Periandros, I will echo what Coastwatcher asked...why have you been prescribed Anastrozole? What was your pre-TRT sensitive E2 level? Second question...are the syringes you're receiving from Primebody Luer-Lock syringes? If so, you can buy Luer-Lock needles from any online medical supply...

Just for reference, my pre-TRT DHEA sulfate level was 109 ug/dL. After taking a single compounded capsule of 30mg DHEA/50mg Pregnenolone daily, along with my TRT protocol, my DHEA sulfate level skyrocketed to 546 ug/dL in about 3 months. My sensitive E2 also went up quite a bit...from 19 to...

How does low dose daily Levitra compare to low dose daily Cialis with regard to BPH, and general prostate health?

Hopefully get the correct blood tests? Why don't you just call Defy Medical, and get everything done right the first time? Your current Doctor is clueless (and that's being kind), and is certainly not helping you. Take all the guesswork out of finding a new doctor that can actually help...

With all due respect...you need to be "leaning" towards a doctor that knows what the hell they're doing, because it sounds like your doctor doesn't, and you're just guessing on a dosage. Let's call a spade a spade...you don't know what you're doing. I mean, you're already changing the dosage...

I am taking Sermorelin Acetate (no GHRP-2/GHRP-6) 1000mcg QD. My AST/ALT numbers actually went down to 19/22 IU/L after starting TRT and Sermorelin. My pre-TRT/Sermorelin ALT/AST numbers were 22/33 IU/L. One thing I noticed in the past about my ALT/AST numbers were that they easily doubled...

Agree with Coastwatcher. Your personal preference is what matters here. A lot of guys here on this forum use a 1/2"/27ga insulin pin. I use a 1/2"/29ga insulin pin, and I inject shallow IM into my quads. Plenty of guys inject shallow IM into their delts/quads, and some guys inject SubQ...

I think it's great that you're doing all this legwork for DH, but honestly...he needs to take an interest in his own health and well being. His 508 test level may very well be "in range," but it's nowhere near optimal. He need a full lab workup, to include a full thyroid panel, to see what's...

Billy, Your Urologist is a clueless idiot when it comes to modern TRT. I'd like to inject him in the glute with 400mg of test with a 1 1/2"/18ga needle, and see if he isn't walking around like Festus on "Gunsmoke" for a few days afterwards. I mean seriously...what doctor that possesses any...

Paul-E, While the numbers on your lipid panel aren't real pretty, they don't mean that you're going to drop dead tomorrow. Regarding the cholesterol myth...my Mom had total cholesterol of over 300, but was never fat and never had diabetes, and she lived to be 97 years old...(yes, I'm one of...

FP, You're going to have to turn yourself into a lab rat, and find out what works best for you. Personally, I can't imagine pinning 3mLs of fluid in a single injection. That is a lot of fluid, and you're not going to be able to do that much SubQ. I know it's a pain in the ass, but more...

Paul, I'm taking a compounded capsule (1 per evening after dinner) of DHEA 30mg/Pregnenolone 50mg, and my DHEA-Sulfate went from 109ug/dL (before adding this supplement) to 546ug/dL on my last set of labs. My sensitive E2 tested at 68 (same range as yours), with my total test level at 1131...

Zooka, One of your choices should have been: "Don't know yet. Still dialing it in."

I'll give EOD test injections a shot (haha, no pun intended). Since I'm still dialing in my protocol, I really don't have anything to lose, and it can give me even more stable levels with less aromatization. My test dosage will be the same only broken down now into 40mg EOD, vice 70mg every...

The reason not to try it is that you don't have any high E2 symptoms. Anastrozole is a very powerful drug originally used to treat breast cancer for women. It really lowers your E2 quickly, and if you're not careful and aren't dosing it properly, you can tank your E2 very fast. If you tank...

Very interesting. My latest labs showed a sensitive E2 level of 68 (total test was 1131, TE ratio: 16.6), and I don't have any high E2 symptoms...no itchy/sore nipples, no water retention/bloating, nothing at all. My PSA level was exactly the same as my pre-TRT level (1.1). I haven't had any...

Zach, You're really young to be going on TRT for the rest of your life. You didn't include ranges for LH and FSH, so we're not really positive what's going on there yet. I'm guessing a Clomid restart is going to be an option for you to consider. Get the straight info from Defy. Also, what's...

I'm sorry to hear that. Believe me, I was not trying to make light or make fun of your financial situation. It sounds like you can and will do this now, because you know it's in the best interest of your physical (and mental) health. After you start feeling better, your motivation level...

Max, Any reason that you're not taking the OmegaVia pharma grade Omega 3, vice just the purified EPA? The pharma grade Omega 3 has 780mg of EPA, 260mg of DHA, and 1300mg of pharma grade oil per softgel cap. Just wondering, since they cost about the same. I'm going to try the Omega3 for my...

Average male, I agree with the above statement. The largest amount of money you'll be spending is your start up costs with Defy. Consultation fee, initial drug purchase, blood tests, etc. Once you get past that, the cost of test and HCG is minimal. The expertise you'll be receiving from...

Don't change anything else in your protocol...leave your injection schedule alone. Just draw blood on a Tuesday morning, that's it. You're in Texas...they've got to have a LabCorp office there. Can't you just walk in without an appointment, or change your appointment to a Tuesday morning...

Concur with this advice. OP, you're wasting your time with a Uro or an Endo. Defy Medical is a leader in the field of TRT, and can definitely help you. Trust me, this is the best advice you're going to get.

Like O'Connor said, don't sweat getting your labs until June. It will give your body time to adjust to the new protocol, and your new injection schedule. Radically changing your protocol, and then drawing blood a week or two later is a waste of your money, plus you're not getting an accurate...

YGLT, Just so I understand you correctly...you said that these labs were drawn 4 days post injection, when you were on a 200mg/week single injection protocol? If so, that's not at your trough. It's no wonder that your total test, free test, and estradiol levels (wrong test) are high. With...

Kram, First off, you need to get the correct E2 test performed. You need the sensitive E2 panel, not the regular estradiol test...that is for women. I'll bet that your sensitive E2 levels are <10, and that is killing your libido. Your anastrozole dosage is huge, for lack of a better word...

How about some details please? Which doctor did you consult with, and what exactly is your protocol? From what I've read, in a healthy individual, methylmalonic acid (MMA) is normally produced in low quantities as a byproduct of amino acid metabolism. Any increase in the concentration of...

Ok, so what protocol did Defy put you on? Are you saying that they prescribed Test Enanthate at 200mg per week (single injection)?? Something doesn't sound right here. What weight loss injectable did they prescribe you? Again, something isn't right here. $500 a month for what? Just...

The fact that you made this statement tells me that you don't have a good grasp on basic TRT knowledge. ERO and Coastwatcher already explained that Clomid helps your body produce its own testosterone. It is used quite a bit for younger guys that want to attempt a "restart" protocol...

I was thinking the same thing. I'm not crazy about going to daily Test injections, but you're right...that would be optimal. I may end up going back to daily HCG as well. I'll discuss that, and the AI with Dr. Crisler the week after next. I'm not excited about the possibility of having to...

I take 2 of those "horse pill" fish oil capsules per day. I don't use creatine, but I have been lifting weights a lot lately...don't know if that can affect that number. I was pretty shocked at the IGF-1 too. I guess the Sermorelin is having an effect.

Thanks for clarifying Dr. Saya. I should have noticed the different units of measurement.
