If it wasn't for the collective thoughts from this community, I probably would have never gotten my testosterone / thyroid levels checked. I think the community offers an amazing resource that everyone should use in conjunction with a doctor. There are many terrible doctors out there, so knowing...

Yea but I think getting insight from the hundreds of posters here, many of which are extremely knowledgeable, is a valuable tool that everyone should use.

Thanks, the reason I came to the forum was to get a better sense of why my protocol isn't working. Also, the nurse has an expected wait time of several weeks, and I was hoping to get insight on my labs (from you and the rest of the community) before speaking with an actual practitioner.

Are you a patient with Defy? You can't "pick up the phone" and talk to Dr. Saya. You need to schedule a consultation with him, which often times takes several weeks if not months. Even talking to a registered nurse has an estimated wait time of several weeks at the moment. The reason I came to...

That's exactly why I was hesitant to decreasing down to 100mg a week.

Thank you so much for replying, Dr I'll decrease the testosterone to 56mg twice a week. Would you like me to change my thyroid protocol before our next consult as well?

NDT was taken at around 6:30 AM and the tests were done at around 5:30PM

Thanks! I'll try to get on the phone with someone from Defy tomorrow!

I don't feel bad on my current protocol - but the lab results have me a little worried (especially the e2 and the thyroid). I also want to stop any problems before they might arise. Do you think I should speak with Dr. Saya before making any changes to my protocol? It's frustrating waiting...

Thanks I'll definitely bring it up with Dr. Saya during my next consultation. I did, however, want to get as many opinions as possible. Its just really frustrating waiting months for my next consultation, and I want to handle any problems that might arise before they actually arise. Thanks for...

Okay, do you think dropping to 120 is better than 100? I'm worried my testosterone levels might drop too low by going down to 100.

I got these labs done 3-5 hours before I usually take my biweekly shots.

Thanks - I was always under the assumption that lab results > symptoms. Is that not the case? Also, what are your thoughts on possibly introducing an AI instead of decreasing the test? I think I already know the answer, but I'd love to get your thoughts!

Hey everyone, I've been a patient with Dr. Saya, at Defy Medical, for more than a year now, and we are still unable to figure out the appropriate protocol for me. I am currently taking 140mg testosterone along with 700 units of HCG a week split into two doses. I am also taking 180mg of Natural...

After changing my dosage, the symptoms have definitely gone down so I am not sure if it will be helpful to get a panel done. However, if you think it will be useful, I can definitely get the lab work done and sent to your office before starting the T3. Please let me know if you would like me to...
