Aches and lumps behind your nipples?
Just acne. Get it on my face, neck, shoulders and middle of chest.
That’s weird never experienced that. Wtkeatsbyou feel good. Hopefully the aches and such goes away. They say if you had acne as a kid, then expect it on trt. Not sure how true that isn’t but it makes sense.
I had way bad acne as a teen. Wonder if there is anything to take that can control it
I think @studhammer took accutane. Perhaps he can chime in.
That’s a really good question. I think if there was a cure you’d become a billionaire. I would research the crap out of trt and achne prevention.
I saw a guy at the gym other day. Lean ripped guy. He took his shirt off achne everywhere…: heard him say fukkkkk… haha …
Yeah. I’ve got some acne on my back from all my tinkering with testosterone. I really dont care but my wife is always commenting.

Yep, I ran a low dose cycle of accutane for some back acne. Cleared it right up and never came back.
Had to order from an overseas pharmacy though. It’s pretty controlled over here.

so i got back my other labs and i am a little shocked.
i am on a 120mg dose every seven days
at 100mg every 7 days my labs where.
test 662
free 110.5
e2 25
now with the 120 mg every 7 days i am as follows
test 728. range 250-1100
free 121.5 range 35.0 - 155.0
e2 32 range <44
hematocrit 51.1 range 40.0 - 53.0
do you think that maybe with my high shbg i should pin ever 3.5 days? i really though that 120mg would put me close to the 900 test range.
These numbers look good. You can go to 3.5 day injection schedule but I dont think your going to see any kind of dramatic difference. You should add ranges in with test results. Typically guys combating high shbg do larger more infrequent injections. As long as your free test is modified to upper range your g2g
So keep the every 7 days but maybe go up to 160 or 200mg dose?
I also added the ranges to the before post.
Thank you again for the help.
Based on those ranges and assuming your hct is within an acceptable range I would say you have some wiggle room. You could probably stand to benefit from 150 mg a week. How do you feel with your current numbers?
sorry i added the new hct to the above post which is 51.1. I feel good with the 120mg every 7 days but toward the 6th or 7th day I do start to feel ran down like a crash.
also on my report they put a warning for my RDW (sd) which is 49.8 H range 38.0 - 49.0
At what point do I need to start worrying about my hctc numbers?
I would say now is a good time.
What do you find is the best way to get the hct number down.
Do you think sodium intake would cause it to go up?
Being dehydrated I believe causes it to be high is my understanding but it’s the number one hazard of androgen therapy. It’s over production of rbc and thickening of the blood. It’s a subject of great debate. Lots of info out there. Lowering test dosage first. Donating blood if all else fails.
Your free t is pretty good. How do you feel on the dose.
If you feel good don’t raise it. Stay at your dose and start injecting every 3 days instead of 7 or inject twice a week. 3 to 4 days between.
