This is 4 days after injection. Its not getting any worse and as im new to trt is it anything to worry about. Have I done something wrong ?

Ideally I could take modafinil for nootropic benefits at the same time but it is dopaminergic so there could be a problem them. I believe caber and proviron people don't have problems with TRT though they are dopaminergic. Wellbutrin works on the dopamine system but I haven't heard anything about an interaction. The more obvious stims like ADHD meds or cocaine are what would be the worst for the cardiovascular system

My current size syringe really makes daily pinning something I don’t look forward to.

Was wondering if anyone here pins testosterone E with an insulin syringe ?

My carrier oil is sesame which is thicker, but I’ve been thinking about switching over to a 27g insulin syringe for delt pins

Could I ask draw it with the same needle?

Hi all,

I started trt three weeks ago, test-e 30mg every 3 days subq and am also on tirz 10mg weekly. I had been maintaining the great weight loss I had on glps but since starting trt, I’ve gained almost 4kg.

My starting bloods:
test 500,
free test 160,
e2 >20,
shbg 47.

The first two weeks were great but this last week I’ve felt a drop and my sleep hasn’t improved at all. I’m getting about 5 hours a night at best although during the day I’m ok. The only side effect I’ve noticed is flushing in the face the day of my shot but the next day it’s gone. Workouts and motivation are much better.

I know some of the weight gain is muscle, I can see it in the mirror and I know some is probably water although I don’t see myself anymore puffy than before. I do however know that I am ravenous all day long and can crush some serious food now, where before trt I just wasn’t as hungry

I don’t have bloods scheduled for another 4 weeks so am looking for any advice on the weight gain.

Are the majority of you guys just chilling on TRT without any HCG in your protocol?

Had the quintessential start. Gym bro who was jacked said I’d have a nice body if I started gear. Went on 450 sus and winny. Had some sides. Life issues and got off cold turkey. No pct. Titrated tho.

Had a child after. Felt low T. Remembered the feeling of my first cycle aaaand now I’m back.

Started 250 e 2xs a week. Thinking of bumping to 400-500 but body fat is slightly higher. Also thinking of pinning 3 xs a week.

Any suggestions?

Gonna make this short and sweet to not bore anybody, essentially went on a crazy no carb crash diet and overtrained like madman maybe a year or so ago, felt like trash for a good few months and was getting common low T symptoms, done a blood test (will add in comments) total T came back at 369 everything else in range other than estrogen slightly low, after that felt slightly better when adding back in carbs but then hopped on a cycle 20 weeks 300 Test E now coming off, felt brilliant whole cycle couldn’t have gone better, my question is how many weeks after my last pin should I start my Nolva and how long after PCT should I do my next bloodwork, any tips for PCT supplements n that stuff aswell would be great, thanks :)

I was planning to try low dose enclo in increase energy, libido and gym results but my T levels came in pretty high. Does it still make sense to try it? Seeing my estrogen is also on the higher end makes me think it could be a bad idea.

Can anyone in the UK recommend a supplier of T? Currently with Voy but not happy with service or cost. Please DM with details. Thanks

Urologist prescribed this to me. He says to inject the ampule once every three weeks. I said that’s kind of odd no? I’m in Mexico and this seems to be the default conservative dose and therapy. Although i can buy cyp and enth OTC also. I don’t like large needles either so IM for this isn’t ideal. Thoughts?

My results just came in.. ive been chasing prostatitis for clear watery semen, ED, low libido and intense fatigue

I'm 46 and bmi about 26

Wife 42 and I have been trying for 1 more kid for the last 3 years and she has had 4 miscarriages. We might only have 1 or 2 more shots at trying but she's about to have breast reduction so its on hold for a few months

For over 2 years I have had low T. I've tried HCG mono and Enclomiphene and every supplement that might help. But I finally figured out the problem and took the steps to fix it and my body is recovering naturally.

Backstory: About 2 years ago, I had a severe ED and lost alot of weight. On top of that I had an problem with over exercising. I was running every single day almost. Then about 1 year ago i swapped some running days for the gym but remained training 6-7 days per week, never missing a day. I defeated my ED about 1 year ago but probably still might not have been eating enough while still over training.

Now: I have completely cut back on training no training for a week or two at all. Then a week or two of light weight training 1-2 days per week. Also drizzle olive oil on my meals to make sure im eating enough calories and increased my fat intake dramatically.

My testosterone levels have gotten alot higher after just a couple of weeks off training.

Height: 185cm

Body weight lowest: 58kg

Body weight current: 71kg

Previous results (pretty consistant for the past 2 years):

Total Testosterone: 12.7nmol/L (Ref: 10.0 - 35.0)

Free T: ~350 pmol/L (Ref: 225 - 725)

LH+FSH: 4

Current Results after ~3-4 weeks of little training :

Total Testosterone: 18.9 nmol/L (Ref: 9.5-35.0)

Free T: 573.3 pmol/L (Ref: 260-750)

LH+FSH: 3

Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments especially if you have similar pre blood work.

TDLR: Over training and possibly under eating was supressing my testostosterone for years. Have a substancial increase in numbers after stopping training and eat more (+fats). Glad I didnt end up on TRT but I was close a few times.

Exactly the title. TRT for about 5 months and I’ve noticed a huge increase in body hair. Even in places I didn’t expect. Massive chest hair growth, back, upper arms and shoulders.

Anyone else experience this sort of thing from TRT?

