So, recently switched Dr's because of work relocation. I'm on 150 mg a week split twice a week. The week of bloods she had me do a full 150 mg injection and take blood test 4 days later. New bloods: Toyal test 1500. AST at 43. Estradiol at 69. No adverse sides other than feeling great. She freaked. Now she wants me to stop TRT for 4 weeks and take 1 mg AI for the next 4 weeks and do bloods again.

Finally dropped through enough hoops and labworks to get referred to and scheduled in for Uro appt with the VA. At this point as I am getting older and about to hit 40, the cardiovascular and osteoporosis risks are enough for me that I am going to pursue finding an insurance accepting, legit specialist somewhere near me since I expect them to make me keep jumping through hoops and not getting treated. Should I be pursuing an Uro or Endo doc in test replacement? Is the lack of knowledge regarding TRT still as prevalent as it was a few years ago in both fields?

Is it normal to fluctuate so hard? 29m, 6’1, 210, can run 5-10 miles or lift heavy anytime.

Both had a kid and quit a chronic nicotine addiction June-July. Went back to my PCP in October because I felt arguably worse (fatigue, anxiety, etc) after quitting, despite prioritizing sleep (as best as I can with a new kid, more total hours than pre-kid though). They found low vitamin D on Oct. 16th (same draw).

On Oct. 30th, I had some weird symptoms while running. I was about 2 miles in and got flush, felt pukey, like I was about to pass out. Took a break, finished for a 5k, then kept having bouts of that same feeling throughout the day. The next day, my chest felt tight so I went to the ER. Almost everything checked out, but the EKG showed a small chance of an abnormality so they advised I see my PCP. When googling said abnormality, it gave me the worst panic attack I’ve ever had (not common for me). That prompted the re-test and a long cardiologist work up. Heart is perfectly healthy. Kept having worsening panic/anxiety, sort of like a rollercoaster over the last 6 weeks, but I’ve felt much better over the last 1.5/2 weeks.

Can anxiety/panic attacks cut your T into literally 1/3?

I read vitamin D controls test, how true?

So many questions, I’ve felt like total shit for almost two months out of nowhere.

I ran two 16 week cycles about 7 years ago for some comps, but did a post treatment and went on to not use again. No way that messed up my natural production?

I recently had a kid and my testosterone levels dropped to mid 300s with free being at 55 (35-155 is the scale). I started looking into my bloodwork about a year ago (before kid) because my symptoms indicated low T. Anyone else’s level drop significantly and did they come back after things at home eased up? My sleep isn’t terrible as my wife handles the nights pretty well. I’m extremely fatigued in the afternoons, low drive, etc. I’m pretty over it and want to consider TRT but that’s a lifetime commitment so would appreciate any others experiences.

Im ruling out sleep apnea, meeting with Endo, and testing everything else. So far it just seems like my hormones are unbalance as all other considerations are in range. I also have high SHBG.

Hello so I’m turning 17 in May. And I want to become as masculine as I can before I fully mature at 25. I heard androgen sensitivity which is linked to testosterone is the most important. Any tips on how to increase it? Thanks for your time.

Sup yall,

Gonna start my first cycle

It’s gonna be 250 test for 5-6 months

1st week 100 test 2nd week 150 test 3rd week 200 test 4th week 250 test

Then all the way till May/June

Since this is my first cycle and it’s a starting cycle dosage for test, will it age me a lot?

If so, is there any supplements to take to reduce the aging? I know there is NAD, and good facial hygiene.

What do you guys know? Thanks

I'm a 30 year-old male, doctor has prescribed me Letrozole 2.5 to lower my estrogen levels, my estrogen currently is 53.25 pg/ml which is high, I wonder how long will it take Letrozole to lower my estrogen to normal levels??

I'm also afraid that Letrozole might lower my estrogen too much to be less than the accepted reference range which isn't useful to my libido

Hi all, I used to be on test cyp injections, worked great for me.

