Splitting it is fine. BTW, that is a lot. If you indeed can't get it from diet, injections are a better bet, but I would continue to get tested, and watch RBC numbers including RBC count, hemoglobin and Hematocrit. My own anecdote may not apply one bit to you, but I started injecting B-12...

1- You experienced the "honeymoon period". Sex 6 times a day? OK superman, not going to sustain that. Don't chase your tail. 2- Raising your dose to 200 chasing erections is chasing your tail, and as you found out doesn't work. Taking too much testosterone commonly results in libido and...

Very glad it is useful to you! I agree, This forum collectively is probably the premier place as a clearing house of information for actual TRT, not TOT for supraphysiological use or AAS for bodybuilding/sports. So many things can cause fatigue, in addition to iron/ferritin, hypothyroid...

All the HCG from reliableRx is urinary. They are indeed a "real pharmacy" though what that means in terms of rules and regulations, and exporting is different than other countries. The HCG is made by big pharm producers primarily in India. If you look these up, you will find they are legit...

The middle of the road is generally a good starting point. So what is that mid point? That involves choices in terms of delivery method, the testosterone reparation/product, dosage schedules, dose itself (the amount), and in the case of injections whether to go IntraMuscular IM, or Sub Cutaneous...

Aw man! Don't give up on your other options! I'll write a comprehensive overview shortly. I don't think you need to get lost in the choices, but it is important to realize that it can take some trial and error, and that can be a long term process. Having the knowledge basis to understand these...

My first fullfillment for HCG was from a domestic pharmacy. I scanned the label on the box which had my name, the substance and dosage and attached that scan for reliable. I did this once 5 years ago, and have not had to resubmit.

Three pieces of gear when you only need one: Insulin syringes, one needle fixed to syringe. choose volume to cover your dose, and needle size to your comfort. I use 5/16" 30g 0.3ml syringe for tiny daily shots. No more effort than making a cup of coffee. It is the easiest routine for me...

Seriously? 462mg/ week? Surprised your lab results are so low. There's a simple answer. Reasonable starting dose: 100mg/week.

Sorry to confuse the issue. The humor was tongue and cheek. 28, 29 or 30mg EOD is close enough to 100/week. Either is just fine. I personally don't like a MWF schedule, the 2 day/3day interval difference is uneven enough that I get side effects from any 3 day interval. But many guys do fine on...

As you wish. A man who wants MORE! LOL! Remember, more is not necessarily better, but a few mg either side of 100 is pretty inconsequential. If you have been on 100mg already at less frequent dosing, the result of increased frequency is to raise your trough, so you do not have swings as low...

Don't think of it as alternate weekly doses, think of the average. On EOD, the weekly average is 3.5 doses. The closest whole mg figure is 29mg/dose 30*3.5=105 29*3.5= 101.5 28*3.5= 98

Hey sorry, I misinterpreted. That's great that you are pursuing it as you are. I am truly glad to hear that. They are not cheap shots. I perceived something wrongly, but be assured that my intention is for you to get the care you need, not attack you as such. My post comes of caring for your...

In My Opinion: Dancing around the issue with HCT at 61 and 59=DANGER. That is really high. The longer you procrastinate, the more likely an unwanted event. It is likely if the figure dropped in a short time, that you were dehydrated... so that also means you need to work on continual...

Read that article. This is not an iron is iron is iron subject. The method is all about raising FERRITIN. FERRITIN is about stored iron, which is depleted via phlebotomy. Ferritin is not the form used for erythrocytosis. Serum iron is about what is available for use in erythropoesis.

You have already posted the right answer to your query. Without further explanation, I have to question "those have been dealt with". With low ferritin you are in a bad place to manage the hematocrit problem...

I don't think my case is a great example for YOUR needs, but in my mind, it does relate to "this situation". 160mg of testosterone is more than I have ever taken. I was started on 150mg/week, dosed E3D for starters. This sent my HGB/HCT high along with E2. My testosterone and free testosterone...

I did not miss that your one doctor wants you on 100mg every two weeks. I have not followed your every twist and turn though. It has not been the clearest progression of events. Good move consulting with Defy. I don't know why you don't just transfer care to them. I know that it is desirable to...

This is a very stupid approach. Why are you doing this? You have already received the message that your doc is out to lunch and you should seek better care. I think you've already heard it, but dosing every 2 weeks is just utterly stupid. Your T blood level will go very high, then decrease to a...

This sounds a little suspicious. Who is filling and labeling your syringes, and from what pharmaceutical source? I think you would be better off drawing yourself from an bona fide identifiable pharmaceutical vial.

NOT SO! This is VERY BAD ADVICE for MANY men on testosterone! Some men benefit from phlebotomy. Many DO NOT because of ferritin depletion through loss of blood! Read this forum. New members show up here ALL THE TIME reporting they crashed their ferritin and ask what to do about it. It is one...

You did not mention high hematocrit, but it is implied by high BP on such a huge dose of T. Echo @readalot . 200mg/week is typically not sustainable for this very reason plus other side effects. A more reasonable starting dose for TRT is more like 100mg/week, but quite a few of us do well on...

Typical injection IM injection sites are Deltoid, Quadriceps and glutes. NOT BICEP. Most guys inject HCG SubQ. Nelson has recommended AGAINST using bicep. : Biceps injection He has demonstrated Deltoid.

You can prove an awful lot in a petri dish that doesn't pan out in vivo. A concern, yes, but I am not going to worry over this one... yet.

I have a different leukemia brother, commiserations and virtual support to you! I've been on testosterone the whole time. Doctor's general knowledge/understanding of testosterone/TRT is dismal. The ONLY doctor I have that does is Dr Saya at Defy Medical. My other doctors: 2 lymph hem/onc...

What? Pregnyl, Puretrig, Ovidac, Corion, Fertigyn, Novarel, compounded etc are all urinary derived. I hope this cancer story isn't true...

I don't understand why you are so concerned over your HGB/HCT. They look just fine. Were they above range before you dropped dose? It takes a very long time for then to lower based on natural attrition of RBCs.

I used some cannabis years ago when I was anxious from PTSD. High ***,/low THC strains had a calming effect. THC (and sativa strains) made me terribly anxious, hyper, racy, paranoid and panic.

Thanks for you post. Please do correct me on such things. I apologize that I conflated sleep issues directly with inflammation. I was referring to results of sleep apnea, and inflammation related to hypoxia. Probably not IL-6 related without other causative contributors? How about we toss the...

I am not suggesting sleep issues as a diagnosis in your case, only in reference to there being a huge range of things that could influence inflammation which in turn could influence your ferritin level. I am not going to go near your particular specifics here, I am not qualified or knowledgeable...

Ferritin lab results do not solely show stored iron level. Ferritin is also a phase reactant that responds to levels of inflammation. It can be wildy inaccurate. When I had a severe reaction to an infused cancer drug, my ferritin increased to 2000 for a short period, then resolved right back to...
