[QUOTE="Helboi, post: 36486, member: 5685"] Results are finally in! I felt like a kid in 1985 getting a Nintendo for Christmas when Defy told me they were finally here (it's been 13 days since the draw). Before I post results, I'll just mention the symptom improvements I've seen since the protocol change we made 8 weeks ago (see post from Feb 2 above). So I've noticed a big change in mood. I have a long history with depression since my late teens, and I think this is the best, most stable mood I've been in for the past 15 years. I've gained about 5 pounds, which I do believe is mostly muscle. I've noticed a hardening and thickening of my muscles in some areas, even though I'm not currently working out and haven't changed my diet (which is still not ideal). My motivation seems to be returning, and my energy levels are decent, but both of those areas I think could still stand to improve. My sleep is still off and on, but not much changed in the past 8 weeks. And here are my results (I've re-posted the results from prior to the protocol change for comparison): January 2015 results (160mg/week split every 3.5 days plus daily 100 units of HCG, DHEA/Pregnenalone cream daily): Total T: 649 ng/dL (range 348-1197) Free T: 18.9 pg/mL (range 8.7-25.1) Estradiol sensitive 45.2 pg/mL (range 8.0-35.0) DHEA 194.3 ug/dL (range 102.6-416.3) SHBG 27.5 nmol/L (range 16.5-55.9) And here are results from March of 2015 (50mg T every other day IM, 25mg DHEA/day, no HCG or pregnenalone): Total T: 1137 ng/dL (range 348-1197) Free T: 25.6 pg/mL (range 8.7-25.1) Estradiol sensitive 49.6 pg/mL (range 8.0-35.0) DHEA 280.7 ug/dL (range 102.6-416.3) SHBG 31.3 nmol/L (range 16.5-55.9) Needless to say, I was shocked at my T nearly doubling (and free T jumping 6-7 points)! I figured it'd be up to 800 or so. I was also surprised to see that my E2 went up, but the overall ratio of E to T is much improved, so I guess that's why I'm feeling subjectively like my E2 went down. DHEA could still use a boost I think. But otherwise my numbers are golden and I feel pretty damn great, though could still use improvements in motivation, energy levels, body composition...but I'd imagine those elements will improve as I maintain these levels over the next 6-12 months. Can't wait to consult with Dr. Saya again and see what he thinks. What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
