testosterone

Several articles are showing that many athletes have an FT that is debatably low. Such in this one: http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bjsports-2017-097792 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29445518/ As an amateur marathoner (just about the 3hour for full-marathon), it seems that my endogenous FT...

My liver enzymes are always a little high, not super high, but always 30-40% over normal range for the last 20+ years. Occasionally they have gone down to WNL when I lost weight (I am up and down with my weight). Therefore I know some of this is due to me being overweight now (about 40lbs), so...

Looking to start treatment as feeling ruff. Got sustanon from pharmacy. What do you think about my numbers? In good shape, eat good, workouts sucks though as with such numbers i get no recovery, wake up tired, brain fog, bone health, sex drive, libido and some ed. Nore symptoms but that be...

Hi, I am a 51yr old who has juice many times in the past. At 40yrs old I had a max bench of 370. At 49yrs old a max deadlift of 465. Between 40-51yrs old I had on both my right and left side, triceps partial tendon tears. I had Prolotherapy on both of them and they finally healed up after...

Hi Im wondering if I should go after Total or Free Testosterone. If I have total in the high range like this blood test shows. Total 988. reference 221-716ng/dl Free 12.5 reference 7.0-36.7 ng/dl SHB 80 reference 11-78 nmol/L Then if I increase the T dose to go after the free T it will look...

I'm wondering if anyone can help resolve a mystery I've been thinking about. We understand that the lack of testosterone in men can cause an array of non-sexual symptoms, including low energy, depression, anxiety, irritability, lack of drive/motivation, falling asleep after meals, difficulty...

Hey everyone, please bear with my long story! I messed up big time and I'm in dire need of help!!! I was prescribed testosterone cypionate (100mg/week, split into daily shots) in July 2020 after a couple of tests confirmed low TT levels (approx 200 ng/dL). This brought my TT up to 800 - 900...

ok, spare me the moral side of this. the pure reason I am considering this is a SHTF scenario (very likely IMHO). any sort of war or major shortages food/gas WILL affect T availability. I found random sources like Buy Steroids Online | Injectable & Oral Steroids for Sale USA | Card Payment I am...

I have an issue I cannot figure out. Been on trt 3.5 years mostly on 140 mg/wk. I had issues with high hematocrit so I started slowly reducing my dose. On 140/wk my total was around 1400. I dropped down to 100/wk and my total test came back over 1500. So I went to 80, came back at 1292. I felt...

I am throwing this question to the vast amount of knowledge on this board. My last Test-Cyp injection was February 4th (75mg, shallow IM, which I had been injecting weekly for less than 2 months). I had started low dose clomid (25mg eod) but stopped that 4 weeks prior to scheduled blood work...

Hi all, I have been looking into Proviron as of late as I have been experiencing lower than normal libido. I dabbled with low dose testosterone cycles over the past few years as my test levels indicated low normal. I am currently not taking anything and haven't for a few months now. I really...

For those of us with average T levels and/or higher SHBG, our bodies are producing enough T, they just aren't using what's there because it is being bound by SHBG and isn't bioavailable. Why hasn't the pharmaceutical industry focused on producing medications that control (increase/decrease)...

Hi guys, i am new here. I am a young man in his 20's and i have primary hypogonadism induced by a long steroids cycle without the use of HCG. In fact, 5 years ago, i did a Blast and Cruise for 1 year straight. I only used testosterone cypionate at 700mg/week during blast and 200mg/week during...

Hi all, Been on trt about 5 years. Bloodwork been stable for quite a while now. Happy with how everything is going. Recently I changed from luer lock syringes to 27g insulin syringes for my testosterone shots. Been thinking about it, when i used to use the old syringes there would be a tiny...

Has anyone experienced eczema like skin issues while on TRT? I don't mean injection site issues like redness and inflammation but systemic hive like, extremely itchy raised lesions on the back, chest, right and left flank. I have been off TRT for a few months now and the issue has increased. The...

Previously, on 100 mg, weekly, my free T was 225. Changed up after two months because I was feeling depleted five days out. Went to MWF, 34 mg, IM. Latest labs through Discounted showed a decrease in total(1064 to 1032) with free T down to 191. Now doing 40 mg, MWF and will recheck in six or...

Just throwing another question to the masses. I am currently into my third week of Clomid only, post a two month (or so) duration of self administered TRT (75mg weekly test-e). I started a week after my last injection with 12.5mg of Clomid daily (week 1) then upped it to 25mg daily from week 2...

My general doctor just prescribed me Trazodone to help with sleep. I've been on TRT for 2yrs through my clinic and I just want to verify that It's "safe" to take a low dose of Trazodone 50mg while on TRT? Thanks in advance!

History of testosterone therapy through the ages (2022) Mary Rostom, Ranjith Ramasamy, and Taylor P. Kohn The symptoms of testosterone deficiency have been known throughout history with evidence dating back to the twenty-first century BCE when men were castrated to be docile and obedient...

So I heard somewhere that 100mg of testosterone isn’t actually 100mg but a lower percentage is this true and how much would it be if it was cypionate in particular ? Thanks you guys !

So I’ve been doing daily IM shots and I must say I’ve gotten great results but I’m getting tired of how long and far I have to inject into my body and I hear subQ is so much easier especially with low amounts of testosterone. Is there anyone who has switched and gotten the same results or better...

There be a minority of people who simply don't "respond" (no benefits, you feel no different) to testosterone, no matter the protocol, at least the one's you've tried so far. What's your plan now? Have you given up and just accepted life as is? Are you still testing protocols hoping one day...

I have heard that not using HCG concurrently with TRT will cause shrikage of improtant testicular cells and death over time. Rendering the balls damaged. I have also heard that HCG is not necessary if one does not feel good on it. And we can regain fertility just by adding a fertility...

I am currently on 100mg/week Test Cypionate, and .25mg Analtrozole same day. My body is more hairy than ever since I got on TRT. But I am seeing more hair thining on my head. Hair gets longer but hair is thining on my head. Little hair loss specially on sides on forehead. I am in my low's 40...

Hi all, I'd like some advice on reducing my testosterone dosage. Please by all means, treat me like the idiot I am because I still have much to learn. Below is my latest blood test results (as of yesterday). Testosterone translates to 946ng/dl and E2 to 31.3 pg/ml. From what I understand...

So I don’t want the medical technical Mumbo jumbo about it’s a carrier protein and all but what I want to know is if someone has low shbg what do they feel like . Should they feel tired , not optimized , workouts suck ,low sex drive, recovery ect . Does having normal levels make you feel better ?

First off I want to thank everyone who has helped me over the years with my protoco. But it seems to be like I am beating my head against the wall. I have hypogandis, 52, 5’8 155lbs and fit. I’m an epileptic who gets crushed by insomnia, which in turn causes seizures. Recently I have been...

Hi all, I posted a month ago about my trials an tribulations regarding my sweet spot was with high T 210mg/week and very low E < 5. only happy when estradiol is VERY low At that point I felt like conquering a small country over the weekend. Though my last nurse had approved it, my new nurse...
