Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 --Eugene, Your morning body temp is NOT low. 97.4 is perfectly normal for any man morning or night. Some people run a little hotter and some a little cooler. 97.8 to 99.1 is the normal body temp range. To be 97.4 during times of inactivity (such as sleeping) is perfectly normal. Now if your normal temp during the day were 97.4, you might find a relationship between a physical issue and your temp but you're very much normal during the day. Go have a nice 4th of July.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Hear is a good link on taking your Temp and in this is a graf you can print and keep track. Today my Temp is staying steady at 97 so there seams to be no rime or reason to my Temp. http://www.drrind.com/tempgraph.asp#directions I must have low Cortisol levels. I have heard men say they don't get a feeling of well being doing HCG shots by there libido came up and there T levels come up some. As for LH it makes not difference where it is at doing HCG. Maybe it is too soon yet and you need to be on it for a wile. I did not get my levels up higher untill I was past my 15th shot of HCG.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Hi All, Age related ED comes back again after your T level stabilizes at the new higher level if it is truley age related. When I began TRT many years ago, it was in search of a cure for my ED which was severe at 60. The first set of pellets seemed to cure my ED as erections were quick and long lasting for several weeks while the T levels were increasing in my body. Then this effect of ramping up T began to loose its effect. I thought the next set of hormone pellets would restore this benefit but NO. The doctor explained it is a sympton of increasing levels of T in the blood. Once the level stabilizes, whatever form of age related ED you had, will return. I'm still on TRT as the other benefits were well wroth it. ernestnolan > > Phil, > > > > I felt really good when I was doing the compounded topical on my > > scrotum.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 I have asked you this before and you never answered did you ever have your Estradiol Checked. You can still have high Estradiol on pellets and this can keep you from having good wood. We have Roy here that had his estradiol checked and found it to be high and getting it down he had some morning wood he is in his 80's.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Hello Eugene and toward the other gentlemen. Hope the holiday weekend is super for you all. Im also primary Eugene and about to add HCG if Im lucky along with that anti E2 to my formula. I was wondering, does HCG really improve your LH and FSH thus, stimulate your testes to produce testestone given you are primary? I'm confused as well with something. If HCG allows the testes to produce sperm in a male, is taking TRT for that same pupose, over-whelming the Testosterone in the system or is their a limit of T the testes can produce if HCG works, given the testes are still damaged? I typed that thinking the body converts HCG into testesterone or atleast is a gateway that stimulates. --------------------------------- How low will we go?

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Elliot, I am primary, which means my testes don't work as well as they should. If I only took HCG, it probably wouldn't anything for me. I take the HCG to keep my testes functioning, to prevent the shutdown that occurs when on TRT. > > Hello Eugene and toward the other gentlemen. Hope the holiday weekend is super for you all.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hey Elliot - HCG acts as an analog to Luetinizing Hormone. The body thinks it LH. LH signals the testes to start production of testosterone. Your testes can only produce so much so if you add more HCG it will not always make more T. In fact, too much can desensitize you so you don't produce as much. For example, prior to starting TRT, your body was producing some amount of T. HCG will stimulate you to produce some amount of T. Hope this helps - Arkansas ELLIOT BAKER <elliotbkr@...> wrote: Hello Eugene and toward the other gentlemen. Hope the holiday weekend is super for you all.
