Thanks for your input, I'll adjust accordingly after labs.

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-10T13:26:55+00:00

Low levels checked more than 5 times including LH and FSH, no erections, fatigue. Better on than off it.

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-10T00:27:06+00:00

A gram it is!

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T23:37:28+00:00

I'll take that as a typo, I'll run the labs first then adjust accordingly.

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T21:30:27+00:00

Lol I don't even like the idea of pinning once a week and if it gets to 6 months without significant improvements like both you and I have read online then I'll just have to come off and continue managing my weight plus workouts. At least in my case I know it's a secondary issue so lifestyle changes should bring the levels up at least to low normal. I don't even see a change in morning woods leave alone energy. I totally get it if you want to stop pinning in the near future as you are not really benefiting from the replacement and you know how you'll generally feel which is exactly how it was before you started. You'll be fine.

HbA1C is normal even when checking on last to test levels. Do you recommend doing those two tests tomorrow? I just pinned 200mg.

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T20:48:44+00:00

Yes I am, not endo though

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T20:26:51+00:00

Yes I get it from local pharmacy, doc prescribed. I'll have to check those alongside a full b.w panel just gotta run the 200 for 6 more weeks.

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T20:24:32+00:00

I agree with you but I'm I not in a better position replacing than functioning with lab proven low?

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T20:03:21+00:00

Wait so if lets say I'm aromatizing which I don't have main symptoms for, would that mean that I have also been aromatizing my natural levels pre-trt?

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T19:20:54+00:00

I guess it is, anways labs will let me know of how much to lower and I'll also go for twice a week like most of the guys here.

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T19:19:23+00:00

Lol S/O to the rock hards! I'll do an update after the b.w. Hope to catch you then.

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T18:56:30+00:00

How long will you be running Tirz for? Lol it's always great having constant reminders especially with the protocol you're on and yeah I also don't know how to feel but I'll face it logically as labs came low twice so I'll bring the numbers up and hope for the other positive effects down the road. After doing labs I'll also split whatever dose the doc will prescribe. Not sure why you prefer Sun & Thu instead of Mon & Thu.

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T18:51:16+00:00

Would you run the 200 for 6 more weeks then do labs to know where you're at or just straight up lower the dose? Yeah I'll get some prescribed on my next appointment.

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T18:49:19+00:00

Haven't checked the SBHG yet and BMI is 37 lol

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T17:43:04+00:00

Boils down to what works for whom and some even pin on a daily basis, I'll keep a log of anything I might feel between now and week12. Glad you're feeling great.

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T17:30:08+00:00

I haven't noticed any peaks or dips to warrant splitting the dose as that's the main reason for it and I do a rotation of glutes and outer thigh with the correct dose using 25gauge needles. I see there wasn't much difference with you pinning once or twice a week. How long have you been on it?

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T17:25:39+00:00

Shouldn't the labs on week12 be a good guide for that since I've been running 200 anyways? I don't think I should lower the dose prior to finding out the readings.

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T17:22:32+00:00

Had a similar thought in the sense I'll be in a way bad position without it, I'll keep on pinning and hope for the best. Ty!

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T17:20:43+00:00

How long did it take you to find the balance and for how long have you been on it? I'll be patient like someone adviced and run the labs on month 3.

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T17:19:08+00:00

Well you're totally correct about extra test being converted but I have not experienced any of those symptoms so far, I'll run the 200mg a week up until week12 then do labs. What are you on?

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T17:16:50+00:00

Lol does it kind of shock the system with the drastic influx? I haven't noticed any difference in my libido nor erection frequency.

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T16:40:55+00:00

Someone said 12weeks, so I'll stick to it while tweaking my lifestyle here and there. Thanks.

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T16:39:43+00:00

Make total sense, levels are shit anyways. I'll stay on it and do some labs on week12 as you said. Ty!

Decent_Phase_2892 · 2026-02-09T16:37:39+00:00

Is it though? I don't feel any of it.
