@Tug Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
One follow-up question. The labs from 12/20/2023 were take 6 weeks after I stopped the Anavar. At that time, the SHBG was 35.9, which is roughly where it was on 9/18/2023 prior to starting any Anavar. And yet, my total testosterone on 12/20/2023 was 544...
Prior to taking testosterone, I was taking 25 mg of encolmiphene every other day. My total testosterone at this time was 593 ng/dL
About a year ago, I stopped the enclomiphene started taking 105 mg/week of testosterone cypionate, administered sub-Q every other day. After 3 months, my total...
I am getting my testosterone prescribed by a local clinic and am also taking Anavar, which I have ordered from India. I have some blood work that I can't explain. And, I would like to get some advice as to how I should modify my drug and supplement regiment. Where is the correct place to post...
Depending on the vendor you go with, somewhere from 2 to 6 weeks. From the responses above, seems like it might not be a great option for steroids. But, at least for the drugs I have purchased from them, I have zero complaints. The rapamycin, empagliflozin and tadalafil that I purchased are...
I've ordered a number of drugs from sellers on IndiaMart, including Rapamycin (Sirolimus), Tadalifil (Cialis), Empagliflozin (Jardiance) and Oxandralone (Anavar). I know the Rapamycin, Tadalifil and Empagliflozin are legit, because they give me the same side effects that I get when I order...
I guess I don't quite understand your response @petefox . My question about taking anavar continuously was under the assumption that my LDL, ApoB and blood pressure are on the low end of the normal range. Assuming they are, why would I need to cycle off the anavar and/or take a statin, garlic...
@mmaphd @petefox
Thanks again to both of you for taking the time to respond to my questions. One other question for you: if my LDL, apoB, and blood pressure remain on the low end of the normal reference range (or below, in the case of LDL and apoB), is there any need to cycle off the anavar...
@mmaphd Thanks. Yeah. I'm on test cyp and I pin every other day (0.2 mL at a concentration of 200mg/mL).
So, if I stop, anavar, just to be safe, one full week before a blood draw, this shouldn't affect the free or total test on a blood draw?
Basically the title. I'm on 160 mg of testosterone per week (injecting sub-Q every other day). Recently, I started taking 20 mg/day of Anavar. Two questions.
1. Will the anavar affect my free and/or total testosterone levels?
2. If so, how long before my next blood test should I stop...
I think the results for hip resurfacing depend highly on getting a skilled surgeon. In the USA, Dr. Gross (in SC) and Dr. Pritchett (in Seattle), having been doing resurfacing for 20+ years and claim to have results similar to what Dr De Smet mentioned. The McMinn intitute in the UK has...
BTW, just looked up the original email I have from my surgeon. Here's what he wrote regarding survival.
"At your age, with this bone quality and being a male patient, the best what you can have is a well done metal on metal resurfacing, where we have a survival of 98% at 22 years!!"
In the...
You can correct me if I'm wrong. But, I thought the reason to go on something other than just test was that things like Deca have a higher ratio of anabolic to androgenic effects. At least, that was why I was going to hop on Deca. It's easy enough for me to increase the test dose. I don't...
My understanding from talking with a number of different hip surgeons is that the main mechanism for failure these days is "stress shielding." Basically, when you get a hip replacement or resurfacing, this changes how stress is distributed on your bone. Less stress (or different stress)...
Most result blood work (after having been on TRT for about 6 months) were:
LAB: my result (ref range) ... just giving approximate values, as I don't want to bother with decimal points right now
MCV 91 (81 - 98)
MCH 28 (24 - 34)
MCHC 32 (32 - 36)
RDW 13 (11 - 14) ... was previously as high as 22...
