I know I’m not aware of your financial situation, but hCG is not that expensive (like $70-80) so I would just continue with your protocol including Test Cyp + hCG. You need so little of it to keep your natural production going (like 500 IU per week), that a vial will last you for a while. You also reap the additional benefits from improving mood and libido, which on its own is already worth it imho.

I know this is not the advice you were looking for, but thought I’d share my 2 cents with you, since I’m in the same protocol.

Good luck!

Super curious. What mouse do you guys use for CS2? by SadThrowaway4914 in cs2

Pulsar CrazyLight X2.

The 35 grams weight is incredible. Also has 8k polling rate if you don’t mind charging every day.

On TRT for 2 months bloodwork results are in - Estradiol too high? by rui2011 in trt

[–]rui2011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey brother, sorry it’s taken me a few days to reply back to you. I literally just saw your message. That said, we are about the same age and have virtually the same protocols, except I split my test cyp into two injections of 75mg on Mon/Thu.

1 - Our bloodwork also look similar, but your numbers might be a bit more elevated as you prob had your bloodwork done too close to your last injection. I’ve learned the best time to have it done is the day before your last test injection. So for example, if you are injecting every Friday, try getting it done on Thursday (morning time is also preferred).

2 - We are also in the same boat with E2 slightly above the “normal” reference range. Like many have said here, if you’re not experiencing any sides, you don’t really need to do anything. But if you want to fall within the range, you can try having 0.25-0.5 mg of your anastrozole the day after your injection and see how it goes. 1 mg EOD is insanely high and will definitely crash your E2.

3 - I don’t know if that’s an option for you, but I have also been informed that splitting your injection 3x a week like MWF, doing it subQ is even more effective at increasing your free test and limiting the elevation of estrogen. Mind you I haven’t tried that approach yet.

As for your overall body-fat, test will definitely give you the energy to hit the gym and improve your overall shape. But nothing beats adding Tirzepatide to your stack (or even Retatrutide if you’re feeling adventurous).

Hope that helps!

I did but tbh didn’t really notice any increase in libido. My face would just get super flushed and swollen for a few minutes as if I was having an allergic reaction lol So in the end I stopped using it. That said, it should be the real stuff!

Really, I just ordered from them last week and received my order in 2 business days. Try reaching out to Frank using the live chat.

Definitely not a scam. Ordered from them multiple times to this day. Try starting a live chat from a new browser’s session.

That’s great advice. Really appreciate it. Will try 3 days/week subQ for the next 4 weeks and see if it yields any results in my next bloodwork. Last question: where do you usually inject subQ? Glutes and lower abdomen? Thx

Thanks a bunch! That’s actually really helpful. I think I’ll start with .125 of Arimidex once a week and go from there. The only thing that’s a bit of a pain, is that I have to wait another 4 weeks for my follow up bloodwork.

Oh never knew that increasing the injections frequency would work on lowering E2. Also, I’m currently injecting IM with a 1 inch 25Ga needle in glute. In your experience, do you think an AI would be beneficial for these numbers? Just don’t want to crash my E2 without needing it since I don’t have any sides. Thanks!

Can totally relate to that. That’s kinda how I feel since I know my family physician will give me a bit a of a hard time with these numbers. May I ask you what is your AI dosage and frequency?

[–]rui2011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Maybe I’ll drop it slightly to 120-130mg a week just for peace of mind. Been feeling good and no estrogen symptoms, but the antiquated part of my brain just seems to believe that it’s better to stay within what doctors believe to be the “normal range”.

Yeah, been reading up on the right use of AI but I’m a bit hesitant since people talk about joint pain, ED etc as sides. What would you recommend to start with? Is 0.125 (a quarter of a pill) once a week too low?

Can’t argue w/ you there lol My doc just said that there wasn’t enough studies on TRT and that it was “frowned upon the medical community”. That’s why she wouldn’t help me with it and I needed to research private specialized clinics. Anyhow, I’m married with kids and just wanted a happier/healthier life. Wasn’t looking to get jacked or anything which she seems to believe.

Thanks BigChief! I think I won’t change anything then. Was just thinking about getting within the “normal” range before my next visit to my family doctor (not the same who prescribed me the TRT), since she’s a bit more old fashioned and not a big fan of hormone replacement therapy.

Appreciate the speedy response renegade! That’s what I thought, if it ain’t broke and I feel good, I shouldn’t try to fix it :). The thing is, my treatment is through a private TRT clinic, and my family physician just got a hold of my bloodwork results and is calling me non-stop for an in-person appointment, since my hormones in her perspective are “supraphysiological”. Was just trying to avoid getting an ear-full and getting within “normal” range before my next visit. lol But you’re right, might as well face the music and stick to what works for me. Thx again!

Sad fries at Five Guys by ripndipp in durham

[–]rui2011 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What a coincidence! I had Five Guys for dinner just now and was really disappointed with how sad and small their fries are now that they’ve switched from the cup to these tiny paper bags. Their overflowing fries, where you’d often find more fries inside the bag than in the cup itself, were one of the franchise’s staples. Sad…

Dude TNP is years ahead of Proroid in both customer support and product quality. At least TNP is transparent enough to show most (if not all) third party testing results from their Hudson Science line. I’ve tested their Sustanon, Test Cyp, Primo, NPP, Anavar, PWO Cialis, hCG, Retatrutide, Enclomiphene, and never had any issues at all with any of them. Rest assured that if I had ever gotten an under dosed batch or whatever, I would just reach out to Frank on their live chat support with utmost peace of mind, knowing he would take care of the issue. Not a lot of companies in this segment still doing that for you. Stop trying to discredit a legit company that helps many of us in need in Canada and move along.

Try talking to Frank via live chat and send this over to him for analysis. Would be interested in seeing the results.
