NH_Watts' TRT Log

Thanks @NH_Watts, much appreciated.

During my last urologist appointment, I asked if I could bring my own bloods and he said yes.

This sale is good timing with an appointment upcoming. I just ordered E2 ultra sensitive, Test Total and Free, Hemaglobin/Hematocrit and Prolactin for fraction of what that normally would cost.

Doctor likes to see my hemaglobin and hematocrit, so I ordered… Plus prolactin has been at the top of the range. Dr prescribed cabergoline, but after reading about DAWS, I’m not taking it. Have been supplementing with B6 and Tyrosine on Dr Coaches advice… So we’ll see if it worked.

Glad to hear things are going well with you and thanks again.

Vitamin D = 58 (last test 63)
SHBG = 24 (last test 27)

TT, FT, and E2 sensitive still pending. I take 10,000 IU a day vitamin D3.

And your back to 140 a week? Currently bumped my vitamin D up to 1000mg 4 x a week. (look compared to 10k a day, that aint shit!)

Yeah dude, 70x2 a week. Found out recently that I have a genetic situation where I dont properly convert sunlight into vitamin D so the 10k through the years to keep it around 60 makes total sense. Would be too much for most.

What kind of testing did you do?

I had the typical 23andMe gene testing done and then I also ran it through Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s system over at https://www.foundmyfitness.com/genetics for an additional $10, yes 10 dollars. And it spit out so much info I am still sorting through it. The vitamin D was interesting but I also, genetically, am prone to fat gain from saturated fat which explains why keto never worked for me.

No pun intended. Lol.

There’s a 23 and me for $149. Health and ancestry. I never bought into this stuff…I think I want it now

There are a bunch of ancillary tests you can have done depending on what you are looking for. I know Dr. Peter Attia has mentioned a few on his podcast but the names escape me.

So you did the 23 and me, and then how did you go from there? You send the results for further testing? Or did additional tests?

I am considering getting the health and ancestry kit as well. Government already has my DNA anyway.

You can download your raw data from 23andMe. Then you provide that for further analysis.

Ok interesting. I wonder what it is going to say about my Liver.

Full results now in. Blood was taken on my trough day just prior to injection. I inject 70mg T-cyp every 3.5 days (140mg a week).

TT = 1137 (250 - 1100)
Free T = 295.6 (35 - 155)
E2 (Ultra Sens) = 65 (< = 29)
Vitamin D = 58 (last test 63)
SHBG = 24 (last test 27)

Interestingly I fall right in line with the steroidcalc predictions. So my high is probably right around 1750.

You happy?

I am happy with the numbers. Seems like decent numbers given the protocol. In regard to life? Happier. Still battling fogginess and fatigue. My memory is still a real challenge.

So @yeti308 @dbossa since you guys have a firm grip on TRT and issues surrounding it I wonder if you can answer a question that has yet to really be answered. When my E2 goes up my ejaculate diminishes. By like 75%. There is no change in orgasm sensation or anything. If I drop my protocol and my E2 settles down the volume comes back. When I used to take an AI while on higher doses (220mg a week) it would come back. What is going on with this? Thanks for your time.

I will let yeti308 chime in on this one as his knowledge on the subject is infinitely higher than mine.

I appreciate it. Thank you.

Im interested in responses on this. I just wrapped up a blast and my volume was super low throughout. I’m curious to see what people think is the cause. I have a vasectomy so any ejaculate is coming from my prostate. Ive also noticed that there is no force to the ejaculate. It just dribbles. I think this is also a function of the prostate

I too had a vasectomy and yes my symptoms are the same. Though its not all prostate, its the seminal vesicle as well.

I’m also very interested in this volume issue too @NH_Watts and @alldayeveryday. I’ve also had a vasectomy.

I was just going to Google how to increase volume.

Having sex daily since 6/7 (it’s been amazing) could be part of the issue for me… But some days the volume is ok-ish, not great and other days it’s barely there. There have been 3 times I couldn’t finish (this morning being one of them).

Really interested to hear your take @yeti308
