OK, according to the tracking my medicine should arrive tomorrow. I plan on doing my first shot tomorrow PM. This will make my shots Tuesday PM and Friday AM. So I can make my follow up blood tests on Friday mornings, and take my shot of T after giving the blood sample. One last stupid newbie...

LOVE me some blues harp. The one thing I actually learned to play a little myself! Wahh wahhhh! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BEWI0eg_Tk

"Not really sure who you are to say I do not?" I'm just a tired little old man. "I feel bad for you if you don't know your body. Perhaps try keeping a detailed log on how you feel compared to your corresponding protocol and blood work." I know it pretty well. I'm 48. I haven't had my first...

Maybe you do and maybe you don't. You're 24? And you started injecting T at 20? The body goes through lots of changes as it ages even without artificially screwing with important stuff. You started messing with your hormones for no good reason at far too young. You refuse to stop messing with...

Will do, thanks!

Hawthorn berry. My BP was running around 150/95 and up, read about Hawthorn berry and started taking about 3 grams a day (divided into 3 doses) a couple months ago. Dilates blood vessels including the coronary arteries, and gets more blood flow to the actual heart muscles. Took my BP at home...

Or, because my initial E2 sensitive was 26.1, and my SHGB is 31.2, an initial dose of .5mg per week is a good idea? Even without waiting for estrogen symptoms? Also, just in case, what are the symptoms of E2 crash vs high E2?

Or do you mean they just want to put that range as an option in the store, but they will send me an actual .25mg pill? She didn't explain it that way, but that would be acceptable. I was thinking they were actually sending out medicine that they'll only say has between .05 to .35 mg of actual...

OK. But if they prescribe dosages at .1 or .05 mg increments, but they only give out pills labeled "0.05-0.35" that just doesn't make sense to me. If one tenth (or a hundredth) of a milligram makes a difference in the prescription why would they not offer one tenth of a milligram dose...

I also found it odd that when I did order the Anastrozole from Defy it wouldn't let me order an actual .25mg capsule. The store shows a capsule at 0.05-0.35 mg. So I actually called the store to put the order in to tell them it didn't give me an actual menu to pick 0.25mg and they said that that...

Hello, brothers! I found this site just a few weeks ago and I decided to jump in with both feet and contacted Defy. Completed the initial phys/blood work consult and got accepted as a patient. Basic backstory is in my first post in the "Introductions" forum...

Those boys ROCK!

...anything goes... Found this jam recently. I love it, but I have sort of an odd taste sometimes.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i95sEX1YBlA

Just got off the phone with Dr. Calkins. We're gonna start with 70 milligrams T twice a week. 1000iu's HCG a week, and .25 mg Anastrozole twice a week.

Expecting a call any minute for my initial consultation. Wish me luck! Send good vibes.

Anyone know a good PCP or even an endo in central NC who is knowledgeable and cool with HRT? I am going through Defy but was thinking about going to a different PCP soon anyway.

Sweet, good to know, thanks.

According to what they actually put on the results for this test the "normal" range is 264-916. Total Testosterone, Serum 343 ng/dL 264 - 916

Thanks guys! I got an appointment scheduled actually before I started this thread. Didn't realize that they had already charged the card. I feel better though knowing I have a good chance at HRT. And if not, I don't want to start HRT anyway if it's not a good idea for me. Took 500 bucks to find...

Yes. Copy/paste from my post in "introductions" forum, 12/18/17: I'm 48, short, fat, and out of shape. I'm 5'6" and 230 pounds. I've fooled myself for too long. A couple of years ago I stepped on the scales at my doctor's office and it read 245. I said to myself "now I HAVE to do something...

Just had my initial tests done for Defy. Don't really want to pay another $250 for the initial consultation if these numbers don't give me a good chance of getting HRT. What are the chances? Testosterone,Free and Total Testosterone, Serum 343 ng/dL 264 - 916 Free Testosterone(Direct)11.8...

Testosterone,Free and Total Testosterone, Serum 343 ng/dL 264 - 916 01 Adult male reference interval is based on a population of healthy nonobese males (BMI <30) between 19 and 39 years old. Travison, et.al. JCEM 2017,102;1161-1173. PMID: 28324103. Free Testosterone(Direct) 11.8 pg/mL 6.8 - 21.5...

So does that T level, in and of itself disqualify me from HRT form Defy?

Just got my labs total T = 343 ng/dL, free = 11.8 pg/mL. Total cholesterol still high at 248 but down from 283 tested in September.

BP was 140/88. Not bad for 6 PM?

Blood drawn and physical done. Now the wait.

Gracias amigo! Pero hablo muy poco espanol.

Thanks for the welcome! Taking this afternoon off from work. Getting blood drawn at Labcorp and then an appointment at my PCP to fill out the physical exam form.
