Iodine +salt?
Your not thinking straight 
Iām trying to incorporate iodized salt since Iāve been using Himalayan salt for years (when I do use salt).
Find out if your lacking. Too much no goods.
@enackers I blame the hormone flux.
But youāre right. I didnāt want to hijack and turn this thread to talking about me - but basically I was on initial dose, felt great, then had to beg for HCG after atrophy
(wife started noticing low load output + my huevos were sliding āup in meā which is nasty feeling)
After finally getting HCG he kept my T dose at 200mg a week plus a very unspecified HCG āyou can basically use this how you wantā¦1000 ICU every other day or 500 4-5 times a weekā - He said. So now with 2 huge bottles of 10,0000 HCG + my regular dosage my T levels shot WAY up to about 1300-1400.
The problem with that is obviously I donāt need to be 1300-1400 and if I did need that , Iād need AIās. My doc had lots of Spec Ops guys (now contractors who donāt have their old squad Drās) and he might have them at 1400 but thatās with AIās and I thinkn its not year round
So now my estrogen was also up & sleep quality was out the window - I would either wake up 3-4 times a night or get up and stay up due to rotating hot & cold flashes, sweats - sore pointy nips - plus now my BP was sky high and my Hematocrit was so high I couldnāt even donate blood.
This situation left me with little room for options and having an ex trainer of mine drop dead of a stroke at 50, I started to sweat bullets about my blood viscosity situation and just stopped.

Iām glad I donāt have problems with sleep anymore. How did I even make gains while I was deployed? Shittiest sleep of my life. Still made progress though. My natural T was probably sky high at that point.

@physioLojik Can you elaborate why? I love me some plain Greek yogurt. Great source of protein and very low calorie. I prefer to get my fat from tastier sources like eggs, almond butter, avocados, macadamia nuts, etc.
This symptom has subsided.

Are you taking the melatonin they prescribed to?
I take it and am stopping. Every night I get this cough like I have menthol in the throat. I was up for 3 hours last night coughing every time I took a deep breath. I was told to eat with the pill and thatās how Iāve always taken it.
Zero reports of this on melatonin. I did read it can make asthma worse. I donāt have asthma though.
Pregnalone seems to be working for me. Or itās the cream jsut kicking in now that Iām a month in itā¦ who knows . Definitely not going to test without
So maybe your leveling out? nice bro!

I am definitely taking the melatonin, 12mg about 30 minutes before bed. Sleeping great also! According to Nichols and Rouzier it has many other benefits besides just sleep. I have not experienced any of the symptoms you mentioned. I take my melatonin about 10-15 minutes before my pre bed snack.
I am 8 weeks into TRT and feeling better every day, like a new man. Doc actually increased my dosage of T and put me on every day injections. Once my Cyp runs out I will switch to the scrotum cream.

Nice Iām having a much better time on the cream . When I switched i did not feel good at all. The further away I get form my final injection the better I feel. Lowered levels. But I also think the Preg dhea also is helping.
One thing i have regained is labido. Itās on fire. I canāt get my mind off it. I really hope I donāt stay this horny for yearsā¦ not enough woman in my life. Labido on cream much better than on injections: more fullness and sensitivity as well. A few guys on another board put the cream on the shaft and head itself. I took that suggestion and it was redicuoousoy effective. Keep this in mind
If there is any remnant it cream when you have sex; the wife will tell me a couple hours later how sheās even hornierā¦ ādo you think your T got on me husbasnd?ā No wayā¦ Iām just really good in the sackā¦ ego
Lolll

Lol about the shaft, haha!
Regarding you feeling better getting away from injections. Hopefully my experience is a bit better, I am injecting 30mg every day. Dr Nichols said as far as the best delivery systems go scrotal cream is option 1 with everyday injecting being option 1A. So when I run out of cyp I am excited to see what the cream does. He did say it is absolutely best for libido

I would like to try some cream on my rod tooā¦
I would stop the injections right away and start the cream. or as soon as possible. the cypionate/injections are going to be sitting in your system for some weeks and you will be adding cream on top. so the faster your levels drop, the faster your body reaches good levels on cream.
How was your appointment. He and his wife are awesome folks and professionals. loved talking with them.
Per coaches request dropping dose down to 140mg a week (70x2) as the extra probably isnt doing many benefits and I dont feel that much better on the 210mg a week. I will start this next week to finish out my 8th week on the 60mg EOD schedule.
