Hi!This forum is great!I'm from Italy,in this state there is a totally disinformation about testosterone replacement therapy...very bad for me!
This is my story,thanks for comments and reply

I'm 22 years old,at the age of 20 I was about 165 pounds and 5'5'', bf 16%
I travel in Barcelona for 8 days and I have an intossication(from contaminated fish and vegetables)
AST,ALT and bilirubin were too high...I lost about 10 pounds,after 2 mounths blood works was ok.But I was tired everydays.
Here,doctors are all terrible...after one year I measured Hormone levels:
TT 450 (300-1100)
E2 35
Fsh 1,5
Lh 2,5
Thyroid panel is ok

After 3 mounths the values are:
TT 310 (300-1100)
E2 32
Fsh 1,3
Lh 1,8
After 5 mounts:
TT 130 (300-1100)
TF 6 (14-32)
Fsh 1,1
Lh 0,9
E2 15
HGH 0,3 (0,1-5)
Hematocrit(39),Haemoglobin(13,8),RBC(3,8),WBC(4,1),PLT(139)are low,but ferritin are normal
Thyroid is ok,as well as cortisol,prolactin,progesterone,aldosterone
I lost weight:I was 130lbs!bf 15%!

I consult an endo,diagnosis:Anticorpi anti ipofisi
Ipofisi not response on test LH-RH
Therapy:Androgel 1 packet a day

After 8 weeks my values are:
TT 305 (300-1100)
TF 9 (14-32)
Fsh 1,2
Lh 0,7
E2 30
DHT 0,4 (0,2-2,6)
Psa 0.31
IGF-1 160 (180-590)
HGH 0,3 (0,1-5)
Feel very bad...but my endo said that is ok.Androgel incrased my bf more than lbm
Then,I suspend therapy,actually I have frustrated.
I read a lot of study about TRT and I consult another endo.
He is very good.
Put me 125mg enanthate and 1cpr proviron a day.

Question:
I have a very low test(baseline 130). 125mg test can elevated my test at 700-800?
I read on pubmed this:
Total testosterone (testosterone dose (mg): 125 mg/week):

Test levels (baseline): 387+-36 ng/dl
Test levels (at week 16): 852+-111 ng/dl
Change from baseline: +464+-104 ng/dl

My test 190 + 464 = 594


Thanks!!!!!

#1, stay with your current endo
do not use proviron
increase your testosterone dose so you will get either your FreeT or BioAvailableT at the top range.
Use Depo®-Testosterone
testosterone cypionate.
http://www.pfizer.com/pfizer/download/uspi_depo_testosterone.pdf
Your weekly dose will be 100-150mg
but do injections every two or three days.
Best do your do T injections subQ every other day, and on the same day use
HCG, Novarel, 250iu

Thanks Jansz!
My endo said that RBC,haemoglobin and hematocrit return in the range after 4 weeks with testosterone.
Actually,liver panel,kidney panel,Thyroid panel and metabolic panel are all ok...tomorrow I write the values---
In my state I can't buy testosterone cypionate,but only enanthate.
I buy testoviron 250mg and I injected half of this every week
My endo prescribe proviron for estrogen...

Your endo is probably (hopefully) right.
Just stay on proper dose of T and give it time to work its way thru.
Make sure you supply your body frequently with testosterone.
Extending time between shots usualy does not work.
Use small insuline needle 28 or even 29ga, be patient when filling in the syringe. Over all it will save you time to recovery.
Test your BioAvailable and FreeT levels frequently, 4-6 weeks, to find out correct dose plus correct for body adjusting it self.

Do not overlook the rest of the problem, pituitary, adrenals, thyroid etc.

In Italy is made a product called Ipertrophan.
Supposedly it is excellent for management of estrogen and (I think DHT). We cannot get it in USA.
Since it is in your backyard get advantage of it.
Please report results.



Brand Ipertrofan® 40 / Iperplasin® 40
Active Principle Mepartricin
Indication Treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Once a day administration

You are right, proviron is an effective anti-estrogen, but you don't know if you need an anti-estrogen. You need to continually monitor your E2 level, just as you do your T level.

You should only be using an anti-e if your lab results and symptoms indicate that your E2 is too high. At this point, you don't have that information.

The test ethanate is fine.

Proviron will increase free T and provide a nice libido boost, which is also important.

