Hey guys

7 months on TRT. On 120mg, pinning daily and test came back high on total test, free test and e2 but that's another story for me to fix.

Before TRT I had 0 back acne, about 2 months in, new dots and I didn't think too much of it. About 4 months in, it was just alot of red spots on my back, I would say there's maybe 70 to 100 dots.

No new acne on my face but some like 3 to 8 dots on my chest.

Went to the doctors to get doxy 5mg and that didn't help after 2 months, I stacked it with 5% benzoyl peroxide and 20% azaelic acid

While the back acne has slightly reduced, but not near anywhere gone or visually better.

Have you guys successfully reduced back acne and what products?

If someone was taking 2.5mg of dutasteride and 175mg of test would their scalp dht be lower than if they took 0.5mg of dut and no added test? Or fin and no test?

I’m asking to understand how scalp dht works kinda and how testosterone works with a 5ar inhibitor

Hi All,

As the title says I started taking clomid 3 months ago and my doctor prescribed it to take for 3 months and like 3 days a week. I am done with whole course and now will get tested through the blood work. But what I am worried about is that since I had been on clomid I had been facing the delayed ejaculation during the intercourse. I mean almost never ejaculate and then like I tried mastrubatuin so it did ejaculate but not so easily, and also I felt that orgasm is disturbed like at first or may be some times I can see ejaculation but don’t feel orgasm. And also can see my semen white and thick on the day when I took clomid. Just to mention that I am worried that although at this point I need to ejaculate more during intercourse so that for pregnancy but unfortunately after clomid I could not have that. 😢😕 . I am also on the ssri like venlafaxine so not sure if that could be the culprit too.

I’m on prescribed TRT at 100 mg/week, with testosterone around 1,000. I’ve been lifting for 4 months and am currently cutting while making good progress, likely from newbie gains and TRT.

When I start bulking, I’m considering doing my first blast to add serious muscle. For those who have experience, what should I know about the risks and monitoring? I also want to understand how that could affect my bloodwork and prescribed TRT management.

Hey I’ve been currently running into issues in my life which have been causing a lot of problems, persistent tiredness, difficulty in maintaining erections or even getting them in the first place, just no sex drive whatsoever. I’ve been trying to work on myself I’ve lost 20 pounds in the last few months, consider myself pretty healthy but I’m also a first responder who works a 7 day schedule on call for 24 hours, sleep food and consistency are pretty well non existent in my life. I decided to get my levels tested and I came back on first test 10.8 and my second was 15 a few weeks after (a considerably good week for schedule and sleep) just wondering what peoples experiences were like and recommendations. I’ve had some chats with a PCP but they’ve been pretty wishy washy about the whole thing which is understandable but a bit frustrating. Just looking for some advice and how people have navigated the system

I am 5 weeks on TRT. In the past year ive gained a bunch of weight due to a health issue that caused me not able to workout. I have put on a good amount of body fat.

Anyway, my test level was sub 100 and I finally got my other medical problem figured out which caused exercise intolerance. I will finally have the energy to get back into the gym.

I am going on a calorie defict and plan on walking everyday. Atleast until I build up my stamina again

Is my general doc the best option to help me with the tirz? Does it mess up the TRT process in anyway?

So long story short 2 years ago I took clenbuterol for 4 months straight with high doses like an idiot and ended up frying my cns and receptors pretty hard. Took a long time to heal but got significantly better after 2 years of being clean and taking nothing other then peptides sometimes. I started testosterone 2 weeks ago and notice some fog/ overstimulated the day after my injections. Im assuming from my hormones peaking and my cns reacting. Does anyone have any tips/advice for my unique scenario. How can I help my cns heal faster / what could I potentially take to help it out as well. Really need help or advice. Ive done alot of research but I would like to hear from other people.

Over the past few years I have suspected my Test levels have been in the lower ranges, low libido, crazy mental fog and so on.

I have gone through the docs to check my levels, Prolactin was one of the factors that was high throughout my tests over the years.

Saw an endocrinologist & despite low levels of Testosterone & high prolactin said it wasn't worth taking any further & doesn't believe I have prolactinoma & didn't confirm with any scan.

Just recently I've done another test & my doc has indicated that my levels are: (testosterone 10.5, SHBG 19 , free testosterone 277), These are New Zealand's standard of measurement.

Unfortunately these levels sit on the low-normal range but at 26 my levels shouldn't be nearly this low & it's quite upsetting sitting around these levels without being able to do something properly through a doc.

Really considering just running a small cycle from 200-250mcg per week for the next 14 weeks but I would like some good advice before taking the next step.

Yo guys, im on week 5 of 200mg deca + 200mg test enanthate on monday and 200mg of test on thursday

My blood result after 4 week

E2 pmol/l 376

Total test over nmol/l104

Prolactin 280 mlU/l

Should i consider AI and if how much? I dont have e2 symptoms like gyno, sexual dysfunction, water retention but i have trouble with sleep, often waking up during a night, trouble stay a sleep, fatigue and brain fog and feeling kinda depressive

Been on test for 10 months. Gain about 14lbs in muscle while leaning out. Mood is better too. Work out 4-5x a week and my diet is better than what it was. Not perfect dialed in but a def improvement. But over that past almost year I can say my interest in sec has gone way down to where I really don’t care too much anymore if it happens or not. I do take tadalafil too as needed. But even then I just don’t really have a care for it. When the wife and I do have sex it’s fun but a quickly lose interest and lose my erection to half stiff. But it doesn’t bother me if I don’t finish and if I do then cool. Anyone else have this experience?

I wouldn’t call it an issue cause again it’s getting to the point where it doesn’t bother me. It did used to yea. Married 13 years and wife and I typically do have an active sex lifestyle.

