I agree. If Dr. Crisler is prescribing that amount, there is a good reason for it. We are not privy here to all of Shan's medical history, protocol history, lab results, etc...Dr Crisler is. He is quite literally, the last person I would question about this protocol.

I've travelled extensively with my test, HCG, and sermorelin. I always carry everything in my carry on, including the original plastic bottle containers that came from the pharmacy, with my name on them. I've never declared anything, since they are drugs prescribed to me by a medical doctor...

No, 1mg is not ok...neither is .5mg. You're going to crash your E2 with that dose. Do you have any idea what you're doing? It sure doesn't seem like it. Are you reading all the posts on this thread? ERO suggested .25mg twice a week as a starting dose. That's a reasonable starting dose...

Couldn't have said it better myself. Please check out Defy Medical. They know what they're doing.

Concur with Vince. Low E2 can be just as bad (and sometimes worse) than high E2. The number one and two complaints I hear when someone has low E2 is low libido/sex drive, and always feeling tired. OP, Stick to your normal test dosage...don't double up anything. One variable at a time...

May I ask...why would you do this? Did a medical professional advise you to inject test in that location?

Excellent! Glad to hear it.

You should dump his ass for talking you into implanting Test pellets. That alone, is enough right there. Horrible protocol, outdated, piss poor medical care. When I first started reading this thread, I saw the words "test pellets," and I literally cringed. I really felt bad for you. Then...

IMHO, it's too fast. Try .1mL per 10 seconds for test. It's thick and oil based, so it's not going to go in lickety split like water based HCG. I pin 1mL of Tri-Amino into my delts (alternating) EOD. Even though Tri-Amino is water based, I take my time and inject slowly. I use a 3mL...

Very interesting. What lab was this?

Busa, I saw your picture in the other thread, and know your basic body composition. Trust me, you don't need anything longer than a 1/2" needle. If I were you, I would use a 1/2"/29ga insulin pin for test injections, and a 5/16"/31ga insulin pin for HCG. You can get away with 5/16"/31ga pin...

There is no need to do this, and I certainly wouldn't try it. Pinning test into the pectoral muscle would be kind of risky, IMHO. Too vascular...pulmonary veins, arteries, capillaries...no thank you. The vastus lateralis, deltoid, dorso glute, and ventral glute are much better, and safer options.

Busa, You're definitely doing the right thing. Lots of guys out there just accept it as the "normal aging process," and are miserable. Lots of uninformed doctors out there call it normal aging process too. Not the case with Drs. Crisler or Saya. They understand the importance of optimizing...

Did you get SHBG and FSH tested? I didn't see it on your results. It would have been nice to have a more comprehensive thyroid panel also...but your TSH looks good. As for your HCT and LDL, you're fine. You're going to need to monitor your HCT, Hemoglobin, and RBCs (like all of us) once you...

Edwin, Maybe you should read this again, because Coastie hits the nail on the head. Many of us here have already been where you are right now...starting with our primary care physicians, sweating insurance coverage, moving on to Endos and Urologists that were equally clueless when it comes...

Lab Corp range for IGF-1 is 54-194 ng/mL. Since Tommy's value is ug/L (per liter, not mL), the number is the same, and equates to 115.85 ng/mL.

Tricky bastards they are, because they fooled me. I'm currently using their fish oil, but I just put in an order for some Intelligent Labs Fish Oil. I learn something every day on these forums. I didn't know that Omega Via was an ethyl ester product. Thanks for coming on here and educating...

Recheck your injection location. About one inch (two fingers width) straight down from the acromian (the boney point on your shoulder) is right in the meat of your deltoid. If you go too far down your arm, you risk hitting the radial nerve, or the deep brachial artery (though, unlikely with a...

Where did you get this idea for AI monotherapy...from that study you posted? I've never heard of it before...HCG monotherapy yes, but just Adex and nothing else...nope. Like Dr. Saya pointed out, you don't even know what your true E2 levels are right now, because you used the incorrect test...

Fire medic, Just curious...how high did your hematocrit, hemoglobin, and RBCs get during TRT?

Why would you want to inhibit IGF-1? Aren't a whole bunch of us here taking Sermorelin to increase IGF-1?

Why? Is it better to have an active infection left untreated for a couple of years? And...excuse me...expose and infect your partner to boot. That is flat out irresponsible and criminal, in my opinion.

This protocol is a hot mess. You need a doctor that knows TRT, because your doctor isn't making the cut. Do yourself a favor, and call Defy Medical for a consult.

You're getting way ahead of yourself bayraider. You need to take this one step at a time. Get the consult with Defy, and move forward. Based on your age and symptoms, I'm guessing that a Clomid restart is in your future (baring any unforeseen problems with your labs). Don't worry about a...

Good move...now listen to Coastie and don't increase your test dosage. Do one thing at a time, let everything settle down, and re-draw your labs in about 6 weeks. With regard to your HCG dosage, have you consulted Defy Medical or someone that knows what they're doing? Most guys are taking...

Hoosier, Unless you're a contorsionist, I would think pinning into your delts is a whole lot easier than your triceps. I pin Tri-Amino into my delts EOD, and it's comfortable with a 1/2" 30ga needle. I don't really have any fat there, so the injection is probably going shallow IM. YMMV...

Here we go again... I am speechless (practically). Looks like your "doctor," and I use that term loosely, has done an excellent job crashing your E2 with an anastrozole dose large enough to kill the wood on a rhinoceros. If that wasn't enough, I really like the "low dose" weekly test...

Good God... Steve, I really feel for you man. Your first doctor is an idiot (for lack of a better word), and isn't qualified to be treating you, since he is a clueless jackass masquerading as a physician. First off, he's got you on a single test injection every...excuse me...two weeks? That...

Some details please...how many mg are in your Sermorelin Acetate vial? How many mLs of Bac Stat water did you add? I buy Sermorelin in 10mL vials, with 15mg of lypholized Sermorelin (in the vial), and reconstitute with 7.5 mLs of Bac Stat water. If you're doing the same, then your "20 unit"...

What exactly do you mean by "puncture life?" Are you referring to the rubber stopper wearing out after a certain amount of time? If so, I wouldn't worry about it. A 10mL vial lasts me about 3.5 months, and I've never had a problem with the rubber stopper being worn out from multiple...

The Easy Touch Store offers free shipping for all orders. I order all my insulin pins from them, and their prices are very cheap ($12.50 per 100 count box of pins). It really doesn't get much easier than that. You don't have to be rich to afford their supplies. For any other med supplies...