Check E2 levels, these will go up. Best to use an aromatase inhibitor to reduce E2 levels. 17-20 is thought to be optimal from a libido point of view.

The TRT will shut down the HPTA. So there is no point in doing LH or FST tests. It appears that your body was producing less and less LH and FST already. So perhaps the testicles are able and need HCG. You need the HCG to keep the testes from shrinking and the scrotum from pulling up tight. And also to maintain fertility. Many also report an improvement in mood with HCG. HCG is shipped dry and you add water to it. After that it must be refrigerated. Inject under the skin (SQ/SC) into belly fat, just like insulin.

The pituitary may be damaged, which would explain the low LH and T, as well as GH. A scan of the pituitary would be a good idea. This is reinforced by the fact that LHRH did not work. The pituitary cannot be repaired, but it would be good to know if a tumor is the cause. Another common cause is a blow to the head from a traffic accident etc. Any think like that in the last few years?

HCG might add 140-200 points to your TT.

HCG 250iu SQ EOD
1mg/wk of arimidex
With the above you might end up closer to 100mg/wk of test ethanate, inject every 2 or 3 days, adjust as needed.

Test for IGF-1, not HGH, HGH lab results are sort of useless. Unless one can get and afford HGH, continued testing of these things is sort of silly.

I have Autoimmune Syndromes,not tumors.In my blood there are pituitary gland antibodies
My doctor said that in my situation HCG not work...I don't understanding this...

I start TRT next mounth,I have 20 packets of Androgel and I use this for next 20 days.

Test injection can up igf 1 level and gh level?When I can tested results?

One packet=5gram/day was not enough for me, and I think quite few other people.
Two pockets were only slightly too much for me, actually they were just about right.
On 2 packets Total T=932ng/dL(241-827)
That was on LabCorp Test.
Quest Diagnostics, that I currently prefer have TT(250-1100)
---------------
Be real careful when putting Androgel on, it is very thin gel.
I was spilling out a lot before I realised.
Do it over hard floor not a carpet, so you see how you are doing.

The pituitary releases LH and LH makes the testicles work. Without LH, there is no T and the testes will shrink and the scrotum can pull up tight. HCG works like LH and makes the testes function and produce T. With HCG you do not need the pituitary secretion of LH.

So HCG IS what you need. It does not fix the pituitary, but keeps the testes functional.

If the pituitary is under attack, then you will need to monitor and replace HG, thyroid and maybe others.

In normal men, TRT often improves many other functional systems, including HG which controls IGF-1 levels. In your case, your pituitary gland is not working normally, so ones expectations of improvement in HG levels should be modest.

Did you post your thyroid status?

I posted a while ago that my FT3 was 3.2 and some suggested that 3.8 to 4.0 might be optimal. My doc also thought the same and started me on a 'minimal' dose of armour (I got a generic).

Most will think that your FT3 is really low and would expect you to have symptoms.

You are extremely low on FreeT3, get loads of Armour Thyroid.
Make sure it is exactly Armour Thyroid and nothing else.
Be carefull ramping up. Keep monthly supply, so you can ramp down in case you cannot get it anymore.
Possibly support your adrenals if only during ramp up period.

Can you explain what adrenal support is? (for both of us).

Supposedly adrenals may work overtime during ramping up of Armour. When I started my Armour I did not ove-analyzed the issue, I asked my doc for script for Cortef and used 10mg of it during my ramping up period. After I got up to 4 grains I witdrew Cortef (slowly).
Latter I found that 4 grains was too much, dropped to 3grains.
One can use Cortef up to 20mg/day and that would not shut down own production.

Sorry!!! error data!

FT3 is 3,4! I'm sorry


Also:
Cortisol 16 (5-22)

Prolactin 9,9 (2,2-17,7)

My doctor think that I have only the low test.This cause low hematocrit,haemoglobin ad RBC and I'm tired and lost a lot of muscle and I lost 30% of bone densite mineral.
Doctor believe that with TRT all return normally

It's incredible,but I have good libido and I have sex once-twice a week.But for my age this isn't good...

Prolactin is extremely high, should be half that number.

TSH is whatever, I wouldn't worry about that number.

Your Free T3 is fine, your thyroid is perfectly fine no worries.

