More than most, I find humor in even the grimmest of situations. Unfortunately, the National Farmers Convention was in town lol

You are correct :( It was a dumb thing to do, and was my fault totally. Really dumb. :( This was a result of impatience, and timing. Currently, my partner and I are geographically separated, and only get to see each other about once a month. There are other factors that inspire me to perform...

Well, here I go again :( Tried .04 on Monday, had a little bit of fullness. Tried .05 last night, solid erection in 9 min. Had sex. Unfortunately, at hour 7, still that way. Took 120mg sudafed, fast walked a mile, did some stairs in there. Tried poppers, and had it go down to about 70%, thought...

So sorry to hear your experience, it sounds much like mine. 20 units ( I suppose it depends on the strength ) is an awful lot to start with. I know what you went through, and it is even less fun that it sounds. Just take charge is what I've learned. If he balks, ask him if there is a medical...

Thanks, and quite timely. They have a few less boxes now.

This was an AMAZING experience. Really, for the first time in 5+ years, I felt like someone was getting the BIG Picture. Not saying "Oh this level is low, heres your script, have a nice day". We have a plan to get test injections (saving literally $600/mo for a little pain in the butt ;) )...

Just finished my initial consult with Defy. Man, it is really refreshing, that for the first time in 5+ years, I felt like someone "got the big picture". Dump the $$$ androgel for injection, double down on HCG (500IU BIW) , add some Anatrazole and then some trimix to bridge the gap until we can...

Adding this, for discussion and review at a later date : IGF-1 145 (mid range)

First one is with a PA. I've sent some detailed documentation on every supplement, and my TRT/ED history (Wow, been on TRT for 4 years!) . I'll add notes after tomorrow's meeting.

Ok, I'm just going to give some fair warning here. The following is for mature audiences lol This was not a fun thing. Sure, I used to laugh at the V commercials "..if you have an erection that lasts more than 4 hours". The treatment was brutal, as it was an irrigation. In this case, a...

I can tell you this, this is what the urologist administered when I had a priapism. I can't tell the dosage, but it was this injection.

I believe, Dr. Saya has recommended 250IU EOD as a reasonable starting point. I've seen charts here that make that seem very logical as well.

Welcome to ExcelMale. You'll surely get some support here ! It would probably help a lot of the senior members if you'd give a little background ( perhaps age, how long the ED/LL, why are you seeing an Endo ? ). Often, some lab tests around Testosterone can give insights on this. I'll tell...

Thank you for this. I was trying to decide on a new meter! Current is an Accu-Check, and it is about 4 years old. I'll pick up the Lite tonight.

Finally, I have my initial consult with Defy next Monday. I have been sooo tempted to try a .03-.04 dose, but the fear of ending up in the ER again has stopped me. Can't wait for this appointment, just feel like I might get some answers too.

112 - 130. Oddly after todays breakfast, mine was higher (140, but I am suspecting this meter/strips. 3 tests back to back produced results 15 pts apart )

Um, I don't know what this means ?

Yep, thanks. On Pioglitizone + Metformin.. I know, losing about 50+ # would help that out. One of my health goals, I don't mess around. I test at least 3x a day, have a piece of cake on my birthday (thats it), and haven't drank a soda in 3 years. Thanks for looking out for me ratbag !

Yes, after 12+hr fast. I know, I am a diabetic. For some reason, my rising BG is higher than at any other time I test. Has been for ages. A1C has been between 6-7 for 2 years. The one thing that IS DIFFERENT on my T tests, I have never put the Androgel on before the test. I confirmed this...

I have been on TRT (3 pumps Androgel 1.62) for about 4 years. I had to stop in 2016 when I lost my insurance. It's around $1000 a month at that level. Most of the symptoms returned. Mild depression (I'm a pretty optimistic guy), libido, energy, weight gain, ED, etc - you all know them by now...

Thanks. Bought this.

Just an update, for the many helpful folks following this. I decided to work with Defy on my TRT & ED issues. Lab work is in, hope to hear back from them in a little over a week. As for the Trimix, yes, I really wanted to try a small dose, but have decided to until after the consult. I think...

From what I've read, its bi-mix. Although, there seems to be some uncertainty about the dosage. I was give 15 units. Many here (without some type of prostate operation, which complicates things), report success as low as 4-5 units. They can also change the potency (as I understand it) of the...

Interesting you should say this. I initially contacted this practice for another Uro, that did my vasectomy, but he was booked nearly solid for 3 months. This particular dr., funny, my SO actually had him. She commented on his bedside manner and general jackassness as well. I'll start with Defy...

Well, I met with the urologist today. Talk about your basic ass... He was all "ok, lets drop your drawers and do this". He hadn't even read the notes about the priapism!! His comments were, well, guess you are back to Viagra. I asked about a smaller dose (initial dose was .15cc ), and he...

Thanks for this. My insurance doesn't pay for anything ED, particularly the drugs. I remember not very long ago paying $25/ PILL FOR Viagra 100mg. The compounding pharmacy my urologist suggested (literally across the street) gave an estimate of $110. Defys a bit cheaper, have to see what...

Doing it right From what I've seen, everyone responds differently. Your path of .01-.02 increments, and starting low seems to be the wisest way to go. You can see an alternate approach and results here...

Yeah, after reading, I would have thought something in the .05 would have been a reasonable "test dose" to see if there was a reaction. This is a VERY LARGE urology group, and I was referred by someone I trust. Perhaps I'll switch drs in this practice though.. Without the initial...

That is good to know, however in this case, the "Test Dose" was actually picked up from the compounding pharmacy just 30 min before injection.

Actually, this was the very first dose, selected and administered by the urologist. Followup scheduled for Friday, however, I will be calling tomorrow to consult, consider a different dilution, and lets call in some safety measures to prevent next Friday night from being like this one.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'd just got done laughing with the compounding pharmacist because she told me that 3mos supply would cost $110. Compared to vitamin V 100mg, thats nothing ! I reflected that with the priapis, that was longer than I've been erect cumulative in years ! Next appt is...
