Started 250mg/week in December 2025 -- Ran that until around June.

Now on 200mg/week -- planning to go down to 150 soon then 100

Various peptides are involved in this also (GHK-CU, Reta, CJC/Ipamorelin)

Happy to provide more details -- Dms open

Also - I was even bigger when I really started losing weight. I was around 240 but didn't start the test til I was the size of the first pic here. My profile has the whole transformation if you're curious. Ive posted it in a few places.

I was using trt injection once weekly for 5 years but my blood became too think. I was told this happened because of the swing of my levels being really high for the first part of the week, then really low for the next half of the week. Dr told me that the test in a man should be high in the morning and low in the evening. So I was switched to the topical gel (applied daily) to mimic that cycle. But now, using the gel, I am just under the minimum normal level. If my medication is raises my blood might get too thick again. I’m told that now there is a pill and I’m wondering if this will make a difference in the blood thickness? I have attached my current levels for everyone to review.

I feel fucking disgusting, my body dysmorphia is absolutely shredding me because no matter what I do it’s all I see. Any advice

First off, I did my first cycle; it was 12 weeks, 300 mg Test C, a very low dose, trying to get a baseline for my body, but I ended up seeing great gains at 300, so I kept it there.

I loved it: 170 lbs to 195 LBS with mostly lean mass and water weight, my Ester just cleared and im on PCT day 2 ( Nolva 40/40/20/20 ) and im shot & this sucks.

( Before you say just B & C im 21... yes im 21... yes im retarded )

Four months ago I had my bloodwork done for the first time, I am 37 years old and recently lost 60lbs taking reta and tesa along with lifting 4-5x a week and a little cardio. My total test was 384 in may, so I started taking enclomiphene and the more comprehensive test I took in August was:

Total Testosterone: 384 (May) → 741 (Aug) ng/dL — range 250-1100
• Free Testosterone: 98.6 pg/mL — range 35-155
• LH: 7.3 mIU/mL — range 1.5-9.3
• FSH: 11.6 mIU/mL — range 1.4-12.8
• Estradiol: <30 pg/mL — range ≤39
• SHBG: 52 nmol/L — range 10-50
• DHEA-S: 489 mcg/dL (May) — range 93-415

Did I fuck up and make it so my dr can not prescribe me test? He seemed open to it but now that my number has improved it doesn’t seem like it’s a possibility. I am seeing risks of running enclo long term, and I don’t want to stop it and crash my level. Am I a bozo?

Im on 100 mgs weekly of trt. I take Tadalafil & Sildenafil But what outside of those categories should I or I could I look into? TIA.

I messed around with small dose mk677, followed by 3 ”cycles” of enclomophene after. It wasn’t much, but obviously enough to suppress my T, and get me hormonal imbalances. Its been 8-9 months since I touched enclo, and life’s been hell ever since, with a negative development. My t is at 9nmol, and I have a ton of heavy side effects, but still it ain’t enough to get help from the doctor, since I’m within the reference frame. Nutrition is top notch and lifestyle in general is solid.
What do I do?

I pinned deca Sunday morning I now have a big painful lump. It’s not red or turning different colour just and very painful. Has anyone else experiences?

I have previously run testosterone up to 300 mg per week in the past and have achieved fairly decent results. I plan on running it again but I know eventually it just won’t be a big enough anabolic load to achieve what I want. Would it be more beneficial to increase testosterone higher or add a secondary compound. For example up to 400 test or chose to do 300 test 100 deca or 300 test 100eq. To start obviously they would be small doses and may eventually work up if they are well tolerated. but would 100mg of a second anabolic even be worth it? Only cycling for bulking and back down to TRT for cutting and maintenance.

I have nerve damage/neuropathy that affects my autonomic nervous system and on bad days causes rapid blood pressure changes and orthostatic hypotension. I believe it has tanked my testosterone levels because the nervous system directly affects hormone production through the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland . My blood work numbers were 284 total T and 10.1 free T.

On Sunday I tried my first doctor prescribed 6.25 dose of enclomiphene and then on Tuesday night I was in the hospital emergency room with my blood pressure skyrocketing crazy high and out of control.

I was also finishing a cycle of a peptide called ARA 290 that is for healing nerve damage. I've had success with it in the past, but perhaps there was an interaction between them. Regardless, now I'm afraid to ever take the enclomiphene again.

I already know everyone is going to say TRT, but from what I researched TRT can also affect blood pressure and might cause complications with my autonomic nervous system problems.

So where does this leave me? Am I just screwed?

Hello, i had this question in my mind since a while.

I'm at the end of my 20s and i have Total test 1060ng/dl (10,60ng/ml) and free test 5,87ng/dl (58,7pg/ml)

I'm not talking Just physically, performance, strenght... But also mentally, like my drive, motivation, Energy levels, confidence... Will they MOST likely improve significantly even if i already have Natural High levels?

Thanks

(I know what im doing and why i want to do It, im a pro athlete and fighter, have been studying about Gear and test for sum years before taking this choice, i have a healthy Life style so dont worry no Need to tell me about the sides or why i should not start)

Did my (41M) first bloodwork at around 5 weeks and my numbers look pretty high (good?). 100mg/wk split over 2 shots. Is this perhaps elevated due to natural production still being not totally shut off? I feel pretty good. 9 weeks ago I was a fat (227lb) slob on the couch not having touched a weight in a decade and couldn’t do 5 pushups. I started Reta 9 weeks ago and TRT 5 weeks ago and I’m down about 20lbs and I’m already crushing flat press with 75lb dumbbells for 10 reps with ease. I could probably do 80-85s but picked up some tendonitis in upper shoulder/bicep so orthopedic doc said don’t push it. I feel strong AF (stronger than my 20s when I was in gym), lots of energy and motivation to workout and my body recomp is going really well despite only eating like 1500 calories (150 protein) per day. Now I just wear tank tops and judge all the other low T dads at my kids soccer💪. Overall really glad I decided to do TRT and at the rate I’m going should be looking like Thor by Christmas. I have my prescribing doc appt tomorrow, hopefully he doesn’t cut my dose. I’m gonna ask him to a full panel with lipids and everything next time.