Take Selenium every morning with breakfast and use seasalts with food your good to go. Get that prolactin issue addressed.

for example:(shot every week)
day 1 shot---day 2 and day 6 bloodwork?
To get peak 48 hours after the shot
to get trough day of the injection but do not take injection first

After 5 weeks its pretty much reaches steady state and really does not matter when. But if you are at 900 ng/dl by 5-6 day you will be coming down by about 1/3 so that puts you at 600 at your lowest point. Alot of guys always wait intill the day of the shot to take blood work when they are at the lowset in order the dr to give them more. Personally I would want to get a peak or trough or more likely a mid point

instead of upping doage at 400 addin in some hcg 250 day 5,6 this will raise you up about 200-300 points. If it at 600 then DO NOT TOUCH IT. Also were is your e2 and bioavailable T that most important. i have 1100 T but bioavilable is only 54% because of estrogen. So a person you has 700-800 test with 80% Bio T is better off then I IAM. I am woring on incrweasin bioawavialvle by balancing out my estrogens. Which probably came from a serotonin/ melatonin imbalance years ago

this is whats frustrating....my GP OF course says PROLACTIN is fine....obviously it isnt......I HOPE MY UROLOGIST ADDRESSES ALL HORMONES.....

i have slight gyno on left breast, which i bet is due to prolactin

what else does high prolactin cause? symptoms?
you say selenium will help with this??

im going to have to find solid research and data to show doctors......i mean the high normal is 18ug....but LEF recommends under 5..... going to have to convince some DR's

In my experience,in past I have 18,9 prolactin level,my bf was 18%,after 3 mounths I lost weight and my bf was 13% and prolactin was 9,9.

If I understand:
It's more good for example 600ng/dl TT and E2=20 than 1000ng/dl TT and E2=50?

Another question:
There are some graphics that describe the testosterone curve after injection of 125mg test enanthate?

My english is terrible!sorry..

No, selenium is for optimal thyroid health, which you have.

Yes, prolactin will cause gyno, as well as pretty bad anxiety, moodiness, and brain fog and alot of similar side effects that E2 does.

Neither example constitute correct approach.
Try this:

1a. 250iu HCG every other day, so you produce your own testosterone (if you can) and that your testicle stay in shape.

1b. Add enough external Testosterone that when you do blood test it shows either
Bioavailable testosterone
or
Free Testosterone
on the top of their range, leave the other where it falls.

2. Deal with Estrogen (comprehensively) when/ if you have to.

a. Watch your 2/16 estrone rato, use DIM, I3c, TMG and other. I use LEF product, 6 pills/day of DualAction and 2 pills/day of TMG

b. Keep E2(ultra-sensitive) (10-30), if over use Arimidex or LiquiDex. I found that I need my E2=27, others are more happy with E2~20

Important is frequent testing, at least at the beginning when you working at establishing proper doses.

Prolactin is a separate issue that you must keep eye on.

You asked this question earlier and I replied about the HCG. Please see my earlier response. If your testes are ok, the HCG will work and the condition of the pituitary does not matter.

There are 4 possibilities:

1- Your testes will not respond to HCG. HCG then not needed.
2- Your testes will respond to HCG and HCG will help the testes produce T
3- Your Doctor is wrong
4- You did not quite understand your Doctor or he was telling you that HCG would not help your pituitary gland [correct].

You might have to tell your Doctor that you want to use HCG for the improvement in mood and for the health and T contribution of your testicles. This has to be a separate issue outside of the of the health of the pituitary.

Do you understand how HCG is injected and that you obtain the drug dry and then add water, then it must be kept refrigerated?

Proviron: This will help your libido and recovery. A great addition to your TRT. It will lessen the effects of E2 and increase FT. But you should probably be testing E2 as well and reducing to the low towards17-20 pg/ml. Proviron binds to SHBG so that less T is bound to the SHBG. But E2 levels may not be reduced and these E2 levels may have other unwanted effects. It will be best to actively control E2 levels with an AI such as anastrozole/arimidex. The E2 levels are probably fueling other hormone imbalances such as prolactin and progesterone.

My testicles are ok!!
I think use Hcg!
I have some questions:

1)TRT is 125mg test E every 7 days,when inject hcg?in Italy there is GONASI HP 250UI,500UI.1000UI,2000UI,5000UI.

2)What is the life of hcg?
HCG 1/2 life is 36 hours. Injecting every other day (EOD) is good. Research suggests that 250iu SQ/SC EOD is good.

You want HCG in multi-dose vials, not in glass ampules.