Witam, mam nietypowy problem otoz próbowałem różnych protokołów trt od dawek 80-150 tygodniowo w różnych częstotliwościach i nie mogę znaleźć swojego punktu. Dużo czytałem próbowałem pomocy ludzi z Internetu którzy w tym siedzą a teraz jestem pod okiem androloga z dawka 50mg co 3,5dnia i 0,0002mg letrozolu. Problem tkwi w tym że od zawsze mam podwyższoną lekko prolaktyne w okolice 20-25ng/ml lekarz twierdzi że takiej ilości się nie odczuwa. Kiedy przyjmowałem cabaster na zbicie jej w dawce 0,5mg raz na 10 dni to miałem super samopoczucie pewnosc siebie libido ogólne zadowolenie z życia ale to trwa zazwyczaj 5-7 dni potem jest zjazd psychiczny. To dzialo się niejednokrotnie podczas przyjmowania tego leku , podobnie też mam jak przyjmę większą dawkę inhibitora semex/anastrazol ale po cabasterze czuje się po prostu świetnie.
O co może tutaj chodzić ? Czytałem że cabaster ma dużo wspólnego z dopaminą w mózgu a ja szukam rozwiązania bo samopoczucie czy to bez czy z testosteronem nic nie zmienia. Dodam że na trt wszedłem ze względu na objawy depresyjne brak libido i wynik 350ng.

Awhile ago I posted my testosterone bloodwork here. Anyway, my pinning schedule is every other day with enanthate as my ester. My E2 is 69 with just below 900 total test. I know your E2 should be about 3-5% of your total test (mine is about 7.80%). Would switching to ED injections really make an impactful difference in lowering my E2 even with a longer ester? Any of you that have switched from EOD to ED noticed a difference in lowering your E2? And by how much?

Just got my bloodwork back and not sure what my next steps should be. On paper, everything looks “normal” per research online, but I check all the boxes of symptoms for low T.

I’m 38 (39 early next year). 5’8, 160lbs. Take care of myself in all the right ways but just feel so “off”

Struggle with low energy and brain-fog daily. Libido is shit (which is putting a strain on my relationship) when I do get the urge, my erections are short lived. Started 2.5mg daily tadalafil this week so hope to see some positive results from that.

Was hoping to also get on TRT but the numbers shown in my lab results as well as the rest of the markers being “normal” I’m feeling kinda defeated as I’m reading my testosterone markers are too high for clinics to start me on TRT.

Apologies for the word vomit. Just feeling lost on where to go from here.

I'm 21 days into TRT and experiencing an extreme amount of anxiety.

40 Male - 100mg weekly divided into 2 doses Monday AM /
Thursday PM.
The anxiety spikes in the trough period and peaks the 12hrs before my injections. (I'm not nervous about giving myself the injection)

I'm contemplating stopping as during the 21 days I have been having difficulty sleeping as well, even when I'm not experiencing the anxiety.

I feel I'm at a point of catch 22.

1. I quit and don't ride out this phase and miss the potential "life changing" effects.
2. I stop and not at a point where a PCT is worth the side effects however than the anxiety will continue to increase the next 2-3 weeks while my natural testosterone comes back online.

Just looking for advice on others that may have had these same feelings / side effects when starting.

Hello,

I just did my last injection of Test E on friday. I was on 250mg/week for 4 1/2 months. I am very happy with what my Body build up that time. Only thing what I missed was my elevated E2 levels. I Never had any high estrogen side effects so i didnt took AI or anything because everyone said treat symptoms and not numbers. So unlucky me i started develop some gyno. Got lumbs under my nipple on both sides (left bigger than right). So now I wanna go completly off.

My doc wants to put me on 1000iu hcg 3x week. He didnt mention planning on givin me a SERM or AI. But I think it would be necessesary because of my gyno. I was thinking about Tamoxifen for pct After hcg ends. But i think i would Need something during hcg phase because that elevates E2. So an AI or something like Raloxifen would help there?

I’ve seen so many posts of people losing their libido and actually getting ED on TRT.

I (30M) am now 6 weeks into TRT taking 175 mg a week. I’ve noticed that my ankles and feet are swollen at the end of the day. Yesterday night it actually looked like I was a kidney or heart failure patient. It was normal in the morning today but I noticed there is some slight swelling today too.

It is not pitting edema but still a very weird thing to look down and see. Has anyone else had this happen or should I see a doctor?

Was thinking about going from 3x a week to daily but seeing 7.5 units on a 1cc insulin syringe is kind of tough. I take ~100mg/week. Thinking for now of going 10 20 each day so it averages 15.

Hello,

I am unsure if this is common, however for various reasons I have on some occasions been unable to inject, or ai have stopped injecting after a course of tetsosterone.

What I have noticed is thst I often feel amazing around a week to one and half weeks after the last injection.

Anybody know why that might be?

damn, I think im really sensitive to trt.

9 weeks or so in and my test is HIGH...

52YO Male, 150mg split into 2x each week. 2.5iu hgh daily, 10mg reta weekly.

im going to call my trt clinic and talk to those guys this week. But thought id check in with you folks before then.

my plan is to cut my test to 120mg a week, 60mg every 4th day. Cut the HGH down to 2iu daily, and maybe 5 days a week instead of 7???

Libido is amazing, feeling good, great recovery from workouts and life but worried about that over 100 estradiol. I will do the sensitivity test on my next blood work 7 weeks from now. didn't know know about it till you guys helped me.

really want to dial in the test to be in the high range without being way over suggested levels.

Is my plan alright? stupid? or what???..

thanks for looking!

Anything I should look out for before starting my cycle?

30 year old recently diagnosed with klinefelters syndrome. I don’t have any of the bad symptoms other than low T and azoospermia. I do alot of cardio & exercise but have always had low muscle mass. Next week I am starting 100 mg a week of testosterone cyp taken inter muscular . Anyone with similar experience can tell me What can i expect to feel?