My wife and I decided to start trying for a kid so my dr put me on 1500 IUs 3x/week of HCG(4500/week total) and 25mg 3x/week of clomid(75mg/week total). This was last december

after about 9 months, my sperm count was still low, test and lh looked good; however, FSH was pretty low. My dr said that he wanted to boost the FSH since that is more important for spermatogenesis so we stopped the HCG and bumped me up to 50mg 3x/week of clomid; we later added .5mg 2x/week of anastrazole(1mg/week total).

My sperm count, since october, has recovered and we can start trying to get pregnant... the only issue is that I'm feeling pretty low energy and have pretty bad brain fog(not as bad as before TRT, but pretty damn bad). Our reproductive endocrinologist told us that whatever dose I'm on, I should keep doing it because my spermanalysis results were great... ironically, that was awful to hear because i don't like this regimen.

I am wondering if it's the clomid and if it'd be safe to stop the clomid and just do hcg monotherapy.

Did anyone have an experience like this? How did you resolve it? I also am wary of the risk of undoing my spermcount.

I’ve been paying a men’s clinic far too much for the past 4 months. Does anyone know how or if my health insurance will pay for TRT? I know there has to be a cheaper way, ‘help me I’m poor.’ Thanks dudes

Can anybody understand this slip? I wanna know if my test contains ethyl oleate. On the vial it says mct oil

I take 190mg of T/week… pin 4 times to avoid spikes. I have tried taking anastrazole once every couple of months which makes me feel amazing and fixes the problem but causes bad testicular pain. Really stuck here and don’t know what course of action to take

Im poor responder. Whats avarage 250mg testosterone level for poor responders?

Hi guys so I'm Gona share my story here.

Started a cycle 8 weeks ago

My cycle was

Test e 300-350 per week injected m w f Primo 200 per week Var 50 per day

I ran this for 3 weeks and I was feeling ok just low sexual mood. I fucked up here and decided to add mast at 100 per week

I did blood throughout all the 3 weeks before adding masteron and my E2 was around 25pg/ml but never checked my test here

After 2 weeks of adding the mast I did bloods

And my E2 was around 30 and my test was at 3300 and my SHBG was around 20, felt low E2 sides all over and it was clear me test E2 ratio was out of bounce so I decided to drop masteron and primo all together and just cruise till the end of my cycle on var and test e with HCG added

So from week 5-8 I was on test e 250 , var 50 and I added HCG at 350-500 IUs 3x per week

During these 3 weeks I started to get morning wood again that was relatively alternating between strong and weak and sometimes I had small libido boosts our of nowhere so I decided to get bloods again last week

My test level before my next injection was 1700 and my E2 was around 40 Pg/ml and my SHBG was 11 and I did bloods for everything else like lipids and thyroid ect and the only lows I got where dhea around 100 and HDL at 25

So last week I dropped the var and this week I checked my lipids again and now HDL is a 25

I'll be checking my E2 and free test this week as well to see where I'm at

Right now my symptoms are just some fatigue in the evenings, no libido at all, can get hard if stimulated mentally but erections are lost easily

I feel my dick and my mind are out of sync, like If I watch porn for 3 hrs , I feel nothing and my dick can't get hard at all even if I masterbait

I feel like there's this constant stress feeling that doesn't allow me to get turned on

I know this sounds weird but I'm out of ideas here

I'm leaning more towards my E2 being low compared to my test but I'm not sure

Also I did the immunoassay E2 test because I don't have access to the sensitive one

Please help me , I don't know what else to do, I'm literally losing my mind here. I'm way Hornier without test or peds

Hi fellas - new here. I’m age 40 and have been dealing with ED and loss of libido over the last two years. I’ve also been experiencing unexplained weight loss (~15% over last 9 months), fatigue, diarrhea, night sweats and intermittent dizziness. I’m 6’1” and currently weigh 175lbs.

My primary doc has ordered a ton of labs over the last couple weeks, including free and total T blood tests, TSH levels, CBC, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Iron, TB, HBA1C and several Type 1 Diabetes tests. All numbers are within normal ranges (except still waiting on Type 1 antibody results).

My total T was 713, and free T was 87.7, which I believe would mean that free T is 1.2% of total T. I understand that both numbers are separately within range, but is that ratio/percentage considered normal or would you think it might require further follow up?

I also note that my A1C over past two years has risen from 5.2 to 5.8, notwithstanding weight loss, and TSH levels have hovered around 0.4 for the last three years.