Inject HCG into fat under the skin, not into muscle. When you read about injecting into muscles, that applies to women using very large doses to trigger ovulation.

Weekly injections will not make you happy, too much up/down.
Do every three days Testosterone injections or even every other day, but recalculate the dose so you do not take more or less on weekly basis.

Most likely using 5000IU vials or 2000IU will be ok.
I see 5000iu right here:
HCG Gonasi - buy HCG online

If you choose every other day injections, then you could do them both (T+HCG) on one day and have the other day free of injections.

125mg of test per week when injected every other day mean
125/7*2=36mg/(eod) dose
I cannot tell you the volume or marks on syringe since I do not know density of your test.

In my state there is only sustanon 250mg or testoviron 250mg,1ml solution.I can't split may time...

Therefore,hcg injected only under the skin?why?

and why 2000ui?I read on hcgupdate document max 500ui

bimbo;
the 2000iu refer to total content of the vial or ampule.
When you are doing shots every other day the size of shot is 250IU
When you decide to do shots every day, then the size of the shot is 100IU

============
You want to purchase HCG that is packaged in vials (not ampules).
Vials are usually ment to be used completely at the time they are broken.
Since you need only 250IU, you would have to throw out lots of good product.
Well, you can transfer content of open ampule to the vial, but it gets complicated and quality of product would possibly degrade.
===========================

I am not familiar with sustanon 250mg or testoviron, somebody else may want to coment on that.

We usually use Depo®-Testosterone
testosterone cypionate, 200mg/mL

Some people mention testosterone enanthate
not sure if that is good idea ether.

There is no need to be injecting into the muscle and causing unnecessary muscle tissue damage. It works well under the skin and that is how the research was done for the 250iu EOD that I suggested. I make this statement because the instructions that will come with the HCG will talk about IM, injection into the muscles, but that is for the use with women.

HCG is injected the same way that insulin is injected. Use an insulin syringe. You can use the smallest gauge that you can find.

It would be better to have vials, not ampules. The amps are all glass and when you crack these open, you need to mix and then store all of it in syringes then keep the syringes in a refrigerator. With a vial, you mix and keep in the refrigerator, then load into syringes as needed.

I use 10,000 iu vials of HCG.

Start with 100 mgs and retest in 5 weeks see where labs are. If blood work is in check (e2:shbg: T) then addin HCG at 250 ius every other day. After 4 weeks test again if e2 is above 30 or out of proportion to shbg then add in.25 mgs armidex every 3 days then restes after 3 weeks. This way it will alleviate many months of guessing games and you take one thing at a time and there are less variable to consider. You need to build a foundation with the testosterone, thyroid, adnreals then change on thing at a time. If you go adding in HCG, dex, testosterone all at once then you will not know what the hell is doing what and things may look good at first but for some reason later down the road..

Think of it as TRT as building a house. Would you want to start building the house before the foundation has been set and have things fall apart. Things need to be layers with one change at the time. People are notorious for looking for short cuts, but the problem is short cuts are only tempeory but consistency and slight moderation are better for the long haul..

If it is 250IU then ether vials or ampules are ok.
I am afraid it will be much more expensive that way.
Use the thinnest insuline needle available.
31, 30Ga.
Use donut shape to find out suitable injection site, concentric radius of 1.5" and 3.5" circles with a center at your navel.,

Glad to see that you are in good shape today.

=================================
I am going thru experience now, as I write this.
It is about LiquidCia, I think.
I had similar experience once before.
Usually I take original Cialis, twice per week.
sun 6PM
mon
tue
wed
th 6PM
fri
sat
From time to time I have to use LiquidCia because my prescription plan do not pays for all Cialis that I need.

Once before I took LiquidCia twice in the row, I did the same this time.

Brain fog, no morning wood, pulse 90bpm, usuall 65-70
Body temperature 36.9C= 96.62F
usually 36.5C= 97.70F

I called off my sex session, unfortunately she like it that way.

I am working on her to do my long blood test (skip PSA),
not sure what to add on to it.
====================
Wonder if LiquidCia is stronger than original script or have some additional ingredient.

I am taking 3grains of Armour, but it is stable dose for long time. Otherwise I would suspect Armour doing number on me.

Yes i am in good shape amazing how estrogen can really screw one brain up, but i am back in my rare form as usually, plus people at the gym have been asking what supplements I have been taking. Going from barely doing 225 lbs to 365 lb bench for a few in less then 6 weeks got people asking alot of question LOL. I told them I been taking my flintstones and wheaties thats my secret :toofunny:

Men,I find the exactly patology that I have:

I have Hypophysis antibodies.

