Yes ultrafiltration. Not happy about the Vermuelen numbers... Sure not going to reduce dose further! I am calling this the lowest effective dose for my needs. Doing OK, but did feel more super when I was on higher dose. Complicated parsing it all though with the cancer. f I ever pull out of...

Just fine. Though the honeymoon period when I started TRT was like being 18 again, I never had problems even when I was hypogonadal with free T in single digits, and no problems now. Lucky I guess.

Latest on 6.8mg/daily, 3.8/3 ratio of enanthate/proprionate by weight. Previous 7mg/daily 4/3 ratio. HCG 200iu EOD, DHEA 25mg, Pregnenlone 50mg unchanged Total T is fine with me, but Free T took more of hit than I wanted.The ratio looks about on par with the SHBG shift. Of course trying to...

I absolutely believe this too because of my own belief bias! I prefer to call that logic or fact though. ;>)

It is not special case, it is incredibly common. Have your been reading this forum for long? It is constant that men come here with problems from this kind of antiquated protocol. Because something works for you it does not mean that is the norm for others. You are a rare N=1 on one end of the...

Likewise. I am sorry I can’t give simple answers to your questions. There is too much to unpack. I cannot attribute how I feel today compared to how I felt on higher dose during or prior to the cancer and its many severe complications. The symptomatic baseline was wildly shifting for the last...

I am one of the lower dosers on this forum. 6.8mg daily, T cyp/prop blend. I feel well on this. (also DHEA, pregnenlone and HCG). I won't be winning bodybuilding competitions, but I can make modest gains when I try, and I am quite active... in remission from lymphocytic leukemia *(a form of non...

Neither of the arguments for or against use of TRT with prostate cancer are unfailingly correct. It seems pretty well proven that TRT does not CAUSE prostate cancer. Morgentaler debunked this well, and the data supports this However, Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) remains a standard...

1: 3+4 is low grade. 4+3 is more serious. Depending on other factors you may still be good for watch and wait. 2: PIRADS 4 is serious, but may be able to be treated by focal therapy. There are many methods of focal therapy. One of the biggest factors for this is whether the lesion is well...

I did a quick search and found no references to this as a side effect from taking T. And to me, if you've been on the same dose and doing well for years, it seems an unlikely cause. That is not to say that it can't happen, but I would not draw the conclusion that it is related. There are...

Makes a difference with Propionate, otherwise not much

Yes. I pay Defy out of pocket, use them for ordering T, buy HCG from reliableRX, and OTC online. Dr Saya also manages my thyroid, but my PCP is agreeable to ordering all hormone labs and writing Rx for the thyroid. One thing to know, is there's an odd exlusion for lab coverage. If labs are...
