Thank you. I will post any further studies stemming from the original database.

^This. You're essentially near the ~40th percentile with values 400-500. Were these early AM blood draws? That means 40% of normal men have levels less than yours. While a T of 400-500 may not be optimal for bodybuilding, it is not pathologic and doesn't require treatment. The ED should be...

Ha.. forgive my ignorance. :) Thanks for clarifying.

Thanks for the kind words. Will certainly be around a bit. One of my primary interests outside of urologic surgery is HRT and fertility maintenance while on HRT. I'm hoping to make it part of my practice in the future, as I think it can be improved from what patients are currently receiving...

Let me do some looking. Most of my research was focused on spermatogenesis, but I happened across the ASIH papers as well. I saved them, but didn't dive too deep into them yet. I'd have to look if it's primary testicle failure (something happening at the leydig cell level) or upstream in the...

Thanks for updating me on the various uses of dopaminergics. I was previously aware of the partitioning/dieting aspect of the drugs and have read Lyle McDonald's Bromocriptine book which is a rather extensive review of their role in dieting. Great book. I wasn't very familiar with using it with...

I can reassure everyone that no IPs or anything else were logged during this study. I also made sure that the other authors and primary investigator were not aware of the websites participating in the study.

Dopaminergics can be used for sexual enhancement due to there effects on prolactin. Following orgasm there's a prolactin surge which partly accounts for the refractory period. When given in a controlled setting (please see references listed in the paper for complete details) cabergoline improves...

I did a pretty extensive literature review on recovery of HPTA and spermatogenesis following large doses of AAS. Spermatogenesis to non-oligospermic (>20 million) levels occurs in 100% of patients and seems to be independent of dose and duration of steroid use. Average time to recovery is 3-12...

Thanks man!

Hey guys. Thanks for the patience. I've finished the rough draft for the fertility manuscript and attached below. I left the institution and author's names off until all have reviewed and it's ready for submission. I wanted to update the forum and show this was a legitimate study made possible...

Thank you. Still need 10 more. More than 10 is great, but a minimum of 10 to complete accrual. Thanks!

Bumping the threads on all participating forums 1 last time. I need 15 more to complete the study. Thank you to all those who have participated. Expect the manuscript and data in the next couple of months. Please take the survey posted in the first post to finish up the last 15 if you have time...

Thanks! Looking forward to the data and research that will come out of this.

We are up to 275. 25 more participants and I can get this study rolling. Thanks for all the help. If you know anyone willing to take the study please direct them to the link. Greatly appreciate the help! https://surveymonkey.com/s/testosterone_use
