Low dose testosterone without HCG

#61

Only eaten 2 meals today. One was a big one. After the second I exercised. Now I am not hungry at all. Got that kind of clogged/full stomach intestine feeling.

Noticed a few twitches tonight.

I really want my appetite back. It was back after a day on testosterone. I am wondering what has happened?

  • Testicles producing less hormones? Too low estrogen making me not hungry?
  • Too high estrogen from the shots? Effecting cortisol?
  • Too low testosterone from the shots? I am on a pretty conservative dose. I think most people take 100MG + HCG.

Maybe I should get a blood test? I think I have one request form I could use.

Getting a blood glucose meter this week. I hope to find a relation between blood glucose and hunger.

Woke up this morning at 9:30 now it is 11:10. Still have 0 appetite, have that feeling where my stomach intenstines feels full. I woke up at in the early morning and remember having pretty good nocternal wood. And at that point my balls felt soft. Right now they feel pretty dense.

Seems like I am not shut down?

Ok it is 2:26pm and I have not eaten yet. At the moment I feel not really hungry. I just got my blood glucose machine and did a test. The result was 5.4 nmol/l. This seems quite high considering I have not eating. This is probably why I am not hungry.

Been lying in bed had a sleep. It is almost 7:00 hear have only eaten one meal. Retested blood glucose : 5.1.

Feel like my limbs are tired.

WTF happened to the initial improvements I was experiencing?

#65

After a sleep today I felt a bit better. I ate just 3 times today, usually I eat 5 times a day.

I ate about 3 hours ago. Blood glucose is 6.3. I have felt more energy tonight. Did some language study.

Woke up this morning I checked my scrotum color while still in bed. Seemed to be normal. As usual I needed to take a crap as soon as I wake up. I pretty much have to run to the toilet on most days. Checked my scrotum 20 mins after waking it seems more red. I will keep checking to see if this happens every day. This must be a clue because I did not have this before I took finasteride.

Today I am due for a testosterone shot. I just went to the lab and tested Total T + Free T + SHBG + Estradiol + LH + DHEA.

Today I am going to up my T dose to 45mg E3D. This is 105 each week. I think the standard TRT protocul is 100 MG per week plus some HCG, so this would equal over 100MG of test per week.

Do not remember getting any wood last night, did not sleep that deeply. My cystic acne on my but and back is not coming back since on the testosterone. So that is one think pretty much cured.

Injected 45MG Test.

Tested blood sugar. it is 11:30 am I have not eaten not really hungry. Blood sugar came up as 6.2, i retested an it was 6.0. :neutral_face: This is pretty high for morning fasting?

Maybe high because I did the blood test today and going out in the morning gives me some anxiety? This is not a very healthy level. Having high blood glucose is very bad for your health.

I exercises every day and eat very healthy. I am not overweight so this must be hormone related.

#68

I had my breakfast a number of hours ago. I just tested blood sugar. 5.8nmol/l this seems too high.

Well my energy has been quite good today. Put a good day of work in did some study at night and still not low on energy. Much much better than yesterday.

Also just tonight seem to have a feeling of hunger. I checked blood glucose it is 7.0. So that is wierd.

But a pretty good day today. Morning was not great.

Could not fall asleep last night. Had to take 1 gram of GABA.

I woke up with a big wood that would not go away. Reminded me of pre finasteride times when i would always wake up to go to the toilet but found it very hard to pee because wood would not go down.

So it seems since upping the dose I have noticed some improvements.

I just woke up and would say I feel a bit hungry.

Testicles still seem hard.

Did a blood glucose test about an hour after I woke up. It is 5.5. Seems hugh. Despite that feel a bit hungry.

#73

Thought I would do a porn test. Was able to get an erreciton in 1 minute of only visual stimuli.

#74

Actually this thing forced me to take saw palmetto. I was like that for 20 years. Was having disturbed sleep because of painful wood many times a night.

#75

have not eaten since breakfast it is 2:30 here. Not hungry, blood sugar is 6.1. Seems high.

#76

What ranges are you going off of there?

This and there are many other websites that talk about healthy levels. My glycated hemaglobin was top of the range this shows I have high blood glucose. Which is what my blood glucose machine is verifying.

#78

Seems a bit high considering you havent eaten since breakfast. What do you think about this, as in what is causing it?

#79

Ok its 6:00 and did not eat in a number of hours. I really should be feeling hungry now. Have a full feeling even though I know this is not too normal for me. Blood glucose is 5.7.

I dono what is causing this I have had appetite problems for quite a while. I thought it was fixed when I started this round of testosterone but it seems it has not been fixed. I really dont know what is happening.

Something to do with estrogen? High low estrogen. I feel like I have much more energy since taking the testosterone perhaps I have more free cortisol which increases blood sugar. I have also lost all the cystic acne I was getting on my but while on testosterone. This could mean higher cortisol or lower estrogen.

When I was taking high doses of HCG + Test I goto some really bad acne on my back still got this huge scar there. But this time with T only in small doses my post fin acne has cleared up.

I hope to get my blood test back soon and see whats happening with E and T.

Yesterday energy was good. SO far today it is good. This is something the testosterone has improved a lot. Never feel like my battery has gone flat.

Yesterday a girl got on webcam, not naked or anything just being a bit sexy. I had movement down there.

Last night I slept well. Can not remember any errections like the night before.

Noticing some tiwitches now and then.

Yesterday after I had a big exercise serssion I felt a moment of pannic for no reason. It did not last long.

Quite a lot of people talk about how estrogen blocks the androgen receptors. I wonder if this is true. We have much more total test than estrogen.

But if you compare FREE test to Total estradiol. I have much more estradiol. Estradiol binds to SHBG but to what degree?

My free test has been below range always. Estrogen never below range. So if my receptors are blocked with estrogen. This would explain low ADIOLG?

I also recovered my libido on arimidex.
