The half life of anastrozole is 48-50 hours, regardless of the size of the dose. It will clear out in a week or so and you will be back to where you were. Aromatization will be reduced during that time and E2 levels will drop a bit. If you were running on the low side you may even feel some...

Mikey1970, Heed CW's words. Hormone balancing / T replacement won't by itself cause significant body recomposition. You must exercise and eat reasonably to see benefits. The difference is that your body will be working with you rather than against you. If you've been working towards losing...

I'd be curious to know what the objectives are for this extreme regimen. I could guess at aTop Five, maybe even a Top Twenty, but it goes way beyond that.

Yes. The presence of folic acid is a tell tale sign of quackery.

I spoke to a pharmacy worker about syringes once - just once. It was a story we see often here, doctor didn't specify size of tube or gauge of needle so the pharmacist went with 'ol faithful, the much feared 3ml 18g behemoth. When I pointed out that the Rx called for 0.2ml and tried to hand...

That's my experience too. The effect is not noticeable with the plastic insulin syringes. Thawing: I don't freeze these days but when I did I would just take one from the freezer and hold it in my hand, put in my pocket, or lay it on the counter for a few minutes. That's all it takes.

For HCG the recombinant variant may actually be preferred. Purity will always be higher and with human-derived there is, in theory, some risk of prion contamination which is completely absent in recombinant.

How exactly did you crash estrogen? Do you happen to have before and after labs, Personally, I have driven E2 too low but it came back quickly.

Midlife, 2mg per week? That's a hefty dose of anastrozole for a male. Are you familiar with the symptoms of low E? Get ready - it comes at you like an aching soul sucking freight train. Just my two cents but are you confident in that dose - very few of us go any near that much. <1mg/week...

averagemale, Is the DHEA test DHEA or DHEA-S? It's the S (sulfate) that is important. By itself this single slightly high result may not be meaningful. The estradiol test you listed is a standard assay. This generally does not provide useful information for males. You could be OK, high, or...

Paralyzed by fear of what may happen is the low T talking. Seize the day, friend. Look at it from the other side: If two years from now your world hasn't ended, how will you feel then about not taking this important step now?

Davet, are you sure Crisler recommended progesterone and not pregnenolone? Elsewhere he is pretty adamant that exogenous prog has feminizing effects in men and that he never has his patients use it.

Nutpuncher, The problem with combining is that while micronized DHEA is readily adsorbed in the gut, Pregnenolone is not. Some have success with expensive Pregenolone matrix formulations but sublingual (under the tongue, not swallowed) is very effective and far less costly.

Tumbleweed, In short, no for folks in the US. If your employer has additional restrictions that may be a different matter, but if you are concerned about being exposed to felony charges it's hard to see how that could happen here. None of the substances available at these research chemical...

Prog can be used by men as a biohack in some very specific cases, and then only temporarily. By no means should be used as a primary intervention or treatment for men. For women prog can be a miracle. That may be confusing some docs if they assume treatment for menopausal females is similar to...

Midlifealpha, The important aspect of Rouzier's recommendation is that it is the high end of the range he is referencing. I believe that is the message - go for high normal.

To hfbgr, I have two words of advice: Dude - relax! You are in good hands with a custom protocol and testing plan backed by appropriate lab work designed by well respected, bona fide experts. That's a mouthful but it sure doesn't get any better than that. No one here knows your medical...

I've seen experienced members comment on being comfortable with 60 days in the fridge. I use a vial 35-40 days and am comfortable with that timing. Another option is to fill all of the syringes right after mixing then freeze them. Thawing is fast and freshness / potency is preserved...

+1 on Jarrow sublingual. Even though injections are fun, if you want to improve B12 levels sublingual is by far the most effective method. The study in the thread linked above looked at oral, meaning swallowed. It's well known that B-12 is poorly adsorbed in the gut so of course injection...

Re-ride, Help a brother out. I read then searched the linked document but could find no mention of hcg.

Seconding Re-Ride's main points. Folic acid is a chemical not found in nature. In lab experiments, and in a small fraction of the human population, it can be converted to the essential nutrient folate. In the rest of us it cannot, hence (among other things) the failure of this massive...

Regarding more frequent injections being too much, are you currently injecting IM or SQ? EOD is one option. E3D and twice a week (3.5 days) are common as well. FWIW I recently moved from E3D to EOD, SQ.. All are better (in general) than once per week.

As Vince Carter describes, and many others confirm, whole blood donation is very effective. Just a guess but wouldn't the benefit of a double red blood cell pull be negated by the doubled period between donations? As with other things we do, my sense is that more frequent + less extreme...

Fireproof, The good Dr. Saya will straighten all of this out for you. A good protocol will address everything you've described. My recommendation is to hold off on the extras for now - there are no short cuts. Work with Saya, follow his advice, and give the (presumably) new protocol some...

Effects of HCG mono stabilize sooner than T- based TRT. Probably more of a money question and also related to any side effects you may be experiencing: If you can only go once, wait until week 4 or 5. If it's feasible for you, going at the end of this week and again three weeks later would...

ecdysone, This reads as a troll-ish response. There are many discussions here about the FDA's stance on TRT that can inform the reader about the highly politicized stance it has taken in this area. What is your point in leading with "death" as a side effect when it's well known and well...

Jasen, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Is there a lobbying group or other centers of influence we can contact to show support for reducing persecution and ensuring these medications remain available through compounding pharmacies?

I just wasted several minutes scanning the Center For Men's Health (C4MH) web site. Their article "T-Myth: 14 day vs 7 days" is designed to support their mass market model of selling only on-site injections on a 14 day schedule and minimizing patient interaction with the clinic. Obviously...

HarveyMushman, Your result of 2941 (348-1197) is erroneous. The sample was contaminated by the T cream. Even though it is somewhere between unlikely and impossible that sublingual HCG caused it, if you think HCG had a significant impact while supplementing T it raises the possibility that you...

All Ubiquinol is the same and comes from Kaneka Labs in Japan. The one Nelson linked looks good. Costco has "Qunol" brand Ubiquonol, 120 x 100mg I've seen on sale for as low as $24.99.
