Sorry to hear that brother. That would be a huge red flag for me. I have not experienced any libido issues on DHT AAS. I do admit each compound slightly alters that part of me. If im running primo I am still able to perform but Im not thinking about the action of it constantly. Mast is a slightly better libido where I am trying to initiate it more often. I dont have any experience with EQ or DHB. Deca makes me not last rounds and tren makes me feel like its my last chance in life. Even at low doses like 250 test 100 primo 100 mast , I feel completely balanced overall.

What are some things you have tried ? What dosages are you running ? Are you on any meds that could be contributing ?

I feel really good on 10iu of GH. I still have the expected sides such as tight hands and minor water retention. I titrated up to 10iu over time. This might sound strange but to combat water retention on gh I drink fresh squeezed lemonade daily. Since Its a natural diuretic and it can counteract higher sodium levels in the body.

I think sharing our experiences in the long term will be beneficial in sharing triumphs and fails. But I do feel we need to be pulling labs on more than just total test and e2. And on another note I think individually our bodies responds to certain anabolics better than others. Test mast and primo are by far the best compounds for me. Barely any hair loss and no acne, just nice size that is noticable in weekly physique pictures. Deca and tren can only be sprinkled in for me otherwise I start to have sides such as acne and poor sleep etc.

Thanks for sharing !

I dont seem to have the same side effects on GLP1's as others as far as hunger suppressant. I've been on sema tirz and reta. I've done once weekly shots and microdosing. I'm doing the reta daily to see if it feels different than a single administration weekly.

I am not on any prescribed meds. But I do keep ezetimibe on hand just in case I need them in the future. I will also add , I dont really run oral AAS. My lipids in this blood test are on oils alone.

You are correct. Low SHBG will provide high free testosterone. My understanding of total testosterone is its made up of SHBG bound testosterone, albumin bound and free testosterone. I also believe SHBG makes up a higher percentage of the three.

I had to edit the post to add the screenshots. The short list without a category is my blood pressure management list of supplements. The list with the defined category is my daily supplement stack. This is paired with a micronutrients food list spreadsheet. As I change my diet and eliminate foods I throw in supplements of missing micronutrient’s. When I am increasing food to a balanced diet I decrease total supplements. I need to make another revision to the food list. If you interested , I can send you food list in the near future.

Whats up Mikey ! Hope and and yours are doing well. Let me check how to post the screenshots of what I have.

To be completely honest I don’t truly know. I don’t do anything special. I stay hydrated and drink electrolytes daily like most. I have a supplement list that I have in spreadsheet form and take them daily. Whether they are water soluble or fat soluble.

To add to the confusion I take blood pressure almost daily and on avg it’s 108/68 without any blood pressure meds. I keep telmisartan on hand but I have never needed it. Maybe I need to be over 2grams weekly to need them? Time will tell I guess. Would be happy to share my supplement list if your interested.

Thank you brother ! I’m learning how to pivot on cycle every time I run one. Reference old cycle logs for repeated side effects and try different things to solve them. Logs on specific compounds has kept me from making the same mistakes which can be prevented.

I’ll let you know how the carderine affects me in the long run. I’m a believer, I already have more coming. 100 count didn’t seem like enough. I’ll try not to hoard this one like the injectables lol.

Anytime I can share something that can be insightful to others I will attempt to do so. I’m not the most active around here but I try to be. At the very least I can share bloodwork and cycles ran.

You bring up some great points that I am still addressing/ learning about myself. To address the total testosterone first. I’ve had blood work where I take test 250mg weekly solo and my total test comes back around 1600ng/dl and my shbg is around 20. I have another blood test with same dose and source and the only difference is adding additional compounds such as primo mast and tren and my results are 800ng/dl and shbg under 10.

Regarding the igf, I have not ever had an igf result higher than low 300. I have ran various dosages and also tried different sources. Typical gh sides are always there like small baseball mitts for hands. Tough to close etc. but I will add I have had igf in the mid 200 on lower doses and higher e2. My understanding is they have some correlation.

I appreciate the questions and feedback and most importantly the supportive words!
