    Ran out of wife's testosterone-can she use mine?

    I messed up and realized my wife's testosterone bottle is nearly empty. Defy takes about 2 weeks to get an order to me. I called and asked if I can give her an equivelent dose of mine since I have plenty. Both are cypionate but her concentration is 50 mg/ml and mine is 200 mg/ml. Defy says they...

    Injection frequency & effects on other issues

    Cypionate 200 mg/ml – 0.25 ml SQ twice weekly. How long does it take you to draw up and give a testosterone dose with a 31 gauge needle?! Like 15 minutes? :p

    Injection frequency & effects on other issues

    Wow daily! A lot syringes to buy! It the theory is right, maybe I'll start doing three per week and see what happens. Thanks.

    Injection frequency & effects on other issues

    I currently do injections 2x per week. I'm with Defy Medical. My H&H always gets high and I have to donate blood. I also don't sleep well. I've heard from here and other places that increasing the frequency of injections (some say every day) that the H&H doesn't increase, at least not as much. A...

    TRT and sleep issues

    I get my share of red meat! I do take magnesium but there are different types. I take magnesium taurate. I take vitamin D regularly and get a lot of sun. That has been checked before and it is always very good.

    TRT and sleep issues

    Been doing TRT for about 7 years now. It seems like my sleep quality has always been poor. Never feel totally relaxed or sleep through the night. It's always sort of a fitful sleep. I'd never thought to attribute it to the testosterone until my wife recently started on a low dose herself, along...

    Grape seed oil in testosterone

    I have heart disease issues, have had a heart attack and stents. Inflammation is one is the primary root causes of this. Seed oils are high in Omega 6 and highly inflammatory. My testosterone is mixed in grape seed oil. I avoid all vegetable oils and things like Canola oil, but I am wondering if...

    Is HCG still available?

    Strange payment options. The only option available for me was direct from my checking account. Not sure I'm comfortable with that. Are they in the US?

    Is HCG still available?

    I go through Defy Medical for my TRT and used HCG with it for a long time. Is it just no longer available? They switched me to Pregnyl which is $260 for a little bottle. This is becoming unaffordable. Are there alternatives and is there any way to get HCG? Thanks, Paul

    Off antidepressant- question re anastrozole

    Through Defy Medical, I take testosterone injections twice per week. I also take anastrozole twice per week which ends up working for me. Recently, I ran out of my antidepressant citalopram (Celexa) before I realized it. I had been wanting to try and get off it any way, so I didn’t refill it...

    The benefits of long term use of Cialis

    I was prescribed 25 mg tadalafil by Defy to cut into quarters for daily use. It says to dissolve it under your tongue. I thought doing that was normally done to enter your system quicker, which isn't necessary here. Is it ok to just swallow it whole?

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.
