For clarity: I have been on TRT for 2 years including HCG, Anastozole, and Levothyroxine. I once had Anthem Insurance and they paid for the blood tests. I have a good doc and he ordered all of the blood tests posted here EXACTLY as I presented them to him. Anthem payed around $750 to Quest...

I have been on 1500 mb Niacin for a couple years. At my last visit, my cardiologist wanted to discontinue the Niacin (apparently due to a credible recent study that demonstrated that it does not have the desired effect) and increase the lipitor. I have not discontinued the Niacin but i am...

I had cardiac calcium score done about 10 years ago and while still a little controversial, in my case it may have saved my life. Ten years ago, the score showed that minor calcification had occurred. Nothing major, but a warning sign. A made adjustments to diet, exercise and started 10 mg...

This will be interesting to watch.

I know a good doc at mission if you happen to be there.

I have had both kaiser and anthem in SoCal for TRT with varying results. Anthem is clearly easier to deal with. Kasier will not allow self admin of T shots at home under any circumstances in OC. My experience is that Anthem is a little closer to current protocol. Plus, Kaiser docs have NO...

Welcome. I'm south OC too. Do you have insurance. If so, lets talk.

Also, Gene, do you use the 1 inch?

Okay, makes sense. Gene: have you ever tried to draw with that 27 g?

I am getting quite a bit of scaring E3D Test C on a 23 gauge needle. I was considering sub Q and watched the vids. Decided to call Empower and talk to the pharmacist. They have LOTS of good info and will readily share what they are seeing going out. The pharmacist said they are still seeing...

Taking Anastrosole, T and HCG, all E3D. Is it okay to take them all on the same day?

Okay, that really helps! Thanks!

I have been on TRT for about a year and am now starting HCG, Total T is 813, free T is 174. What dosage and frequency should I start with?

I have both my thyroid and my sleep on track. Even though I exercise regularly, I'm still experiencing some pretty heavy fatigue every day. I'm hoping that getting me E levels in the right range will provide some relief.

Yes. I consider him a good endo in that, he honors my requests. He clearly does not know much about TRT but he does respond well to my requests and my presenting him with info and documents from this site. He prescribed 1 MG DAILY of Anastrosole which is a little scary but at least I can work...

Ultrasensitive. Nelson, do you more or less agree with Gene on starting out at .25 E3D?

What forms does it come in? My prescription calls for 1 mg tablets. Not sure I could cut them down to .25 accurately.

Taking 50 MG Test C E3D for the past 2 months Total T is 813, free T is 174 Estradiol is 75 so I am adding Anastrosole E3D. What does should I try first?

Experts: Please comment on the relationship between zinc supplementation and high estradiol.

Gene: So you are injecting the 125 iu every day?

I have been on TRT for a year, 50 mg E3D, injected, with good results and I feel like I am finally on the right dosage. I spoke to my Endo about HCG and E blockers based upon my most recent blood test and what I have learned here. He agreed to both. Anthem has been covering the T with no...

I MAY be switching to Kaiser from Anthem on Jan 1 (Southern California). I have been on TRT for 18 months and settled into a reasonable regime of TRT as advocated on this site, 50 mg Test Cyp every 3 days etc. Its been working well. The internet is cluttered with bad reviews for Kaiser on...

Thanks Gene!

I am using a 22 gauge needle 50 mg e3d in the thigh. Occasionally, I get a little "flow back" of T. I noticed some in the video posted on this site as well. Is that anything to be concerned about?
