    Dr says he cannot prescribe cialis to compounding pharmacy

    Sounds like horse hockey to me. Defy Medical prescribes my Cialis troches from Empower without any problems. Empower's troches don't require refrigeration, and are in resealable packets. They taste good too!

    If I want to lower Estrogen...

    Why do you want to lower your E2? Do you have high E2 symptoms? Lab results? What is your current protocol? Give us something to work with here.

    How to get legit peptides ?

    Everyone should take a deep breath, exhale, and slowly read the above quoted text...because it is spot on. You have absolutely no way of knowing what you're putting in your body. Not judging here...just stating a fact. Unless you're getting something from a legitimate compounding pharmacy...

    Injection challenges, possibly not injecting correctly. How to fix?

    While you can inject into the rectus femoris, I've heard that it is more painful, and that you'll bleed a lot more than if you inject into the vastus lateralis. This is strictly word of mouth info, since I've never injected into my rectus femoris. If you hit a nerve when you pin into your...

    How many people supplement with DIM?

    Same for me. I tried it for 3-4 months, and it didn't do squat.

    A question about daily injections of testosterone.

    I travel internationally a lot, and carry Test, HCG, and Sermorelin in my carry on bag. To make things even more interesting, my HCG and Sermorelin vials are stored in a cold pack in that carry on bag. My insulin pins and alcohol wipes are in a small tupperware bin in my large checked bag...

    Anastrozole 1mg, 3X a week - Am I being overprescribed?

    Rebel, You need a new Doctor. Not only is your prescribed anastrozole dosage enormous, but the fact that your Doctor has you continuing this protocol with a measured E2 of 5 is basically malpractice IMHO. With a pre-TRT E2 level of 13.3, I'm still at a loss why he even prescribed an AI to...

    Should We Be Managing Estradiol and Hematocrit in Men on Testosterone Replacement?

    I've been following this thread with interest, while biting my tongue at times, and keeping my mouth shut. I for one really appreciate Dr. Saya's thorough and conservative approach to TRT. I don't want my doctor guessing about dosage levels, or not monitoring labs that we all know to be...

    Injecting questions and Scar Tissue Q's- Side effects / Tissue Damage from Injecting IM long term?

    Unless you have a very high level of body fat, I can't figure out why you would use such a long needle to inject into your quads. If you're built like most guys here, we just don't carry a lot of body fat in the quads. Most of us don't need anything more than a 1/2" needle to go shallow IM...

    Not on TRT, Confused by Lab Results

    How much DHEA are you taking? I'm an old guy that needed very little DHEA/Pregnenolone supplementation to boost my DHEA levels into the high end of the range. I started with 25mg DHEA/30mg Pregnenolone daily, and it was too much...I was off scale high. Titrated down to 15mg DHEA/15mg...

    IGF-1 Level: Cause for Concern?

    I honestly think I would re-test my IGF-1 level if it were that high. I'm thinking maybe a lab error? If that turns out being your true IGF-1 level, you obviously don't need any Sermorelin. Af for the risks involved with a naturally high IGF-1...I really don't know. Normally, guys your age...

    New on TRT - Help Me Establish a Protocol

    At your age, I would at least attempt a Clomid restart protocol before jumping into TRT. What have you got to lose? If you're successful, you will have avoided an unnecessary TRT commitment for life. If the restart doesn't work for you, the TRT option will still be there. If you decide on...

    Anybody take Human Growth Hormone (HGH)? Your Experience?

    Specifics please...what exactly are you taking? What compounding pharmacy? Is your health insurance covering the cost? I ask because $30/month, or $120/month for that matter...for real, name brand HGH is complete BS. You're using some off label Chinese junk, aren't you?

    Cypionate: Half-Life and Steady-State

    Tom, What kind of dose were you on (AI) to crash your E2 twice? Have you considered micro-dosing of Anastrozole from a compounding pharmacy (as low as .1mg/BIW)? I tried the DIM and CDG dance for a few months, but it didn't do anything to lower my E2. I'm currently taking .1mg...

    Starting TRT/Pellet Therapy: Advice?

