    Is it impossible to get 10ml vials anymore?

    My prescription is 0.5 ml per week. So I am supposed to draw 1 injection and throw away the remainder of the 1.0 ml vial. I have noticed that the full prescription period assumes I use the entire vial so 5 vials are supposed to last 10 weeks instead of only 5. I believe their computer program...

    Issues with cypionate causing heart pounding

    First, I don't understand why you need Testosterone supplementation at 29 years old though there are medical reasons for this. Second, please do get a calcium scoring. I had no irregular heartbeats and my EKG looked good but I was not confident my heart was good. My dad passed away at 47 with...

    New medicine prescribed - anastrozole

    I have read recently that Resveratrol may lower Estradiol. Any one here tried that?

    New medicine prescribed - anastrozole

    Are there any studies showing that level is not abnormal for patients using TRT? The Anastrozole prescriber is an NP and will likely be reluctant to take my word for it. Right now, my insurance pays for the testosterone and lab tests except I do have a $2,700 deductible.

    New medicine prescribed - anastrozole

    I took only .5mg once last week instead of twice as prescribed. Its not very accurate anyway because this pill is not scored so it doesn't cut cleanly. As I understand it, my Estradiol at 46 is not really high anyway. My testosterone was 837 at the time of this test.

    New medicine prescribed - anastrozole

    I hope so. PSA doubled about 6 months ago to 0.16 so that raised concerns among the doctors but it did not increase with the blood tests last week.

    New medicine prescribed - anastrozole

    I can't argue with your presumption. She prescribed the medicine last week the day after my blood tests came back without talking to me. I saw her for the visit a couple hours ago but didn't know enough to ask her anything about the new medicine. I am on TRT. I was treated for prostate...

    New medicine prescribed - anastrozole

    Doctor said Estradiol was high and taking 1/2 dose twice a week should lower it. When I looked up my Estradiol number, it is a little high on some sources and within range on other sources. The pharmacist recommended taking it at night before I go to bed to lessen any adverse side-effects I may...

    Dht lowering medications

    You can get an MRI if you are willing to pay for it. No health insurance company is going to cover the cost just to satsify your curiosity since the doctor does not see a medical reason. A PSA of 2.5 is good.

    When does natural production return when stopping TRT?

    I never took hCG but my testosterone did not come back after over 6 months so I restarted TRT.

    B12: Which One Is Right For Me

    I take sublingual B12 in the form cyanocobalamin but my blood tests do not include B12.

    Dhea supplements and hypertension or

    My hormone doctor recommended DHEA and said to take it at night. I wonder when others take it.

    When does natural production return when stopping TRT?

    I have read a lot of warnings about ashwagandha interfering with many medicines. I take medicine for blood pressure and thyroid and 2 doctors warned me to never take that supplement. I had not taken it but told them I do take some supplements. That is the only one they were concerned about.

    When does natural production return when stopping TRT?

    What does T = 20 feel like? Awful. No energy, no sex drive, no erections, lack of focus, every tendon & ligament in my body ached, muscle turned to fat, couldn't sleep more than 2 hours, blood triglycerides tripled, depression, etc. Many days I had all the aches and pains like when you have...

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
