    Disappointing first follow-up labs

    I've had two consults. Afterwards they send me a written/plan order. Maybe it's the provider's preference. I haven't been doing this long enough to know how they do things. I'm new to HRT

    Disappointing first follow-up labs

    I will take 20mg because that's what my provider told me to take. I will also take the AI for the same reason. I'm headed to Tiger Muay Thai, MMA, and Fitness, in Phuket, Thailand, on July 1. I'm going there for the express purpose of weight loss and fitness. I'll probably be there for around...

    Disappointing first follow-up labs

    Vince those are not my words. That is a cut and paste from the order from my provider. At Defy when you have a consultation, and after you are finished, they send you a written follow-up with your plan from the provider.

    Disappointing first follow-up labs

    Well done, Mark and Sean. My provider did just that. Stopped my T3/T4 Leo/Livo and put me on a T3. My new plan is as follows: INCREASE T Cyp 200 mg/mL – 0.10 mL (20mg) SQ Daily. INCREASE HCG 200 IU SQ Daily. To reverse/prevent testicular atrophy. Increase Free T. BEGIN Anastrozole 0.125 mg...

    Disappointing first follow-up labs

    I have been on TRT for 2 months now and it doesn't look, upon first glance, that my numbers are very good. But as a newbie maybe I just don't have the experience yet to see. My total testosterone has limped up to 349 from 332 Free testosterone has increased to 9.6 from 3.8 (LOW) Sensitive...

    HCG low dose daily and higher dose the two days before testosterone injection

    I take my test and 100IU of HCG every morning. I experimented and found that if I take the test in the morning and the HCG in the evening I feel pretty good.

    Better to inject T daily and HCG less often, or HCG daily and T less often

    I inject both testosterone and HCG daily at the same time.

    Why Can't I Tolerate TRT From a Mental Standpoint?

    Dr. Rob Kominiarek has spoken often about the association between the enzyme Monoamine oxidase A, the so-called 'warrior gene' and TRT. He said that those that have this warrior gene almost always have extreme anxiety when they take testosterone.

    doctors on e2 (don’t worry about it)

    I'm a newbie, but by reading this forum and reading Jay Campbell's TOT, I decided to begin TRT by injecting daily low dose to try to circumvent the estrogen problem. When I take my first follow-up labs, if I have an estrogen issue then I will address. But at least I tried.

    Question about supraphysiological dosages of testosterone

    In a January 2012 article, Dr. Mark Gordon discussed supraphysiological dosing: "Gordon explains that conventional medical dosage for testosterone is at 200-300 milligrams per week, which he has shown is far too high! "For example, a typical 25-35-year-old male naturally generates 4-10...

    First impression since starting TRT

    I started taking Leo/Livo thyroid meds, DHEA, Test-Cyp and HCG on Saturday. These are my first impressions: For the first time in a very long time, I have managed to go the whole day without taking a nap. My sleep is deeper and I am not waking up very much if at all in the middle of the night...

    Why Can't I Tolerate TRT From a Mental Standpoint?

    What you say is true, of course, however, I had serious head trauma (TBI) in the Army. I understand that most people who've had serious head trauma have hormonal imbalances due to inflammation in the head following trauma. I'll be the first one to admit that I'm extremely messed up as far as...

    Just took my first injections

    I took .05ml (10mg) of T-Cyp and 100 IU of HGC. It took me two tries to get the T-Cyp in the insulin syringe. The volume is so small I couldn't even feel it go in. I think that it might be a good idea to buy some .5ml insulin syringes. Easier to calibrate smaller dosages. I thought I would...

    any issue with DHEA from Empower?

    I just took my first ever DHEA capsule (25mg) from empower about 20 minutes ago. So far, so good.

    Changed plan slightly in coordination with provider.

    Agreed. I bought a 7-day pill box with Morning, Noon, Evening and Bedtime compartments for each day. 28 total compartments.

    Changed plan slightly in coordination with provider.

    The Anastrozole and Ipamorelin are on hold until after we see the first follow-up labs in May. So, basically, we have T, HCG, DHEA, and Thyroid. All based on labs. I've already been taking Metformin for 2 years. I requested the Gaba for anxiety relief. This is what my provider at Defy put me...

    Changed plan slightly in coordination with provider.

    If you've ever wondered if the information that you provide to newbies ever does any good, the answer is yes. Because of the information I read from the experienced members on this site, as well as several of Nelson's interviews with TRT doctors as well as published clinical studies, I had an...

    Is it normal to be nervous when starting?

    If I would have never had a blood clot before I wouldn't be nervous. Anyway, the box Empower is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Think I'll wait until Monday to start.

    Newbie starting TOT

    The box from Defy/Empower is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I think I'll wait until Monday to start. Might try the Gaba early though, to see if it helps with sleep

    Is it normal to be nervous when starting?

    Yes, I do. I have TBI and PTSD. Hopefully, if I optimize my hormones, that might result in a calmer, more focused emotional state.

    Is it normal to be nervous when starting?

    I'm waiting for my first shipment to arrive in a few days from Defy Medical. In the meantime, a box of 27g 1/2 inch needles arrived from adw diabetic. Today, I injected a B12 shot sub-Q to practice. I get B12 delivered to my house from the VA every month, but in the past, instead of...

    Newbie starting TOT

    When I was a young Infantry soldier, we used to have a saying directed at some of the other MOS branches that went "Everybody wants to be Infantry until its time to be Infantry." Fact is I'm scared to death to begin my injections. Guess its time to man up.

    Newbie starting TOT

    He prescribed NDT 0.5 grains (30mg) to address my Thyroid issues with the ability to titrate up to a maximum of 3 Grains (180 mg) I asked about Sermorelin and Ipamorelin and he advised me to wait until after my first labs before adjusting. I wish that I could afford Tesamorelin (Egrifta).
