I just read though this thread, and I am confused. I apologize, but can you clarify something? What was the diagnosis from the ER? A bilateral DVT, and problem with your aorta, or edema? A DVT is very easy to see on imaging.

Yes I am going to stop it and see how I feel. My E2 was in the high 40s last blood test. Just slightly elevated. I remember back abut 7 years ago when I was on the gels my E2 was up in the 80s and I had no negative side effects.

Also; my Prolactin level is higher then normal at 27.5 but if I recall correctly It has always been elevated

I have started to suffer with ED this last month. I'm 55 and currently on 100mg Test C weekly (50mg twice week) and 250 units of HCG twice weekly same time as test C injections. I also recently started anastrozole .25 twice weekly a couple weeks ago. I never had these ED issues until recently...

I like that set up, the 1/2 inch I use seems a little too short to hit the muscles and I am 35 pounds overweight. May I ask where you are finding the 1ml syringes and 1" 30 gauge needles? I inject 50mg or .25 ml of test twice a week. On the .5 ML syringe there is a .25 line to make it easy. On...

The syringe is .5 ml and loads very fast. In like under a minute

OUCH!!!!!

I use a 30 gauge 1/2 inch insulin syringe for my HCG and started using the same for shallow IM in thigh. The NP at my doctors office said the needle was too thin and could potentially break. Anyone else using same needle for IM injections?

So on Friday I went to my family doctor for an unrelated issue and had bloods drawn. Hematocrit 49.5 Not sure why such a big difference from one lab to the next. AST was 75 On Tuesdays labs AST was 21 Crazy

Yes 250 units twice a week. I added the HCG for testicular shrinkage. I inject same day as I inject T

3 weeks ago my Hematocrit came back at 57.5. I donated blood immediately and just drew lab again last week and I was at 53.2 normal range is 40 - 54 for this particular lab. RBC 5.7 HGB 16 Two months prior in March my HCT was 55 and I then donated blood.. Im concerned because I can't donate...

Yup she is going much better since she added in the estrogen. It took a little time but now it seems to be working. The T by itself wasn't doing anything for libido. Adding in the estrogen and progesterone seems to have made the difference.

Maximum of 4 clicks on the T. She is doing 2 clicks and that gets her into a good range on labs. I believe each click of the topiclick is 3.75 mg.

Thanks so much NiteOwl! Its great to hear this firsthand from a women. My wife is doing the estrogen cream (on the arms) along with testosterone and progesterone. She is a little older than you. Would you mind sharing your lab values?

My wife has been on topical testosterone therapy now for abut 5 weeks. 7.5mg of topical cream (2 topic licks) daily. She just had bloods done and results are: Total T: 94 (normal is 8 to 60) Free T: 1.3 (normal is .06 to .87) Estrogen: 49 Estriodal: 21 Progesterone: 1.5 Obviously total T is...

This week I started doing what I believe is "shallow im" in the thigh using a 1/2 inch insulin syringe. I say this with a question mark because I am not sure if I am getting past the fat and actually in the muscle. I do push it in a little so as to dimple the skin, and I try to flex the muscle...

How high/low for these symptoms to manifest?

I suppose even if your not lean, 1/2 inch should get you into the muscle. And if it doesn't, it just goes into the fat

If you go shallow IM in the outside thigh with a 1/2 inch insulin pin do you still need to aspirate? Surely there ar blood vessels I/2 inch deep?

Damned if I do, damned if I don't. lol

Im not sure actually. I will check the bottle tonight

I need to figure out our to do that, I am overweight so there is more surface fat then muscle. Not sure if I could hit the muscle with a 1/2 inch needle

FSH is .07 from .01 LH I read incorrectly, its actually .02 from .01 and Prolactin is normal (always high0 for the first time in years. Again, I have no idea what if anything this means.

At trough, on injection day just before injection. Both times. In the morning

It really doesn't make sense. Its the same dosage. It might absorb more slowly, but eventually the same steady blood levels should be achieved. As a side note, something that's really odd is, my Prolactin is normal. Its been historically high for the last 10 years. This is the first time it came...

Last month my total T was 800. My protocol was 80mg weekly Test Cyp divided in 2 doses with 250 units HCG twice a week. I switched to sub-q injections, same exact protocol except I increased the HCG to 350 units twice weekly. Had blood draw Monday. After being on this protocol for 4 weeks my...

That was the day before my blood donation. As soon as I got the results I ran to the blood bank.

Any sides from the 50K dose? Did you feel better after raising the levels?

My vitamin D was low at 24. The doc phoned in a high dosage 50,000 IU to be taken once a week. Just curious if anyone has tried this and had success.

I was reading on Dr. Google, higher values indicate more likelihood to form clots.

I noticed my PMV (platelet mean value) runs on the high end. I just donated blood yesterday btw. I looked back on past labs and the PMV is always up around 11. I haven't spoken to my doctor yet, but I was just wondering if I would benefit from a daily baby aspirin. Labs are attached
