  1. Any experiences with Aveed?

    No. It's $1000 for a 3mL vial. ��

  2. Any experiences with Aveed?

    I'm currently on a regimen of 100mg Test-c a week administered in two injections a week, plus HCG and adex. This gets me to about a 800-900 trough level, and feeling pretty healthy. I'm doing this through one of the bigger clinics, and my out of pocket is noticeable. I was just at my doc who...

  3. Hcg needle size

    LMuscle - Out of hundreds of subq abdominal injections, I've had a few that did that too. I think I was just unlucky and hit a small blood vessel or something. Anyway, it doesn't happen often, but it has happened. Also, if you are low bf, you could wind up doing shallow IM if you don't get a...

  4. Help me make sense of my Test level

    Free testosterone is more telling than total testosterone. If you are high SHBG, you can have normal total testosterone levels and low free testosterone, and feel hypogonadal. That was my exact situation, although I was low-normal to begin with. There are ways to get SHBG down, but I never...

  5. Kidney damage from orals

    Based on past experiences, I personally would wait a couple of months after stopping, as long as you're asymptomatic. 300 is actually not that high of an elevation, if acute (even though it's about 6X high end of normal), but you want to make sure it goes down when off orals. I'd do the typical...

  6. TRT - Androgel - Stubborn Endocrinologist

    I had high hct levels when I started TRT. It took repeated blood donations over the course of several months to knock it down. Now I go every 8 weeks to donate a pint of whole blood, and my hct has been in the mid 40s. As far as your LFTs go, your doctor SHOULD know that non-methylated...

  7. Kidney damage from orals

    It might take a little longer than that to get an accurate test result. Ask your doc for a CPK test. I guarantee it's off the charts. High CPK doesn't conclusively rule out liver disease, but it's an indication that muscle trauma is at least a contributing factor, and you're training hard...

  8. Kidney damage from orals

    Also, your high BUN is likely due to the excessive (not by our standards tho) intake of protein, resulting in high levels of nitrogen in the body.

  9. Kidney damage from orals

    It's interesting that you mention creatine kinase (sometimes referred to as CPK - creatine phosphokinase) markers. Another problem, unrelated to the kidney issue, is that people who train hard may experience high AST and ALT levels. A lot of docs don't realize that muscle trauma can jack these...

  10. Kidney damage from orals

    Remember that creatine and creatinine are different, but related. It's not the only marker to look for as I indicated in my previous post. Another marker that may be indicative of problems, in addition to the BUN/creatinine level, is a low glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

  11. Kidney damage from orals

    High creatinine levels around here are likely the result of creatine being metabolized to creatinine in muscle tissue. High creatinine associated with lifting may not be bad, unless your BUN/creatinine levels are out of range. My creatinine levels are typically in the 1.4 range (1.2ish being the...

  12. Kidney damage from orals

    In a nutshell, some steroids can jack up your blood pressure. High blood pressure can damage the vessels feeding the kidney tissue. The kidneys play a major role in regulating blood pressure, and the damaged kidneys won't be able to bring the pressure down by regulating blood volume. In fact...

  13. Andro 1 vs andro 4 vs ostarine

    That's what happens when you use a Flowbee to trim the nads. (Flowbee reference may be lost on some of you younger guys.)

  14. Do you need to record weights?

    I've been using an app on my cellphone to track my lifts. The app also lets me set a timer for my rest intervals. I'm also using the phone as my music player, so it's not like I'm carrying around something extra just for this purpose.

  15. Headaches when lifting heavy?

    In my experience, yes. I've had muscle spasms and pulls in my back and neck in the past that caused headaches.

  16. Arimidex dose

    As stated, TRT and adjunct dosing is very user dependent. For example, my tendency to aromatize T requires that I dose adex .25mg 2x/week, while I am only taking 50mg TCYP 2x/week. Others can do mild cycles without any AI. Other factors play into TRT as well. My dose is fairly low, but due to...

  17. Headaches when lifting heavy?

    I've had some what I suspect to be BP related headaches like that, especially after taking a healthy dose of stims.

  18. Nutraplanet order!

    Always get free samples with my NP orders. Usually no problem with shipping. Had a hiccup with my last order, but TheSolution did his magic and the order was on its way the same day.

  19. Wrist Wrap Suggestions

    Currently using APT Strangulators which were a replacement for my lost Titan Signature Golds I miss the Titans as they were stiffer and more durable, IMO. APTs started to fray after a month's use but are still holding up at just short of a year. They are pretty stiff, but not as much as the...
