    What's wrong with me?

    Oddly enough, we also look somewhat similar. Thick eyebrows/beard, similar hairline, same body frame on the skinnier side where most of the fat likes to hit the belly only. I do my best to diet/exercise/sleep deeply to keep that under control, but it isnt easy.

    What's wrong with me?

    I think you got the wrong type of estradiol test too, but i’m not sure how much it matters for someone not on TRT. Others can confirm more certainly. If suggested, the right type of estradio test would be sensitive estradiol.

    Am I paying a fair price for penile injections?

    My current dr treating ED and T has a lab for blood draws. Although unsure, I also believe a limited compounding lab as well as I received the bimix directly from them, but not T or HCG. Dr. Michael Werner of Michael A. Werner, MD - Board Certified Urologist | Maze Men's Health | (NY/NJ/CT)...

    Am I paying a fair price for penile injections?

    Thank you. Glad that Defy's transparent about prices (many places aren't). I suppose it's still hard to compare if I'm getting a good price since the compounded formulas offered by Defy are all different than what I received... but going based on some inexperienced guessing with the data...

    Am I paying a fair price for penile injections?

    I use them for 1 prescription at the moment. No complaints, but I was looking for advice on if I’m paying a decent price or not compared to others (and if not, where i can get a good price if known). Not necessarily where to find a pharmacy. Regular pharmacies or goodrx, I usually get a price...

    Half lives of testosterone, hCG, anastrozole and clomiphene.

    Thanks for this thread btw. VERY useful for HRT, sticky worthy. Many fall into this pitfall. I found myself referring back to it for others struggling. A lot of USEFUL knowledge here. I see in all cases listed, there are 1 or more doses done before half life of that medication is reached. The...

    Sleep apnea/insomnia on TRT can time fix it? advice needed

    Why add fuel to the fire of insomnia? Consider drinking caffeine earlier in the day and/or less and/or quitting it. I like caffeine but I like sleep more. To get the best of both worlds, so that caffeine doesnt bother my sleep, I had to build up a tolerance to it by adding it into my diet...

    Am I paying a fair price for penile injections?

    Excelmale, I received bimix from my doctor who has his own lab to make it. I was told it's a 12.8mL vial of: 30 mg/cc Papaverine 3.3 mg/cc Phentolamine (I googled around a bit and haven't see anyone mix in this much phentolamine, so it's a high concentration) I paid $325 for it. I usually need...

    To Daily Injectors of testosterone and HCG, what's your HCG dose?

    Seems like some of my posts from this thread and others got deleted. Forums been a bit funky last few days. Systemlord, I read your post here that got deleted too. Just found time to respond. In short, I mentioned I felt significantly better last week at about 13-14mg T + 20IU HCG a day but not...

    how long does cialis back pain last?

    Ive been experiencing some increased back pain and think there’s a possibility it’s from ceebis as well. You didnt experience it with liquid tadalafil. Which brand?

    Low SHBG Guys

    I wouldnt paint a broad brush on the issue and say 10mg’s the magic formula. I think if your SHBG’s low, start with either 1 of 2 methods (after speaking with doc): -Start from the avg of what most daily injectors are doing. From what I gathered, people are mostly doing anywhere from 9-18mg...

    Need help with sleep management on TRT

    While sleep is important, it doesn't help to over-worry about it. I get the feeling SOME here are. I used to worry about it too much. While it's ok to learn ways to improve it (naturally 1st), don't obsess what's hard to control. Ever since young, my ability to fall asleep is below average...

    What the best Site to order Liquid Cialis/tadalafil

    I say try both pills/liquid and stick to what you like. I wouldnt mind going either way as they have their pros/cons. While liquids may be classified as research chemicals, and pills from popular indian pharmas are known to have high purity/reputation... Liquids have the advantage of...

    To Daily Injectors of testosterone and HCG, what's your HCG dose?

    Thanks guys. This forum has been a major help. Find myself reading here alot. I remember about a yr ago before I stopped TRT, I was on 62mg Tcyp, 0.3mg AI, and 500IU HCG twice a week. Minimal improvement with libido. Eventually learned low SHBG guys benefit from frequent injections. I dropped...

    To Daily Injectors of testosterone and HCG, what's your HCG dose?

    I'm also unsure if I'll stay a daily injector. I certainly felt better injecting a lower weekly dose daily, versus a higher dose twice a week. Makes sense being a low SHBG guy. But there may be room to test if injecting EOD works. Something I plan to test after I'm dailed in daily. So feel free...

    To Daily Injectors of testosterone and HCG, what's your HCG dose?

    Hi Guys, Long story short, I have ED and low T since 20s. As docs can't clearly pinpoint root cause, my theory is that it's due to slightly elevated cholesterol (genetic) since I was young. Tadalafil, bimix, and correcting low T has been most effective out of all things I've tried. I was on TRT...

