Out of 74 labeled products, the content of 25 (33.8%) did not match the label. Anabolic androgenic steroids are commonly found on the black market among bodybuilders, predominately esterified in oil-based injectables. Out of 40 steroidal oily solutions, the active ingredients of 21 (52.5%) did not match the label: one preparation did not con- tain an active compound, 20 contained other or more active ingredients.
Yeah I understand it fluctuates everyday but I had my testosterone checked multiple times before, first time 14.8, 2nd 10.9, third time 13.5 and now its 17 after doing all the right things so you can see how I thought it was increasing from lifestyle changes.
So with my current test levels there is zero chance of me getting on trt through a GP or any other source that is covered under insurance.
So if there is no more change in the next couple months I will try a private clinic again.
Thanks for the reply man.
Yeah I tried welbutrin last year and it made my anxiety worse and wasn’t thinking right, had bad thoughts on it so I stopped.
I’ve been on an ssri from when I was 24-30 years old because of anxiety and depression. I understand it’s tough coming off, I should never have started it in the first place because now I feel like I’m not myself when I’m off it… its clear to me now because since I started it again I feel like I’m back to my old self again except for the libido/ed etc.
Yeah I understand what you mean… it very well could be something else entirely, it’s just finding out what it is I guess and I thought testosterone might be the fix, however I’m realizing it’s far more complicated than that.
You don’t really want to get TRT under insurance anyway because you’ll likely have to figure out everything on your own and fight the doctor for proper testing. TRT is a blind spot for a lot of doctors and the guidelines are dated and often not enough biomarkers are checked or managed.
Insurance denying medical coverage is nothing new, we have insurance and yet if major medical problems are encountered (heart attacks) we are left with bills that either bankrupt us and/or force us into lifelong debt all while we have insurance.
The entire insurance/healthcare system is one big scam and it’s ruining people lives.
Sorry for confusion I am from alberta I ment to say health care, in which case I wouldnt have to spend $200 a month just on a doctors visit at a private clinic, my prescription is covered through my work up to 80% which is good though.
In any case I know what you mean, like you said there is no denying the protocols would be screwed right up through a general practitioner or even an endo.
One Gp told me to take androgel one pump a day for three months than stop and that should be the kickstart I need for my natural levels to rise back to what they once were. Lol. And others just say it causes cancer.
So yeah I’m thinking the private clinic would be the way to go in the future if I cannot figure out how to fix this issue via naturally.
I’m not surprised in the least, at least this doctor has an imagination. It seems when there’s a lack of knowledge doctors make stuff up in their heads because they would never learn this in medical school.
I agree with you 100%. For three months I followed the advice of Danny Bosa group, more frequent injections and no AI, because they say is good for you. With that protocol everything was worst. My E2 was higher than ever, my ED was worst than ever
Please remind me who you are, because I remember every guy I work with, and I’ll at least be able to share with everyone why you failed, because it is always the same reason.
And what is the reason?. Look I don’t have anything against anyone, but following the EOD protocol instead of E3d didn’t help me, higher injection frequency is not better for everyone, even for some guys is better once a week shot. I’m glad that works for you, I hope TRT will work for me one day
I was doing 50 mg cyp EOD and 50 mg Proviron ED. Then I was on EOD 50mg Proviron. When I was on 50mg ED Proviron I felted ok, then for two weeks before my bloodwork I was on 25mg Proviron ED. When I was on 100mg test E3d, no AI and HCG 250 IU’S twice a week:
FT: 30
TT: 1350
E2: 49
SHBG: 35
On 50mg test EOD, 25mg Proviron ED, no HCG:
FT: 20
E2: 59
SHBG : 50
TT: didn’t care at this point
Frequent injections work for guys with LOW SHBG, but for my sucked because I have high SHBG. Millions of men on TRT inject once or twice a week and feel great. TRT works differently for everyone
By any chance, not sure if you’ve done your math or not, but did you realize that when you went to EOD you dropped your weekly testosterone dose significantly? Then your levels dropped. No surprise there. You were doing 100mg every 3 days which works out to roughly 233mg a week. Then you went to 50mg EOD which works out to 175mg a week. Of course your levels dropped and you didn’t feel as well.
@young_forever message me directly and I’ll give you a hand. You felt good doing a certain protocol, which is a good start, so it just needs to be tweaked. Forget about SHBG.
You right. I will do 60mg test EOD. I don’t know how can I send you a private message. But if J increase my dose my E2 will increase further, the lower my E2 is, the better I feel
