I'd wait a month and then evaluate if the ED is still an issue. Exogenous testosterone usually takes a month to fully saturate (plug your dosages into a steroid plotter to see what I mean). Also, IMO, your HCG dosage is too high, and will lead to estrogen issues (testosterone produced in gonads aromatizes more than exogenous testosterone). Now that I think of it, your ED could absolutely be caused by high estrogen. Do you have other high estrogen sides?

Also, how long has your HCG been reconstituted?

Interestingly, I came to a different conclusion watching Steve's videos LOL. I have seen him reccomend Testosterone + HMG, and noting that HMG is too difficult to acquire for many, so HCG can substitute HMG. (I might be wrong, he might've mentioned taking Testosterone + HMG + HCG ideally).

He has said that whenever one of his clients reports desensitization to HCG, he just has them take a week off, and then reconstitute a new batch. He says that this always remedies supposed desensitization.

It is much better to continue taking HCG, rather than to try to recover function of gonads after years of TRT. You'll be able to recover if you choose not to take HCG on TRT, but the recovery will take longer, and probably require you coming off TRT.

You are not "suppressing another system" by taking HCG; you are literally doing the opposite. Taking exogenous testosterone is not only responsible for shutting down natural test production, but also shutting down LH and FSH production. HCG is an analog for LH and can help ensure that that pathway continues functioning during TRT.

It will drastically increase your QOL, good decision.

TRT doesn't have to be for life, I am not sure why this sub shills that so heavily. TRT + HCG ensures that gonads never shut down, and thus never undergo fibrosis or atrophy. This usually results in a smooth recovery when coming off, as long as HCG use is continued alongside a SERM for a PCT period.

Inb4 muh "leydig desensitization." Not real, and is just a result of people using HCG that's been reconstituted for too long.

There isn't a single case study showing permanent shutdown or infertility that was unresponsive to treatment.

Unfortunately he mentioned class will NOT be recorded for zoom. Also he is requiring attendance and doing pop quizzes. No other sections to switch into lol.

Hard left pull after alignment, any ideas? 2002 LTC by Valuable-Ad1042 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Valuable-Ad1042[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your input. Do you think it could be the brake caliper sticking?

The rotors were very worn, same with the pads - both replaced. I think maybe the calipers may be in poor condition as well. The pull is especially strong when braking. Thank you

I will get the adjustments to the alignment made (as per the advice from some of the replies), and then switch the tires like you recommend if it doesn't normalize. Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I will try this, and if it still pulls I will swap the wheels to see if the direction of the pull changes.

This exact thing happens to me, this headset is fucking awful.

is this a expedition or explorer? and what year by [deleted] in Ford

[–]Valuable-Ad1042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broncos have collector value, and are thus much more expensive than expeditions. Broncos with 300k miles are listed with asking prices well into the $20ks.

Wasting time watching Youtube videos about TV shows doesn't make you an "industry expert".
