testosterone

I know this topic has been rammed down our stubborn faces again and again by @madman. I was hoping to get experiences of guys that started on a higher dose, felt unwell, and then lowered their dose and are now doing much better. What side effects told them to lower their dose? This video is...

Hi everyone, I’m on my third nebido injection (dosing interval 12 Weeks) I have a history of some mild bodybuilding cycles that ended up in secondary hypoganadism. My endocronologist insisted in nebido the standard protocol every 12 weeks after the loading phase. I feel better that before but...

I'm wondering about the validity on a clinical and perceived basis of cycling on and off TRT. I wouldn't eve pursue the question except for some research that was done on it, believe from University of Texas (Huston?). And I can't find the link now, ncbi, I thought. Study involved Test...

Have you had a success with TRT with small testicles/small sperm count? The testicles were impaired before puberty and are small (a third of normal size for the age of 40 years) and the sperm count is low. I fear TRT will further reduce the count and the therapy will be counterproductive. Its a...

Just got some trimix from Empower and see they sent 30ml bottle of bacteriostatic static water with the 5ml bottle of powder but noticed also it contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol. I seemed to recall on the forum here somoned indicated that it was a problem with that ingredient. Can't find the post...

This morning I discovered what appears to be some sort of sediment or contamination in a recently opened 5ml vial of compounded 200mg/ml testosterone cypionate in grapeseed oil. This vial has never been exposed to heat or direct sunlight and has always been stored in a dark, cool place. While...

After utilizing a 24 mg EOD protocol, my estrodial is still high. I'm thinking this may be why I am having some ed issues still. Lab results right before next injection: Testosterone total (MS): 587 ng/dl (250-1100) Testosterone free (dialysis): 139.5 pg/ml (35-155) Estrodial ultrasensitive...

In the spring of 2020 after being on TRT for 5 years, I stopped suddenly last year when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer with 9 of 12 biopsy cores were cancerous and Gleason score of 6. There was no abnormality detected in rectal exams. My PSA had gradually increased to 11 over a period of...

My CNP wrote me a new script for 10ML of 200MG/ML. When I went to Sam's to pick it up, they had a 1 ML vial. When I told them I wanted a 5ML or 10ML vial, the Pharmacist told me that they only do 1 ML vials because Testosterone goes bad after 28 days....AND once you pierce the rubber cap with a...

Got my latest blood test in. For whatever reason, at the same dose as my other blood tests (20mg testosterone and 100iu hcg daily subq), my total testosterone is actually dropping (1024 from 1200) and my free testosterone and presumably estrogen are rising (340 from 304 on free t). Doc forgot my...

This is simply a question/observation I am throwing out to the masses. I had been self dosing testosterone e last year for about six months. Approximately 80-100mg weekly - shallow IM. Stopped the first week of November due to some unwanted sides. No PCT. I did start taking a test booster...

Quick question: I'll be driving around a few states the next couple weeks, and my testosterone vial will be stuck in the car for full days at a time on occasion while I'm in the events I'm going to. It's summer so I'm concerned a little with it being in the heat that long. Will it be okay?

Hi folks - Long-time reader / lurker here! My name is Scott Myslinski. I've just had Nelson Vergel on my podcast, Making a Man, to talk about TRT, Anabolics, Surviving HIV, Homosexuality, and more. Check it out HERE and please let me know what you think...

I’ve been experimenting with a lower test dose (85mg a week alongside HCG vs 130-160mg a week alongside HCG). I felt better at first like everyone does when changing protocols, then chronic gut issues I’ve had seem to progressively be getting worse despite taking it easier on things that trigger...

The following statement may sound very innacurate but I heard/read that when you are taking testosterone your sperm deforms. This ends up affecting the health of the fetus as it grows, is this true? I have research and read a few papers on the effects of testosterone on sperm and I have not...

Hey everyone, here are some recent lab results using 24mg eod test cyp sub-q/shallow IM for about 6-8 weeks. I feel much more relaxed and anxiety is lower, blood pressure is lower than 50mg twice per week. The problem now is my memory and brain function are quite low. I'm sleeping great...

This guys podcast has been nothing short of amazing. As far as learning new "hacks" to improve performance, learning, cognition. He's a neuroscientist at Standford. He introduces things such as the physiological sigh to calm anxiety in real time. I learned that cooling the palms, face and...

Been on HRT for a few years and still ironing out some lingering issues. Historically I can get my total T to 1300ish with a 200-215 free T and 50-57 E2 without an AI or anything with daily small injections of testosterone and HCG. My free T3 on labs is usually a little low (3.0-3.2), my rT3’s...

Hello all, My wife is 50 years old. Never had kids and is in menopause. She has low T, no energy, brain fog, hot flashes. So she did pellets. Worked ok for 2 out of 12 weeks she had them in. (Week 6 and 7 ONLY). The rest of the time showed no results. Been off T pellets for 4 months. She was...

Quick question. I just restarted TRT after an approximate 5 month break for fertility reason. Im on HCG (250 twice per week,) and 120ml weekly shots of test E (divided in two subq weekly shots.) I just received my blood work and my resultare as follows: Testosterone 20nmolL Testosterone 576...

Anyone here have any experience that has had prostate cancer and now on trt. Thanks

I may be taking a job in the near future that requires close to 100% travel. Would exposing a vial of testosterone to 20-30 x-ray scans over the course of its use potentially degrade the medication? I know a few trips doesn't affect potentency but I'm curious if that high of a number of scans...

This is about two somewhat different but related subjects. Basically, perceptions Vs reality. First, estrogen and body fat. Low testosterone often causes weight gain and lower estrogen. Many people believe body fat is a big causes of higher level of aromatization of testosterone to...

Is Total T MS panel specific enough to recognize a testosterone molecule from a nandrolone molecule? I know the standard non sensitive Total T panel can’t differentiate test and nandrolone and will add them together, and the Total T LC/MS/MS panel is specific enough to know the difference and...

Hello, dear forum members, my name is Stefan and I am really happy having found this forum! I am really interested in the topic of increasing your testosterone level because it has some incredibly positive effects on your body, health, and also mood. My Question for you guys: 1. What are/ were...

What's a normal amount of fluctuation in Hematocrit and Testosterone 6 months apart while keeping the dose and protocol the same? Testosterone Cypionate only. A year ago I lowered my dose, at the 6 month mark hematocrit came back at 50.6 and total T at 600. At the 1 year mark hematocrit came...

Switched from Actavis/Hikma to Perrigo and my bloods and energy are much lower. It says manufacturers by Grand Rapids aseptic was wondering if anyone here has bloodwork with this manufacturer?

My nephew is 31 and tore his pec years ago while bench pressing. It's gotten worse and he is going to have it surgically repaired sometime this month and asked me if I thought he should supplement with Testosterone for a few weeks/months to speed up the healing. He's never done steroids of any...

So I’ve heard it’s healthy to supplement with a daily magnesium and zinc supplement because it’s hard to get these minerals in foods nowadays . I’m curious if magnesium or zinc supplementation affects the testosterone half life, efficiency, or effects it in a positive or negative manner ...

Anyone know what it means or what it is indicative of when the penis is semi hard through sex or masturbation and then ends up getting erect right before climaxing and during. Low E? high E? This happens sometimes while other times it works fine..
