testoserone

Had testing done a while ago, and my testosterone levels were LOW TT was 156ng/dl and FT was 2.9 - I have been taking Enclomiphene citrate 12.5mg eod for 5 weeks and had just my testosterone levels checked. Levels are up to TT 281, and FT 7.6 and I am thinking I will start taking 12.5 every day...

So I’m a daily trt user. 14 mg daily for the past year . My question is simple . How long or how many days will it take to feel like crap ? Anyone have any experience missing a shot or not being able to get the prescription . I have to wait 2-3 days . Thanks everyone

I am trying to makes sense from my latest bloodwork. My main concern is whether these elevations (see attached) are likely due to the Covid infection I had 30 days prior to the blood draw and not due to my 3 mo.of 25mg/day enclomiphene regimen. Of note: I had a clot of unknown original form in...

These are my latest blood tests after 6 weeks of HCG 3x550IU per week. https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/blood-work-6-weeks-into-hcg-monotherapy-going-to-start-t.28964/ My testosterone pumped 50%. But free testosterone increased in significantly. Here the testosterone is all in 1ml...

Hi All! I am female 34 yrs old. I got a full lab testing with hormone panel because I am mainly dealing with low libido and pre-menstrual anxiety. Before my cycle I just go thru a dark phase, I feel im in a weird head space and life is so gloomy. Its cyclical happening almost every month. All...

Do vitamin stores have products that can increase T levels? Are they worth the money if you just need a small boost? Thanks

Hi all, So started TRT 6 weeks ago on 25mg test cyp every other day and 200iu of HCG every other day. Experienced some acne on back and shoulders. Felt great in the first 3 weeks then tailed off slightly. Please could someone have a look at the results and express thoughts? This was taken in...

Prior to using TRT, I would use Tongkat Ali and Fadogia Agrestis (had some slight increases but nothing over the top). Knowing that Fadogia works with the leydig cells, would using this while on TRT have any benefit as in keeping testes fuller? My condition is secondary hypogonadism as prior...

Hi Everyone, I hope all doing well. I am 31 years old Male living in Canada. I always had many symptoms all my life and after many trips to doctor i was able to do blood test, Mri of pituitary & adrenal gland. Following are my results **SYPMTOMS:** •Headches, Pain behind eyes, Neck & Shoulder...

Hi, not sure where to go. Symptoms: low energy, fatigue are my biggest. followed by no libido, cold hand & feets + brainfog. labs show following: TSH - 0.79 ( Ref 0.3 - 3.18) fT3 - 4.65 (Ref 4.09 - 6.65) fT4 - 16.8 ( Ref 13.1 - 21.3) Testosteron 3.86 ( Ref 2.49 - 8.36 ) SHBG 23.5...

Who is the endocrine expert here? What is the clinical rationale as to why and how my T levels would drop within 1 month on 200mg transcrotal cream, YET DHT nearly tripled, LH went to 0 (as I’d expect), and HCt went up from 46 to 50? Clearly the T cream was “working”, but T went from 502 to...

many people are prob aware of this channel, I find this vid interesting, did not expect Steven Davos to go there (sadly i have to agree)

I think we need a poll for this. How long does it take for your body to adjust to the new protocol/dose? For me. 4-6 weeks Cream. 6-8 weeks Tes P. 10-12 weeks Test cyp/E

So my question is if there is 200mg of test cyp in one mini vial what’s to stop someone from using all that 200mg before throwing it out and saving a boatload of money instead of injecting once and throwing it away … does it go bad ? Does it decompose the more you use it ?

Hi all, This is my first time posting on this site and I'm looking for some advice, success stories so let me just get to my story. When I was around 35 some friends and I used Testosterone for enhanced work outs etc. We used it for about 3 months. Fast forward to today I'm having issues...

