No doubt the numbers are way off but any thoughts or experience with tending? I'm currently in a calorie deficit and trying to monitor any loss of lean body mass. The way it's been tending feels right. I don't trust the numbers but the trends seem ok if you have enough data; watching only a...
Just curious what ppl think. Can't get a DEXA scan machine at home so I got a body fat scale. The crazy thing, I have a $20 one which I never trusted. I recently got a well respected one (Retail about $200) and the damn thing gives about the same number, within a percent.
Any thoughts on...
Hello All,
A few months in and my doc is still 'Dialing in' my TRT. Long story but I am looking for another doctor. I'm the meantime, I'm hoping to get some advice here.
Regardless of what the numbers, as a % of total my free is generally low. Ex: Total 1063 and Free 8.3. It's in the...
Thank You. I
Thank You !!!
I skimmed the diet info you suggested, looks interesting, I'll definitely dig into it further. I'm aware of the potential of T3 to go after muscle also which was why I planned to bump up my Test. I considered also adding Winstrol to keep that in check, any...
Planning to run an 8 week nuclear assault on body fat. I've let myself slide, time to reel it back in. I've never used either compound and am looking for some first timer advice.
My plan is to increase TRT dosage to 400 mg, pyramid both clen and T3, running clen 2 on/off. My only fear is...
I was just reading a bit about DNP and honestly it scared the crap outta me. I've never seen anything so powerful at stripping fat. I was getting really interested till the last side effect noted: Death. WTF?
I'm guessing even in small doses this stuff is a no go? If still be interested...
Thanks Brother. IDK why I didn't get notification back when this posted. I'm thankful for the reply and sorry I missed it, but here we go...
I ran cycles many times. The last few years I cruised on my own. Decided I wanted a legit source. I intentionally stopped it all to crash and get...
Just got my reply.
She's saying they like patients to be 500-800. Said also for symptoms it can be a little higher but 950-1000 is far too high. She added, they do not base supplementation on Free testosterone because it fluctuates to much to be a reliable reference.
Repeated to reduce...
You're absolutely right. I guess maybe I'm over reacting about the Free. I'm just a bit paranoid that reducing total will push free under the line.
It wasn't the same all 3 but was directly related to the total. Obviously the first everything was crushed.
Second blood, total was 1228...
The other blood markers weren't run this time. I understand dialing in. I just got frustrated when the ordered 3x /week. My biggest concern right now is this low Free Testosterone. Idk what can be done? They want my total a little bit lower which I worry will drive free way down.
I...
I tried for so long to get a legit TRT script. I didn't want an online clinic ($$). It was only coincidence at the urologist I saw signs for TRT. He was really friendly about it and after two blood draws had my insurance approved and going. Now.... I'm beyond frustrated.
It's like...
Yes pg/ml. The medical portal that posts my results lists the Free Testosterone Normal Range as 7.2 - 24 pg/ml. They didn't run SHBG so I can only guess it's high.
I'm really trying to find ways to raise this
There absolutely is a Urologist. These updates and messages are coming from the PA. I messaged today asking to at least tell me their desired levels instead of telling me lower.
I've mentioned twice about my free being on the low end and not wanting to reduce anymore.
She ordered blood...
Exactly... Up to this point I was trying to just follow instructions exactly, even though I have a few years experience on my own.
I'm down to 1 mg/wk. I just hope the doc leaves my T dose alone at this level. They seem really conservative. I can always just continue but wait a little...
New Blood...
Total; 1063 ng/dl
Free: 8.3 pg/ml
Estradiol: CRASHED <5 pg/ml
They reduced my Adex but I'm waiting to hear what they want about the shot. I'm worried their idea of "Normal" is far less than mine.
This E2 crash needs corrected bad....
I'll give this a try. I have blood in 3 wks so I'll find out then. Any thoughts on my Free Test being only 9? I'm trying to understand how my body reacts to Free vs Total?
