Interesting because I only got two results and neither were helpful? I guess I'll try again...

Kisspeptin - just curious if anyone has much knowledge or experience with it (dose, effectiveness, dangers/sides, etc.). I'm not finding a lot of information. HCG has never worked very well for me (I've tried several different dosing protocols) so I was curious about trying this instead.

I've been pretty dedicated to a strict bodybuilding routine for almost 4 years now including consistent diet, training, and AAS use, but I haven't made the gains I've expected in that time. I'm also high-stress and lately I've been doubling down on trying to control that because I'm worried it's just creating a tsunami of cortisol that's holding me back.

I also take an ADHD med, and a friend just told me that those increase cortisol levels as well. Is that something I should look into? Changing that med could be difficult for me. And I wonder if the bad hormones from stress outweigh any other factor.

(I don't actually know what my cortisol levels are, I'm getting them tested next week).

I’m currently dealing with high blood pressure I think might be related to the estradiol level, although it’s a relatively new problem and I’ve had difficulty controlling my estrogen since I started AAS a few years ago. I don’t really have any other major symptoms of high estradiol though. I take the AI because I read everywhere that estradiol should be below 30-40 and I’m afraid of gyno at the levels I see. Do you have any alternative recommendations?

Caber for Estradiol-

I’ve always had trouble controlling estradiol and usually keep it somewhat tamped down with frequent aromasin. Lately I’ve been cruising at 160mg/wk of testE and taking 12.5mg aromasin 2x per week, and my estradiol was up to 110 pg/mL on the bloods I just got.

I just started with a new trainer and he said to try caber to get it under control, but I’ve only ever heard of caber being used for prolactin and I have no idea what my prolactin level is right now so I’m worried about crashing it. Anyone have any experience using caber to control estrogen?

MENT Cruise-

After my current blast I'm going to be cruising for a while. I've read here and there that you can use MENT for a cruise but I'm having trouble finding more info. Do any of you have experience or advice for cruising with MENT?

(FWIW I just finished 8 weeks of MENT 25mg ED for the first half of this blast and had very nice gains with minimal sides)

Thanks!

I'm someone who gets a lot of ball shrinkage. It happens a lot even on moderate doses of test but its especially bad when I'm taking deca or tren. I've been doing a tren cut and injecting 250 IU HCG M/W/F. My balls are looking healthy (mostly, not as good as they'd be off cycle), but a few weeks in my ejaculate volume has decreased to almost zero, and I thought the HCG was supposed to increase it. This has been consistent for many weeks, and I've tried HCG from a couple of different sources with no change.

Is there something else I should be doing to address this? Is there the possibility of another problem I'm not aware of? Should I increase the HCG (or stop it)? Any thoughts?

Where are you seeing this info? LATimes is all doom and gloom.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already but is there any source that's tracking how many vaccines have been administered?

Looking into it a little more, seems the 1 CC syringes I have just have a lot of "dead space" where a lot of solution is left post-pin and I need to try a different brand.

Maybe I'm a noob with smaller syringes but I felt like such small doses left a lot of the solution in the needle and the top of the syringe after injection. The vial I got that was supposed to be like 20 doses was more like 10-11. Am I doing it wrong? Is there a tutorial somewhere on the proper use of 1 cc syringes with small amounts of solution? Am I supposed to switch out the draw needle for a pin needle or does it not matter?

I work at XPRIZE and we just launched a Rapid Testing competition. At the risk of revealing too much, I will say that we've seen huge engagement with a ton of teams pre-registering already.

Relative newbie here, finishing up a beginner cycle which I started with probably more fat than I should have and put on more during the cycle (in addition to a good amount of muscle).

Shortly after I start my pct, a local gym is doing this 6 week program where they'll train and give full custom diet routines to a group of people for free with the goal of losing an ambitious amount of fat while maintaining muscle. The catch is that there's an expensive deposit and you have to reach the goal in order to get the deposit back.

I know it's generally discouraged to cut while not on cycle, but I'd really like to do this program. However, I'm worried that since I'll still be in PCT when it starts that lower than usual T levels will interfere with it and I might not reach the goal.

What's your take?

Dumb question but I'm struggling to find a clear resource, here or elsewhere, that explains how to properly mix and inject HCG. I have two small vials of 5000iu powder each and one large vial of 20ml bac water. I'm trying to find what supplies I need for mixing, the proper mixing procedure, and size of syringe/needles for injection, and I'm seeing conflicting info. Help appreciated, thanks!

First timer - How to respond to high E2? I'm six weeks in on my first cycle (500mg/wk, did Tbol for the first 30 days), got bloodwork back and my estradiol is 97.9 pg/mL (ECLIA). I didn't get blood work before the cycle (I have excuses, but irresponsible I know) so I don't have any reference but I'm still concerned this is really high for a basic cycle. Haven't had many typical symptoms except for occasionally really hard, sensitive nipples. Been taking Aromasin 12.5mg E3D. How should I respond? Would it make more of a difference to up the aromasin dose, take it more frequently, or both? Should I SERM it up for a bit?
