    Syringe sizing

    I inject SubQ. I use insulin syringes. The needles are fixed, so there is less wasted area. But then you load and inject with the same needle. Some worry about dulling the needle, but I haven't had any issues. For my HCG, I use a 30 gauge, 1/2" syringe. For my T, it's 28 gauge, 1/2". These are...

    New TRT Protocol from Defy, Please Critique

    So, here are my latest labs. Free T is up and I feel "okay". Not great, but just okay. Extremely modest strength gains in the gym (if at all). But I gained body weight and a good amount seems to be on my stomach. I have been pretty achey too (lower back big time and hands). Thought the aches...

    Running out of T3 (compounded Liothyronine) for a few days

    Thanks for the suggestion! Just called them and they processed my request.

    Running out of T3 (compounded Liothyronine) for a few days

    I started TRT with Defy Medical about 5 weeks ago now. They put me on T3 as part of my protocol and I’ve titrated up to 15 mcg a day as directed. However, I didn’t realize that I am down to only like 3 days of T3 now. I’ve ordered a new prescription from Empower via express shipping that Defy...

    New TRT Protocol from Defy, Please Critique

    Thanks! Sounds like me exactly. Was so "up" for the first 2 weeks (placebo effect maybe) and not feeling so great now. Just have to be patient I guess.

    New TRT Protocol from Defy, Please Critique

    So, I am about 4 weeks in with my Defy protocol (after 3 weeks of that 200 mg every 14 days crap). Libido is better. But everything else doesn't feel much different or great. Gained a couple of pounds, mood is towards the depressive side as of late, no extra energy, physical recovery from...

    HCG Syringe amount for 400 iu from a 6,000 iu vial?

    Thanks! I was just overthinking this since it's all new to me. I should have just realized that the ratio of water to powder stays the same no matter the vial size/capacity.

    HCG Syringe amount for 400 iu from a 6,000 iu vial?

    Okay. Now I'm confused a bit after reading some. I was sent 2 x 6,000 iu vials of HCG from Empower (through Defy). I mixed one vial with 6 ml of the provided water which I believe is correct. I am supposed to inject 400 iu twice a week along with my T Cyp injection. I thought I just needed to...

    New TRT Protocol from Defy, Please Critique

    Thanks for the advice. I'll look into it since they did send me the luer locks. My prior doctor presribed me 23 gauge 1 inch for IM injections. They hurt a little afterwards. But smaller diameter (and SC) does sound better.

    New TRT Protocol from Defy, Please Critique

    Yeah, the lipid panel doesn't look great given that heart disease runs in my family (although I think that's mostly due to family members who smoked). Since my Defy appointment, been religiously taking the fish oil that was reccomended. And I don't think my diet is that bad, but I can do better...

    New TRT Protocol from Defy, Please Critique

    True. The labs are bit convoluted since I'm coming off the Clomid and in the middle of a 14-day injection interval from my prior doctor. Been hearing some criticisms of going on Anastrozole right away which I'm mostly concerned about.

    New TRT Protocol from Defy, Please Critique

    Hey all, Just joined the site. I’m 50 years old and was diagnosed with low T like 5 years ago. Currently, 5’8” and 215 pounds. I’m pretty muscular since I work out a bunch (lift, cycle, and run). But it seems no matter how much I work out and diet, I can’t lose my belly fat (or get rid of...

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
