Low E2 can cause excessive urination, as well as excessive thirst. When my E2 was low, I had to urinate every hour almost, and it'd feel like an emergency every time. The thirst was probably the worst part, I would wake up so damned thirsty every morning, drink about 32oz of water, run to the...

Then it's pretty apparent that this is not testosterone/estradiol related, as you said the same protocol has given you benefits, and now it doesn't. Something changed since then and now. The only thing I can see is that you have not had all of the thyroid tests ran that many claim are...

So you've only had the one Sensitive test, with all of the follow up tests being the standard assay? It's difficult to figure anything out based on the standard assay, which is probably adding to the uncertainty. Being honest those symptoms do not seem to line up with low E2, more in line with...

Have you had a Sensitive Estradiol test ran? I only saw one E2 test and it was a standard. Summarize your current symptoms, looking back at some of your posts, it's not exactly very clear what they are.

The early refill time is based on your dose. So with my dose, 140mg per week, or .7mL that means 10mL/.7mL = 14.28 weeks. That's how long my dose should last me theoretically, and I believe you're allowed 1 week early. So I can order every 13 weeks. The pharmacy is responsible for this, same...

There is no "shipping lingo". I mean, it is rather common to not include weekends for all things involving businesses such as bank transfers, insurance claims and responses from companies.

Like Vince Carter said, overnight ! = next day. It has always meant next business day, and that is more UPS/FedEx than it is Defy or the pharmacy. https://www.ups.com/us/en/shipping/services/domestic/overnight-delivery.page

Right, Labcorp arbitrarily changed the range back in July due to a study done by the CBC. It's essentially moving the goal posts. I believe there's a comment on here from Dr. Saya where he says he does not use that new range, he relies on the old one, as nothing in the testing methodology...

You look like a good candidate imo. 343 is pretty low. I think they use the old labcorp range that starts at 348.

Prescription monitoring database. It's to prevent doctor shopping of controlled substances and its federal law IIRC.

That can be anxiety caused by thinking about gyno. Unless you have tests from your time without AI showing high E2 levels I wouldnt add it in. You're just going to experience the side effects of too low of an E2 level but like most guys on here, you're probably going to fall into the "I need...

Total estrogens is clinically insignificant for men, as it tells nothing of value. I'm not sure how to explain this properly, as there's not a single TRT doctor that uses it. Your estradiol, the hormone that matters, is undetectable. AI is a bad idea at your levels. You probably don't even...

Why would you have to use AI? Your E2 is crashed naturally, if you're coming to that conclusion based on "estrogens", don't. That's a useless test for men and has no clinical relevance.

I think vince carter may have confused you, as it's obvious he intended to say "primary hypogonadism" instead of "secondary hypogonadism", but you have a very clear case of PRIMARY hypogonadism. In essence, your testes have failed, your brain is flooring the gas and your testes simply aren't...

Probably the most clear cut case of primary hypogonadism I've seen posted online before. A doctor that prescribes hCG in response to those levels is not one familiar with treating men with hormonal issues.

I just leave it blank. Some insurance companies require it for filing a claim I think. I've never been asked for it when I've left it blank on medical forms though.

Yeah I would look into the enforceability of that contract. I can't see how a contract stating you must continue to pay for medication is conscionable, seeing as due to the nature of the treatment, there may be a medical reason forcing you to cease. Now if that's the case, your doctor will be...

Low E2 can cause bags under the eyes for some guys. Your report that it's lower than it normally is coincides with that.

I am with you on that, I had my first diagnosis at 17. Narcolepsy. There's definitely an adjustment period where you have to come to terms with it, and it's not much different than the 5 stages of grief when dealing with loss of a loved one. I can say though, that of all my diagnoses...

Lol you can't run those without a test base. This is the wrong forum for what you're trying to do.

Even that could be pretty expensive, you'd probably know better than I would, what's a CBC on your EOB?

Honestly you're just going to have to play the game of trying to get a rep at your insurance company to give you a straight answer. Even then, their answers aren't binding, so they not pay the lab, and the lab will bill you directly. In that situation, there's no one to help you, the lab...

You've got to check with your insurance to see if they'll cover labs written by an out of network physician. Essentially if they won't, you're stuck with the bill for who knows how much. My new insurance wouldn't tell me if they'd cover labs or not, they said the only way to know is to try it...

With Defy you're looking at roughly 100-120 a month. Yeah you won't have insurance cover it, but you've been working with insurance and that hasn't been working that great so far. The old adage of "you get what you pay for" certainly applies.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but how does one "feel" hCG working better?

I've had similar happen, although it's not illegal in my state, the tech was just confused. He asked if I was originally from Florida so I explained why I used telemedicine and gave a good complaint about "those damned insurance companies" and of course he joined in. Most medical people will...

I can understand that, but I imagine like any medical provider's office, they have a charting system with all of your health information in it, including your Anastrozole dose that they cross reference these orders against prior to sending them.

At that time I had maintained that protocol for 6 months.

If you're unnaturally suppressing your production, then you can possibly naturally increase your testosterone. If not, and you have an undiagnosed medical condition, then no.

I had my levels tested on each day of my injection protocol. https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?9607-Tracking-T-and-E2-Levels-Over-an-Injection-Cycle
