Yeah... that's the strange thing, no one can seem to confirm. Which, to be honest, I really don't care, but if this is a short-term solution I'd rather find an alternative or just accept life without it. Only challenge is there doesn't seem to be a good alternative and I feel better with it.

Hello all, Does Empower have the correct license to compound hcg under the new FDA laws? The pharmacy my doc uses can't compound it any longer, and commercial grade hcg is backordered until Feb. 2021 in my area. My doc said if I can find a pharmacy that can legally compound it, he'll send my...

Are you still doing daily injections? I saw in another thread that you mentioned thinking that most people don't need daily (or even EOD) protocols and than 1 or 2x/week is fine for most... I was surprised by that because I was under the impression daily injections was a big difference for you.

I'm thinking this is going to be the best - and most cost-effective - approach for me as well.

I'm not sure what % it is -- I know it's 200mg/ml -- and I'm doing 350mg per day (split into a.m. and p.m. doses) straight to the scrotum -- and yes, it IS a boatload of cream. It's currently running my $110/month just for the cream. I've heard talk here and there of a percentage of people who...

That's what I was interested in hearing (how you felt at same T levels on cream vs. injections), because I have been the same way -- same T levels, but feel much worse on cream than I did on injections at those same levels.

I checked E for myself (even though my doc said it was unnecessary and does not prescribe AI's) and the sensitive E2 was 30. I actually have felt best at an E of 60-70 while on injections... and have not felt good (similar issues to described above) while E is below 40... so perhaps I have an...

Curious... while having those issues with Cream, did you get labs done? The weirdest part for me is that T values on Cream and T values on injections that were virtually identical had me feeling MUCH different... which causes me to question whether it was something specifically about the cream...

The main reason I'm suspect of the cream is that the docs who are the biggest proponents of it seem to think it's the "only way"... that is a red flag for me, because it overlooks the uniqueness of each individual. The main reason I switched from injections is that I don't want to do daily...

I apply 4 clicks in the am (200 mg) and 3 clicks in the pm (150mg) to a clean, dry, shaven scrotum. Overall, libido about the same as when I felt good on injections.

I've been on a number of TRT protocols over the past 3 years. Injections most of the time. However, about 6-8 months ago, I got caught up in the "cream craze" and decided to give it a shot. A few things I've noticed: 1. Even at almost identical T levels (free and total), I feel worse on cream...

I've been on trt for 15 months now. Overall, it's been a rollercoaster. A few questions for guys who have been on trt a few years or more: 1. Is feeling "great" the expectation, or is "okay" all some of us can hope for? At times, I've felt GREAT -- more confident than I've been in years, more...

I get what you're saying, I'm just confused why I'd suddenly be so responsive/sensitive to HCG after being on it in various dosages for the past 14 months.

Same test, same day. The only difference is I did take this most recent one at 3pm, rather than first thing in the a.m. Like I usually do. I have been told fasting isn't required for hormone testing and that it wouldn't have made the big of a difference... but is that right? It's just weird...

I've been on TRT for over a year now. Long story short: after starting at 160mg/week and eventually trying to find the "least effective dose", going all the way down to 100mg/week, 6 weeks ago when I met with Dr. Saya, we landed on 132mg/week (3.5 days). At the time, my protocol was this...
