One major thing comes to mind based on your symptoms. Many diseases share the same symptoms. Before jumping on the TRT remedy think about low thyroid. I would check out hypothyroidism as a possible culprit. Get a full thyroid panel including the antibodies tests. Here is a great link...

How long did you take them?

Thanks Cataceous. I may not have explained well enough in my intro that the lab tech did not submit my trough blood as expected. She submitted all new blood the next day, so the T reflects my full dose the night before, not trough unfortunately. As far as the free T3 goes, this is the first...

Thanks Vince. I don't recall seeing on the forum T numbers in the 40s and E2 outside the lower range without causing it with an AI, which I don't take, so my concerns are lessened based on your comment. I do see a urologist for BPH. Apparently my prostate is HUGE and he checks PSA every 6...

Thanks SS, I have not heard of grapefruit juice helping hematocrit.

Thanks for your reply. I expected T to be in the 300s, not 42 and E2 to be closer to 15 not 5.4. I'm not understanding why my E2 is so low when I have always been in the high normal range. Trying to understand why and if there may be something going on that one of the members has similarly...

I have been on TRT for 5 years and doing OK without any problems. I normally manifest an increasing HCT, so I donate blood about every 8-10 weeks and have been for the last two years. My HCT is around 51.5 to 52 when I donate. In early Sept, I started getting blurred vision, headaches and...

Thanks guys. I appreciate your feedback. I'm leaving it at home.

I will be out of the country for two weeks in April. I will have no way to refrigerate it, so I am wondering: 1. Do I bring it and inject on my normal schedule? How will the potency be affected? 2. Leave it at home? I inject twice weekly. Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. I appreciate your input.

Vince. I appreciate your concern. I am also concerned. My old dr is on medical leave, so this will be the first time I am seeing this doc and I plan on talking with him about my increases. I have recently learned that sex/masturbation will raise a PSA level, so it is good not to do either...

Thanks for replying guys. Yes, I did type my wrong dose, so sorry. I am on 80 mg a week divided by 2 doses on Sun and Wed. i did not type the wrong E2 figures though. i was also surprised that the Sen E2 was that much higher than the regular E2. Vince, why the concern over the PSA? My PSA...

Hello Everyone, I will be seeing my doctor soon and just got labs. They are: Test - 628 (range 348-1197) Free test - 14.8 (6.6-18.1) DHEA - 179.2 (30.9-295.6) Estradiol - 13.9 (7.6-42.6) Estradiol Sensitive - 20.5 (8.0-35.0) FSH 0.2 (1.5-12.4) LH <0.2 (1.7-8.6) PSA 2.8 Hematocrit 46.9...

I took Markee's suggestion and bought from Southeatern Medical. I bought the same as Markee, 28g x 1/2" easy touch and am very pleased with them. They load very fast in spite of their size and injections are rarely felt. So easy. I do test cyp SQ in belly fat twice weekly. Thanks Markee!!

Thanks again Gene! Crying is so not me, but has been lately. Morning wood is good but erections when I need them don't last long enough. Would changing my dose to twice a week help any?

Thanks for replying, Nelson. All of my blood draws were on a Wed or Thurs, with my dose day always on Sunday. The very last labs is where I screwed up. I wasn't thinking and had them drawn on Monday after my Sunday dose, so results are elevated and not a true reading. The doc told me to draw...

Thanks Gene. Your advice is appreciated. Will talk to doc.

Hello Everyone, I'm just an average guy, trying to get my body in balance. I'm 66, in good shape overall (5'11, 165, 33 waist) enjoying the retired life. I have a bad back and shoulder from 24 years in the military, so my exercise regime depends on how those two areas are working. No matter...
