And she initially started with the topicals but that became a pain, and its actually expensive compared to a vial of testosterone which last for a long time. Also with the creams it was harder to get dialed in. The injections give a much more stable and predictable level.

She injects (actually I do it for her) subQ in the belly fat with an insulin syringe. 1/2 inch .29 One thing you should know about Defy; they will try to persuade you to let them set up the blood draws through Lab Corp. This way you have to pay Defy the fee, I think its around $250.00 (I don't...

At her dosage there are no adverse effects other than acne.

Test Cyp 10mg weekly (5mg 2 X a week). Estradiol 2 clicks topi-click nightly. Sorry I don't know the strength. And Progesterone 50mg once a day. Her total T is around 140 so just a little over the reference range. Estradiol is in the normal range for a pre-menopausal female.

She's seeing one of the PA's. A male and his name slips me. But it really doesn't matter, they all follow the same protocols.

I was put on 50 mcg synthetic levothyroxine 5 months ago. It hasn't really helped and my new doc wants me to come off. Week 1 take half a pill and week 2 take half a pill every other day. I am worried about withdrawal. Anyone else on here successfully come off?

My wife is 65 and started HRT (E cream, progesterone pill and a T injections) 6 months ago with Defy. She is 1000% better and sex drive has returned. I highly recommend them.

Nice guide. I wonder why injectable testosterone is not on the list (only pellets and gels)

I pay 20.00 at a local NYC pharmacy

Pardon me for reviving an old thread, I have recently begun levothyroxine. I didn't know ferritin had an impact on thyroid. My ferritin is low (14) due to chronic blood donations. would that cause low T4/T4 and TSH?

So I finally got all my labs from the endo:) This is just before starting Levothyroxine in July: Cortisol AM: 9.8 ref range 4.0-22 SHBC 24 ref range 10-50 Prolactin 20.5 HIGH ref range 2-18 T4 Free 0.6 LOW ref range 0.8-1.8 TSH 1.3 ref range .40-4.5 T4 Calculated 1.1 LOW ref range 1.4-3.8...

I was wondering if anyone can recommend an Endocrinologist in the New York City area. Specifically to treat thyroid issues. Thank you

I have an appointment to go in tomorrow for the full thyroid labs. She feels the issue is not my thyroid, but the pituitary. Dr is insisting on an MRI of the pituitary because my prolactin is chronically elevated. Its a mild elevation of 10 points. Prior to starting the Levothyroxine My TSH and...

Thats reassuring regarding the Low TSH. Yesterday I googled Low TSH and everything pointed to A-fib and other heart problems. I am calling the endo to get the full panel. Frankly I am surprised, before starting levothyroxine my T4 was low, but not dramatically low. It only increased slightly on...

I understand Vince. I'm just posting what I have. My real concern here is that ultra-low TSH since starting the levothyroxine. I will get those tests done this week and find out if I can safely stop the levothyroxine

This recent test was done by my GP who doesn't do the other testing. My RT3 was normal back in June prior to starting levothyroxine. I am going to try to get into the endo this week for the complete workup. I regret starting the levothyroxine at this point. I crashed my TSH for only a slight...

Hey Guys. My T4 is always low, for years. And I am always tired. But MY TSH has always been normal. My prolactin is also also slightly elevated by about 6 points, for the past 10 years. I went to a new doc and she decided to try me on 50 mcg of daily levothyroxine. I just tested 8 weeks in, and...

I go to my local pharmacy here in New York and with GoodRX its only $19.95 for 30 pills.

My vision is also a little off on Cialis

I take my daily Cialis in the evening (sex is always in the evening) It would be more convenient to take in the morning. I was wondering if I took it in the morning would it not work as well 15 hours latter. I take the 2.5mg dose

My HDL is 28 since TRT. I am normally low, usually around 35. I tried everything

I am curious as to how many of you are on baby aspirin daily, and were there any noticeable side effects? I have asked my doctor about adding a baby aspirin to my diet and he didn't recommend it. I remember a few years ago almost every man over 50 was taking a daily aspirin.

More frequent injections lowered my Hct.

Wife has been on HRT for about 4 months now and I can definitely relate to what you said here about being stabbed in your sleep lol. This brings back memories of when she would get her period. I don't miss those days. I have a feeling its the estrogen that flips the bitch switch and not the T...

Total T results posted today: 960

I read somewhere on here that more frequent dosing requires less T to achieve same benefits. I thought I would cut back a bit and go up as needed. Based on the labs I don't think I need to increase. I feel better on this dosage then on the twice weekly.

A very small reduction, but I read here that more frequent dosing requires less to achieve same benefits. My numbers actually went up on this EOD protocol: Bio Avail T - 599 Free T 24 SHBG- 30 (increased from 24 last draw) I don't know what total T is, its not showing in the report. Perhaps due...

I swithed to SubQ EOD about 2 months ago. When I made the switch my HCT was 49.5 and I had just donated blood a couple weeks prior to that. I typically donate when my Hct gets around 55, which is usually every 4 months. I just got my new labs back, Hct dropped to 48! I am very happy to see that...

Went to an Endo on Wednesday, ran the full panel on thyroid (she was reluctant). I should have results Monday and will post here.

Over the past decade, my Free T4 ALWAYS comes in low. All other Thyroid numbers are within normal. On my most recent lab draw my Free T4 was 0.50 NG/dL, Normal is 0.78- 2.19 No doctor (all GPs) ever recommended medication and when I ask they all say no necessary. I have trouble loosing weight...

Just to update everyone, been on 2.5mg daily Cialis for almost a month and never felt better. all sides have disappeared and erections are 100%. Flaccid penis is bigger too. This is a lifesaver..
