I am not sure, but I just had a consultation with a nurse practitioner from Defy about a week ago. When trying to get my subscription, I saw a message saying that there was very high demand right now and the prescription might not be filled for a while (though I did just get an email today...

I had a consultation with Defy Medical, and they checked my SHBG. It was below 10, (9 something) and the nurse practitioner explained to me that the lower the number is, the more the body metabolizes the testosterone, thus it runs through my system more quickly. She said because I was below...

I completely hear you. When my Urology Clinic gave me 400 mg once every 3 weeks, I felt absolutely amazing for the first week and half. Then I began to crash. The following week and half was hellish. Now that I am more stable, and generally feel alright, it still seems like something is...

I know this has been discussed on the forum, but I wanted to relate to how much TRT has improved my anxiety for those who search and ask about this issue. For most of my life, I have had GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder). I take an anti-anxiety medication called Clonazepam and have been doing...

My hair started to thin after TRT, but I was prescribed finasteride. I have heard absolute horror stories about finasteride, and I did not decide to try it lightly. However, I am one of the few fortunate individuals with no side effects, and it stopped my hair from thinning. I have had...

Aye. It is ridiculous that doctors do this to men who need TRT. They place us on programs that shoot our T up to supraphysiological/bodybuilder ranges and then let us fall to near hypo-gonadal in the span of 2-3 weeks. It is sad to say that I learned more from Reddit/Youtube about my TRT...

The Trt side of my Urology clinic did the same thing with me by starting me at 400mg once per 3 weeks. The yo-yo side effects were atrocious. I got them to let me inject 100mg once a week at home, and have been doing well ever since. However, I am trying to optimize it now and will split to...

I had similar issues. I am 40, had test around 500 and Free Test of 6.2. For three years I endured low energy (it was an effort to get up out of a chair and I am skinny), low libido, difficult to put on muscle, depressed, and I had no motivation. My Primary Care Doctor thought my numbers were...

That is good to hear, actually. Since I am only 4-5 months into TRT, I think I need to give my body time to stabilize the hematocrit/rbc/etc. However, it is good to know that L-carnitine can help people and not cause blood issues!

Thanks. That confirms what I already read about it, so I will lay off of L-Carnitine.

Hello, all. I have been looking into L-Carnitine for the weight loss benefits and was just about to start using it when I saw a medical study on Healthline revealing potential Hematocrit increases. ( Effects of L-carnitine supplementation on renal anemia in poor responders to erythropoietin -...
