It may be true that 5 units is likely the minimum that will work for most people, but not all. When I first started Trimix, 3 units would keep me hard for about 4 hours. That was almost 15 years ago. Now I use 13 units for about 2 to 3 hours.

I think your mixture is a little less concentrated than the standard mixture. Anyway, the dose you are taking is not enough for you. Try 25 units next and then 30 units.

Something I don't understand here. I just pulled out my last lab results from Quest Labs. Quest states that the Reference Range for Free Testosterone is 30.0 - 135.0 pg/mL. What am I missing?

My insurance company (Blue Cross) will pay for testosterone only as long as my T stays below 800. They also pay for labs 100% and doctor visits (although the visits are labeled as general and not specifically for TRT.) My doctor wants my T levels to stay within the normal range. Quest labs...

My experience is not consistent with the study conclusion. I started TRT at age 70 and had been working out regularly for many years. Within a month or 2 after starting TRT, I could lift roughly 25% more on all my exercises. I am also an avid bike rider. After starting TRT my biking speed...

If you are feeling OK, then don't go on TRT. TRT means injections for life and having to be carefully monitored to minimize side effects. That said, I am on TRT and i love it. But I started at 70 and am now 75. For me, injecting for life is not not as long a time. And loss of fertility is...

5 years on TRT. About 100 mg every 4 or 5 days. (I'm not very strict on being consistent.) That gives me fairly high T levels - about 1000 just before next injection. Never HCG. Tried a little arimidex a few years ago, but it didn't seem to have any impact. Results are terrific. I am 75...

I have used trimix frozen for longer than a year with no loss of potency.

The VA disappoints once more.

Your course of action should be based on your symptoms. Your total T is borderline low, but many men do just fine with the same T as you. By itself, that is not enough to justify TRT. However, your free T and is quite low, and is probably the more important number. The problem with TRT is...

I had a high PSA (5) after sex the night before. Since then it has always been back to my normal range (about 2).

In my experience, I cannot reliably adjust how long my erection will last by adjusting my dosage. My normal dosage usually results in a hard erection for 1 to 2 hours. One hour sounds like a long time, but sometimes I do not know exactly when sexual activity will really start, so the 1-hour...

That's incredible. The ranges from the two labs are totally incompatible. They are clearly not measuring the same thing. However, your free T moved from the bottom of the range before TRT to the top of the range with TRT. From what I have read, free T is really more important than total T...

My doctor recommended TRT to treat osteoporosis that was not getting better using fosamax (age 75 now). It worked. I no longer have osteoporosis. However, there were side effects - larger muscles, more strength, less fat, and more thoughts about sex. But I can live with the side effects.

For me pantoprozole has been I miracle drug. I started it 2 years ago after suffering from heartburn for 55 years. The heartburn would wake me up several times a night. Tagamet, prilosec, nexium, tums etc. were not effective in stopping it. With pantoprozole my heartburn is gone. I was able...