I’m just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences and whether it might be worth following up for additional hormone testing. Just trying to cover all bases. Thank you for your time - much appreciated!

If there are could you please tell me your regimen, other supplements etc - or any possible way to get bloods in the UK without re mortgaging my house

Hey so I got my official bloodwork back but haven’t seen the doctor yet to discuss. I am taking 105mg test e weekly by doing EOD sub q. Cialis 5mg EOD I actually did blood 2 weeks before too and the results were huge I need help to know why the big fluctuation ? I got off AI on November 10th was last day due to crashing it and don’t like the sides. I feel fine with elevated Estrodial if doctor will be ok . Trying to loose more bf. WHY IS THERE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN FLUCTUATION?! I only take 105mg weekly and would like to keep it higher range but my Estrodial is high and don’t want Ai. I do see my libido just being on some days so I do want to keep my libido higher if possible. What should I change to my protocol.

December 3rd blood work in evening and did my sub q injection before I did bloodwork Total test 977/ng Free test 982/pmol Estrodial 50pg Prolactin 14 ng/ml

Did bloodwork 8:30am in the morning and didn’t do injection yet December 17th Total test 617/ng Free test 645 pmol Estrodial 61/pg Prolactin 18 ng/ml

Does anyone have experience using test cypionate injections to restore perimenopausal woman’s sex drive?

Hello,

I would like to enter a weekly cycle of 400 MG Testosterone enanthate and 200 MG Rimobolan. The Rimbolan ester will again be enanthate.

My questions are:

1- Are the dosages and drugs the right choice for the first cycle?

2- I want to do the injections subcutaneously, are my medications suitable for this?

3- Since less ML will be injected subcutaneously, how many days and how many MG should I divide the injections.

I’m on Test Cyp at 250mg, injecting EOD. This is TRT and I have no libido and weak erections and almost zero sensitivity In my penis and balls. What can I do? I have a blood test due in a month or so.

My doctor prescribed me Bexol.Does it reduce testosterone?

Im on trt and have bin for the last 12 years. I read allot of ppl on trt supplements with progesteron.

I want to know What it helps you with?

Please list me all the type of blood tests that i need to get checked before i start my Testosterone journey :D

Currently prescribed 8ml of Cyponate IM injection. After 2 months I gradually started to experience more intense pain and and heat in the area that would go away after a few days. I changed the oil from grape to cotton seed and that fixed the issue for 2 months. Now I am starting to get the same issue. Am I allergic? Is there a non seed oil carrier oil option?

Hello, I have been running my first Test E cycle. I am currently 12 weeks in. I began at 300mg PW and have now worked my way to 500mg PW. I don’t know whether to cut the cycle within the next week or so. Do a full PCT or add another compound in and run it for a further 6 weeks etc. Or would say 18 weeks of test alone allow you to walk away with some gains and not just lose 80% of it to water gains. Any feedback would be appreciated 👍

I have started 10 days ago, masterone and testosterone both propionate, 3 ml/ week (300 mg/ week), I always inject on both sides of my body, masteron is fine no issues, but whenever I inject test in my quads the next couple of days I cant walk, happened twice (first time though I did something wrong, so tried again and both times it was awful, I will never use my quads for test again, delt injections are slightly painful but the quads have been hell, I am just curios as to why if anyone had experienced this, moving forward delts for test and quads for masterone, will also try lats to see how it goes.

This past year I’ve felt fatigued 24/7, intense brain fog, lack of any feeling, unmotivated, irritable. Got a test kit for total testosterone came back at 281. I know it says average but does this explain my symptoms? Still waiting on the free test and SHBG.

I have been on TRT for close to 2 months now, always been injecting in my glutes. The first month or so had no problems, now seemingly every time I inject I get this painful hard lump the next day. It does not seem to be infections, I am very careful to sterilize everything and they go away in a few days and are not red or super painful.

I should probably make an appointment with my doc but figured I would ask here first.

I have test cyp and would like to start a cycle as I believe I have low test, what do I need to ask the doctor to check for on a blood test to see if I’m low or not? Plus anything else thank you
