KSman is Here

Hello KSman,

Would you have any advice in these two cases?


Got some labs in, will post 3 pics below.

Seems DHEA and VitD were low.

Hermatocrit high? (or just need to watch?)

30 years old, been on TRT almost a full month
Still havent gotten HCG in yet
low T symptoms still naling me, so tired, all the time, probably worse than before I started.
(I have just started subQ EOD with my Test Cyp as of Monday, going to see how that goes. Waiting on HCG injectable and will taking likewise EOD or daily in small amounts)

KSman, first, thanks for all of your effort in this forum. Seems you’ve helped a lot of people and I’ve learned a lot from your posts.

Pointer to my thread:

As of this moment, I have not started TRT, but will soon. I have had inconsistent test results, and wonder if you could comment. Thanks.

KSman,

Glad to have an amazingly bright dude like you. Good job in helping so many people, must feel really good. I try to help whenever i can regarding my field and the feeling is amazing.

Here is my thread if you get time check it out whenever! I visited 9 doctors the past 9 years and havent really gotten any help at all and took matters in my own hand. My thread is a bit long but i couldnt make it really shorter because it describes my life the past 9 years.

Cheers dude, take care

I think I wasn’t clear. I know a guy that had the same level of testosterone taking SERM, Taking Testosterone and taking HCG. He tried these meds no together. But with SERM his increase of E2 wasn’t that much, with testosterone either but with HCG his E2 became so high that he was almost getting man boobs and also his prostate got bigger. The only thing that worked for him was HCG + AI. Testosterone + AI his symptoms started to come back.

Why HCG increase so much E2 if the same level of testosterone by SERM and by Testosterone hasn’t increased much?
Why HCG was the only thing that made him feel good? I’m asking it because with SERM I got 900 of testosterone with not high E2, and also now I have aprox 500 testosterone. I think if you have bigger muscle your body will have more testosterone because when I was fatter I had just 340 of testosterone and now that I’m not that fat I have 500.

Do you think Pregnenolone is a must to take with DHEA? I’m taking 5mg of DHEA and not feeling a thing. But I see people taking just Pregnenolone with DHEA and with just 280 of testosterone feeling excellent.

Other thing I think when you increase DHT maybe testosterone can decrease, I saw a man taking proviron his DHT got higher and his testosterone lower and he was feeling better. Hormone is so strange and I’m sorry to ask you a lot of things but I’m trying to feel like a real man.[/quote]

The top end of his HPTA was not responding well to SERM.
His dose of hCG was too high.
Do not expect to feel DHEA, it is general health support.
Some might feel pregnenolone.
Proviron can be HPTA repressive, no surprise for me.

KsMan,

If taking ADEX to keep E2 in check, I assume the body is now going to convert more T into DHT. Is this correct?[/quote]

T–>DHT always happens. If lower E2 leads to more FT, there can be more FT–>DHT. Libido effects? Correcting elevated E2 probably is a greater thing than any increase in DHT.

My thread is not your case file. Please create your own thread and post there. Read the advice for new guys sticky, we need more than labs.

I use a .5ml 50 unit insulin syringe for my TRT. For SC injections of hCG, how many units on this syringe are equal to 250 iu’s?

Thank you!

Depends on how many iu’s per ml. Many mix at 1000iu/ml and 250iu would be 25 units on the syringe. Some mix to 2000iu/ml for 12.5 on the syringe.

Thanks

Hey KSman, I think you accidentally posted a reply to someone else’s case in my thread:

http://tnation.T-Nation.com/free_online_forum/sports_training_performance_bodybuilding_trt/51_about_to_start_trt

Your comments there don’t seem to apply to my case (for example, my cholesterol and HTC are not high - and I never posted any labs to your thread).

Could you edit the post to prevent confusion?

Thanks.

My vial says it is 2500iu/ml so, using the math in your examples, it looks like that equates to 10 units. Thank you very much for your help!

KSman, could you take a look at my thread?

Thanks!

Hey KSMan would love your input on my thread. Just finished a clomid PCT and posted bloodwork.

KSman,

I did loads of tests, posted here:

Please tell me what do you see.

Can you please look at my last post?

Do you think it’s possible for one to show low T symptoms, extreme depression and mood swings, anxiety, weak chin, while actually having high T (930ng/dl) and low-normal estradiol ?

KS, I’d love to hear your thoughts on my latest labs.
