    Testosterone replacement versus supplementation

    Yep, I did look at it. In particular the LH figures. Going off that data the smallest dose is the most suppressive. So counter intuitive results.

    Testosterone replacement versus supplementation

    The question is, to what extent is the HPTA shutdown? If one was to use 70mg of testosterone, in an ester that had a half life of 14 days, and released aprox. 5mg per day, would that shutdown the HPTA to the same extent as say 700mg? Obviously the 700mg would result in a complete shutdown, but...

    Testosterone replacement versus supplementation

    I was referring to the HPTA shutdown. I could call up again and ask why he thinks there is no concern for testicular shrinkage when using creams. And why it's not listed as a side effect. I'm not saying I disagree with you, only that I've been given conflicting information by both the original...

    Testosterone replacement versus supplementation

    Yes, that is consistent with what the pharmacist said. Why they don't see the need to make mention of testicular shrinkage as a side effect in their product description still puzzles me. The product description (andro fort) also suggests that the creams raise test levels for only an 8-10 hour...

    Testosterone replacement versus supplementation

    I called a pharmacy/manufacturer of transdermal creams. The head pharmacist confirmed that creams do cause a downturn of the HPTA, but for some reason the testes remain active and thus there is no need for HCG. The argument was that creams are not as suppressive to the HPTA as are injections...

    Testosterone replacement versus supplementation

    When on 100mg per day my E levels were OK. However my physician suggested that apart from Oestrogen there are many types of E that aren't tested for and are not understood. Test level was at 38 (or 1104).

    Testosterone replacement versus supplementation

    The advice from the prescribing clinic was to apply the cream first thing every morning. This being when Test levels are highest and when the body's own natural production ramps down. As my levels were only moderately low, the dosage I was given was possibly too high. The creams would work ok...

    Testosterone replacement versus supplementation

    My understanding differs to yours. You may be right but then many others would be wrong. Would you agree that One's T-levels are not set in stone? Sure there is an upper limit which once attained, or surpassed, will result in no more T-being produced. That is T-production is cut-off, and one's...

    TRT or not TRT - that is the question...

    So I tried the clomid 20mg four times now. Twice on consequetive days, along with Tamoxifen. Didn't feel great at all from this. But wasn't sure if it was trt withdrawals or the PCT. Waited another week and tried again. Just the clomid this time. It brought on a acute depressive feeling, so...

    TRT or not TRT - that is the question...

    Ok. Presumably they will come with dosage instructions. I've ordered Liquid Tamox 50mL 20mg/mL Liquid Clomi 70mL 35mg/mL So I'm not sure how long this should last me and how long I should take the medication. I've no doctor to consult with here. Thoughts? Thanks again!

    I'm scouting for a new doctor. Once experienced in this space.

    TRT or not TRT - that is the question...

    I've ordered Liquid Tamox 50mL 20mg/m and liquid Clomi. Thanks for the advice. I didn't realize these were the same thing as clomid. Presumably they are oral medications.

    TRT or not TRT - that is the question...

    To get proper PCT meds such as Clomid requires a prescription. I don't have that option in my case. I had a look at what was on offer at the RUI site, but nothing jumped out as a a clear PCT medication. Plus the reviews for Tamoxifen seemed fabricated, with no mention as to the nature of the...

    Day 10: Blood test results LH is back to 3, T is at 342 So I seem to have recovered somewhat.
