So in your case you inject 0.6 mL per injection. So draw up 0.53 mL. Pull back on the plunger after removing it from the vial to clear the 18g needle and the hub. You should now have 0.6mL in your syringe. Pull back on the plunger until you have 0.10mL of air in the syringe. Remove the 18g...

You are going to have what is called dead space using this type of system unless you purchase a low dead space syringe or use insulin needles. While the syringe does account for the dead space, and you are receiving your correct dose, as you have seen there is about .10mL being wasted. Even if...

1. For this it will depend on your body composition. I would always go all the way in with the needle either way. If your thin, you can pinch up some adipose and inject at a 45 degree angle. If you aren't thin, just go in at a 90 degree angle. None of this requires geometrical precision, so...

As Vince said, completely expected for someone on TRT. No need to waste your money on these two tests while on TRT.

Yes. Testosterone can raise BP via several mechanisms, but so can being sick, especially if you have an infection or a fever. I would let yourself get well, and then begin checking it regularly.

I would contact your Dr., and explain to him what happened. See what they say. Also, be careful with the type of syringes and needles you are using. Make sure they don't have a lot of dead space. One of the reasons why a lot of guys including myself use insulin syringes is because the needle...

The only thing I might consider is holding off on the AI until your next set of labs to see if you really need it. Certainly not necessary, just a suggestion. You're in good hands with Defy.

Just schedule a yearly wellness physical with your PCP, and request the records. If you have already had it this year, just request the records and send them to Defy. No need tell them why or anything like that. Everyone needs at least a yearly physical. Like people have said, it doesn't...

What was your trough T level when injecting once per week? With you lower SHBG, it is wise to switch to smaller, more frequent injections. But really, if you felt better injecting once per week, then switch back and see if you continue to feel better than twice per week. A good subjective...

I like Allegro Medical. I use the following product. https://www.allegromedical.com/syringes-c570/nipro-trueplus-insulin-syringe-with-needle-p574095.html

If I were you, I would be working with Defy Medical directly to get this resolved and not Hallandale. Let Defy contact the pharmacy.

I am a patient of Defy Medical. I would highly recommend them. Like you, I have a high deductible, so I pay 100% out of pocket for my TRT. Defy is very cost effective and gives top notch care.

I might also add that Defy Medical has a wonderful program for men who are generally overall happy with their doctor and current regimen, but have a hard time getting ancillary medications from him/her, e.g. hCG, anastrozole, etc. You might check them out if you do want hCG, and your doctor...

The SHBG will fall due to testosterone replacement. I don't think the very small amount of hCG used is going to do much to raise it any. Notice in the study below, people were taking 6000U of monotherapy hCG a week and, while the SHGB did go up in the "normal men" group, they were not taking...

I just wanted to post a quick review about how pleased I was with my consult with Nurse Jill at Defy Medical. I know a lot of guys can be nervous about discussing issues with someone of the opposite sex, but she is very knowledgeable, and you can tell she really cares of about men's health...
