    Need HELP! My CVS refill of Test Cypionate isn't ready for 3 more weeks. And I'm almost out.

    This is somewhat off topic, but you are with Defy and they give you a prescription to CVS? What is the cost for them (Defy) to do this (write a script)? edit...I found the answer in another thread. https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?12695-Buying-test-locally-with-a-prescription

    Latest blood test sucked. Could use some advice for upcoming consult.

    Empower is a favorite among many, that said I am not a fan of their HCG at all. I seem to respond better to HCG from Hallandale Pharmacy. It is possible you require more cream than you did of the gel. Ive never used either so I cant really answer that. I do know that Defy will make the required...

    Case Report: HCG Restores Spermatogenesis

    The study doesnt mention using traditional TRT (Testosterone CYP). From the looks of it they used HCG and rFSH as a form of TRT to get T levels right and kick start the testies.

    5 months on trt with Universal Men's Clinic

    Stop taking the 1mg of anastrozole, sounds like your Estrodial level may be too low/crashed. "estradiol was < 5" you mentioned the range only went to 5? The Estradiol test needs to be the "sensitive" test, with a range that stops at 5, I dont believe this is the correct test. stop the AI...

    Can you Have 1000 ng/dL Natural Testosterone Level ?

    \\ Be careful with that supplement. It isnt just a inhibitor, what it does is permanent. Meaning it will permanently bind to the aromatase enzyme, and low E2 sucks! C/P Arimistane (Androsta-3,5-diene-7,17-dione) is a metabolite of 7-Keto DHEA, which does not convert into testosterone or...

    Low SHBG guys

    Do you experience any sides from Tamoxifen? The list looks pretty crazy, vaginal bleeding, breast lumps and so on. Granted I know you cant have a few of them, but just wondering if there are any adverse effects.

    HCG Quality; brands/sources

    I can not agree with this more! While I prefer Empower for my Test C, I prefer Hallendale for HCG. The 2 vials are a much better solution for this, HCG being volatile and all. As with a post I just made in another thread, the mind is powerful, but there is no denying the smaller testies I get...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    I just want to chime in on the mind is a powerful thing part of this conversation. When I first began TRT with my current provider, I was given Anastozole .22mg to be taken twice a week. I had already read on the usage of AI's and how one needs to be careful to not crash their E2. Having been...

    Does DHEA boost Testosterone while on TRT?

    Oral DHEA clears the system extremely ast, taking it on Mon-Fri only will likely have very little, if any effect on your DHEA level. http://www.benbest.com/nutrceut/DHEA.html

    I don't know what to think of this story.....

    What I wonder is why are these guys not suffering symptoms as we have? Is the Low state the new norm, and there are not symptoms anymore? Or maybe it is due to the work that these guys do, laying around the house with a LapTop, so they are not getting fatigued as those who work more traditional...

    Got a Rx for Anastrazole

    1mg every 3.5 days will plummet your E2 into the ground! .25 every 3.5 days is spot on dose to start with. One still needs to be careful as some people respond to Anastrazole much more than others. Personally I am taking .22mg every Mon-Wed-Fri

    Question for those with Defy

    Total T, Free T, and E2 When I wanted a mid check this is what was ordered for me by Defy. I dont know if you have a point of contact in there yet. If not get one, it makes life so much easier. Otherwise just email [email protected] and put ATTN MEDICAL in the subject.

    28 year old - low test need advice

    Sounds like that endo is only going to treat your numbers. 6 months ago that 368 would have been a few points above the Low out of range number. Since LabCorp changed thier cut offs, its now 250 to be "Low T" according to them. It will be hard to get a endo to treat you as well as getting...

    ED/Libido Issues on TRT

    I had done the same, 1 month on, 1 month off. The whole time my numbers were in line with what they should be, I dont know what causes it to be honest. I feel like the wave I am currently on is going to last for a while. One thing I noticed, and I think has really helped me out overall is light...

    ED/Libido Issues on TRT

    This is true, I have a lower SHBG and am approaching 1 year on TRT and the last 2 months have given me the best results thus far.

    Daily injections question

    at e3.5d I required .22mg AI 3 times per week. This kept my E2 around 40, with TT at 1050 E2 of 40 was a good ratio. After switching to EOD injections I still require AI of 3 times per week, so not a whole lot of change for me. I havent puled E2 yet, waiting a few more weeks.

    TRT is not working

    Glad to see that you have went to a EOD schedule. My SHBG isnt quite as low as yours, but EOD has sure made a difference for me as well. I am now starting to manipulate my AI doses, I found that taking it the day after every injection gives me mild anxiety. Sticking to Mon/Wed/Fri for my AI...

    Lab Work Effected by Missed Anastrozole Doses

    Ever since missing those two doses I cant get back to where I was previously. Before the missed doses I was taking my AI of .22mg on Mon/Wed/Fri regardless of what day I injected Test C (EOD Protocol). Since resuming the AI I have went to AI on the day after injection of my Test C, so one week...

    Low SHBG guys

    I am not down to the single digits low, but do have some of the symptoms you mentioned. The muscle twitching, heat intolerance (I work outside too), and the weight gain in the abdominal area. I cant blame the weight gain on SHBG alone, many factors are involved here.

    Lab Work Effected by Missed Anastrozole Doses

    I recently changed my protocol from e3.5d to EOD and am loving the results. It is coming up on 6 weeks since the change, and I want to pull labs and set up my follow up appointment. My question involves me missing 2 doses of Anastrozole, I ordered a little late and had a delay in shipping as...

    Low Dose Anastrozole

    It is a capsule. I am also with Defy and have gotten meds from the same pharmacies he spoke of. At a time when I thought my E2 was tanked, I was opening the capsules, weighing the medication, and splitting the .22mg capsule. I had to order "empty" capsules online to put the medicine into. My...

    Uncommon TRT side effects

    It has taken me a year so far, after about 6 months I got to a better state. But even then I knew there had to be more to this, more adjustments were made, and now after nearly 1 year I feel so much better than when I started TRT. I still feel I can get even more out of TRT, but I want to remain...

    HCG Quality; brands/sources

    we can do that? i had no idea, or i would be doing the same, at least 2 at a time. to answer the OP, Ive only used Empower and Hallandale, both were fine, but the Hallandale were a 5000ui and a 6000ui vial, empower a 11000ui vial. I prefer the 5 and 6 of Hallandale vials vs the 11 at Empower.
