Agree with this. Every other week is old school. Too much of a roller coaster - the last few days of every other week, you will only have about 1/3 of your peak levels and will likely feel the ups and downs. Take 100mg/week. It will probably have a positive impact on your training - part of...

Here's a good study Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) IM vs. SubQ: eje-online.org/content/131/2/173.abstract Serum testosterone was collected after 0, 24 h, 72 h, 120 h and 168 h each week. The cumulated serum and salivary testosterone levels were comparable on both intramuscular and...

A good study comparing Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) only vs. HCG/HMG: eje-online.org/content/147/5/617.full.pdf shows that HMG is important for long term maintenance of spermatogenesis, study summary: In summary, FSH and LH/testosterone in combination and alone are able to maintain...

I missed the rest of your thread. Awesome to hear that you felt good during and after your PCT...alot of guys don't, and don't enough time and wind up going back on T.

High enough doses of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) will almost certainly make you subfertile and probably eventually sterile, but it's temporary and transient. HCG will delay this for several months, but if you want to ensure that you stay fertile during testosterone replacement therapy...

TRT is pretty effective as a contraceptive, if taken at high enough dosages (~200 mg/wk). But it could take many months before you are azoospermic, and even then you might make enough (all it takes is one) so you've gotta be a little careful.

If you've got the "balding gene", testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) will accelerate hair loss, no doubt. DHT is the culprit, but taking a DHT blocker defeats alot of the purpose of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), because it's responsible for alot of the benefits - feelings of well...

You may feel a little crappy for awhile. Typically, men feel increases and decreases in T. In other words, your best weeks of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) are usually in the beginning (wow, this is great!), and your worst are when you stop -- kind of like when you're taking off in...

There are alot of new studies coming out on fertility and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), and the scientific knowledge is still evolving. You're correct, that much T will completely shut down spermatogenesis in most men over 3-4 months. How much one is shut down depends on what...

Lots of recent studies out there about this. In short, IM peaks quicker and declines quicker. SubQ takes longer to peak but lasts longer, but there's no difference in overall T production.

Hi all - just signed on to this forum. I'm a 45 yo who has 25 years on and off of Testosterone. My early use was more related to weight training, now it's more related to fighting father time. I studied Biochem in college, have read 1000's of scientific articles on HRT, and have experienced...
