On another TRT forum (don't remember which one right now) they had members post T levels doing subq verse IM. The amounts injected and frequency remained constant. Thesr non-scientific postings suggested subq in the abdomen area resulted in lower T levels compared to IM. Subq in the thigh showed...

I'm un-educated on my question, but why the resistance to Red Cross. I'm just starting out on TRT, so I want to get my options in line if/when I need to donate blood. Thanks.

So I am entering my third week of testastorone cypionate, 50mg/injection done twice a week. This morning was my 5th injection overall. I am not currently on hcg or an AI. My sensitive E2 was 9 before beginning treatment. I can't say I feel much different, but I wasn't expecting to notice much...

Much more success today. Drew the .25ml with my 22ga, removed needle, drew plunger back to pull a tad bit of air, put 22ga needle on, got the air bubble to travel to plunger (took a minute or two but nothing drastic) and injected subq in upper front leg. Best injection yet. Felt nothing and...

That's sums me up right there. Been training 3 years, two of it consistently and hard with compound lifts, and I gain and lose the same 15 pounds of fat every year. Frustrating as can be. Hoping once I get my T up some it changes a little. For a guy my size, my lifting stats suck too. I want...

Did you have a time where the symptoms seemed to subside then came back? With a testosterone level of 1098, Nelson may argue your E2 is still low, using his total T / E2 ratio, your at a ratio of 28. He recommends a ratio of 14-20, or an E2 of 55-78 in your case. There are stickies about it...

Guys I'm learning here as well. Could this be low SHGB? Also, doesn't his E2 seem low at 14, which could lead to the moodiness, irritability and hot flashes? Am I starting to understand this stuff or have I just hit my head on a brick wall?

Welcome to Excelmale. There are a great bunch of guys here that are always willing and eager to help. I'm sure they'll be curious about your labs with ranges considering your age and T levels.

That's one worked. Thanks.

Thanks guys. Coastwatcher, I did read through that thread. Very informative. I'm probably not losing as much as I think, but any seems like too much. I will try to capture a slight bubble by the plunger and see if that helps.

I started self injections of 50mg test (200mg/ml, so .25ml) 2x a week last week. I am having a slight issue completely emptying the syringe. I load with a 22ga needle (pharmacy didn't have the 18ga in stock) and change the needle to a 29ga 1/2" needle after loaded. I'm doing sub-q injections...

Just wondering if anyone has eased in to a protocol. Here's what I mean. Goal is 50mg testosterone cypionate twice a week. Anyone start at 25mg twice a week as an introduction for two weeks, then go up to the 50mg twice aweek. You know, "Body, meet your new friend Testosterone. Big-T, this is...

Someone has to wake the rooster up! That's my "go to the gym and turn the rest of the world off" me time before work. Once I turn disconnect the ear buds, the rat race ensues.

Vince, thank you for the feedback. I've watched that video before, but heard conflicting opinions on mixing oil and water bases in the same syringe. To start out I would rather keep them separate to keep the injection volume down and not cause any "mixing" issues.

For those that don't know, I am not yet on treatment, just researching and planning. I do hope to start in the next month or so. If I do start injections, early mornings during the week are going to work best for me. I'd like to split the injections to twice a week to prevent the ups and downs...

I have an appointment here a week from today. Thanks again.

I have been on Defy's and discounted labs website quite a few times. I would really like to work with a local doctor if at all possible. Call me old fashioned. I'm sure I will utilize discount labs at some point, either for all my blood work or for some follow ups along the way. I called and...

Nelson, he is one of the two doctors I want to see. With my current insurance though, the first $2,500.00 is going to come out of pocket, so I was wondering if these prices seemed high or in line with the industry, including blood work and meds/supplies. Again, I'm just trying to educate...

So I went to a local medical spa clinic yesterday. I brought the two sets of labs with that I posted above. The doctor agreed that I should start treatment. He would not start until further blood tests where taken (good for him) and we went over the costs I could expect. I'd like to get your...

Thank you. I will keep him on my short list.

In the Chicagoland area.

Thank you guys. I have read all of those links, as well as looked up Defy Medical in the recent past. I have also looked at the post with the guide to finding a doctor on this site and looked up docs on the a4m website as well. I'm taking a bit of time to educate myself as much as possible. I...

I am at the very beginning of this process. I know I have some work to do, but would like to know if I'm heading down the right path. I have felt a steady decline lately, and I would like to stop it. I'm still fairly young and active, have a great wife and family, and would like to improve...
