Thinking about coming off TRT and trying Enclomiphene. What did they charge you for the treatment and did you have to get lab bloodwork?

I've been on trt for a little over a year. I asked my current doctor about adding nandrolone to my current protocol for joint pain and other benefits. He stated he's not willing to do it as there's no need for it. I've heard other people on the forum talk about getting it prescribed and was...

I'm not sure what my current numbers are but they usually stay around 50 to 52. Donating helps but I'm trying to find another way to keep them in check. So more frequent injections have proven to keep them lower? Obviously if Deca is the same or worse, it's a no go for me.

You guys inject subq or IM? I'm injecting twice a week now and combining test and HCG together and going IM.

Not sure how I can do daily injections at my low dose of 60 to 80 mg's a week. Seems like I would loose more than I would get. I could try though. Maybe 3x a week injections instead of 2x

I've been on TRT replacement for a year and I've been plagued by it raising my Hematocrit levels. I'm wondering if Deca has the same effect on HCT as testosterone. I know it's not used for trt but I'm just looking for people with experience using it. Wonder if it can be used with hcg to keep...

My script is up for renewal for my testosterone. I can get it filled from the compounding pharmacy they use for $75 or they will give me a script to use at my local pharmacy for $20. What does testosterone cost to purchase at a local Pharmacy? I'm pretty sure my insurance might cover some of...

Well not necessarily. He was just much faster at rectifying the situation. Lets just say so for Dr Crisler is much better for me and I was a Defy patient.

I started TRT with Defy back in January. I just had my first blood work done less than a month ago and my HCT, RBC and Hemo came back high. Defy immediately took me off TRT and wouldn't renew my script. Honestly, I wasn't happy and didn't think it was the right thing to do since I was just...

Never heard that HCG could cause this. I hope it doesn't as I'm now taking 500 IU 3 times per week versus 350 IU twice per week. I would think Defy and the other TRT clinics would know if HCG would raise your levels.

Buggies, did your doctor take you off TRT or did you want to come off?

More bad news, called the red cross and they said they don't do a Therapeutic phlebotomy in my region. Closest place they do is a few hours away. Also, informed me if you need a therapeutic phlebotomy, you are no longer eligible to donate blood. Guess it's best to tell them you don't need it...

I'm off of the B12. Last time I gave blood it knocked down my HCT 4.1 points. That still won't get me where I need to be unfortunately to get back on TRT. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. Testosterone obviously raises my HCT a lot.

My HCT was at 52.7 before I back in the end of November after being off TRT for some time. My level went down to 48.6 after giving blood, waiting two weeks and retesting on 1/18. My rbc, Hemo were also elevated. I live in the a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, so we have an elaborate hospital...

So Defy got my bloodwork back on Friday and pulled me off TRT because my levels were high. I've been on .35 cc of Test Cypionate and 350 IU of hcg twice a week for 14 weeks. I'm really starting to feel good and was looking forward to staying on TRT for a long time. I'm actually kind of bummed...
