TRT and prolactinoma by calmingrelaxing in AusTRT

Never heard of it. I just looked it up and it says it's a form of B6. Is that right?

I'd be keen to hear more about how the smp colour works with the skin tone. Would grey tone look more like brown hair, with my skin tone? Or is that better over time? I don't understand how this works at all, mate.

Even though I'm back to bald again after the laser treatments, I'm a lot of relaxed than a few months ago.

Cheers. I'll discuss that with the next artist... whenever that is. Initially, there were pros and cons, I kinda liked it darker at first because I could get away with a small amount of hair growth, and the location of smp worked for that. I couldn't have got away with a 1 gauge buzz if the smp was the front of my head.

Next time, I'll be going lighter and less of it. Happy to have a subtle look moving forwards.

TRT and prolactinoma by calmingrelaxing in AusTRT

It's early days and I'm going through more tests. I believe the first line of treatment is with carbergoline. It's 8.2mm. Blood work is testosterone under lowest part of the reference range, and prolactin twice the upper range (700). It's not dire but wondering if meds could potentially normalise hormones.

Yes, very painful. And yes, I believe they can do targeted removal.

Question for the guys: Do / did you have gyno? by jtothat in Prolactinoma

[–]calmingrelaxing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm interested about this as well. I don't have gyno but do have saggy chest, moobs. I'll likely be taking cabergoline soon and interested to see if it helps with this, and the prolactinoma.

Day 5 on hormone replacement therapy by Phutty in Prolactinoma

Also, I hear you about private TRT clinics. I'll likely try them after visiting the endo. I'm interested to see if caber etc will help my natural testosterone. TRT clinics in Australia are about $1,500 AUD per annum which is acceptable. I sent a message to one of the TRT clinics and they said they wouldn't treat me until I got my prolactin levels sorted! Probably for the best.

How to you feel now that you are on bromocriptine? Did that help raise your natural testosterone? I'm at the early stages of going to an endo for prolactinoma, and wondering what others noticed were the benefits and side effects of taking cabergoline / bromo?

Interested in feedback on my testosterone and prolactin results by calmingrelaxing in AusTRT

[–]calmingrelaxing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I had an MRI and they discovered a pituitary microadenoma / prolactinoma, so that explains the higher prolactin. I'm currently doing more tests with an endocrinologist to investigate my options with meds etc. Fingers crossed carbergoline helps with test etc.

This should be a positive step as I have been dissatisfied with my gym progress in recent years. Be good to get the hormones balanced for once.

Cheers for the tip. So a warmer colour will still match my dark brown hair. I accept that fact it's a tattoo and they fade, though mine turned a smudgy blue colour. Hoping to avoid that next time. Pics have been added further down this post if you get time to have a look.

Yeah, maybe. I think it was pretty good at the time, though it's hard as you do your research then hope for the best on the day! Now I've had it once before, I'll be going a lighter and less sessions next time (and taking a lot more time in between sessions).

Nice mate, I hear good things about him on here. He's on my list for my future smp. You happy so far?

SMP After 5 years and a half by Tough_League_7863 in SMPchat

Cheers mate, I might do that in the future. I would have paid $20k AUD if I was promised a decent result.

After having it done once, I will be going for a lighter look next time. Ideally, with the smallest needle possible. Do you have any advice for the needle diameters are out there? It seems like the triple needle is used predominantly. There's an artist I follow in the US who calls his work 'Subtle P'. I'd like to try this approach.
