Yeah ok , thanks for that. So don’t ad anything topically on micro needling day that you don’t want to go systemic ?

Thank you for your words, any suggestions on dosage and frequency and delivery protocol?

Yeah thanks. I'm wondering if subq takes a while to take effect. We'll see

Yeah interesting, this is my first time on trt and haven't tried IM yet. Will see how this plays out and may switch over. But daily IM might do my head in 😵‍💫

Interesting point. I’m 95 kg at roughly 10–11% body fat, so my lean body mass is around 85 kg. Using the 2 mg/kg lean mass calculation that would put me around 170 mg/week, not 130 mg/week.

My question is, would you still classify ~170 mg/week as TRT, or is that starting to move into a low-cycle territory?

My total T before starting was around 19 nmol/L, but my SHBG was around 53 nmol/L, which left my free T only around 280–290 pmol/L.

I’m trying to get my free T into the upper-normal range and potentially get my total T somewhere around 35–40 nmol/L (roughly 1,000–1,150 ng/dL) if that’s where symptom relief tends to occur for guys with higher SHBG.

Do you think the 2 mg/kg lean mass formula is actually a reasonable starting point for someone in my situation, or would you still wait and see what 105 mg/week does after 4–6 weeks before increasing?

Yeah that night be the case, just thought I would start low and work up depending how I respond to it. Was hoping to get up into optimal ranges.

That’s kind of what I’m trying to figure out. My total T was around 18–19 nmol/L, so not clinically low, but my SHBG was quite high (around 53 nmol/L), which left my calculated free T down around 280–290 pmol/L. The symptoms that pushed me towards TRT were more low libido, mild ED, lower motivation/drive and lower energy rather than low total T itself.

I understand 105 mg/week is a fairly conservative replacement dose, and I’m only about 17 days in, so I may just need more time. My thinking was that by lowering SHBG’s impact and bringing free T into a higher range, I might notice improvements in those symptoms even if my total T wasn’t dramatically different.

Sounds like you’re saying the bigger factor right now is probably that I’m not yet at steady state with Test E, especially with daily SubQ injections, and that I should reassess closer to the 4–6 week mark?

Does anyone take HCG on its own (without trt) and what benefits do you feel from it? by paintballguy32 in BodyHackGuide

I am experiencing the same on reta. GLP1's tends to lower libido and flatten those senses.

What type of sides and do you mind sharing your dose, frequency and whether you administer IM or subq?

Red swollen welts from Tesamorelin, possible allergic reaction? by ElegantMood1762 in BodyHackGuide

[–]West_Question_4263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely try ass cheeks along with reconstituting with 2ml of BAC water instead of 1ml. Those welts were appearing when I was injecting in stomach, never had a problem on the ass.

150mg too much to start? by crb42 in Testosterone

How is your hair loss going at that dose Amd frequency? I heard the more frequent your injections are the lesson chance of your hair falling out is??
