Agree with Vince. Your body was probably just acclimating itself to the higher testosterone.

Need to see actual labs and need to know your TRT protocol.

Please post reference ranges from lab.

It states subq.

Hate to say it, but you are in for a tough ride and a sore butt with the pellets. Why not do the injections, which are much more effective and easier to adjust dosage-wise and just explain to your son that you aren't "doping" but merely bringing your T levels to where they should be in the...

Furthermore, the people who wait a week in between injections usually take one larger dose at the beginning of the week to hold them over till their next shot. You on the other hand will be taking multiple smaller doses throughout the week before your week off.

fmalianos, I think everyone gets what you are saying, but I can see no reason why this would provide any benefits. I can only see negatives with the dosing schedule you are proposing. Yes, you will still have testosterone in your system on your week off, but you will probably be miserable...

No problem, BBaller. Most insulin syringes are 100 units per 1 mL. So if this is true for your's, then your dosage of .35mL would just be 35 units.

That warning is only because the measurement on the syringe is in "insulin units." It is just to protect them from liability if someone uses them and thinks that it is mL or some other measurement and takes the wrong dosage. You are good to go to use them for Test Cyp and hCG.

Your estradiol is quite high regardless of your testosterone level. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the issue. Regardless of the T/E2 ratio theory, high E2 is high E2 is high E2. Since you are having symptoms of high E2, I wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Saya increases your anastrozole dosage...

AudioGeek, I understand and no judgement here. In order to get the Scream Cream that has testosterone in it from Defy , she will need to have a consult with labs done. My wife has been having issues as well and we found that her taking 10mg of Cialis helps a whole lot. I was going to get her...

How much is a small amount?

Agree with Vision. Go with Defy. Most Endos have no clue about TRT.

Pre-loading syringes is not recommended, but it is done by a lot of people. It increases the chance of compromising sterility. I must admit I have done it before myself when I have traveled.

http://www.allegromedical.com/diabetic-supplies-c520/easy-touch-insulin-syringe-p564904.html I use the 27 G 1/2 in. 1cc syringes.

No need to draw with a separate needle. It is just a waste. Also, I would get some one piece syringes (insulin syringes), as using ones that you can take the needles off of will cause a lot of testosterone waste over time due to the dead space. You will probably even run out of testosterone...

Sure, Vince. www.allthingsmale.com/word_docs/TRT.doc

Dr. John Crisler states in MY CURRENT BEST THOUGHTS ON HOW TO ADMINISTER TRT FOR MEN: Some practitioners believe it is only the T/E ratio which is significant, and therefore, as long as E only “appropriately” rises with elevations in T, all is well. However, the absolute concentration of E is...

Your E2 is elevated. If you trust your doctor, take the AI. High E2 regardless of how high your testosterone is can have bad effects on one's health.

Were you well hydrated when you had the labs drawn?

How do you feel the first few days after your injection?

Most guys don't have any luck with 2 week dosing, much less 3 weeks. Most guys find that they have to inject at least once a week in order to feel the effects of TRT. I personally inject every other day. Your SHBG is high, which would have an effect on your free androgen levels.

In regards to estradiol, I think that it should be considered independently of testosterone, whether testosterone is low, normal, or high. Just like Gene stated above, elevated E2 levels can cause bad problems in men. E2 can be elevated no matter what the testosterone level is. If you have...

Anyone who thinks polycythemia is nothing to worry about should not have a license to practice medicine. Just my opinion.

Cottonseed oil has two things going for it: 1. It is very cheap. 2. It is quite stable, which leads to a long shelf life.

Ah, I see. I would just go ahead and give Defy a call. They can probably ask one of the doctor's real quick whether or not they want you to hold off taking the AI. What was your estradiol on the previous dose?

I know what you mean, bluezebra. When I first started out, I was using 23G 1 1/2 in. It is so much better using 27G 1/2 in. subcutaneously now.

I use Watson brand and have no issues with using 27 G. Make sure you inject the same amount of air into the vial as your testosterone dosage and tilt the bottle as you pull back slowly on the plunger. Give it time to fill itself up before you pull back on the plunger a little more. If you...

If your doctor is one of the doctors at Defy Medical (Dr. Crisler or Dr. Saya), and they said you need an AI, then I would listen to them. They both know what they are doing.

hCG can be left out for quite a while with not much loss to potency. It should be fine.

If you are really in a bind and are having a hard time affording the labs, you could cut out the below labs IMO: Bioavailable testosterone DHT Prolactin Cortisol The whole thyroid panel except for TSH