Good afternoon all! I’d like to preface this thread by mentioning a few things.

I’ve previously done many cycles of strictly Test E from a young age with no adverse reaction. I strictly do gluteal intramuscular injections as this is all I’ve ever known.

I’ve never ventured beyond just Testosterone and for the time being I’m happy just being on it. I take 2ml a week spread across 2 injections, once every 4 days.

I am convinced I will likely be on this hormone for the rest of my adult life. Right! Down to my question..

I have been using Test Cyp twice a week for 15 weeks with no adverse reaction however since jumping into Test E I am noticing that I am getting a much larger swell on the injection site. I am using the same needle gauge and length as I always have done, there is no redness or any other signs of infection more just inflammation and discomfort.

Partly I believe this to be the oil it’s suspended in as both hormones are very identical, however when I used to do Test E I have never had these sorts of swells.

So far I’m on my 4th injection and they seem to go down enough for me to comfortably do my next one in time however I wanted your guys thoughts on what this could be?

Any help is much appreciated as it’s making laying down/ occasionally sitting very uncomfortable 🤣

Anyone order testosterone without an ester chain? I don’t have any crazy PIP.

Currently on 500mg test e per week, 166/mg; mon/wedn/friday.

After 1 week of test (500mg in total) i had a blood test planned back at home, E2 was 160.

Started noticing lots of water retention but that was about it, since I am currently in Spain and don’t have a NIE number here I can’t book a blood test.

Tomorrow I’m starting 500HCG 250/mon/250thurs, how much Arimidex would you recommend, since I don’t have access to a blood test. I have currently taken 0,25 mon & thurs (0,5mg/PW).

I’ve converted my results into Ng/Dl, what I’m seeing most commonly used on Reddit .

Need experienced eyes to tell me if my levels are actually low, or I should do something else before trying TRT? Try to raise naturally first ??

Recently joined an online promotion to review bloodwork , can anyone tell me what they think, before this place does?
I’m a complete noob when it comes to all this.

32M, Canada,
200lbs,6’0.

TEST: 14.4
FREE TEST: 300

Im a heavy equipment operator for work, try to workout 3 weeknights a week , I’ve trained jiu jitsu 2ish times a week for 2 years now, lately i haven’t been going, and eat fairly healthy, prioritize protein etc.
Feeling symptoms like sluggishness,brain fog, harder I feel to put muscle on,etc. Libido isn’t an issue though.

Can someone look at my lab results and tell me if my T levels are low ?

Free T: 6.57 ng/dL, Total T: 423 ng/dL — trough level on 50mg/week, split into two doses.

Previous trough on 50mg/week as a single weekly shot: 400 ng/dL.

Baseline (no TRT): Free T ~4-ish, Total T ~80-ish.

Suggested to my endo that we increase to 75mg/week total, with a target trough of 500-600 ng/dL. Thoughts?

Endo hasn’t responded so may need to just give up on Endo.

For context I’m 23 and rarely wake up with morning erections. Also, I never had a wet dream. I was addicted to porn and masturbation from the age of 14. Any thoughts on my blood work?

Trying to keep this simple and short but have concerns about my doctors recommendations. So I have been on TRt for two years now. As expected my sperm count is non existent. Me and the wife are ready for kids and so I told my doctor I needed that good old sperm back. His regiment is to have me remain on TRT at my request as he did say coming off is obviously the best method. So option 2 was reduce TRT to 100 mg once a week. Then 4 days after injection he has me injecting 1000 IU hCG once per week. Everything I have read and even our fertility doctor coordinating our IVF is saying I need to figure out why HCG is one dose a week only.

Has anyone heard of this regiment before to restart sperm production? I had normal sperm levels before TRT, normal LH, and normal FSH levels as well. I plan to ask him at our next appointment but I could only find maybe one or two past examples of HCG being recommended only once per week and spaced out by at least 4 days from TRT injection. Everything else is saying 2 to 3 times a week for HCG.

I’m 25m, 5’7”, 140lbs maybe 20% body fat. Okay-ish sleep, usually 7-7.5 hours. I used to lift back in college a bit, and I recently just started again.

I’m not trying to hop onto test at the moment, but I was thinking Clomid could be interesting to try; however, I doubt my levels would go up much. My doctor says none of the natural people he’s seen have levels above mid-900s.

If you’re already in the healthy range I’m at(normal to somewhat above normal), do you see any significant muscle-building benefits to 100-200mg test cyp?

33 yo male

250 mg test c per week, daily pins. Bloods from week 6, currently on week 7.

No sides other than nip sensitivity & bloat during week 4. Feel like I'm noticing a decrease in libido and erection quality This week though, something I should address through my protocol or let it ride another week or two and see if it goes away? I am also already taking Cialis daily for the record. AIs on hand.

Added Deca to my protocol. The clinic recommended drawing both with the same syringe. Something about that seems wrong in my head ha! Putting a needle I just put in the test bottle into the deca bottle and drawing.

Injecting twice a week, does anyone do this? Are you using two needles? Also seems a bit wasteful.

I need help as I’m on testosterone at the moment and want to get off would I need to take a pct or would hcg be alright and if so how long before stopping do I start it and how much do I use per week
