I wish I read this before I posted about my shortness of breath. Looks like we have almost the same labs and similar symptoms. Did the relief last after donating blood or are you still having shortness of breath?

Is it possible TRT is causing me to not be able to take a deep breath? It's not shortness of breath, it is only when I attempt to take a deep breath. I feel like I can take in more air and my lungs will not let me. Current protocol: .29 ml Tuesday/Friday 500 IU HCG Monday/Wed/Friday 81mg...

seems possible...but, wants to do that? Easier for my wife that I take testosterone than her to take birth control.

That's what I've come up with. It was exactly 3 years after my vasectomy I started have low t symptoms. My primary doctor said he didn't think there is a correlation. However, one of the PA's at defy believes there is.

i think I just hit a nerve tonight. I injected and my leg started twitching. What can I expect as a side effect from this injection?

The point is, based in my results, some of us don't need a lot of TRT and HCG to get good results. I was put on 200mg a week and it was awful. I adjusted my dose on my own and it had taken three years and switching to Defy to figure this out. Stick with it and find what works for you.

I'm using the one from empower.

my original doctor didn't think I needed it because I was done having children. But, I didn't like my boys cuddled so close all the time so when I asked him to prescribe it and he denied me I switched to defy. The first couple of shots are difficult and after that it's no problem. The HCG...

I Stopped after two weeks because it made my throat feel like it was super tight. Not a feeling or sensation I liked. I might ask for a lower dose.

I belive its it's because I added HCG. Before HCG I was hovering at 600.

Total of 60mg a week. I think the HCG really boosted my T. Before I was on HCG I was 600's

Yes it was taken the morning before my Thursday injection.

I just got my most current labs back and these are the results. Testosterone 1263 Free 41.5 Hematocrit 49.9 Estrodial 43.1 I inject 30mg Monday morning and Thursday evening. I inject HCG 500iu M W F I also take L Arginine 2,000mg a day. I know my T is high; however, I feel great.

TT 615 FT 20.4 That is from my last labs in Dec. I just went to the lab yesterday and will update when I get them.

My fist protocol was 200mg weekly. I had the most amazing response 30 mins after my first injection and by the time my third injection I was feeling awful and had a lot of side unwanted effects. After a a lot of questions on this form I found that I needed to adjust my dose, not ask my...

That's a high dose it test and I would I imagine lowering your dose would help your heart rate.

Thank you!

That is exactly how I feel!

This for sure has been the worst injection for sure.

I get a little tense and think that might have caused it. I use a 25 3/8 and will request the size Nelson suggests.

Thanks for the info! My current needles are 25 3/8! I don't think that will feel too good! I'm going to request that size and start injecting in my belly.

I inject about the middle right of my thigh and I hope your right!

I think I might have tensed up and there was some oil on the outside of the needle.

I have experienced slight pain in my thigh from previous injections. However; this time it is pretty painful. I can not run and it hurts to bend my leg. There are some visible signs of swelling, but not much. It is not red or bruised and very tender to the touch. It even seems a bit hard...

I was started on a high dose of TRT and it caused the same problems for me...less the high E. I lowered my dose, on my own, and the anxiety went away. I don't understand why doctors prescribe a high dose right out of the gate. I bet if you started low and kept that for 90 days you'd feel a...

That's awesome!

I was put on an AI when I switched to Defy. I took two pills and stopped taking them because it was causing my throat to close up or at least that was the feeling I got and I got a severe twitch on my upper left forehead. I feel great without it and so far my E2 is in check.

I think Nelson has been on TRT for more than 10 years...I could be worng.

Indeed and I'm bumping it to 60mg a week starting today. I want to test it out and see if there is any benefit.

FWIW... My hematocrit lowered since I've reduced my dose from 200mg weekly to 50mg weekly. I also feel a lot better on a lower dose.

i went through the same thing and everything is going to check out fine. You're on too high of a dose. What's your doctors number I'll call him for you!
