Hey gang,
I just received my first delivery and have back filled 4x 27G 1” syringes and have found that there is closer to .27mL instead of my prescribed .25mL. Is this normal or could the markings on the syringes be off a fraction?
If it’s normal I guess I’ll be using slightly over these first two weeks!
I know this is in normal range, but despite lifting 3 or 4 days a week, eating well, drinking moderately I have stubborn belly fat, need a nap most afternoons and suffer from lack of motivation. About the only symptom I don't have is my libido is fine.
Seeking opinions. OP 35 M test levels 15.2 as of August 2026.
Previous test 20.5 May 2023.
Is this considered low?
Started regular weight training last 4 months.
Context : In the process of getting a vasectomy. Married with 2 children.
Will vasectomy affect test levels?
I'm a 19-year-old male, 180cm (5'10"), 86kg (190 lbs), around 15% body fat, with a testosterone level of nearly 700ng. For the last 2 months I've been at the lowest and worst point of my life in every way you can imagine. I never used to believe in depression, but it's definitely real. (especially those related to self-harm) I'm experiencing things like lack of desire, weakness, no energy, and no source of motivation, which are among the symptoms. I know these are things that are "in my head" and things I can fix, but I want to make a good start to get out of the lowest point of my current life. And from what I've researched, there are people who use TRT purely for its mental benefits and whose lives have changed. I need your advice and suggestions on this — like which type of testosterone I should use, how much I should take, what protective medications I should include, and whether I'd regret adding HCG later, I live in Türkiye, and therefore, what difficulties might I encounter in finding medication, getting help when I go to the doctor, and carrying it while traveling? etc.
I just had a checkup done and there wasn't a single issue in my bloodwork (I used to have significant iron deficiency, but I've slowly started correcting it).I don't have a serious erectile dysfunction problem, but my erections feel like they're not at 100% and they don't last long. I look more mature than my peers (people thought I was 25), and I can't exercise regularly because it sometimes takes me a week to recover.
Hello all! These are my most recent readings after being on TRT for little over 12 weeks now. I have been pinning 37.5mg every Monday & Thursday (Total 75mg per week). Apart from mood swings, irritability and inconsistent Libido rest are all good. I feel stronger in the gym and recovery is great too. Mood swings are impacting my work and personal life a bit.
Any advice to get mood swings and irritability under control would be greatly appreciated.
New to TRT and I’m on 200 mg per week and I split it up into 3 or 4 pins. My question is what do I need to look for when it comes to knowing estrogen is too high without labs every month which just isn’t feasible
Hey gang,
I’m about to start 125mg Primoteston using a 27g 1/2” needle and would prefer to get inject into my quads. Is there a good test to see if I can achieve shallow intramuscular? I’m probably around 20ish % BF. I’m confident that delts won’t be an issue but quads seems easier to start with.
Cheers
I’ve been told various things about what to expect on a TRT regimen of 200 mg per week. Keep in mind my total levels were around 600 but free test was on the lower end. I just want opinions on what to expect and when to expect it. Currently on week 2. I’m a first responder over 30 and I’m getting it for $51 a month so not bad. The argument is some saying there’s no benefit to optimizing levels and people being closed minded to the possibility my “normal” levels could be different than your normal levels and vise versa. I would like some opinions
I had my bloods done and my total testosterone came back good for nearly 50 years old at 24.1 but my SHGB is really high at 77 and my total free testosterone wasn’t directly stated. When I put it in chat it said it would be around 290. Is that free testosterone very low due to high SHGB. I don’t know much about this stuff and it’s hard to find actual answers.
I’ve been on TRT for a while and currently use Edged, but I’m considering moving clinics.
My main issues are that their pricing and policies keep changing, they only allow one 5 mL vial at a time, and the main doctor I was seeing is no longer taking consults.
I’m looking for a reliable long-term Australian TRT clinic or doctor, ideally telehealth, with consistent pricing, sensible blood monitoring and reasonable prescription quantities.
Who are you using and would you recommend them?
Hi all,
I’m a 29 yo male recently approved for trt replacement with trt aus.
I just had my consultation with the guy that does the onboarding and he told me that each supply you need to order 12 x 1ml ampoules. I’m a little confused if it’s an ampoule how am I suppose to distribute my .25 dose and then travel with it.
I forgot to ask him if they are single use or if they had the rubber stopper on them. I told him I was an active traveler and just want to know if I start my injection on the Monday I can pack the rest for the 2nd dose on the Thursday - they are starting me on .5ml a week
I was just hoping before I sign up someone is able to answer my question as im kinda freaking out a bit and just want to make sure before I fork out the money as I’ll be going international in 3 weeks.
TIA
Looking for some advice/opinions. On 175mg of Test Cyp and thought my Testosterone would be higher than it is. I have low libido and the occasional anxious moments.
