we aren't doing that here, because inhibiting aromatase in the brain often kills libido and is totally counterproductive, in addition to the other health risks associated with aromatase inhibition." "I agree though, that adjusting...

Don't get me wrong. It's great if HCG works for you, in whatever combination. I'm just sceptical when people seem to jump to conclusions and generalize them (sometimes Nelson did it when it comes to estrogen or hcg). Regarding Anastrozole and the brain or brain blood barrier: Here are key...

Do you know "your capacity to handle E2 without adverse effects or loss of symptomatic benefit."?

That "Janoshik-verified potent hCG" and the costs of hcg might be limiting for some men. Cortex also often mentioned estrogen control as a key factor. Yet another protocol on which he feels great... Good news if that hcg solves your libido problem!

Your fT3 is in the middle. This seems to be fine. I wouldn't mess around with it. TSH is good too.

Yes. Some men need 1000IU per week. Often discussed topic, you can find many threads here.

That's what our "big brother" thinks: "Rapid onset" cellulite in men is **uncommon** because the structure of male connective tissue (collagen bands running in a criss-cross pattern) and generally thicker skin make cellulite less prevalent and typically less severe than in women. True cellulite...

I find the rapid onset strange. Imo a dermatologist is the right expert to consult with.

Do you really mean cellulite or rather stretch marks? I think you should consult a dermatologist. https://drkellyann.com/blogs/news/cellulite-vs-stretch-marks

To me that seems like crazy talk. If I spin that further, that's why all women are ripped.

DeepSeek: methylene blue and hematocrit 1. **Laboratory Interference (Most Significant Impact):** * **How it Happens:** Methylene blue is a potent blue dye. Modern hematology analyzers measure hematocrit (Hct) indirectly, often using **photometric methods** (light absorption) or...

Probably same pros and cons as with T cream vs TE injections regarding hormones fluctuations and costs.

Yes. Yes. The stimulatory effect of T can cause anxiety in some men. Sometimes an imbalance of dht to e2 can cause anxiety. Most likely it's too much of either t, dht, or e2. Lowering the dose should ease/resolve the anxiety. You can increase the dose later, if needed. Your body/brain might need...

Maybe less fT is reduced or aromatised? That's another piece of the puzzle, unfortunately many claim that fT is increased because shbg is lowered (correlation). Isn't anybody in this forum who tested this by measuring free T, E2, DHT? Is there even a test for free DHT? Whenever I added...

Yes, and so are the shipping costs to Europe (50$).

Really?

Correlation vs causation The causation model is complex. There are HRT experts that prescribe proviron to increase fT and I believe them when they claim that they observed a steady increase of fT (vs a transient increase) while having a continuous (daily) additional input of exogenous hormones.
