testosterone

History.... never had great libido on injections. I've tried high doses, low doses. I've tried with and without an AI. I've tried one a week, twice a week, every day injections, etc. Nothing ever worked that great for libido to be honest. Everything else is amazing on TRT...just not the libido...

So the family and I will be going on a road trip soon, and there will be days where my testosterone vials will be sitting in the car for a full 8 hours while we're exploring amusement parks and such. Is there any issue with this? If so, any tips to deal with it? Would it be better for it to be...

I know some here combine the doses. Can you tell me technique and size syringe/needle you use? I’ll be using cypionate and pregnyl. Lure-Lok syringe or integral diabetic style?

Years ago when I was a patient of Dr. Crisler, he sold T troches that you dissolve in your mouth. One of the side affects he mentioned was that you might notice your voice get deeper. I am a singer in several different groups, and over the years I've lost my deep bass range. Does anyone have...

I've seen some people say a decade. Others I've seen say just 2 years. How long does the substance last if i were to store it? Is it the same for enanthate, cypionate etc? Where can I find reliable info on this? What about the powder form? Important.

Quest labs provided me with both a Free and Bioavailable testosterone level. All my last labs just provide Free not bio. I have seen these terms bio and free used interchangeably a lot but they are obviously different. What’s the main difference? and which is more meaningful for TRT purposes ?

Protocol change March 2023 My men’s health provider and I decided I had plateaued in the last quarter of last year and entered diminishing returns by January. If I had no other options, I could do okay on my present protocol, but why do that when other options exist? So, I’m going off my...

I have been injecting via subcutaneous injections. The insulin needles that I use are very small which takes a very long time to draw the testosterone. Can you tell me exactly what gauge and length of insulin needle I need to buy to streamline that process.

Hi everyone. Noticed on this forum some talk in the archives about prefilled syringes. Well, it has been something I have been doing for numerous years at times without realizing it was wrong. Below you can see a picture of a syringe filled with cypionate about two weeks ago, now showing great...

What's the opinion on Testosterone shelf life for opened vials.... ? I was thinking of giving Test Prop a try again and have 90-95% full vial from Empower that was opened about 13-14 months ago....(it was stored in dark, dry place, the color and consistency still looks like new). Any thoughts?

so the general idea is to reduce dose and wait 8 weeks to see results. can you speed this process up? lets say you want to go from 200mg/week to 150mg/week (my case, i think I was doing better at 150 which is my sweet spot) could you drastically reduce the dose for 1-2 weeks or so (lets say go...

I'm understanding that let SHBG alone, free testosterone should be 2% of total, how do we calculate that? let's say Total Test is 800 ng/dl and FT is in pg/ml? 800 x 0,02 = 16?
