Questions for guys ON TRT.

[genetics]

1) Do you use hcg to keep endogenous testosterone levels up, too?

2) Whats the standard Test dose doctors normally prescribe?

3) Have your balls shrunk?

4) Do shrunken balls affect one's sex life?

5) Do you experience Test bloat? And if you do, what do you take to combat bloat?

6) Do you take anything to lower SHBG levels & Prolactin levels?

These questions may sound naive or silly to a few, but nevertheless, i'd like to know. From guys on HRT / TRT.

Kindly respond.

1.Hcg 250iu x2 a week to keep balls from shrinking.Some require less/more,
2.100-150mg test c/e inj a week or androgel/testim.Im on 200mg , this gets me near the top range.
3.It did before hcg but came back nicely with hcg
4Wasnt that huge a difference size wise but read that some shrink to grape size so depends on individual
5.I did. Adex 0.25mg e2d fixed this. Started with .25mg x2 a week but required higher dosing.Usually .25mg x2 aweek is enough.
6.No for shbg as its already low. Yes to prolactin, powerfull, b6 and sometimes cabergoline for the multiples

1) Do you use hcg to keep endogenous testosterone levels up, too?

Nope. HGH only. 1 iu eod

2) Whats the standard Test dose doctors normally prescribe?

HRT dosage is 75-100 mg p/w.

3) Have your balls shrunk?

They seem to naturally change a bit. Nothing at all beyond this. This comment includes my cycles of 400-750 also. Myth?

4) Do shrunken balls affect one's sex life?

Fathered 3 kids while in cycle. Get it once a day now. Takes a little longer but that pleases her.

5) Do you experience Test bloat? And if you do, what do you take to combat bloat?
No bloat. Not enough dosage. I do get a bit if on cycle and above 250. But who cares when you are banging out heavy iron?
6) Do you take anything to lower SHBG levels & Prolactin levels?
?? Don't know. I do take adex 0.25 mg twice a week on HRT. 0.5 if on cycle. Lots of vits.

1) Do you use hcg to keep endogenous testosterone levels up, too?

Yes, but not just to keep endogenous T levels up, but to stimulate production of the other hormones affected by LH as well.

2) Whats the standard Test dose doctors normally prescribe?

I don't know about other physicians but mine started at 100 mg/week and moved up based on test results. I am currently at 200 mg/week administered in two 100 mg doses every 3 1/2 days.

3) Have your balls shrunk?

They did at first but came back to normal after I started using HCG.

4) Do shrunken balls affect one's sex life?

It didn't affect mine but they didn't stay shrunk for very long before I started HCG.

5) Do you experience Test bloat? And if you do, what do you take to combat bloat?

I did while I was ramping the dose up but now I rarely have it. I think dosing 2X/week helps a lot. If I need it, I use .25 mg anastrozole E3D.

6) Do you take anything to lower SHBG levels & Prolactin levels?

No, they stay low for me without intervention.
