  1. Test levels "after-blast", time to normal?

    How far do blood levels lag behind current dosage? For instance, say I was prescribed 100 mg/wk and I bumped it to 200mg/wk for 4 weeks to see how that felt, then went back to 100 mg/wk. How long would I need to be at 100mg/wk to stabilize blood levels to where there were origianlly?
  2. Leakage after injection?

    How much is acceptable? I know that's hard to quantify. I never had any before, and today for whatever reason, I noticed several drops oozing out after I removed the needle (25 ga x 1, thigh). I have had some slight bleeding before, but no obvious leakage of the test cypionate. Not a big...
  3. Do you sense a diference "soon" after you inject?

    Can you tell any difference soon after your TRT? In mood, or workout, libido, or anything else? I think I did within a day or two when I injected weekly, but after splitting my dosages into twice a week at 80 mg/dose and trying to pay closer attention, I “think” I could tell a difference in my...
  4. TRT Weight gain?

    First confession: My diet is not where it needs to be. That said, before starting TRT my weight was fairly consistent. The positives are there from the TRT, much better "feeling of well being", improved sex drive/interest, gains in the gym. But, my appetite seems to be much better than I...
  5. Stickies?/"Cheap Bloodwork - How to Get It WITHOUT Insurance"

    While trying to sort through blood test results and find related info in this section, I've noticed that there isn't "General information" sticky. For those of us without great insurance and less than great doctors, it sure would be helpful to have a concise sticky that talked about what to...
  6. Where should my estrogen levels be?

    Where should estrogen levels be for a 47 year old male? For my own interest I had a test done this week and the results were 38 pg/ml. My Dr tells me that it should be 10-60, so my levels are normal. I could swear, however that I saw a post by Matrix stating 7-17 was optimal. I am currently...
  7. What basic testing should my Dr be doing?

    I am planning to request the tests below next visit and want recommendations for any others I should be asking for. Currently he is watching only the free test levels. Yes, I know the Dr should be doing this, and long term I want to find a good endocrinologist, but for now, with insurance and...
  8. TRT/HRT and Insurance?

    Just starting my search for a Dr and finding many who are "out of network". Is this normal, and if so, why? My current GP will prescribe Test Cyp and my insurance will cover that, but that's all, he does no estrogen testing or meds, so I'm looking for a more complete approach. Just not sure...
  9. Blood flow as it relates to injury/surgery recovery

    Please correct if wrong, and point in the right direction. From what Ive read, cartilage is slow to repair due to a lack of blood flow in general, as compared to muscle repair. I have just had surgery to repair a SLAP tear, and am looking for additional things I can do to help recovery. For...
  10. SLAP Tear Recovery Experiences and Recommendations

    Hello, I've just been told I need to have the surgery and have been reading about what to expect, both in terms of the surgery as well as the recovery. Mostly the recovery. For those that have had it done, what did you do above what the doctor recommended to get you back as fast as possible...
  11. Neurobalance

    Any news about bringing back Neurobalance? Did I read something about the delivery system being sold, or not licensed? If it's not coming back, how about alternatives? Thanks!
  12. Shipping research chemicals

    Hopefully this falls with the discussion definition. If someone had ordered research chemicals from "the Former Board Supporter Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken" and they had not arrived within 10 days after they were shipped, should that person be concerned? Anyone have bad experience with...
  13. Anyone had Lasik surgery pre/post cycle?

    Strange question, I know. I remember reading in the doctor's literature some concerns about steriod use pre-surgery, but it's not the kind of question you can ask - "So Dr., how long after surgery do I need to wait before doing a cycle?". I know there are some medical professionals on the...
  14. Train with cracked ribs?

    For those who've done it, what did you do, and what did you avoid? Back workouts seem like not a good idea, for one. Happened a week ago, I did chest the next day without too much pain, just avoiding twisting at the waist or bending at the waist too far. Since there's no treatment other than...
  15. RYR no longer any good for PCT/cycle?

    Fox News had a spot today (8-26) in which the doctor claimed the FDA had won an appeal to remove the active ingredient in RYR supplements. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this? He said there were a few companies who did not comply. NOW wasnt listed as one. He said all the others...
  16. So where did the China thread go?

    I was following and subscribed to it, and my last update link went no where. It seems to be gone. Was that a banned topic??
  17. T3 as taper/extension for Tiratricol cycle?

    Since T3 is not nearly as potent as tiratricol, what do you think about using it at the end of a tiratricol cycle to extend the cycle while tapering off? I ask because my Trimax cycle didn't seem to really kick in until week 4 and all I had was enough for about 4 1/2 weeks. I'd like to keep...
  18. Transdermal Tiratricol?

    Is this widely used? I've seen limited information about it, but I'm not clear on any of the details. Has anyone here tried it with any success? Any direction to old posts would be great, as search didn't come up with anything. Even a "that's a goofy idea" reply, if it really is a poor idea...
  19. How about a "Search for Dummies" sticky?

    I can do the basic searches, but in a couple of posts I have seen descriptions of more complex searches to find detailed information. We've all seen the "Use the search button" reply used so often, but where do people go after getting that reply to learn how to rely use it effectively? Maybe a...
  20. What is the status of Trimax/Triacana?

    Since I'm not sure where this falls in the board rules, I will try to keep it as generic and general as I can. Is it an illegal substance? It seems to have disappeared completely, so if it is not illegal, why did most businesses drop it? I have more questions that will have to wait until...
