Get your RT3 and the two antibodies tested. I had both T4 and T3 in the low to mid range, but my TSH and RT3 were still elevated. Added 5 mcg of liothyronine (T3) to my daily thyroid meds. Both TSH and RT3 came back down and I feel better - but still trying to dial things in. My TPO and...

How long it lasts depends on your prescribed dose. If you take 500 IU per week, a 12,000 IU vial would last you right at 24 weeks. At a 1,000 IU per week dose, the vial lasts about 12 weeks. Prescribed by my doc at Defy Medical. Primer? You should have your doc "prime" you on it.

I can get a 12,000 IU vial for $72 USD.

I've often stocked up and kept the unmixed vials in the freezer. Reconstitute and go for it - ignoring the expiration dates. Never had any issues.

Unless you're interested in moobs and such, steer clear of all things soy. Same holds true for hops. Use egg yolk or sunflower lecithin instead.

For me, PT-141 typically does the trick...but sometimes takes 4 to 6 hours before it really kicks in. Seems to be dose dependent. 10 units and it kicks in 8 hours later. 15 units and it kicks in 6 hours later. 20 units and it's on within 4 hours. Dog gone stuff gives me spontaneous...

I tried the cream in addition to my injection protocol. Didn't notice any increase in libido, but I did notice was a serious spike in PSA. PSA went up from my normal 1.2-1.7 range to 5+. I'm 58 and haven't ever had prostate issues (nor do I want them either). I quit using the cream and...

I've routinely used a Medicool unit to carry both HCG and Trimix while traveling. The unit can hold two 10 ml vials without problem. I've carried one of these all over the US and even into the Caribbean. I just hand carry it through airport security and ask that they hand check it. Once they...

Dr. Runnels has a good thing going with the priapus shot. It does *some* good, but it's not the end-all that everyone hopes for. Shockwave therapy is a complete waste too. Save your money and be happy that you still have a pulse!

I'll take "what is nettle root" for $50 Chuck.

PT-141 can be dissolved and "snorted", but it's nowhere near as effective as when injected. Just go get some quality PT-141 and give it a try. The good stuff (not *research* peptides) is the bomb!

Evening routine - I lay out my thyroid meds on the night stand along with some water. Take them as soon as I wake up. I normally wait 30 or so minutes before having coffee, but sometimes I cheat and have that morning coffee earlier. I figure it's OK to cheat once in a while but not every day.

Hard to say without seeing your labs. For me, hypothyroidism came into play (Hashimotos). I wouldn't take Cabergoline without first knowing my prolactin levels. Might discuss this with your physician first.

Berberine doses the same as Metformin. I take a 250 mg capsule twice per day. Brought my A1c down from the mid 6's into the low 5's.

True. I just live with the stockpile of 1ml vials for now. Still handy for when I travel. Back in the days when I managed to get a 10ml vial, I'd "poke" it enough that the rubber stopper in the vial would almost give out before I was out of testosterone.

Much of this is controlled by your insurance company. Only so much that they'll authorize for a single fill. My physician used to write me a Rx for a 10ml vial (I take 2x .25ml shots per week). Can't write "n" refills on a controlled substance, so it is what it is. Suddenly and without...

Defy does charge a fee for calling a prescription into a pharmacy local to you. I'd call back and ask to speak with a different consultant. Get in contact with Melissa or Michael (they're both Dr. Saya's PAs) - those two are awesome to work with. If Christee were still there, she would do...

Also, did you get your TPO antibodies checked?

NDT did me little good. I would barely get free T4 to the lower end of the range and free T3 would be in excess of the upper range. Basically, NDT has too much T3 and not enough T4 for my condition (Hashimotos). TSH remained elevated as a result. My best results came when we started on...

To be honest, HRT has helped me tremendously...not so much from the standpoint of erections, but from many other quality of life aspects. I no longer suffer from brain fog and can concentrate at work. I now sleep like a baby and wake up fully refreshed every morning, with no form of pain and...

Kick that doc to the curb and let Defy help you out instead.

You know, I had this one PE teacher in high school that pretty much had no filter. He once told us boys: "Fellas, you may not be able to hit the bottom of the barrel...but you can bang the hell out of the sides!"

Why I no longer get to visit nude beaches...

You know, it's funny all the "gauges" ladies use for potential partners...like the length of their fingers, size of their feet and so-forth. What gauge do we have? Maybe the size of their nostrils! It's like, "She's cute but damn she could snort a plum!". Hah!

I'm 58 and have been on TRT for the last 8 years. Connected with Defy back in 2017 because of testicle atrophy and they put me on HCG at that time. All good now! To add insult to injury, I have Hashimotos - have to take T4 and T3 meds daily to keep that under control. My PCP does all the...

Oddly enough, I just kicked a urologist to the curb and transferred my TRT to Defy (they were just helping me with HCG). Urologist wouldn't prescribe HCG at all (hence the reason I reached out to Defy). Urologist didn't know enough to check E2 and other important metrics - just relied upon...

Defy Medial comes to mind. They have routinely called in prescriptions to my local pharmacy. They're in Tampa, FL and I'm near Dallas, TX.

We both took 10-11 units.

Not sure what's going on with you, but I know I have Hashimotos. Both of my thyroid antibodies were seriously elevated, FT4 a little low and FT3 a little low (both were in range though). TSH was seriously elevated (17+). Doc tried the NDT med route, but it wasn't working too well. Nature...

I can't speak for the other 20% that it hasn't worked for. I can speak for who it has worked for though. When the wife comes up and says "here, take this shot and let's have some fun" - that's all I need to hear.
