(+ My andro experience)]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">I've been meaning to try a DHT gel pending I can find a source here in the U.S. - the goal is to temporarily upregulate 5-ar and increase LH/FSH without suppressing natural production.</p>
<p dir="auto">Barring my overtraining and sometimes poor sleep hygiene, I'm healthy and have no suspicion of poor hormonal health.</p>
<p dir="auto">Though, a post by BerbarianWizard claiming that "DHT gives more drive and cosmetics." tempts me to try it out.</p>
<p dir="auto">My problem is that I've heard that Andro is a "mirror image of DHT" and can even be converted into DHT. I have like 2-3 bottles of Andro sitting around that I use ~2-4x/week in the morning. So, I'm wondering if I would even get a novel effect from DHT - any thoughts on this? Does andro also upregulate 5-ar and increase LH/FSH to a similar degree that DHT does?</p>
<p dir="auto">As for my experience, I have taken Androsterone in the 2mg-25mg range on and off for the last 2.5 years, here are all effects I have experienced</p>
<ul>
<li>The obvious pheromone effect<br />
<strong>Most</strong> women are noticeably more receptive to me in any context in the 24-72 hours of administering androsterone in my experience. Ranging from being more kind, friendly, conversational, to just being straight up touchy and flirty.<br />
One other thing I will add is emphasis on <strong>most</strong>. For some reason, I've had pretty negative social interactions with women I've previously had positive interactions with when not taking androsterone. I have no explanation for this, could just be one offs - unsure.<br />
When I say pretty negative, I mean like a dry conversation and a flat tone - "unhappy to see me" type vibes lol.</li>
<li>Accelerated facial hair growth<br />
Waking the next day shows more facial hair growth then when I'm not taking andro</li>
<li>Deeper voice</li>
<li>Eggplant emoji</li>
<li>Calmer, less anxious, prosocial effect</li>
<li>Brittle bones<br />
I only experienced this when I took andro in the 15+mg range and sustained it for a few days in a row - never again <img src="https://bioenergetic.forum/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f604.png?v=faa7661d97b" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--smile" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":D" alt="😄" /></li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">That's all I can recall from the top of my head - as a side note, these days I take andro alongside Pansterone, but I'll run out of that soon so it will be just Andro eventually until I decide to restock.</p>
