No big deal. Just need to shorten the frequency of injections.

Are you just running the test for yourself or is a doctor going to order them for you?

Have you tried injecting into the abdominal fat? I do EOD injections with 26G 5/8" needle into the abdominal fat and never have any issues.

So, basically your labs didn't change. That would lead me to believe that the SubQ injections would be your go to.

For me, high E2 has been way worse for libido and ED.

Your irritability is likely due to your low DHEA.

How long were you on each protocol before you drew the labs? What does your SHBG look like?

Yeah. I'm curious if it matters if your SHBG slightly increases or decreases when you're on an every day protocol. I think it would have an impact on those that are on weekly or longer protocols, but not sure how it'd impact every day.

Just curious, but does it really matter if you're on an every day protocol?

You absolutely need to test for Estradiol, Sensitive. You need to see how these different protocols work for you. Unfortunately, those that need to stick with their DR because it's covered by insurance are going to have to be as educated as possible. The good news is that he is willing to...

Not sure you need the Anastrozole since your Estradiol is normal. Every day injections will help a little too. Mine is at 60 and was just put on 0.125mg every 4 days since I inject EOD.

Mine actually decreased when I switched from Weekly to EOD injections.

Defy recommended applying testosterone cream daily to the scrotum to increase DHT, also adding an AI of 0.125mg twice a week to lower Estrogen. Seems reasonable, right?

Will that help DHT as well?

Just got my follow up blood work back. Total Test went from 150 to 800 (264-916 range). Estradiol Sensitive went from 19 to 60 (8-35 range) DHEA stayed level at 370. SHBG stayed level at 14 (low) Checked DHT this time and was at 30 (30-85 range) Taking 40mg of Test Cyp EOD and 500IU of HCG...

Just what was given to me originally by Defy. Haven't had any issues so just continued as is.

Since I'm EOD, I inject Sub Q into the belly fat. Use a 25G 5/8" needle to draw and inject. No pain and very easy.

I'm curious about the daily cream on the testicles. Is there not a concern of it rubbing off on partner?

Renaissance Periodization is who I would recommend if you want to lose fat and gain muscle/strength. They are doing some great things with athletes in the Strength and Conditioning world.

I wouldn't consider it arguing with the doc. If the doc isn't aware of the half life of Test Cyp and when blood levels will normalize, that would be alarming to me. I think that's how many end up here. They are afraid to question their doctor and continue with terrible care until it gets so...

You can draw with the 25G needle and inject as well. One thing that sticks out is going back in 4 weeks to check blood work. If you're using Test Cyp, it takes at least 6 weeks for blood levels to normalize based on the half life of the Test. If you check after 4 weeks, you really won't...

So, you feel great and are only changing for the potential to stop Anastrazole? Seems pretty risky to me. Not sure I'd change if I felt as good as you described.

Any recs on a NO stack without the Cialis?

I'm sure it works for some, but why limit yourself if you don't have to? Learn to eat right and you'll lose weight. It may not be fast, but it will last. The problem with these diets that limit the amount of food you eat, is that everyone gains back all they lost very quickly. If you learn...

Have you been checked for sleep apnea?

Low SHBG levels means you need to do more frequent injections. With your SHBG levels, I would bet once a week is fine. The reason you are experiencing a crash on the last two days may be due to 140mg not being enough. Are you still experiencing the crash on 200mg?

I'd give the 100mg per week a try and see how you feel. You can always go down to E3.5D or EOD after you see how you feel on 100mg per week. No reason to give yourself more shots unless you have to.

I do EOD. I have a calendar in my bathroom with a sharpie that after I inject, I put a mark through the day. It makes it pretty simple.

Just out of curiosity, did you have your Thyroid checked?

I actually started with a local Urologist at 100mg per week of Test and after 6 weeks my T rose from 135 to 300 with no difference felt. So I switched to Defy, found out I have low SHGB, and was put on a EOD protocol. I feel better than the once per week protocol, but not great. So, in all...

I had a SHBG of 15 as well and was put on EOD injections.
