These are good suggestions. My work has actually started forming a softball team. In the case of the minute clinic NP, even if Defy was not on it she would not have done it. She balked at the beginning before she knew anything about Defy. So our mileage may vary even without Defy on the form...

I was considering my PCP for the physical, but the wait is about 2 months. I think next year I'll schedule it for around this time of year. You'd think asking for a simple physical would not be so complicated. Do they not trust themselves enough to make a sound clinical judgment without some...

I had an interesting little journey today to get my annual Defy physical. Last year this time I went to Redi clinic in the Houston area and used the Defy form and got it done quickly without issue by an NP. Today was a different story alas ! I scheduled my appointment and went at the time I...

Hi, my current dosage of HCG is: 400iu M,W,F. I am using a bit more than most to increase fertility.

It is suspected in my case that HCG is involved with increasing my estradiol levels. That is ok with me and I will take and control the increase of estradiol with anastrozole as opposed to stopping HCG. I feel good taking HCG. Nothing negative at all. Even with recent high estradiol levels I was...

I'm with Defy and I get my T from Empower and my HCG from Hallandale. The reason I get HCG from them instead of Empower is I like that they give two bottles divided 5000 and 6000. Empower gives one bottle only. The fresher the better and If I am traveling I'd rather take one unsealed bottle with...

Update: I had my consult with nurse Jill. I am now taking 0.05 mg of anastrozole/dim caps MWF on the same days as my test cyp injections. In 6 weeks I will retest estradiol levels again.

Yes. I really could not tell a difference. The only thing I have noticed is I seem to have some extra bloat or water retention. But, I also just got back from a 7 day cruise where I ate much more than normal and I gained 6 lbs.

Yes, I was surprised. I still have some .35 mg caps left of the arimidex so I took one to help lower it. I seem to respond very well to even a small dose so I will see what is recommended in the consult. My dose before was too much: .35 mg MWF. I forgot to mention that I received an RX to have...

New labs update: Had labs done recently. Estradiol is back up. Looks like DIM is not enough and I will need a lower dose of an AI. Hematocrit slightly up. Hemoglobin ok for now. I was hydrated. I have a doubt about labcorp Hematocrit accuracy. Will be donating a pint this week since I'm heading...

I used to go to Low T Center. I am now with Defy Medical. Very pleased with the treatment I receive. Low T Center is indeed cookie cutter and no HCG offered as well. I was not satisfied with them at all. I suppose Low T Center is ok for a temporary stop until you can find personalized and...

I read the article, but I still do not see where it says that aspirin actually lowers hematocrit? Or does lessening the viscosity lower hematocrit? Correction: It makes it less viscous, I meant to say on the earlier post. I also have been taking Vitamin C twice daily with food since June.

I take 4 grams of fish oil per day. My hematocrit, HGB, RBC still goes up on TRT. It helps keep the blood viscous. Nurse Damaris told me aspirin helps to lower Hematocrit? Does anyone know about this?

It is fascinating indeed. It should be interesting to see where it leads as they study it more.

Interesting results from "shocking" prostate cancer cells with testosterone. Telegraph.co.uk: A man with advanced prostate cancer is believed to be cured after doctors 'shocked' his tumour to death with huge amounts of testosterone. The result has been described as 'unexpected' and 'exciting'...

I cannot imagine waiting until my hematocrit went above 55 to donate blood. I do not agree with the conclusions of Dr. Rouzier.

Hopefully I can stay on DIM only, as opposed to a low dose anastrozole regimen. I'll know in Feb 2017 labs if this will work. DIM Is very affordable and no rx. Double bonus. It could be a myriad of reasons why there has been some conflicting information about it. Getting the email and seeing the...

I have been pleased as well with the costs. Granted, I have been in the adjustment and tweaking phase since I started last May, but once things get ironed out the costs will decrease significantly. I look at it this way: My odds of getting the same level of care and expertise using my insurance...

Corrected protocol: Received email from RN Damaris of Defy, who I spoke to mainly the last few days: Protocol is 200 mg DIM, MWF. Not daily as stated earlier and dosage is lower. Should arrive Thur. via Amazon prime.

I feel the benefits of taking HCG with test. Better libido, feel more grounded, full testicles, better ejaculations, happier, stronger. Before, when I used test only, I felt something was lacking or missing. HCG has been the " missing link " for me.

Was advised today by Nurse Jill, at Defy medical, to stop anastrozole and try otc DIM 300 mg daily. Just ordered some from Amazon. Hopefully this will be enough to keep the estrogen controlled. I will do labs again in Feb. 2017.

I draw up HCG first and then test cyp in the same 29 gauge insulin syringe. Works great and no waste. You only have to have a bit of patience to draw up the test. If done properly, you don't need to worry about injecting HCG into the test bottle. It takes me no longer than 2 minutes to complete...

Another note: Waiting today to get new recommendations for anastrozole dose. Probably a very low dose if any. I was hydrated for these labs so was surprised about hematocrit which read 56. When I went to donate blood the test said my hematocrit was 54. This is in line with my hemoglobin reading...

I live in Houston, Tx. We have some very good TRT locally, but I chose Defy medical. I am pleased with my choice.

You would be hard pressed to find a Doctor locally who will give you a consult and follow ups as thorough and comprehensive as Defy. I used to go to a Low t center in my area and it is night and day by comparison. The Dr. At the Low t center spent about 3 minutes with me and would not offer HCG...

I've used nascent iodine as a supplement for years. It definitely helps my immune system, and I am sure other things I am not aware of. I just use a few drops daily.

I am happy with Defy and the medical staff. There is a tremendous amount of info just on this site about estrogen management, libido etc. But, for all that info and knowledge gained, getting the estrogen balance takes time, and I am still not there yet. Certainly, I understand how frustrating it...

Hello Nelson: ​I have a Rx for HCG from Defy. How do I go about getting the free bottle? I do plan to have future orders shipped from Empower, which makes sense since I am in Houston, Tx. I have not seen or felt a loss in potency or effectiveness since I began in a June. It's good to know...

The MWF protocol is fine for me. If I were to discover however, that daily small injections would eliminate the need for an estrogen blocker, I would seriously consider it. My total per week for test is: 120 mg which is down from the 150 mg per week which I started with. So, if I did daily...

I recently received my 2nd refill of test from Hallandale. I detect no lack of potency and my last labs showed it is correctly dosed.
