So let me ask the question. What is a good protocol? Like I said 200mg every 5 days i feel is too much. I don't have any issues doing injections (eod, 3 days a week, every 3.5 days it don't matter). I actually like better than cream. That said I don't care if injections or cream, I just want out...

My first visit to this clinic, pre-trt labs. Estradiol was 14.8, I was <5 twice over the last 10 months. Anyways, latest is they wanted to add an extra 1mg pill to my protocol along with change in how many pumps each day. Total estradiol was 28.9 and Dr's excuse was wanting to keep me closer...

Ok well that's good news glad to hear it. Again should have never thought about TRT. Regardless of who I went to (I've read people complain about TRT that go to defy too, seems AI is given there too!) I can't live my life as good as I could before trt so might as well just stop taking it and...

Btw time frames above may or may not be exactly right, the months have ran together. 3 weeks ago was when I got blood work and that was 8 weeks after change to two pumps of 300mg a day. I go next week for another blood draw to see if switching to alternating from 1 pump one day to 2 pumps the...

Ok, 41 year old male no real health issues. June 17th 2017 I was put on TRT. I've posted about my experience a few times. Would things be better with better dr/clinic I'm sure it could be but it is what it is. Clinic has crashed my estrogen because they insist on giving me anastrozole compounded...

-0 if that was an option. Wish I never started.

I can get out of contract, Dr can discharge me for medical reasons and in which case no $, if I choose to walk away, it will cost me a certain percentage. Why I can just jump in with defy. Pay to get out of this stupid thing and pay $250 to defy + labs + copay at Dr to get physical I just don't...

In all honesty I feel no difference after giving blood, so I've never thought my hematocrit was issue. What gets me is my estradiol being so low. In August it was <5, then after injecting 200mg of testosterone and .25mg of anastrozole (all prescription I've got are compounded, except when first...

Thanks. Yeah, I have learned that it takes time and it is not immediate.

And another thing. I was told switching to cream would stop issues with hematocrit rising. When they checked after my last donation it was not this high. Ugh

Last time I took 1mg anastrozole pill was Saturday 11-18-2017 and my estradiol is 5.5? Seems crazy to me, don't really feel good, thought I wasn't flushing water out of my system as bad as a couple months ago but apparently was just in my head.

Ok. Side note: if you try to edit your post here it instead gets deleted. (Using mobile site on android) Anyways, have not took any extra anastrozole since last post and went last Saturday for labs, blood draw was ~1 hour and 20 mins after applying cream. Got results yesterday. Total t 472...

Yes, $300 down payment + $173 a month for 16 months. ($3,000 +) my issue here is I can't afford Defy right now. They (universal men's clinic) put you in contract, to which I can get out of, just not for free. Defy I believe (I emailed them) $200 to start plus. I will as soon as I can. In the...

I have to agree with you here, Dr is an idiot, I feel like an idiot for falling for them to begin with. I will stop taking pill weekly. Yes, .137mg adds up to 1mg per week. Thanks for reply

Sorry for confusion, I was not on trt in 2014 when I had test done and was told I was slightly anemic and if iron supplementation didn't help with fatigue that I was experiencing then low t would have to be looked at. I started trt June 17th 2017 when I went to universal men's clinic for first...

Im 40 years old, no drugs or alcohol use let alone abuse or prior "steriods" before June 17th 2017 when had my first visit. I do exercise regularly, however, didn't before August 2013 since about 1995 or so. Ok, two parts to this post. 1st is quick and simple, any future person looking to go...

Ok well I hope i don't have more trouble ahead. I did what I could do with what I had available to me.

I am getting away from them, want to get out of contract as cheaply and quickly as possible. Says I'll have to pay for services and meds I've recieved and 20%. Well 13 injections (11 recieved in mail, 3 I've used +2 at office) 1 lab, and initial consult. Already paid $473, total for 18 months...

I didn't know at the time and already signed up before I knew. Yes, well the "patient care Coordinator" (doctors assistant) told me that he prescribes estrogen blocker to keep body from turning all new testosterone into estrogen, then when I took first shot and a pill, they told me when I get...

Answer might be correct, and I appreciate it, however, like I said, short term. Since I've already done my injection for this week and AI is compounded in it, I've got at least another week to deal with dehydration etc. That will likely worsen over next week.

I agree AI is problem, but in short term, what can one do to counter low e-2? In regards to dehydration. Read salt and water are expelled so eating more salt isn't going to help.

Ok will do I appreciate it.

Thanks again for good news. I fell for the whole testosterone clinic thing, thinking they would be best choice. Will find another Dr, actually just switch to Defy, but can not at moment, contract and already out $, can't really afford to pay more right at the moment until I can get out of this...

Yes on being more thirsty and urination. Still enjoy things, no hot flashes, and so far no joint pain.

Thank you for response btw

Ok. 200 mg test cyp and 1 mg AI compounded in single pre filled syringes (know AI and pre filled is not that good from here but stuck at moment). I left out to get an unbias response. I drink lots of water and stay away from pop or sugared drinks (Gatorade here and there). What can I do to...

Ok, started TRT June 17th, supposed to do weekly injections, did 5th this morning. Anyways, feel better at gym (more strength, endurance etc.) Way better sex drive, however, ability to get and keep erections, if anything is less (reduced sensitivity). On top of this getting frequent headaches...

Should also say I ate low carb for duration of weight loss. Wasn't several years.

Thank you for the info I appreciate it.

Tulsa is about 40 miles and OKC is about 70 miles. From what I gather here, defy medical is Skype/phone consult along with Labcorp lab test/or sending results from other clinics.

Thank you CoastWatcher, I live in Oklahoma, and honestly didn't know who to go to. I knew some Dr's from other people, but they were doing monthly shots, and I knew that was bad so thought a clinic would be best. Anyways any recommendations would be appreciated. The more I know the better.
