    AI or not?

    For what it worth I take it and I feel better with that exact dose. I’m a low shbg guy and feel better with lower E2. Without AI I don’t feel good evwb with EOD injections.

    Defy Medical Physical?

    CVS minute clinic worked for me. Defy sent me a plain physical exam form with no mention of Defy. I told the lady I needed it for jiu jitsu but I suggest just saying karate or tae Kwon do. She did not know what jiu jitsu was and said oh no, we can’t do MMA. I had to explain. Thankfully I...

    maximum age: Can you be too old to continue with TRT

    This is very interesting to me. My father who is close to being 80 seems to have all symptoms of low T that I would assume I inherited from him (I'm 50 and diagnosed with 168 total t). He is on Kaiser plan so they are not proactive. He is constantly complaining about joint pains and...

    Stopped TRT 2 Weeks Ago, Feeling Better Now? Was it High E?

    50yo here and a year and a half on Trt. I cut the HCG and AI and seem to have gotten rid of the anxiety, especially at night and am sleeping better. I think HCG might be the culprit.

    TRT without AI

    For what it's worth, I was on .22 of test cyp, 230 iu HCG and .20 of Anastrozole MWF. Due to circumstances I ran out of meds in December and stopped cold turkey for about 5 weeks. I restarted with my protocol but then 2 weeks in I ran out of Anastrozole. I stopped the HCG completely and now 3...

    Defy/Empower Wait Time?

    Just to chime in. I’m was the one that started that last tread that was closed by the mods. Here is my follow up to anyone interested. Defy office contacted me personally and apologized for the delay and even compensated me for my troubles. My meds finally arrived on Monday at noon. Defy was...

    Delays with Defy refill process

    I am not familiar in shipping lingo. How is one to assume overnight = next day = next business day? It would be less confusing if worded 'next business day' for the laymen as mysef.

    Delays with Defy refill process

    Well from my experience overnight, next day etc means just that. I understand not on Sunday but Saturday? I get deliveries from Fed Ex on Saturday's and I get deleiveries on Sunday from USPS. I would've gladly paid more for a Saturday delivery but I expected the refill to be fulfilled by...

    Delays with Defy refill process

    Yes, I pay $30.00 for overnight shipping. BUT, if is ships on a Friday it will not get delivered until Monday. That is not overnight shipping. They gave me a credit the fist time this happened when it took 2 weeks.

    Delays with Defy refill process

    Thanks for your insight Vince. I actually do not like complaining but sometimes it is warranted. In general their service is great as I have referred many patients to them. But I think that we as a customer should have some input too as to where they can improve. I guess it's just due to their...

    Delays with Defy refill process

    At the moment yes due to life and financial circumstances I couldn't refill until 1 week When I was out. But that is my problem and only blame myself. My gripe is in the false advertisement of refills taking 2-3 business days to be fulfilled when in actuality it takes a week or more. I'm not the...

    Delays with Defy refill process

    So how long does that take now, a month? Lol.

    Delays with Defy refill process

    Sorry but I have to vent. As much as Defy gets praised they should also be criticized on their shortcomings. This is the third time I order refills and have to wait more than a week for delivery despite me paying overnight shipping. Their email clearly says to wait 24-72 hours for pharmacy to...
