Please see post #43 & 44 in this thread. So I had the estradiol sensitive test run on my own since the regular estradiol test the doctor ordered came back at <5.0. The Estradiol Sensitive result is 11.7 pg/ml (reference range is 8.0 - 35.0). That is still pretty low would you agree? Do you...

@Nelson Vergel I assume this is no longer your stance regarding Metformin, correct?

In Dr. Crisler's book he notes to draw your blood the day before your injection which is where you live. Does not recommend drawing on the day of the injection.

Wife and kids so a little concerned about transference. Also, not sure I want to put on everyday. If I do go on TRT I am thinking inject twice per week. Also, big difference in cost. I can get Cypionate for $21 for 84 day supply.

LOL! Thanks @Vince Boy do I feel like an arse..LOL!

81 views with no responses. I guess this group does not like polls. LOL!

Thank you all for your great insight, its very much appreciated. @FeelingLost I am not doing a restart. I've never been on TRT. The reason I am considering TRT is the hopes of it improving symptoms of lack of motivation, anxiety, irritability, add muscle, and overall long-term health benefits...

I totally agree. I joined to learn as much as I can as well. And I have learned a ton of stuff from all the great contributors of this site. Perhaps my anxiety about getting started is related to having low T, LOL!

@Vince Carter Thanks. I was hoping that would be the answer. Pain in the ass to have 6 bottles but worth the cost of only $21

I was reading posts on various forums and came across several people that noted after approximately 5 years the initial benefits felt by TRT such as increased libido and energy diminished significantly. Some posters noted they are now taking Cialis, Viagra, etc. and are looking to stop TRT...

Once per Week Twice Per Week EOD Daily Please vote by clicking one of the above options.

Do you get more waste with 1ML vials or just a cost issue? I have my first appointment with doc next week to discuss TRT. They said they can provide T to me through their recommended pharmacy or they can write me script so I can use pharmacy of my choice. Looked up pricing on my RX plan and they...

I use Optimum Nutrition NATURAL Gold Whey.

@Vince Do you put HCG in the same syringe as your T or do you do separate injection?

Nelson has a video on this site demonstrating how to inject both in same syringe. I am curious how many members actually do so.

@FeelingLost I am self-pay going to a doctor that specializes in TRT. I have not yet had my first appointment. They ordered the initial labs so I guess the doctor wants to first sit and review them at our first meeting. I did have blood drawn today for E2 Sensitive through discountedlabs.com...

@Vince Carter You think I should re-run Total T and Free T as well or just the Estradiol? I have appointment tomorrow at Labcorp for Estradiol Sensitive test.

@will brink Please see post #43 and #44. Would be interested to read your thoughts on the latest labs.

In 2011 when Total T came back at 377, E2 was 17.5. In 2014 when T came back at 628, e2 was 19.8. In 2016 when T came back at 544, e2 was 19. Now 2017, I would not think e2 would drop so low because I am at 406. I emailed doctors office and asked if I should retest estradiol or do sensitive...

I was looking up the symptoms of low e2 and many of them match the ones I listed in my first post on this thread. Lately I have been urinating a lot, I do drink a lot of water, and constantly thirsty which also appears to be another symptom of low e2. @feelingLost, I take a multi-vitamin, D3...

Here is the SHBG Results

So the last time I had my labs run was several months ago (see post #22 and #26 in this thread). I decided to go to a doctor that specializes in TRT (appointment in a couple of weeks) so I can finally make a decision whether I want to go on TRT, etc. He ordered my blood work, below is a partial...

I've heard and read good things about Dr. Brett Osborn but no personal experience. I do have an appointment with him in next few weeks.

You should do a podcast (for those that don't want to appear on camera) interview with some of your regular excelmale contributors about their experience, etc.

The videos are great. Keep them coming!

@Sportsfan8724 Thanks for the reply. I think I've watched everyone of his videos as I've been researching doctors. I'm feeling confident in my selection and looking forward to the consultation. Is he your doctor as well or someone you have worked with in the past?

So I finally decided to make an appointment with an experienced TRT Doctor (Dr. Osborn). Blood tests were ordered but the estradiol test was not the sensitive type. I inquired why and was told sensitive was not necessary. I have an appointment in a few weeks. I've heard/read a lot of good things...

@FreeRangeYeti In my opinion, all the advice you are getting about going to Defy or a doctor that is experienced in TRT is the way to go. Excelmale is an awesome site for information but I would also highly recommend reading some books on the subject all of which are an easy read. Highly...

WOW, you sure it was the doctor that examined you? ;)

Estradiol appears extremely low. Most recommend Estradiol at least 20.

What is the cost of 5Mil Vial of T-Cypionate from Empower?
