Hmm, I will try that. Seems a bit risky no? I aspirate, so hopefully that means I will stay in the clear, I will test the amount left over again to pinpoint the exact waste and try that method. As for the needle today, anyone know if I can remove the needle and cap and use an insulin pin to draw...

Yeah, I just like it to go a little deeper. And something about those thin needles.. Just feel wrong going to muscle.

Hello all So I needed more test, but Defy said I was two weeks early to ask for more. I've been doing the exact dose they recommended. I was shipped syringes that are 1" long, 25G, I really like them because I do do deep IM. However, I noticed today that my waste was close to .05ml. I inject 3...

Wasted the actual testosterone. Lots of leakage for me.

I wanted to just throw in my experience. I feel like when I switched from SubQ to IM I felt so much better. I saw positive changes in a short time with IM. I feel like I wasted less as well, with SubQ I always got some leakage.

Yeah, might be a good idea. I'll test my IGF-1 once more, and if still elevated I will play the game with the GP to get MRI.

For LabCorp, male aged 31-35 was 88−246.

Hello My blood test from a few months ago indicated a IGF-1 of 294. I am 33 years old. At what level is it a concern, if anyone has experience with this? I googled it and obviously googling high IGF-1 is scary haha. Now I'm connecting my joints in my fingers hurting and my slightly sausage...

Hello all, Just wanted to post my current blood test results. Quick summary of my journey: Was low T and Low E after misusing things in the past. Muscle mass over time went away, pale skin, losing hair in a diffuse pattern, lost some eyebrow hair, felt like absolute crap, pains and aches...

This. Pre TRT, I was horribly low on estrogen, and rather low in T. The side affects of lowish estrogen is horrible on me. I rather be elevated in my case, but definitely the balance is the ticket.

33 years old (6 months ago), TT 294.

Old thread but any update to this? I have an elevated IGF-1, 294 at 33 years old. I made the mistake of googling and now I think I have acromegaly... Of course I'll see a doctor, but does anyone know what IGF levels become concerning?

I enjoy reading all the debate and the studies. I'm fascinated by medical science, and how much work it takes to conclusively correlate something. I think in some cases it may be impossible :(

Thank you for sharing your experience, I have decided (after consulting Defy) that I will go straight into the TRT. I posted this because sometimes its nice to hear feedback from those who have experienced it, and expectations. Defy is great, and they are awesome but sometimes I like to spend a...

Yeah I guess I can go that route, I will try phoning them when I am off of work, unfortunately I am in pst time zone so its hard sometimes to get a hold of someone in time. Especially near holidays. Thank you for your suggestion.

Hello, Moving from Clomid to TRT with Defy. Stopped using the clomid due to vision issues, but can I just jump right into TRT? Used clomid for about 3 weeks or so. What are thoughts about this? I tried searching the forum but couldn't really find an answer for it. Thanks all.

Looking at studies post 2014 shows no correlation between trt use and thrombosis. Texas study in 2015, u.s. chest physicians study, etc etc. I feel like one study showing it's true is not enough to warrant such anxiety and fear. Technically there are more studies showing no correlation then...

That's great thank you for sharing that. Hoping my TRT therapy that starts next week will help raise my DHT a little. I'm definitely not fearing DHT, I'm fearing not getting my levels up. My dose is low to start, 200 mg/ml – inject 0.20 ml IM/SQ three times weekly. So about 120 mg per week if I...

Now I'm wondering about my DHT. Will test injections raise it?

First week felt good, after that not much. Got some of the funky side effects too. I've been switched to trt.

Not sure, I never thought of that in any way. I am working with Dr Saya at Defy and that was his recommendation. Maybe it is due to the most likely reason I have low testosterone, which was prior test use off label without a doc. A couple years ago i fooled with testosterone injections and did...

Getting eye blurriness now. Similar to what i experienced my last round with clomid. :(

Did you ever figure anything out?

Yeah the first few days erection was good. 2 weeks in n9t so great at all. Libido low too.

Hmm ok thank you for your advice. I was just trying to see if my experience was common. This is my second time trying clomid and some of the sides are rather strong for me. My first round of clomid gave me some decent numbers in the lab, but after a couple months those numbers fell back. So I'm...

If I were to stop clomid, can I start TRT right away?

I'm still on clomid, in week 2. Haven't had labs as Dr saya recommended labs at six weeks. Yeah defy said labs at six weeks so it wasn't in the cards. I was hoping to hear about other experiences and whether this was possible to have a good 2 weeks then begin dropping. My estro was low to...

Sorry those were pre-clomid, right before I started. Hmm, don't know if it is common but heightened anxiety and feeling a bit nauseated. Also my libido shot up for a week, and now its gone again. I got a sore throat after week 1 that still persists, unrelated most likely buy haven't had a sore...

Hello all, Started my Clomid therapy with Defy. Not for fertility. 12.5 ED. First week or so felt really good, low test symptoms (zero libido, foggy brain, super dry skin, thin hair but no MPB, etc etc) seemed to slowly get better even within two weeks. Sounds crazy but it is true. However, I...

$400 per month? Is that a normal cost for TRT?
