    Nandrolone (Deca Durabolin): Effect on Lab Tests

    Does this hold true if one was to substitute some Test with Nandrolone? If I'm currently using 150mg Test C over a week and went to 100mg and 50mg of Nando?

    Coronavirus Infection Rate Prediction (UK): 50% of Cases to Happen Over a 3 Week Period and 90% Over 9 Weeks

    Mercola is a huckster and a fraud. Buy what ever you like, however, please know he is not in any way a credible source. And there is no science to support the article posted. It was written as click bait to sell crap. Here are some facts- -COVID is a lipid based virus, it is very susceptible...

    Adding some nandrolone to TRT?

    Current protocol is 50mg TestC TIW 250IU HCG TIW 0.125 Up to twice weekly if feeling E2 symptoms. I have the same thoughts about a blend but of Defy offers it, it made me reconsider.

    Adding some nandrolone to TRT?

    Hi all- I’m a Defy patient that had stopped TRT for a few months due to international travel and is restarting. I was pretty dialed in but had one side effect that I just couldn’t manage before. Acne mostly on my legs that was bad enough to cause some scaring. Penile sensitivity could was a...

    Blood donation for men who have sex with men?

    I work in organ and tissue transplant and am very familiar with this. It’s 12mo and only applies to men with men or women that have sex with men who had sex with men. M2M anal sex is still the riskiest in terms of virus transmission and there is a window of around 7 days in which blood may...

    Defy Medical Testosterone Pellets

    Thanks for your experience. I’ve never considered pellets mostly due to the consensus I’ve seen here. But I’ve been very happy with Defy and if they were offering them I was a little more curious. Thanks again.

    Defy Medical Testosterone Pellets

    Hi all, I am a Defy patient and am using a standard protocol of T cyp HCG and a mild AI. Because if some long term international travel I missed my refill and have paused my therapy. I am restarting treatment but now am a Fl resident living in Jacksonville. That makes in office care easier...

    Daily Test and HCG lab update, and Thyroid

    A agree. It had helped the T/E ratio. I'm very worried about dropping my E2 so I think I'm going to ask Defy about bumping to 24mg daily with no other changes and evaluate my Armidex in 2 months. Main side effects I'm having now are body acne which is a better after going daily and water...

    Daily Test and HCG lab update, and Thyroid

    Yes. I've been slowly titrating up my NDT with my Dr, I'm lucky I have a very primary responsive doc that listens to me. Also taking daily Selinuim and I've seen my antibodies drop with that.

    Hi all, I wanted to share my experience with changing to daily injections. Background, Ive been on TRT for about a year. Im a Defy patient and like most am very happy. We first tried Clomid, failed, and then went on test. My protocol was: 80mg Test, 400 Units HCG and 0.25mg arimidex all...

    Daily Injections- what about HCG?

    So I'm considering switching to daily injections due to a very low SHBG and rising E2. I currently dray my HCG and Test together and inject every 3.5 days. For those that inject daily what do you do with your HCG? Daily as well? Also what syringes are you using. I'm using 27G Easy Touch...

    7 Week labs TRT: Total T Low and Thyroid Issues

    Thanks Vince. CoastWatcher- these were noted when i started with my Clomid restart. We are thinking it's Lilley Hashimoto. We started on the selenium and NDT. The NDT was started at 1/2 grain and increased to 1 grain. I think I need to go up again. I'm trying to get a Thyroid US lined up for...

    Heart issues 10 years in (Left Ventricle Hypertrophy)

    Everything he said. While I wouldn't freak out Ithis shouldn't be minimized either. Seek out a good cardiologist for a work up. They will likely do a stress echo where they look at how your heart works under strain. Depending on those results a cath would be the next assessment. I do wonder...

    Advice for daily Tadalafil

    That's a really good idea (samples). But prices are up. A 20mg is $10 from empower through Defy. I like the idea of 20mg troches cut into 1/4th for daily use. I was a little worried about traveling and if they will be ok out of the fridge for a few days at a time.

    Advice for daily Tadalafil

    Id like to start daily tadalafil at least until my TRT I dialed in. I will be using compounded Meds. My thought was to start with 1/2 of a 7mg tablet daily. And then if needed moving up to a full tab. What are your thoughts? Do you guys prefer tabs or Troches? I could do a 20mg troche cut...

    High Anion Gap and Low Serum Chloride

    Co is also very possible and 23 would be a reasonable Co number. Thanks for the words. I've had an interesting career and a variety of places to learn. My education is in nuclear engineering so chemistry in general is pretty comfortable. I left that to work as an EMT went back to college to...

    High Anion Gap and Low Serum Chloride

    It's amazing what lab errors can be made. Cl closley follows Na. This is because the main source of Cl in the body is from disassociated NaCl molecules. The main cause of low Cl and Na is hemodilution. Some root causes of that are Ingestion of a deadly amount of water, (I had a patient for of...

    High Anion Gap and Low Serum Chloride

    Is it possible you are reading the wrong line? Might it be your BUN you are looking at. That is often reported around the Cl and 23 would be a normal BUN.

    High Anion Gap and Low Serum Chloride

    You are exactly correct. One cannot live with a Cl of 23. All of your cells would lyse. That is either a incorrect test or you are misreading it. Post your chem panel and I'd be happy to analyze it for you. I read them for my patients daily.

    Peptide Tadalafil use and dosage

    Just some quick Med Math. 30mg/ml. If your dose is 5 mg, devide 5mg/30mg/ml=0.17ml. Use a 1cc oral syringe and fill just a little more than 1/2 was between the 0.1 and 0.2 marks.

    Anastrozole Increased Fatty Deposits in the Aorta of Mice

    This is interesting but the doses really had me shaking my head. They used a 12.5mg T pellet and 10mg/kg/day Anastrazole. If we assume a 0.5kg mouse and standardize that to a 100kg male we are looking at 200mg Test weekly and 1000 mg Anastrazole daily.

    It definitely can. And IM can be fine at any angle too depending on your fat mass and needle length. My description is based on accepted clinical techniques as a licensed paramedic and college instructor. In reality your angle doesn't have to be precise. These techniques are they to provide the...
