I am just wondering, if you had no low T symptoms, great libido, and were strong, then why in Gods name did you jump on? What was it about TRT that you did it for you?

I believe your math is off. Correct me if i'm wrong but I was curious myself as that is in fact A LOT of holes 53 years left (you're est.) 52 weeks in a year (about), 3 shots a week = 156 shots/year 156*53 (years)=8,268 shots in his life which is even more. This is nuts when you think about...

Expiration dates are put in place as a liability. Any manufacture will tell you not to use it because it is "expired" as was stated above. This is nonsense Take a read https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/drug-expiration-dates-do-they-mean-anything

Blood work???

All it did for me was raise my TT 59 points. I dealt with insomnia, hot flashes, irritability, lethargy... I wound up coming off and going on injections. If you are going to go on it, I hope it works for you.

You're welcome!

I use goodrx for mine. I get the 10mL vial for $43 from Walgreens. Make sure you pick a pharmacy that doesn't have the "est price" (estimated price). CVS is one of these pharmacies that will charge you more because they say the price online is just that, estimated. Try to stick with walgreens if...

I felt great the first week, then it was all down hill. 25mg is a low dose. A lot of doctors start people off at 50mg/ed. 25mg too high? Perhaps. However, if 25mg/ed only raised my TT 59pts, anything less certainly wouldn't have helped. I believe this means my issue is in the testes and that's...

I believe, because clomid has such a long half life, 3 weeks isn't enough time for your estradiol to come down. Yes, it's a little high but it is not going to get any higher at this point. I'm sure it was even higher when you were on clomid. Time will bring it back down. How do you feel?

Are you experiencing any sides? I was put on 25mg ED and by the second week, i had horrible insomnia, hot flashes, irritable, and zero libido and erection. Went through that for 6 weeks only to have my TT jump 59pts. I eventually found a great doc and started on T along with hcg. Just had a...

Where are you located?

I have been doing this with HGH for the past 5 months. Takes me 2 minutes first thing in the morning. I can't stand pinning ED and am trying to avoid it, if possible, at all cost.

I don't believe I've asked this but what would be the down side of a larger single injection dose? Say 150mg-200mg/week? Wouldn't that raise my TT in the trough? But that might also tank the SHBG too, correct?

Thank you for this. I will discuss this my doc this thursday. Instead of 100mg 1x/wk, try 50mg 2x/wk? Would that be a good starting dose? I will definitely not be doing IM at twice per week, subQ for sure with hcg mixed in to minimize the injections. As for daily, I am hoping it wont come to...

Fortunately, I don't have a fatty liver or diabetes (not prone as of now) I am on hgh for the past 5 months prior to even being on TRT. I am using it for therapeutic doses for back pain as well as the many other benefits which I probably should have said from the beginning. Could this be...

Also, my free t is 2.2% of my total t which I've read is considered optimal level. Looking for any other input

Actually, although it was always low, but within normal, I faintly remember doctors saying that its ok because my ldl to hdl ratio was perfect, that my hdl number was a non issue. I will make an appointment with a cardiologist though. Thanks again for pointing this out. As for my E2, its far...

I did not even realize the cholesterol issue, thanks. No, I am not on any meds or any low fat diet. I do intermittent fasting daily but my cholesterol has never been an issue. Whats the reasoning behind the low shbg issue?

I thought a lower SHBG was good and so was a higher Free T The SHBG is binding less and there is now more Free T roaming around waiting to be used and not being used up by the SHBG. This is wrong? Wouldn't just a higher single dose of say 150mg/wk raise the trough TT? From Nelson's Blood Test...

Hey guys, My labs just came in. They look OK but wanted some thoughts before going to see the Doc. I am very anxious. Just a few things stand out: 1. My T3 uptake is slightly elevated. Normal from TRT? Interpretation? 2. E2 is at 32, 3pts higher than before starting TRT. I don't believe a AI is...

Alright, bloods just came back DHT LC/MS - 14 (16-79) so it's low. This was never tested before starting trt so is it safe to say it was even lower before? I am also guessing the hair issue may just be from shock of hormones as was suggested earlier. Aside from that, I have been reading the...

Pre fill a bunch of syringes with the hcg and add some extra air and throw it in the freezer. No potency loss. Keep the remaining amount that will last you the 60 days in the vial in the fridge

Someone is misinformed. The gentleman I spoke with when I was inquiring about defy said they can electronically send a script over but they charge for that. I believe it was $20.

Tbh, something like this should be asked to a pharmacist.

Good thing you asked! You are welcome.

100iu=2mg 50iu=1mg 25iu=.5mg 12.5iu=.25mg 6.25iu=.125mg Somewhere between the 6iu and 7iu line, closer to the 6iu line. They are extremely small. IMO, good luck with trying to get it exact.

Fancy PM'ing me his details and location?

I wasn't looking for it at all. I seen it when I went to put my shampoo bar away after rubbing in atop my head and seen about 20 hairs stuck to it. Aging? I doubt it. Too coincidental that clomid was initaiated 3 months ago, then switched to trt 6 weeks ago and this started happening.

Is anyone in your family known to have any hair issues? If yes, then that would explain why you experienced it. In my case, no one in my family has ever had issues with their hair and I have a huge family. What do you mean by this? Thats crazy you started losing it within days of starting...

You are 100% correct about people on the boards saying TRT wont cause hair loss unless you are prone, which clearly I am not and you, possibly. I guess I am just trying to figure all this out and fine someone that is 100% not prone to hair loss that actually did experience it. To much...

You say I will know soon enough if what I am dealing with is Telegen Effluvium. How so? I didn't know you were dealing with issues with your hair. Was this something that started once you began TRT or is it something you dealt with before? Does male pattern baldness or thinning run anywhere in...