    IMHO, you made a bad choice. Pellets are an ancient protocol...if you need to titrate down, how do you do it now? Answer: you don't. Also...excuse me, 16mg of Adex were mixed in with the pellets?? Oh, this should be interesting. Everyone here would love to see your labs in a couple of...

    Where to buy b12 injections without a script

    Run, don't walk away from this "doctor." Just like ERO said, give them a call. It's not a big deal to get B12 or even better, Lipo-C.

    Can you cycle off TRT?

    Your E2 is just a touch high, but not terrible. Ok, this is a little confusing. You were taking 80mg BIW, but now you're taking 40mg BIW...is this correct? Again...confusing. Do you mean 500IUs BIW? Ok, so what you're telling us is that you've changed a total of 3 things (all at once) on...

    Stopping TRT after only 8 weeks...PCT needed?

    I'd want to get off of TRT also, if I were pinning 200mg of Test once a week, along with that heavy dose of Adex. Not exactly a cutting edge protocol. Who is your Doctor, and please tell us why you want to get off of TRT. Got any current lab work?

    compounding peptides?

    Dude, No compounding pharmacy is going to touch some peptide you bought online with a ten foot pole. All those online pep sites sell "research only" or "lab use only" peptides, that aren't approved for human use (but we all know the reality here). Don't get me wrong...I'm not judging...

    Mood, libido

    I've been taking DIM (100mg/QD) and Calcium D-Glucarate (500mg/BID) for about two months now in order to naturally lower my E2. I'm going to draw blood next week for sensitive E2, so I'll let you know if it made any difference. I'm very curious to see if it made any difference, otherwise it's...

    Mood, libido

    Did your Doctor tell you to increase to 200mg Test, or did you just do that on your own?

    AI time frame

    OP, Read the above quoted text until it sinks in to your head. You can't titrate down with pellets. Whatever the doctor implants into your glute, you're stuck with it, and there's nothing you can do. Does this sound like a good protocol to you? I would highly advise you to join the 21st...

    How do you travel with syringes?

    I routinely travel internationally for 2 weeks at a time with Test, HCG, Sermorelin, and syringes. I would never preload any syringes...I don't want the chance of them leaking. I usually put my plastic bags of insulin syringes and alcohol wipes in a small tupperware plastic container, and put...

    HELP on GHRP Reconstitution

    There are a couple of ways you could do this depending on what type of syringe you're using. If you mix 7.5mLs of Bac Stat water into the 15mg of GHRP2, then 1.0 mL = 2000mcg, 0.5 mL = 1000mcg, and .05mL = 100mcg. With the small dosage that you're using, that would equate to 50IUs on a 1mL...

    Dr. Chrisler gone, Defy booked, numbers off, now what?

    Concur. Stlstudent, number one on your "to do" list is to get a script for a therapeutic phlebotomy, and get that HCT level down. Forward your labs to Defy, and talk to Nurse Jill, or PA Melissa. This needs to be done NOW! A full set of labs drawn at trough would be helpful for any of...

    Question on HCG Dose

    When I started with Defy, I was pinning 150IUs daily. That got old real quick for me, and I changed my schedule to 300IUs EOD. This is a much more manageable schedule because that one day off in between injections makes a big difference for me. Bottom line, it ends up being a personal...

    What to do if injections are missed?

    A high likelihood of getting lost? I don't know what airlines you fly on, but I've never lost a bag yet, and I fly a lot. In the event that my pins were lost, I would go to the local pharmacy, and buy some. If the country requires a script for pins, I'd go to a doctor that deals with expats...

    What to do if injections are missed?

    Personally, I think it's just as easy to bring your Test vial, and a bag of pins, than to deal with pre-loading syringes, and risk leakage, etc. Very easy, and doesn't take up any room.

    What to do if injections are missed?

    I wouldn't do that...no reason to really. I travel international for a living, and always bring along my Test, HCG, and Sermorelin. I keep my supplies (insulin pins and alcohol wipes) in a hard plastic container in my main (checked) suitcase. I carry my Test, along with my HCG and...

    TRT & sex drive

    This, plus what Vince said about your Adex dosage. You're crashing your E2...pretty sure this is what's killing your sex drive. First off, I can't understand how your doctor can put you on a TRT protocol, given your pre-TRT levels. Secondly, he didn't even test your LH/FSH on your pre-TRT...
