    How to proceed?

    I do the same as Vince, I am in Virginia and am happy with the care I get and their overall service. Likely your insurance will not reimburse, so typically out of pocket, but well worth it and not hateful expensive.

    Lipid panel questions

    No I did not. In fact I did an echo/stress/echo just 8 months prior to get a baseline as I knew of the family history. They had to get me running at 7mph at 15% incline to get my heart rate up to max. The test results came back with no issues! So no high labs and a previous echo showed no...

    Lipid panel questions

    sh1973, I concur with Vince, Get your calcium test done and evaluate from there. A year ago I had a heart attack while training for the murph workout. I am in good shape, I did/do not eat bad and workout regularly. I was cruising along at 7mph on tread mill when I begin to feel the effects...

    Where to start?

    Correct, try a local dr if you like, hopefully you will find one that understands the issues.

    Where to start?

    Well the problem is a large percentage of Dr know little of testosterone therapy. Some right out disagree, but most think they know, but really do not. If you have a good one locally that is awesome. Defy is focused on men’s health issues.

    Anyone take dhea before bed for better sleep?

    It did not help me when I tried it, I could not tell a difference.

    Where to start?

    In my opinion, getting blood work without medical input at this point may not be the best thing you can do. You can go to discountedlabs.com and order labs and have them sent to you directly without having to go to Dr. But you have some issue of some sort. I most do not know of any home test...

    TRT and anxiety

    At 52 years old I experienced an anxiety attack, something I had never even come close to before. Doc checked my T and I was 240ish. Started TRT and solved the problem. I have has a couple bouts with anxiety since, but it was when my E2 got close to 30.

    Anyone been on 250 IU HCG with TC and not needed an AI?

    I am at 500iu of hcg twice a week. 12 mg test cyp daily. My free t stays around 20 with total 600-650 and E2 mid 20. Seems to work for me

    COVID-19 - Anyone stopping TRT as a precaution?

    Not at all, not sure I see the connection. Are you seeing something I am not.

    Have you personally been affected by the novel coronavirus?

    I am a landscape architect in VA, so we are still up amd running and have a good start to spring. I have had good sales so far, but not a single appointment scheduled this week. I am sure folks will hold off having guys like me come to their house. As well as folks not wanting to spend money...

    Subcutaneous injections causing lipid problems

    sub q daily here, no difference in labs or effect. In fact HCT actually went down a bit, likely due to low dose daily versus larger dose with less frequency

    lowered dose feel like crap a wk later

    Not sure of all of your other blood work. But I can say, I move slowly in adjusting protocol. You took a small dosage reduction, so I would let it go a couple weeks to see how my body adjusted. It is a journey for sure

    Thinking of switching from thigh to shoulder injections, a couple questions

    Length you mentioned should be fine unless you have heavy layer of fat. I ise easy touch 1/2” by 29 ga. I inject .12 mg so .07 ml. Tales about 30 seconds to draw up. I do not aspirate at all

    What is going on? I stopped my TRT.

    I will also express the low and slow sentiment. I also never add any more than one drug or protocol change at a time. Too many thing scan alter other things. This is a journey

    High red blood cells.

    Well I do not think I would donate once a month, you iron/ferritin will crash pretty quickly and I hear that is a pretty rotten feeling for awhile. I keep my hct at 52-54 and am fine with that, all other blood values are mid range. I would donate at your point. It is true that Red Cross or...

    IM vs. SubQ

    I use 29a 1/2 needle and inject daily. I have a weekly rotation of body parts, some are belly fat and some are butt muscle. I can not tell a difference.

    Trouble with libido lately

    Man I hear you. Some guys seem to find a protocol that works forever and rarely have to change. Then there are others like myself, that nothing seems to remain the same for long periods of time. I am an everyday guy as well. My numbers seem to stay 650-750 for total and low 20s for FT and mid...

    What is a better starting dose 150 or 200mg?

    I 100% agree with Madman, low and slow is best with any meds.

    Cheapest way to get labs?

    You will have to have a prescription for TRT anyway, so it is not just getting labs and foxing yourself. Defy medical labs are pretty inexpensive but you will have dr fee. Sorry mate, no dirt cheap way to be in the game

    Big drop in Total Testosterone

    I agree with above, you need to test at same time after dosage every time to have any apples to apple comparison. I do not go to the gyn on blood draw mornings or have sex night before. Keep it consistent. Even then I can see numbers from 600 to 700 or greater.

    Best time to inject Test - Evening?

    I certainly could see this, very valid point. I started with the 200mg shot every 2 weeks years ago. Every sunday night. I never sleep well on Sundays, ramping up for work week I guess, so I can not really tell if the T added to that or not.

    High Hematocrit and sexual function

    I take daily tadalafil at 2.5 mg i add a 50 mg viagra prior to go time and this works for me. But even on a weekday if I have had a 12 hour work day it may be touch and go. Lots of things in our minds, like bad work day, can distract. Not always just a pill solution unfortunately