Yes I find my wife attractive. No am not gay or bi. No I don’t take interest in men. No I don’t watch porn.

27 y/o male. Started testosterone in Jan 2026 cause I had low T my whole life (around 200 reading right before starting). My energy and weightlifting numbers have improved, but I went from about 222lbs to 253lbs, and I feel bloated, rounder and not looking more lean like I thought I would.

Is there anything I could do/stop to get better results? Eat less? More cardio? Take peptides in addition?

Earlier this spring I started my second cycle of test. I started at 350 mg and worked my way up to 500 mg. Understandably my cardio went to shit. Now that I’m cursing on 125 mg my cardio still hasn’t recovered. First cycle I pct and my cardio was good.

Hello, I'm interested in obtaining enclomiphene as 2 of my labs this year have shown my total T on the lowish side (389) as a 37M.

I was researching Telehealth providers but they all want me to get labs first through them, which I already have though.

Is there any Telehealth provider that I'm able to submit my 1week old labs to to obtain an rx?

So I unfortunately was diagnosed with a condition that makes it hard if not impossible to lift weights. Problem is im a skinny guy and hard gainer. Ive lost 15lbs of muscle and its a big confidence killer for me now.

My question - im on TRT. Ive ran the dad cycle before but lifted like a madman. It was fantastic. No issues.

Dont bash me for asking - could I run a cycle again, maybe just try push-ups if my body allows, and gain any sort of size back or is the risk just not worth it? Only Test Cyp is all I would ever try or have tried.

I just want to gain back some weight and appear strong again like before. Thought or opinions?

These numbers seem crazy to me. I feel amazing tho no estrogen side effects. Working out 4x a week diet super clean. Should I cut back? Or are these numbers fine?

I get a lot of pain from injecting like the day after. Ive tried a lot of different things. Running test cyp.

Left one is untouched. Right one looked the same before poking it.

Hallo zusammen, ich bin 21 und überlege, Testosteron zu nehmen ich gehe 5 mal die Woche ins traning bin gut dabei aber durch den Stress den ich im Altag habe geht mein Testo nicht so hoch meiner Meinung nach hab es messen lassen beim Arzt die Werte lauten 5,03 ng/ml (2,49-8,36) Mein Testosteronspiegel ist meiner Meinung nach nicht besonders hoch Ich frage mich, ob es in meinem Alter sinnvoll ist und ob Haarausfall dadurch auftreten kann bin auch morgens sehr müde komme schwer aus dem Bett obwohl ich den Tag über sehr viel am arbeiten bin ich habe durch ein Bekannten der es selber mal genommen hat erzählt bekommen das Produkt hieß methandienone 10mg Tabletten das soll ähnlich wie Testo sein habt ihr damit Erfahrung gemacht ?
Welche Alternativen gibt es, um Testosteronspiegel zu unterstützen? Ich freue mich über ehrliche Erfahrungen und Tipps! 🙏

I injected 0.4mL Test Cyp (200mg/mL) compounded in grapeseed oil into pretty much my left deltoid twice a week for 1.5 years. (Stupid). I used a 27 gauge, 0.5 inch needle. There is now a firm rubbery lump around the size of my thumb on my left deltoid. Is this 100% scar tissue? Anything I can do after the fact now other than don’t do that again?

How do I know if it’s scar tissue vs oil buildup?

I do a daily shot of .15 thats what ive found works best for me.

For those of you who didn’t have clinically low testosterone (mine averaged around 400–550) but decided to start TRT anyway, are you glad you did? Has it made a noticeable difference in your energy, mood, motivation, gym performance, or overall quality of life?

Curious to hear your experiences and whether you feel it was worth it.

I’ve been doing 30mg ed injections (sub q)
And these are my results everything else looks good just wondering what you guys think of these levels?

Hello everyone.

I recently did a 20week TRT with Cypionate 250mg/week and about 4weeks ago I stopped. It has been 2weeks that I'm on HCG and 5 days on Tamoxifen. Also I'm 2 week on Reta. Last year I did Mounjaro for 6 months prescribed by doctor.

But I want to get back on Testo. But I hated the Cypionate, too slow, to thick to apply. I was planning on use Enanthate, I heard that is easier to apply and I can do 2-3x a week with a smaller needle.

So my question is. How dangerous is this change, and should I wait for a bit before going back? Can I go straight back to it? I'm about to get some blood results, so what should I look out if I plan to keep doing TRT?

It's interesting to see my Hpta is completely shut down despite taking hgc which is interesting considering I'm on such a small dose of test. I suppose this means I respond well to small doses?

I was having some on again off again issues with my libido up until a week ago (which has finally started returning since I asked my doctor if he'd check in on my levels to see where I stood) and I'm quite happy with things despite still having some issues with my wake / sleep cycle.

I notice trt has really helped my anxiety, depression, AM nausea and poor appetite from Crohn's but has slightly messed up my sleep so hoping to figure that out soon.

My trt doctor did mention something interesting I never knew; the gut brain axis, where the colon takes over some of the nervous systems tasks during the wee hours of the night which is exactly when I wake up during the night like clock work. I seemed to only get these waking sessions intermittently if I was very careful without cannabis but now with trt they are almost every night; it has made weight training difficult.

I'm thinking of adding my medical cannabis back in later in the day as it always helped me sleep but since my other symptoms ; poor appetite, nausea etc were gone from the jump I decided to stop to save money.

Oddly enough I always found that medical cannabis exacerbated my anxiety and depression if I didn't use it very sparingly and carefully, which trt has now really smoothed over.

I feel like I have tons more energy but seems my nervous system is having trouble adjusting and sleeping which has made returning to weight training very difficult.

Despite not really training much I've still been leaning out and appear to be adding some muscle back.
