Been back-filling Easy-Touch insulin syringes for a year now. Just looked at the ones I have racked up (I do 7-8 at a time) and as I inject EOD some are 2wks old before I use them up. Don't see any swelling comparing a empty syringe.

I've been 'back-filling' syringes for my T shots as I like the virgin needle. I'm using the Easy-Touch 1/2cc 27ga 1/2" and they're pretty sharp but found them duller after poking the rubber septum. Yah I'm a sissy. I have a wooden block I've drilled with holes and go into mass production and...

Its been mentioned before but I've been back-filling insulin syringes. Made up a wooden block to hold the barrels and plungers. Neither is touched so maintains cleanliness IMO. Because there is a chance for seepage out of needle I fill each syringe and reassemble in order and park filling...

Just a sissy I guess as I have a mild phobia of needles and find the 'back-filled' needles much sharper compared to the HCG ones I fill the regular way. Just seems easier filling 2-weeks worth and having them waiting in a plastic-carrying case. My twin brother is bigtime scared of needles and...

I'm EOD and back-fill 27gax1/2" Easy-Touch syringes. Near painless and many thanks to the suggestion to try these syringes. Near painless sub-Q. I back-fill in a assembly line fashion as suggested here.

Before I started with Defy I decided to get serious with losing weight to maximize TRT. Went to intermittent fasting (20 and 4) and lost 20 pounds over next 3 months. Just use ACV thru morning to cut hunger pangs and have lunch 2-3pm. Dosing is just a tablespoon in a quart of water. Pretty...

I'll drop a line to Defy but at this time I'm just going with A.I. 2x a week and see if I notice any improvement of small symptoms I've noticed. Yes I understand the 'concern' most of the guys here on Excel Male have on A.I.'s. Much agree with Coastwatchers assessment of Christie and found her...

Consult went well, proactively me switching DHEA to EOD was what nurse Christie ordered. Going A.I. (anastrozole .125mg) 2x a week. I just can't see injecting T everyday at this time. Some symptoms of the the high estrogen but only one I've noticed is nocturnal wood less pronounced and nothing I...

I just did the same and plan on 2+week wait (depending on tests). Then IF no results contact LabCorp (you'll get a ticket and I never heard back from them) but that didn't help and got Defy to shake their tree. Worked for me. Bob

Yes on phlebotomy but I read on someone's post here that their doctor wouldn't honor a out-of-state script? I'll cover it during the consult and see if I run it by my Kaiser doctor. Dr. Calkins in initial consult commented that living at 1000'-elevation it might explain my initial 49.2 number...

Thanks. No issues yet as far as noticeable estrogen symptoms. Already went EOD and happy with that and not really looking forward to every-day. Been back-filling test syringes(27ga) and find it's nearly painless as far as puncture is concerned. Can't say the same for HCG and thinking about...

Hi: Posted on Blood Test Discussion page (https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?15109-90day-bloodwork-w-Defy-tweaks ) and posting here to get feedback on possible questions for the Defy nurse Christie June 29. My history prior to Defy I covered in a Intro posting...

Have to research why IGF-1 is high. Hopefully it's something simple like I've been intermittent (20/4) fasting last 4? months and lost 20-pounds. One effect of the fasting is that the IGF-1 is spiked longer each day? Didn't have IGF-1 tested with initial labs with Defy, then again don't think...

Thanks for reply. Yah getting old ain't for sissy's. Dr. Saya spoke to me about Anastrozol? at .125mg as being a possibility. Like the way Defy starts slow & low. No regrets working with professionals (DEFY) as my 3 months with a young doctor thru Obama Care (who was ok) made my present doctor...

Hi: Posted an intro (https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?13554-New-Guy-Intro ) 3months ago and just got 90-day blood workup and asking anyone to way in on suggestions for questions when I talk to NP Christie at Defy on the 29th. MEDS: 30mg test cyp every 2 days/500 iu HCG every 3.5...
