Someone pointed me to this thread. @roscoe88 forget about improving your libido if you block E2. E2 is what is responsible for libido as well as erection strength. Once free T is optimized, we are finding that men who have E2 levels of 60 pg/mL and above are getting the most benefits. I realize this sounds insane to you guys, but it’s a demonstrable fact. DHEA will also help (experiment with anywhere between 25-100mg daily). Also, if you are a healthy male who exercises and eats right, there is ZERO need to donate blood on TRT due to high h/h. ZERO. Try it for yourself. It’s free advice. My inbox is full of men who can’t believe it worked for them.
Thanks for taking the time to reach out. I am trying 30mg/day. I have noticed a definite difference with how aggressive I am with my gf in bed. So something seems to
Be working. It’s only been a few weeks but I will stay the course.
I did sign up for your fb group and have been enjoying reading thru things. Excellent information in there.
I know this is unlikely but ED can indicate a cardiovascular problem.
Maybe To rule that out when you have a chance do ekg, blood pressure and echocardiogram. And cardiologist may check some inflammation markers in blood.
I would not take an ai. That sweet spot shit is BS.

What is the units for your progesterone? My progesterone is 1nmol/l but my range is .5-2.0
Is your progesterone also nmol/l?
Send me a PM there if you’d like.
@markis655 men don’t concern themselves with progesterone. You need sufficient estrogen to resolve those issues.
Contrary to what some of you believe, hrdlvn provides the pinnacle of nonsense in this forum. It’s the epitome of comedic material every time I see him post. He blocked me so he can’t see my posts. You do not need to phlebotmize due to higher levels of hematocrit and hemoglobin. It is normal for those levels to raise. Only those who are obese or in poor health would have to monitor it. Healthy men do not.
I despise bro science. I really do.
I think people do like what you are providing for information on this forum, it’s been very helpful to some…but these are the types of comments that turn people away from the content in your messages I think.
Serious question - are saying things like that really necessary to get your point across? Or could you still deliver your message without lobbing insults at someone for their point of view?

It angers me to know that there are people out there, who won’t know better, who will actually follow this advice. It angers me because I used to follow ridiculous advice like this and the amount of suffering I experienced for 3 years, where I almost lost my wife because of it, makes me want to scream when I see people posting stuff like this as advice for others to follow. It absolutely pisses me off. So yes, it is necessary! If I can even help just one person I will have done my due diligence.

IMO it’s hrdlv who is not open to other views since he blocked Danny.
Why would anyone in this field want to block anyone even if you don’t agree.
Once in a while we through insults. Big deal.
I have zero people blocked. If I have a need to block ppl I might as well just get off the forum. I don’t read everything though,
…
We’ll agree to disagree on the necessity of insulting someone to strengthen or get your point across more effectively.
If the scientifically backed research supports what you are saying and those you provide it to choose to listen to bro-science instead… Well, you can lead a horse to water…
And I want to be clear - I enjoy reading emerging information about TRT and the stuff you’re posting. I’m not saying I don’t like the info, just don’t like having to sift through the banter to understand the message.
You can’t lead a horse to water because some are just too damn stubborn. But if that same horse starts telling all the other horses that there is no water there, and the other horses start dying of dehydration, I’m going to put that horse down.
What I am stating here are not ‘views’ or ‘opinions’ . It is demonstrated, proven fact.
Can you elaborate on “exercise”. It needs to be defined. Many people believe lifting weights is enough. If that is your definition, great. If not, then define it properly. Thanks.
I mean someone in general good health. Some form of exercise (it doesn’t matter as long as you get your heart pumping and your body moving). If you sit on your ass all day and weigh 300lbs you might want to address h/h if it gets high.
As per the interview I just did with Dr Serrano, B12 supplementation is wise for erythrocytosis.
I think you are still vague.
Lifting can get your heart moving. But my bro has big muscles with a huge gut and bf. He plays hockey once a week and believes that is enough.
I personally don’t call lifting weights exercise.
Also, thus guy has to donate blood to keep his count down per our dr.
If you don’t call lifting weights exercise, then you’re doing it wrong 
I just started training again two weeks ago after a one year layoff. I’ve thrown up twice already.

You know what i mean. I was hoping you would say target heart rate or mention intensity, etc. Then i’d like you to say working out at X intensity will help with high rbc.
At the LA fitness where i go, most of the people on the weights are not exercising. They are just lying to themselves as they watch tv shows on their phones.
No one throws up there!
If it hasn’t been said yet, try switching to sub q injections, same dose and frequency. Made all the difference for me.
