    Managing the Testosterone-to-Estradiol Ratio in Men on TRT

    Copy. I am on all three of those. 16mg daily test cyp (going back to IM), 500iu HCG 2x per week, and daily 2.5 mg tadalafil.

    Managing the Testosterone-to-Estradiol Ratio in Men on TRT

    Great info, thank you Nelson! Regarding this part: "They reported that the frequency of morning erections was highest when the T:E ratio after therapy was around 12:1 or greater – in fact, through ROC analysis they identified a ratio of approximately 12 as the cut-off associated with normal...

    Shallow Testosterone IM versus SubQ Injections - Lab Results

    Interesting. Hey Madman! Thank you for sharing. I'm not sure if you've had a chance to review the post I put up the other day or not, but would love your feedback if you have the time/bandwidth to review it. I can anticipate some of your suggestions after reading your replies to some other...

    Shallow Testosterone IM versus SubQ Injections - Lab Results

    100%. I actually look forward to the small daily injections. I love the concept/idea of subQ and would prefer to not inject directly into my muscles 365 days/year. My "problem" is that I don't have a lot of fat on my abdomen so I end up basically alternating between my love handles. I don't...

    Shallow Testosterone IM versus SubQ Injections - Lab Results

    I wish that I had started TRT on strictly SubQ so that I wouldn't have something to compare it to lol. From a clinical perspective, I understand why it is attractive; it achieves steady state testosterone levels within therapeutic levels. It appears it just doesn't "feel" as impactful for a...

    Nice. I have used CJC and BPC in the past, as well as TB 500. TBH, I noticed benefits with CJC and low dose HGH (back when I had access to pharmaceutical grade pens and the budget to support it). If I could afford to run low dose 2-3iu of HGH year round, I would. I'm honestly not sure if the...

    Shallow Testosterone IM versus SubQ Injections - Lab Results

    Mark, I have no idea if you are still visiting this forum or not, but I thought I'd chime in. I recently did a similar experiment that I posted about, and I had almost identical results switching from daily IM to daily subQ. Fascinating that one little adjustment makes such a big difference on...

    Thank you for these suggestions. I do not think that I aromatize a lot via subQ, and my joints seem to feel worse when estradiol is less than 30. My most recent labs were 20 after a month of subQ, so it seems that I may need more aromatization to occur via IM to offset the slightly AI effects...

    What is your current protocol (dose, frequency, etc.)? Are you injecting IM or subQ?

    Updated Labs - Help Please

    Copy that. I am considering switching to EOD or E3D for a bit to see how things respond. Would you suggest taking the current dose (16-18mg) and simply x 2-3 to arrive at the EOD or E3D dose? E.g. 32-36mg for EOD or 58-54mg for E3D? Regarding HCG, I am going to go back to 1000iu per week...

    Thank you Vince. I actually got my protocol from reading about yours last year. It's been good - just trying to find that sweet spot where libido and all other things are subjectively as "optimal" as possible on the lowest effective dose. I'm wondering if I am primary hypogonadal since...

    Updated Labs - Help Please

    Hey guys! I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out because I just had some recent labs done for my annual physical/checkup through my primary care doctor, and I am genuinely surprised at the results. I posted my previous labs on another thread, and I will put them below again as well...

    Trying to control E2 via Fat loss, Daily injections, Calcium D-Glucarate, Metforming and Cialis

    Hey Nelson! I do not want to hijack this thread at all. I'm going to do more research over the weekend to see what else I can find on the site, but thought I'd ask you if there was a specific ratio of T:E that you (or clinicians) find to be optimal? I had some additional labs pulled this...

    Difference between daily IM vs daily SubQ?

    Yes sir. I used to be a competitive bodybuilder. I've gone through a pretty significant transformation after I stopped competing 5 years ago and have lost more and more size through a combination of eating like a more normal human being (e.g. not slamming 250g of protein every day), and...

    Difference between daily IM vs daily SubQ?

    This is encouraging to read. I would very much like to eventually be on the lowest possible effective dose. I'll slowly make my way there after giving the HCG switch time to level out before making any more tweaks. I know this isn't really related to the current thread, but just a weird...

    Difference between daily IM vs daily SubQ?

    I tried propionate last year and it gave me racing heart rate, higher BP, and I was crashing by the end of the day on 10mg. At some point I might give it another try, or a mixture of propionate + cypionate, but for now I'm not going to add that variable into the mix since I'd like to try and...

    Difference between daily IM vs daily SubQ?

    @Willyt - hey sir! I hope you're doing well. Quick follow up on your protocol if you don't mind sharing? Did you start off on a higher ED dose before you lowered down to 10mg/day? Are you also taking HCG? I'm going through the fun of trying to get things dialed in on a daily protocol; I...

    Beard growth/face changes and TRT protocol - just me?

    Thank you everyone! This is great feedback. @FunkOdyssey - I am going to switch back to IM (or at least rotate it in) starting tomorrow. I seem to be one of the guys that "feels" better mentally with IM injections. My mood fell off a cliff over the past 24 hours, and I'm not feeling the...

    Beard growth/face changes and TRT protocol - just me?

    Copy. One of the things I've been interested in trying to find out is if there is an optimal ratio of testosterone to its metabolites (DHT & estradiol), and if some guys need more time between injections to allow for that process to take place to get the full benefits. Do you have any thoughts...

    Beard growth/face changes and TRT protocol - just me?

    Hey gents! I have what may be considered a hair-brained question (no pun intended). Has anyone noticed a difference in facial hair/body hair growth rate - and/or facial structure differences - depending on their injection frequency? I have been adhering to a protocol very similar to the...
