I switched over to Defy Medical in June of this year and liked what I experienced. I was paired up with Dr. Chrisler (did I have a choice??) and he went over my test results which were pretty good already because I had been getting treatment from a local clinic (long story, they are closed). Dr...

Do you draw with that too? Just seems you'd have to be very patient on both the draw and inject with that small of needle...but then again I guess the payoff is worth it

thanks guys, that is what I was figuring. I will definitely discuss this with Dr. Chrisler at our next phone appointment. We did not run SHBG on that tests for Defy (those numbers were from 2 previous I did with DiscountedLabs.com). My biggest concern was injection so much so going EOD or...

Thank you Dr. Saya for weighing in. I figured the smaller more frequent route would be where I would eventually need to go. Dr. Chrisler is the one that first moved me to every 3.5 days (I was once a week from my old clinic). My SHBG was 9.2 and 9.6 on my last two times I had it drawn. I was...

I guess I should also add that I am not having of the common side affects that I had when I first started TRT years ago. I shot up to 960, felt great with strong libido, strong erections, stamina and overall happiness. However, I did have the side effects of back acne, hair growing fast and...

Quick facts: Currently under care of Defy 100 units of HCG daily .5ml test cyp every 3.5 days SC .25 mg anastrozole on injection days What would be the possible symptoms of running your t-levels too high? I know a number is just that, we all respond differently at different levels...

unfortunately i'm far from lean ;) I've been rotating between upper glutes, thigh and abdomen and really do not feel a difference as far as the tesosterone working so I assume they all get into the system the same. So like many said before, it really is just about comfort

thanks. So far I've been rotating with every injection from the thigh, to the abdomen to the glutes. Abdomen is the one I'll probably stay away from because of the pain and swelling. Glutes seemed fine and its nearly the same spot I was doing IM injections but with a 5/8" needle instead. SQ is...

When I first started TRT it was a compounded creme that raised my T up to 900 and my libido and stamina were the best ever. I did notice scalp itching and the hair lady said i had thinned. I didn't even think about DHT nor did my dr mention or test for it. But over time I was very up and down...

Currently Defy has me on Sub Q injections (1/2 ml twice a week). I am glad they switched me as I prefer the SQ over IM as far as comfort, amount and more frequency. I have read the postings about Sub Q and do not question the science of it. I'd like to know what your thoughts and experiences...

absolutely, i'm a little frustrated that the Dr. had not already said something to him but then again he never got printouts of his labs nor did the Dr. discuss any numbers with him. that is why I have been a little more forceful and go down and get his labs all printed out for him and I am...

thanks for the reply. You may not believe me when I say it, but its almost like his Dr wont tell him what he is injecting. I need to be forceful and just go with him but its tough because its hard to tell the man who changed your diaper what do to :) He WAS injection 3cc of 200mg every four...

I am 34 and believe I have finally dialed in my HRT with the help of Defy, its been a 5 year journey but like where I am at. My issue now is trying to help my father. In short, he is a 70 years old and has dealt with many health issues over his life. All of those have been in check for about 10...

UPDATE: So I decided to back load my sub q syringes using my pre loaded IM syringes. Either I am completely crazy or I am missing something because my pre loaded syringes were filled to the 1ml mark, when I back load into the smaller Sub Q syringes, re insert the plunger and remove the air I...

The thing is, I've already got the 'old' meds and in hand and just received Defy's as well. So i'm not necessarily saving any money currently but will in the future because if I use the 'old' meds first I can push out the refills from Defy longer. The HCG is a no brainier I guess since its not...

For a number of reasons, I switched my current care over from a clinic in Missouri to Defy Medical. Dr. Crisler said I was on a pretty good protocol just tweaked it a bit and added a few things. For instance, I went from one intramuscular injection of 1cc of 200/mg test cyp per week to .5cc of...

Had my initial consult with Defy and spoke with Dr Chrisler. He thought I had a good start but wanted to do some fine tuning so here is the new protocol: 200mg Testosterone .5 ml twice a week (Sub Q) 100 i/u HCG every morning (Sub Q) .25 mg Anastrozole on the mornings of my T injections Fish...

TRT has worked wonders for me, I have went from the bottom and up to a 7 or 8 (if we were using a 1-10 scale). I'm just having a hard time getting to that 9 and 10 range or at minimum staying consistent. Even if I am low SHBG that at least would be consistent wouldn't it? So i'm curious as to...

Agreed, especially the free T. I triple checked and all reports said they used the same measurements (pg/ML) as I thought that might be it. I'm really not sure. And that last lab was drawn the day before my next injection

Thanks for the reply. When I talked with Nelson, he said the very same things about my Thyroid so I spoke with my PCP about it and how the the reference ranges are not that great an indicator. I printed out the research that Nelson posted on here but he was not swayed and said I would need to...

Like many of you, I have spent countless time researching and reading about HRT on this site and others. I have also had an opportunity to speak with Mr. Vergel and discuss these topics. If you get a chance i highly recommend speaking with him as his knowledge and positive attitude and help were...

no I am not, just T cyp, HCG and arimidex

Thanks for jumping in! I appreciate any and all input. I will for sure get the thyroid tests done. That TSH number is the highest its been since I started HRT. Any thoughts on the high DHEA or low SHBG that hasn't already been mentioned?

Thanks for this info, I'll have to do some more reading up on SHBG. I was under the impression that the more you had of it, the less the testosterone was able to do its job because it was bound up by SHBG and could not be used. I didn't think SHBG ever 'released' it. But now that you have said...

Thanks for the reply. I apologize I forgot the T dosage. According to the prefilled syringes its is 1 cc of 200mg T cyp. So if I read correctly, you believe that the back end of my week i've gotten rid of most of my T cyp correct? How exactly would injecting once a week cause my SHBG to be low...

First let me say WOW and Thank you! I was directed over to this site some time back from another similar site and the amount of information in once place is almost overwhelming. And how impressive it is for so many folks to take their time to read and respond to other people they have never met...
