Will do, Chris.

Quick background: 61 year old male been on and off treatment for the past 14 months. My doctor was okay but did not really understand TRT treatment completely. Was okay with HGC, but was trying to give me way too must test (200 mg a week) and did not understand the need for estradiol testing...

It should not matter.

Am in need of a new doc. If anyone here is in the Dallas, Texas area and have any suggestions, please let me know. My current doc, while great on giving me test and HCG does not completely understand all the other issues that can develop and how to really treat them. Specifically, I need...

I want to add that prior to changing my protocol, I was doing .75 ml of test and 500 ml of hcg every Saturday. That changed one week prior to the last blood work. I think I am going to wait a few weeks and see if the new protocol will bring my estradiol down. thoughts on this?

Pharmacist to,d me I could not cut them. Can I

Total Test 994 Estradiol 61 (ultrasensitive quest) PSA 1.3 Doc wants me on meds anastrozole 1mg every other day - I know this is way too much, but he will not listen. I have just (two weeks ago) started on this regiment: .25 ml's cyp...

So where does one go to get the sensitive test and is there any difference between labs? labcorp vs. quest

I know this is a strange question, but I consistently read about the acne that HRT causes and I keep waiting for it to happen to me...but nothing. Again, not complaining, but am just curious.

Gene, I am going in with this list of tests that you have posted. 1 ------- Estradiol- ultrasensitive [Quest Labs code 30289](range < 29) (Labcorp code: 140244) (baseline, week 6 or 8, month 6) 2 ------- Testosterone, Free, Bio/Total (LC/MS/MS) (baselines, week 6-8, month 6, then yearly) 3...

I have hardly any excess body fat. he will not give me the sensitive test. i will go back at ask for one this week.

so the doc has given me anastrozole 1mg to take twice a week. seems excessive from what I have read. thoughts anyone.

Gene, got another question. Doc wants me to go an an AI now. I am thinking about waiting and give this new pro tidal a chance to work. thoughts?

Will do, as always appreciate the advice.

75 mg. Just got got lowered from 100

So 37 mg Monday Wednesday. And hcg M, W, F that is doable thanks and Carter Blood now offers free therapeutic phlebotomies for trt patients in the Dallas area. With no prescription.

Will do. Thanks all. Gene, are you saying to split the test into two injections? if so, how would you recommend me doing the hcg?

Had hep C. And that Vietnam thing. been having really bad headaches the day of and after my test shots. But when we dropped the dosage by 25%, they were not as bad. No sleep apnea.

got new blood work, hematocrit level is at 56%. doc has decreased dosage to .75 ml a week of cyp. does this work for now. am currently looking for a therapeutic phlebotomy...since I cannot give blood.

Will do. I had gone in for thyroid check and he ran all of these. We are doing complete workup after week 12. I plan lane to bring in the list here of needed blood tests.

Not a complete work up, doc said he would do that at 12 weeks. Just wanted some feed back, am on 1 ml cyp and 500 mg(?) hcg a week.

Thanks for this it helps.

thread should read: synthroid and TRT Have been on synthroid since 2009, due to hep c treatment with interferon (3 times) and a burned out thyroid. Been trying to find out if cypionate and hcg will affect the dosage of my synthroid. current I take: 50 mg synthroid a day 100 cypionate a...

Not a nutritionist but 1350 a day is weight low calories. If you are working out that seems like too few calories.

6 weeks in and feeling better than I have in years. More energy, quicker wit, feeling stronger and less fatigue.

Not real new. Registered last fall. Went on treatment for a few weeks then stopped to do more research. Am not beginning a lifelong journey of TRT and feel very at home with my decision. Did my first shot on Wednesday and will start Hcg next week. Looking forward yo all the help I can get.

Not sure what all you just said. One thing I forgot to add is that I have an enlarged prostate but PSA is only 1.4.

Been awhile but I am back. Took off time to educate and decide what to do. Latest labs: FSH. 2.4 LH. 1.3 Test. 285 Est. 17 starting back on testosterone cypionate 1 cc hcg. 500 mg a week doc said to wait on AI will check blood

Okay, dumb ass me, I am on 1cc a week,not 100 ml. Does that any difference?

It is and I have been reading, a lot of information and a lot of terms I am not quite familiar with yet. But am learning.

Will do. I do have a favor to ask, if I stay on treatment....what else do I need to as for? Testicular atrophy does not sound appealing. LOL