    Good doctor near New York City for ED issues in young male

    Even though that thread says mostly bad things about shockwave therapy (and I’m glad to have read it to take in more feedback), I heard mostly promising things researching elsewhere. It sounds like the most popular “experimental” treatment for ED. Pros would be more convenience if it means...

    Good doctor near New York City for ED issues in young male

    Hey ExcelMale, I was wondering if anyone knows of SKILLED docs in or near New York for Erectile Dysfunction (arteriogenic dysfunction confirmed during penile doppler scan) and libido issues. I don't mind traveling a few hours if needed. Based on past experiences, I have no interest in visiting...

    TRT patient feeling better after lowering my prescribed dose

    Thank you. I didn't think the answer was clear, because I didn't think I was fully shutdown with a lower than average dosage, plus I take HCG which tricks the body to making natural T. Speaking of that, on a dosage of 9mg Tcyp and 40IU HCG daily, my boys have not decreased in size. I actually...

    Better to inject T daily and HCG less often, or HCG daily and T less often

    Hi guys, I did an experiment with injecting both testosterone (9mg a day) and HCG daily (40iu a day) for few months. Obviously, not the most convenient to take both T and HCG daily but I was willing to do whatever it takes to improve health/symptoms with the least amount of drugs (stopped AI)...

    TRT patient feeling better after lowering my prescribed dose

    Thank you guys. I believe in following how I feel more than following numbers, but just to test, I may experiment with bumping up t cyp from 9mg daily to 10.5 and see how that feels. I think that may potentially take me from the low end of normal T to the mid/high end. Vince, sorry. You...

    TRT patient feeling better after lowering my prescribed dose

    I've shared my 6 month old labwork while I was on my prior protocol of "62mg T cyp, 500IU HCG, and 0.3mg AI TWICE A WEEK. 1 click of 10% T gel to scrotum and 2-5mg tadalafil A DAY" in post#2 and 6 here. I mentioned I joined the daily injector club and changed protocol to only "9mg T cyp, 40IU...

    TRT patient feeling better after lowering my prescribed dose

    Thank you Vince. I asked because I did a lab test in the morning before my next injection. Now I know the results will show my trough. This is the 1st time I did lab results while doing daily injections. I'll have the results soon which I'll share

    TRT patient feeling better after lowering my prescribed dose

    fifty: I don't remember my dose honestly. That was many years ago, but at the time when I looked into it versus what I researched online, I realized it was high. Sorry. For daily injectors of T cypionate, when is the peak and trough for T levels? I believe I read T cyp peaks after 24 hours. In...

    TRT patient feeling better after lowering my prescribed dose

    MarkM, I believe that literally means every other day. Guys, I am still feeling well and plan to do bloodwork soon. My doc may not be aware I lowered my dose, stopped AI, and am taking shots more frequently until after I speak with him. So I'm wondering if you guys think any of those changes to...

    Carnivore Diet-Dr. Baker Blood Test

    I can relate to putting on muscle while having natural low T, and my brother can as well. When I used to have low T, I was very much into working out. I had and still have above average muscular build with facial hair. Never a clear six-pack, but still somewhat lean. The only reason I started...

    TRT patient feeling better after lowering my prescribed dose

    Systemlord, I hear ya. Maybe it's all in my head, but I think my physical appearance is already slightly better since I switched 2x/week to daily. I didn't expect that because my total dose is less. When I used to sit in a chair for awhile, for years, I'd have moderate pain getting up...

    TRT patient feeling better after lowering my prescribed dose

    lexer, Feel free to PM me on your hairloss questions (or if you have a thread somewhere, let me know). I'm glad to help, but it's off topic for this thread. Did 2800 grafts, but that shouldn't tell you much. Maybe I have more loss than you. I'd post the link of where I shared pics of my scalp...

    TRT patient feeling better after lowering my prescribed dose

    Vince, Thank you. I didn't know testing for Free Estradiol could be useful. I'll include that. Because of T cyp's long half-life, I'm waiting a few more weeks to see if I continue to feel well. Figured I should wait 4-5 weeks before retesting for that same reason. Naturally, before starting...

    TRT patient feeling better after lowering my prescribed dose

    That may be fine for you but If you want to go the extra mile, I’d post a picture of your scalp and ask whats recommended on a hair loss forum. Good to get another set of eyes on it. When I did that, all posters pretty much mentioned a lot of doctors are too conservative with the amount of...

    TRT patient feeling better after lowering my prescribed dose

    Lexer, I’m not sure if you missed the part where I said i did FUT or if you dont know what it is. FUT and FUE have their pros and cons. I went with FUT due to more yield (decrease my chances of needing a future hair transplant), plus slightly better cost. But a con of FUT is a thin line of no...
