Daily Injections of Testosterone

Had consult with Dr Calkins today. He is a knowledgeable and professional guy. I will be upping my dose to 50 mg 3 times a week, M W F plus HCG 300 mg and Anastrozole .125 on the same days. Hopefully hematocrit will stay within range and get more consistent libido and muscle gain.

8 week labs after starting TRT

So I was a low E guy, around 7 on sensitive test, pre TRT 506 total 12.1 free. Had some libido and ed issues with low E, so I had idea to try TRT to increase E. Doctor wrote script for 200 mg every 2 weeks. I knew that was a big no no and didnt want to argue with him so since I do lots of...

Low e2

DHEA did nothing for my E2 level and yes I am very lean. Next thing I'm starting to do is ground flaxseed.

Low e2

I'm 47 take daily Cialis 5mg, HIV meds, Vascepa prescription fish oil, Lisinopril. I'm 5'11 167 lbs . Monitor t levels because I was on Androgel but had high hematocrit and didn't like phlebotomy to make it go down. So to my surprise 2 years later post TRT I produce my own pretty well.

Low e2

Hi, I have a question regarding e2 levels. My total testosterone is 636 ng/dl and free 22.3 ng/dl. These levels are natural and I do not do TRT. Had been pretty moody and no morning wood for several months so I ordered Labcord sensitive e2 from discountedlabs.com.in early Sep. My level was 8.4...

first time trimix

I must be really sensitive to Trimix. Did .50 last October, which was a disaster that sent me to ER and got drained. Tried .04 last night and lasted 7-8 hrs, had to take 2 Sudafed and sniff lots of poppers. Dont really think it's for me and if I do again it will be .02. Great option though if ED...

High Free T

Vince I bought Solgar 500 mg flush and worked quickly up to 1000mg. I kinda like the flush. Any concerns with raising fasting blood sugar or liver function with that amount? I also found out my insurance will pay for Vascepa, which is EPA based fish oil that is supposed to be better than Lovaza.

High Free T

Thanks Vince, my trig levels have went up since my ins stopped paying for generic Lovaza. Levels were between 230-250 then. Also fasting blood sugars are 93-99. What dose of niacin is good to add to fish oil? Also on 2.5 mg Lisinopril for borderline hbp, any link to ed with that drug? I think I...
