  1. Could AndroGel shut down your own T prod

    If you say so, but having spent 10 years designing and implementing medical lab systems, I can tell you that lab T level normals shift with age. Being on TRT for a while now, I would also consider that above 300 is not quite the goal I would shoot for. My rates changed from 221 to 758. My...

  2. Could AndroGel shut down your own T prod

    I would adjust the TRT goals to: Total T at midpoint or top third of range for your age group. Over 300 is a MINIMUM requirement. Free T at least 50% of range but not above range e2 below 30 but if higher, guide yourself by wood quality and overall well being. Consider DIM first to control...

  3. Could AndroGel shut down your own T prod

    Being an older man (45) I can say that I had exactly the same problems. Add to it that my hematocrits are also moving upward, giving me flush face, incredible itching, and requireing that I give blood regularly in order to keep it under control. 8 pumps is equal to 10g per day which is the max...

  4. Long term use of Arimidex... good or bad?

    My doctor bothers to order it because I told her what to look at. She agreed and said fine. I'm her only patient doing TRT and her prescription was based on what I got in a clinical trial. But during the trial, everyone got the same amount of gel, but it could have been partially or totally a...

  5. Long term use of Arimidex... good or bad?

    I've been lucky.. No hCG and no shrinkage yet after a year. The doc I have put me on a high dose of Androgel (15g/day) but I only use 5g and stockpile the rest at the moment. It may come in handy some day if I need it. In the meantime I have a 6 month supply allready built up. I can always...

  6. Long term use of Arimidex... good or bad?

    Lowering the gel will not necessarily lead to lower e2. Also it is a case of the ratio of e2 to t that can be at issue. I would suggest you consider a new endo... One that has a clue would be a good first choice.

  7. Long term use of Arimidex... good or bad?

    I get all my tests covered by insurance. Including e2. Invalid Link Removed has both a normal and sensitive test at $49, and $79 and a full hormone panel at $299. Check the yahoo group, there are several guys there that also order their tests on line or through Quest directly.

  8. Could AndroGel shut down your own T prod

    One thing of note... Depo-t is 7 or 8 times as likely to cause polycemetheia (thickening of the blood) and possible sleep apnea. They don't know why, but this has been supported in many clinical trials. I'm on gel, and also am borderline polycemetheia. I will be going through vampire therapy...

  9. Long term use of Arimidex... good or bad?

    Arimidex long term You've only been on TRT for 2 months, you MAY NOT need Arimidex... You should only start taking it if after 3 to 6 months your estradiol levels are too hign (over 40 probably). I am a member of a TRT forum on Yahoo and many guys there have taken the stuff for 7 to 10 years...

  10. Is AndroGel The Right Choice?****

    I'm not 100% certain that is correct. I believe that if the amount of Test introduced keeps his levels within norm, the LH will continue at normal levels. However if there is a tendancy toward larger doses the effect would be to shut down the LH pathway. I've been on the stuff since June, and...

  11. Is AndroGel The Right Choice?****

    Androgel Hi... I'm a 45 year old male and my levels were 221. I've been put on Androgel and it has been a blessing in many ways. However at 20 I don't know I'd do the same. If you do choose to try it I would suggest trying a 3 month cycle (3 on 3 off) and see how you feel in both...

    Thanks OG...

  14. TRT and training

    I am 45, 6'0" 223Lbs, and lost a lot of shape in the last year because of an umbilical hernia and some other minor issues that kept me out of the gym for almost 12 months now. As of Dec I will be on TRT at 10Mg/day gel. My standard values seem to be around 230 in the morning and decline from...
