Drink hydralyte if drunk or even if drinking. Maintains electrolyte balance and hydration
Lessens the chance of cardiac arrhythmia and may decrease severity of hangover the day after
Good man! I don’t drink either, but when I did I could not get it up after the second drink. Wild.
I mentioned earlier I was going to try proviron again. Does anyone have any opinion on proviron vs masteron? Masteron would be much cheaper. Could get about a years supply for the cost of a few months worth of proviron. It sounds like guys have similar experiences with both compounds. Looking for libido+
How are things going thyroid wise? Did you try raising your ft4 level more?
Thyroid wise same deal. I want to try what @enackers is doing (taking 2 grain AM and 2 grain PM) and see if I have improvement. Waking up and getting out of bed is brutal until I got my thyroid meds in me.
I’ve learned the NDT isn’t really stimulatory and that I could totally take another 2 grains in the afternoon instead of 2 grains AM .5 grains PM. I want to see how this goes, going to email my doctor about this.

Anyone have any information on HCG + libido? I think I remember reading somewhere it raises progesterone? I skipped 2 HCG doses this week and noticed an increase in libido and stronger erections.

That’s what I figured out for the same reason. Let me know bro.
Don’t create a connection Like that. Give it time and then see.
Hcg increases estrogen in the penis. This helps sensivity and better libido for some men.
Other men just need T to raise e2 in target tissue.
For me trt doesn’t increase e2 in that part of the body.

I’m on TRT + HCG + Proviron + Iodine. My protocol is:
- 12.5mg test cyp daily
- 100iu HCG daily
- 25mcg Proviron (split daily)
I recently re-introduced iodine daily which I noticed made a small but significant difference to libido/ED. It wasn’t a ‘cure all’ but I will keep running a low dose until the benefits fade. It definitely makes me think thyroid is the culprit though due to the improvements seen.
Going up to 3-4 grains daily is probably a wise move. Did you notice improvements in relation to erections or pretty much the same? One of my biggest issues is sensitivity (or complete of), which I would really like to get resolved. It was interesting that you mention thyroid basically gave you all that back…

I did notice that when on EOD and running 250iu of HCG I had much worse ED/libido issues, so definitely be careful of it. I believe high progesterone is due to weak thyroid function. It’s actually a good thing in a lot of ways, even though it blocks DHT/E2. Progesterone has a lot of benefits such as:
- Manages E2 sides
- Helps thyroid hormone work better
- Protects your vascular system, which could be damaged from low thyroid function
- Has mild thermogenic properties
How are things going for you thyroid wise? I assume you regained libido and all that stuff by treating it?
Oh yeah it’s mad libido. I actually feel like I have even more when I added a daily vitamin. More vitamin d as well.
Oh I bet there’s vitamin “d”. Haha

What are ideal progesterone levels???
So with that being said are you still on HCG??
Do you also belive HCG raises progesterone??
The reason why I’m asking is because I’m on HCG 500i.u EOD
This thread is so worrying. Have you considered hypochondriasis?
Please, seek expert medical help, and stop taking any and all potentially damaging drugs without a confirmed diagnosis. There are good doctors out there.
The anecdotal testimony and advice from people with a casual interest on this thread are helping fuel your health anxieties.
You are at a very young age, and there are consequences here to your long term health.

How are things going? Did you manage to increase your NDT dosage?
Had to google what that means. I think I definitely had hypochondrasis earlier this year, trying every supplement under the sun and what not. I think my thread gives a negative image of what’s actually going on. I feel great compared to a year ago. As of now, I’m really just looking to optimize. To feel as best and healthy as possible. I wish I could’ve had expert medical help this whole time, but that just wasn’t an option for me financially. But anyway, now I really only post the negative things I experience on this forum looking for any problems I may still have, hormonally, so that I can optimize my protocol before I stop checking this forum altogether and just move on with the rest of my life. I appreciate the input and the concern, but I’m actually doing great. No anxiety about my health (anymore), just looking to feel as best as possible.
Things are good. Waking up in the mornings is still a little tough (doc didn’t want to raise the dose. “most of my patients are on 1 grain max”). I think I could get some more labs to show him so I could just dose 2 grains in the AM and 2 grains 12 hours later to make the steadiest levels I can. After I dose my NDT (2 grains) in the morning, I’m good to go for the rest of the day. I take another .5 grain in the afternoon, and this seems to hold me out the rest of the day.
I went back on HCG. Had a night where I had zero sensitivity in my penis (lost erection during sex). Funny how today, I see @enackers post in this thread about HCG increasing e in the penis and helping sensitivity. Stopping HCG was stupid and irresponsible. I did notice a TON of more random erections (while off HCG), however, this means nothing if I can’t keep hard for sex.

An update:
Back on HCG, stopping it was a mistake, see my post above for more details.
Today I injected my second dose of Masteron IM into my quads. I’ll be injecting 50mg EOD of Masteron Propionate to make 175mg weekly. I actually noticed some of its physique effects right away after my first dose. I went to the gym right after my first pin and noticed increased vascularity. I’m also noticing my jawline tightening up, as it did with Proviron. I think this is due to the propionate ester.
Either way, I’m not taking it for physique effects. I hope to see an increase in mood and libido. Nothing to report libido wise this far, but its only been 3 days. I think I had more energy and better mood, but then this could’ve just been placebo as I’m expecting this effect. Also, something about injecting a new compound was exciting, so there’s that too. Not gonna give the Mast any credit just yet.
I chose the propionate ester so that if I had a negative reaction, I could stop the drug immediately and get it out my system quicker. If Mast is working well, I’ll switch to enanthate ester and inject E3.5D. Worked out the math and I could get a years supply of Mast at this dose for the same price as like 3 month supply of Proviron.
TLDR: Hoping to see same effects (mood+ & libido+) from Mast as I did from Proviron, since its a more viable, long term solution financially.