Bloods Right before beginning TRT. Hematocrit - 44.9% PSA - 1.220 ng/ml Testosterone Total - 337 ng/dl Free Testosterone - 74 pg/ml SHBG - 22nmol/l LH - 5.69 mIU/mL FSH - 2.37 IU/L E2 - 13.4 pg/ml DHEA - 281 ug/dl Growth Hormone - 0.06 ng/mL Thyroid panels were normal. Pituitary gland MRI -...

I haven’t really found a straight answer on this, but see HCG suppression often mentioned. These questions afd for a man taking ONLY HCG, and no other compounds along with it (no TRT or testosterone at all): What exactly does it suppress? If one takes HCG, and is NOT also taking testosterone...

Do you know if testosterone gel is milder on the liver than injections? As we know, the oily injections may not be harmless for the liver.

Triptorelin is used clinically to produce castration by suppressing LH and FSH, being agonistic but constant stimulation produces the opposite effect. It has been claimed that a single dose of 100 mcg would be fine to restore HPTA. I would like to have some input on this...

Got all my blood work done, but trying to stay away from a clinic protocol. I can get a great deal through my own pharmacy. Any clinics have a option just to pay for the script for testosterone?

Wikipedia says, "The relative binding affinity of various sex steroids for SHBG is dihydrotestosterone (DHT) > testosterone > androstenediol > estradiol > estrone. DHT binds to SHBG with about 5 times the affinity of testosterone and about 20 times the affinity of estradiol." Why aren't there...

So this is a bit of a weird side effect that I attribute to testosterone. So I have had recurring eczema on my hands (on and off, and always much worse in the winter) since I was a teen. In the last 5-6 years it got even worse and more frequent. I often can't go more than 2 days without...

Total Testosterone - 454 ng/dl ( 200-800 ng/dl) Free Testosterone- 62 pg/ml ( 46-224 pg/ml) SHBG- 64.9 nmoles/L ( 13 nmoles/L- 89nmoles/L) Would these numbers qualify for TRT?

So I had an idea for people who aromatize too much, HyperAromatization. What if one takes an AI to block conversion of Testosterone to Estrogen and takes Estrogen instead. you say, why? Because this way you control how much estrogen you want. A lot of people on TRT just have no control on how...

Before I describe my problem, I wanted to say hello to everyone on this forum. I recently started reading it, and I learned a lot of valuable things. I’m 29 years old now and about 4-5 years ago, I started to feel worse, weakened, have libido problems, poor results in the gym, unhappy, etc...

I have been on TRT for over 4 years. I take 160 mgs of Cypionate per week divided on 2 shots. 50 units of HCG. Same protocol since the begining. I test every six months. All labs have been really good since I started. Morning wood, strong erections and libido. No issues. All the sudden out of...

I need advice. My case is not straightforward. I am not expecting black and white answers but I would greatly appreciate any educated thoughts and suggestions. I have been trying to figure this out since April 2021. Background: 8 plus years postmenopausal intact female. Started HRT in December...

Been a lurker for years and thanks for the all the amazing information. Situation: Married, no kids, dead sex life, ED issue, no libido, strength and stamina issues. Tried all oral ED medications, nothing works. Got a full physical last week with an Endo and he put in injection and post that...

I’m thinking about going to every day injections since my shbg is really low around 8-10. and I know buying daily 1ml vials can be expensive I think right now on EOD it’s about 50$ every two weeks right now . So my question is do we (USA) have multi dosage vials of like 10mls where I can draw my...

I like checking out what's new every so often and it has often had topics of anxiety issues sprinkled in there. Recently I learned of a self hypnosis app (interactive where you talk to it as well) called Reveri, it recommends twice daily sessions to learn how to deal with the uncertainty we...

A classic enclomiphene/clomid story? I have been on enclomiphene with Defy for about 4.5 weeks at 12.5mg/day. It took about a week or two to feel the effects but when it did, nearly all my low-t symptoms were alleviated. More energy, strength, a libido, no more ED, far less anxiety, motivation...
