Been on 1.5 years and have found I feel best between 800-900, with anything over that having diminishing returns. I'm not sure if the "hobby" part was intended as snark, but I don't think it's unreasonable to make sure medication is effective at keeping me where I feel best, which is not mid...

Now that I'm looking into it, Rite-Away Pharmacy is who TRT Nation has started using, and there's a possibility they may be under-dosing their test.

I suppose what I'll do is hit compliance with my CPAP hard and try going IM when I get back from Denver. The question is how much will a week at elevation impact my RBC count. The bastards hang around so long once they're produced.

I just compare the number of events or AHI to what my test showed prior to getting a CPAP. I even import the data from the CPAP into an opensource software to look at the chart. My HGB and HCT have improved over time with treatment. Last CBC showed 17.7 and 52.2%. I'm okay with anything under...

Did a sleep study, and found out that I have moderate sleep apnea, which I'm treating. CBC has improved, so I believe having untreated OSA was causing an elevation for sure. Just trying to figure out what to try next. Been a delicate balance between dosages/T levels, and CBC-related stuff...

Was doing 100mg/week IM split into 2 doses, and my numbers were okay around 750 and 154, but my RBC count, HGB, and HCT were getting up there. Switched to subcutaneous after that, and thinking my levels could be a little lower injecting that way, raised it to 120mg/week. Hit 1000, and 180, but...

Been on TRT for almost a year and a half. Have tried different dosages and schedules, and found that everyday injections subcutaneously keeps my CBC in-check. However, I wasn't where I wanted to be at 70mg/week, and went back up to 100mg/week. 70mg week: 569 ng/dL total, 110 pg/mL free. 100mg...

Can't seem to really find a general consensus anywhere. Some people say DHT is important for a number of things and some say it isn't that critical after you finish developing. I started finasteride a couple of months ago, but I do not want this to be a discussion about the drug itself and its...

Thanks for this. Yeah, I honestly haven't even tested my SHBG since starting over a year ago. Now that I'm experiencing such a deviation, I guess that it's something I need to at least check periodically. I always do my TT/FT via LC/MS and Equilibrium Dialysis.

Test C in cottonseed oil from a compounding pharmacy (not UGL). No additional medications or supplementation. Both results from the same vial.

When you say "insult" to the liver, I'm assuming this means stress or injury? In that case, serum levels would be higher (the opposite of my experience)? Just making sure I'm understanding correctly. I will probably test my SHBG again with my next round of labs.

Is this after opening/puncturing? I've only seen years in regards to properly stored, unopened vials.

Just curious, what biological changes could occur in 20 weeks that would result in a 30% decrease in TT?

So I'm going on 6 months of using a vial. Since I only inject ~80mg/week, it takes forever to get through a 10ml vial. On my most recent TT/FT test, my levels had quite a significant drop off without a change in dosage. There seems to be no general consensus on expiration on a vial once...

I've seen some oral form going around from Maximus that's supposedly proprietary or something. People seem to get good results with it. I got my HCT/HGB under control with subq and everyday dosing. I just gotta go back to that. Oh, and start wearing my CPAP regularly again. Been bad about it, so...

I remember seeing that you do a site rotation that includes both IM and SubQ. That actually might be the best middle ground in terms of stability and feeling, assuming that better feeling is associated with IM. Best of both worlds. I think I might be peaking hard on IM with a fast taper, and...

This is on Test C. I felt kind of "bleh" after months on subQ and seemed to feel better a few days after switching back to IM. That kind of faded out after a while. Went back to subQ and feel fine now. Perhaps that feeling of emotional blunting was situational. Not sure yet. The differences...

I made a post a while back about switching from SubQ to IM due to emotional blunting/flatness. It seemed to help, so I stayed on IM for 8-10 weeks. Then, I got some bloods taken and these were the results. Both were using the same dose and schedule. Everyday injections at 70mg/week total. Blood...

Update: I actually did some follow up blood work after about 8-10 weeks after switching back to IM. I'll try to create a post outlining the results later today.

Red blood cells hang out for around 120 days, so this would be my thought as well. Also, I would be interested in seeing how much his RBC count and HGB tracked with that hematocrit. That would give more insight.

120mg M/W/F SubQ HGB: 18.8 HCT: 56.7% 70mg ED SubQ 50 Days in- the numbers above had stalled, with my HCT coming down more than HGB. 100 Days in HGB: 17.7 HCT: 53.2% Hard to know which played a role in the reduction, since I went ED at the same time as a reduced dose. I'd assume the...

Was actually wondering if anyone did a mix of IM and subQ. Have never done VG, only delts, stomach fat, and quads. What size needle do you use for your VG? I've used 1/2 30g insulin syringes for everything.

Been on for about 10 months and have tried multiple frequencies, administration sites, and dosages. All of these trials were based on the need to control elevated H&H. The one that did the trick in mitigating it was daily subcutaneous injections totaling 70mg/week. Labs for this protocol were...