BACKGROUND
Age : 38
Height : 173cm
Weight : 85kg
Waist : 33 (not sure where that puts my bf %)
I'm currently injecting 175mg of Test Cyp Monday, Wednesday and Friday sub-Q. My bloods were taken on a Sunday morning after 6 weeks on this protocol.
Relevant results:
- Total T: 23.2 nmol/L
- Free T: 571 pmol/L
- SHBG: 27 nmol/L
- Sensitive E2: 178 pmol/L
I'm feeling MUCH better than before I started test. I was at 303 pmol/L before I started. Depression is gone, energy is amazing, motivation is amazing. I'm building muscle and working out 5 times a week. However I still have very low libido, ED, and at times heightened anxiety.
What do you guys suggest? I'm happy to take AI if it comes to it, but preference would be to fix via improved dosing. Should I switch from Sub Q to IM? Or should I move to daily pins instead. Should I expect my test is to rise even more as more time passes?
Hi brains trust!
Recently had some blood work done and I would like to try and increase my testosterone. I’m 25yo, go to the gym 3-4 times a week and active on the weekends. My dieting is okay, currently down 10kg from 15weeks ago, now 76kg. Would I benefit from anything like enclomiphene or hcg? If you need more info from my blood work I’m happy to share 🙂
I’m new to all of this so please go easy 🙏🏽
Hey boys a bit of background.
I’m 30, around 80kgs, train 3 days a week Muay Thai, I take heaps of supplements/vitamins, average 7.5 hours sleep, watch what I eat except weekends, do steps, don’t drink often, I’m not fat but I’m not skinny. I have noticed that I could be feeling better hence why I got the blood test done. I’ll only have sex once a week with my gf and that’s it. Libido definitely feels lacking. I do nap nearly every day despite getting pretty good sleep. I feel like I don’t have high drive in general. My mood is pretty good though and as I said above I do take pretty good care of myself overall.
Also I take a low dose fin and minoxidil for hair loss. I did find this may have also had a small impact on libido and also on my load size if that counts for anything.
Any advice for me would be appreciated since I am only 30 and am not taking this decision lightly. Thanks!
46yrs old. Pic of my bloods done a year ago GP said my levels were good. Last few months my body/energy/libido has been crap, want to do another test through a clinic to see if my levels have dropped more and get treatment if needed, with so many clinics out there could anyone give some advice on a good clinic to go through
Here’s my recent test results, I’m 34yo m and have been feeling like shit for a while, no sex drive, low energy, emotionless really….. got approved by primal zone for trt and have attached my doses and medicines above. My main concern is am I too young to be starting this “for life” treatment and also what are people’s experiences with drinking alcohol while on trt? I don’t drink often but when I do say 3-4 times a year I’ll go on a full blown bender. Just abit wigged out by the whole thing. Many thanks.
So I got these today!!
Am I doing damage running like this.
I'm only doing 86mg twice and week.
Can I get some advice on these number?
Howdy all,
Just been prescribed trt via Foundation Men's Health.
They've been great to deal with thus far, had two blood tests prior to starting, first was around 312 total, second is above.
I have lost around 40kg over the last 5 years or so but it was always yo-yo dieting and a huge struggle, makes me wonder how long my levels have been here, especially considering how quickly Drs are to prescribe antidepressants instead of really looking into possible root causes (like hormones).
Plan on getting a full panel done including FSH, LH, and Oestradiol to really keep an eye on things.
I've been started on 125mg a week, which is a bit tricky as the syringe only comes in a 250mg dose with no measurements, I have a background in health so didn't find it too much of a hassle.
Anyways, 3 days in and I'm not sure if it's a placebo, my brain or what but I feel amazing. Does it work this fast?? Is this what real life is???
Also for clarity, I'm on 4mg of Reta per week, BPC, MOTS-C and GHK-CU.
Thanks for attending my ted talk
I am 46 and currently 85kgs, I started TRT 4.5 weeks ago at 100mg a week dosed twice a week at 0.20 per injection.
I am weight training roughly 3-4 days a weeks and also take 3mg of Reta.
My 4 week blood test results came back with good numbers but the doc wants to drop me to 85mg a week and also to start taking half a tablet a week of an aromatise inhibitor.
I am feeling good on this dose and have zero symptoms to suggest i need an AI at this stage. Is it normal to take this if i am not experiencing any negative side effects? I don't just want to ignore the doc but sometimes they just like to provide a blanket and safe response to every patient. Seeing what other peoples experience has been either way.
Total test pre TRT - 14.3
Free test pre TRT - 262.0
Oestradiol pre TRT - 153 pmol
Total Test 4 weeks of TRT - 35.8 nmol/l

Any feedback is much appreciated.
