I’m still doing heavy strength training and mostly carnivore diet with intermittent fasting.

Yes. 10 points lower. Free Test went from 221 on 2x a week to 193 ed shots

I think I’ll just stick to where I am at at this point and see how it goes for the next few months. Try to drop some body fat and hope that helps lower it

I dropped my hematocrit almost 10 points. I went crazy hydrating a day before the blood test as well as the daily injections. Could it be that just the hydration did it or both?

That’s what I was hoping to hear.

I’m just worried that having my estrogen so high I might have some long term health issues. I also have about 20% BF. I definitely need to drop some. I’m hoping doing so will help lower it too.

SHBG was 13 on stage 2. It looks like they forgot to request it fir my last test (stage 3).

I am starting to get frustrated about my blood work and my progress on modifying my TRT protocol. I listed my process as stages lol. Stage # 1: 200mg Test Cyp weekly. split to 2 X a week injections IM) with Arimidex .5mg 2x a week. My blood work was a mess. RBC, Hemoglobin, HCT was sky high...

Well after reading that I’m even more confused lol.

I am not donated 2x double red in a year. I didn’t have hematocrit numbers before starting trt.

Switched my protocol from 2x a week (Monday Am and Thursday PM) of Test Cyp 140mg a week (70 per shot). I was on that protocol for over a year and my blood tests kept giving me high hematocrit numbers like 56, 58, 54. Donations (double red) helped a bit but still higher than I had liked. About...

Any suggestions on the easiest way to load a slin pin for sub q? I’m not a fan of poking the bottle then my skin.

As far as HCG. What protocol do you guys recommend? I’m hoping I can go through insurance for it if my doctor says yes. For now I’ll just stick with the testosterone only but I would like to see how the igf-1 helps after my testosterone is in a good place months down the road. Just planning ahead.

Well gentlemen, this is eye opening. If I can get away with 100mg a week with no AI I’ll be happy as hell. Plus having such a low volume of oil I could do Subq injections 2x a week too. If not, I’m fine doing IM if that’s best. I just figured if I’m only injecting 50mg (.25cc) subq could also...

Thank you. Great info. I’ll give 100 mg a try and redo a blood test after 12 weeks with 2x a week protocol of 50mg 2x a week. I’ll drop the AI and see how I do. I’m guessing I should still do blood donations till I get my red blood cell count down ?

I was thinking I could lower it and be able to drop AI. When do you suggest the bloodwork to be done as far as injection schedule

My symptoms are not so bad but I don’t feel amazing like I did before. Sex drive is not particularly high.

Started TRT through a clinic and I didn’t have much if any guidance on dose. Was put on 200mg Test Cyp a week and .5mg Arimidex 2x a week. I followed this for about 2 years. Bloodwork numbers were hard to follow because each doctor through the clinic basically just said “everything looks good”...

Hello everyone. New here but not new to TRT. Decided to join after reading a lot here. 41 years old. TRT for 5 years with about 2 years off in between because of sides that I could not control.