Then,For your opinion,Hcg could work well?

and with this syndrome,I need also GH therapy?

I hope some doctors will answer this question

Thanks

If your testes are responsive to LH then they will respond to HCG. This will happen independent of any state of the pituitary.

I think that this was covered 6/10/2007.

You condition is an autoimmune problem. The serenity and time-line would be very individual. Sometimes when this happens there are also some other problems such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or other immune problems. categorically, yes, the other pituitary mediated hormone systems may be affected. So, yes, you might be needing HG some day. One cannot predict how this will progress. I think that it will be one step at a time where lab work suggests the next course of action. It might also be that some of the immune processes will be controlled by correcting the hormone imbalances that are obvious now. it seems hard to believe that ones progress with hormones out of balance would be better for controlling such things than when normalized.

There are also food supplements that help with other auto immune diseases such as RA, lupis etc. These might help. But with a problem like this, it is unlikely that you would know as there would not be something obvious to note like a reduction of pain and inflammation from RA.

Perhaps a Doctor that specializes in auto-immune problems could be helpful. Here, they might be referred to as a rheumatologist. This might identify things that make your immune system more active than it should be, which might then be managed in some fashion.

So that is what I can offer and I need to say that I have no expertise in these matters, just some general understanding that may or may not be of practical value.

If your immune system is hyperactive, then a rHCG might be a better choice that human derived HCG. rHCG is created with recombinant DNA methods that cause yeast or other microbes to create HCG. This can avoid any contaminates that can exist in human derived HCG. Those contaminants could possibly be something could increase immune system activity. But that is all speculation.

Thanks KSman.

I going to retire lab results(GH and IGF-1) in the next week.
After,I try with Hcg.
I post the result next week...

Hi guys,I have new lab results:

Actually I haven't any protocol of trt and naturally I have low test,I do this for see GH values and liver values

AST 38 (10-41)
ALT 44 (12-54)
Colesterolo 140 (150-220) low
HDL 45 (27-60)
LDL 79 (90-160)low
Testosterone 150ng/dl low
Test free 3,4pg/ml low
LH 0,7 low
FSH 1,1 low
IGF 1 339 (160-480)
E2 27pg/ml (20-75) bad for me with this test...In past E2 is 13,infact in this period I gain 4 lb of fat...and 0 of muscle

GH 0,1 (0,0-8,0)

I'm 23. I'm a candidate for GH replacement?IGF1 is good,but in past was very low,I'm surprise for this result.

My pathology is Hypophysis antibodies that blocked the release of hormones(fsh and LH not responsive at GnRH test,and GH probably)

Thank you very much

While your E2 level seems favourable, the T:E ratio is really bad.

Your LH and FSH indicate that the pituitary does not want to or can't do the job. HCG will be a good thing. I don't know why you want to inject in the fore arm as most need two hands for SQ injection technique. Still best to inject into the belly fat. Please confirm dose and frequency that you will use. I would use more to start to help get the testicles started.

IGF-1 looks rather good, suggesting that GH system is working fine. GH is released in pulses and blood levels clear quickly. Testing for GH is sort of useless. IGF-1 tells you what GH is doing.

Low cholesterol levels might also mean low pregnenolone and DHEA. You need those things as raw materials in many hormone functions, including operation of the testicles. When testing for DHEA, have DHEAs (sulfate) tested as this is steady and DHEA can be variable.

When you get the testes working and T levels up, after a few months there will be changes to cells and tissue groups will function differently. This can change everything else, including GH production, adrenal and thyroid function. Those changes take time.

Why is E2 at that level? Perhaps your body is struggling to produce some hormones, any hormones. What we know from older guys with low T is that E levels often go up, so this is not that unusual.

While on HCG, your HPTA will shut down. If the T levels are not high enough then, you can do TRT+HCG and use E2 as required to keep E2 down. You need lower E2 to loose fat, lower SHBG (which will increase FT) and for improved libido.

If I understand,TRT can improvement GH?also that I have APA antibodies?

In July I start TRT.
Protocol:125mg test E every week and 250ui hcg in day 5th and 6th
for E2 I will use proviron,my doctor not prescribe me arimidex

Thanks a lot
