Not sure. But I’ve also heard that most Hashimoto’s patients are low on testosterone. My TPO antibodies score was 103 before I started TRT. Just took another TPO antibodies test to see whether or not my TPO antibodies lessen since starting TRT. Should get results in the next day or so.

From my understanding PC is androgen-dependent. Having low T would deprive a tumor and cause the tumor to shrink, thus lower PSA. Introducing high T levels will cause a rapid saturation and increase PSA. But sure, it could be prostatitis and BPH. But I’d take the advice of your urologist.

The only HCG I ever seen in my store is the one shown on GoodRx website (white/green box). Just go to GoodRx and search HCG. Then click on "Brand" to see the different brands and what their packaging looks like. You can also modify quantity and strength when applicable. The box has had the same...

I managed a CVS for 15 years. The only brand I’ve ever seen on the shelf is the HCG brand in the white and green box 10000 units. On GoodRx it’s 104 bucks. I've used it before and it's good stuff.

Thanks for your input sir. Gonna take this test at tomorrow.

I have a doctors appointment on the 23rd. What other tests should I get before that appointment? So I will get an RT3 test. But what else? Should I get a thyroid antibodies test or anything else? I want to have all my tests done before I see the doctor. Also, do you need to take the T3 in the...

Can anyone tell me what T3 uptake means? I took a TSH test and it was 5.20. I then took a complete TSH test a week later and my numbers are as follows: Free T4 Index (T7) 2.7 - Range 1.4-3.8 T4, Free 1.4 - Range 0.8-1.8 T4 (Thyroxine), Total 7.2 - Range 4.5-12.2 T3, Total 97 - Range 76-181 T3...

I would worry more about it going up. If it stays the same while on test I would retest in 4 weeks. You can get a referral online and test it yourself for almost nothing. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can increase PSA. The causes of BPH is not well understood. One theory is that higher...

You didn't mention your age. My urologist has said sex will not significantly raise PSA (0.1 or 0.2). But anal sex can raise it a lot. If PSA goes up again you should consider stopping test. And I wouldn't hide details from the doctor. On a side note, I've had big jumps in my PSA. 10...

My doctor never explains to me what free T actually means so I don’t no if that’s good or bad. But 411 seems fine to me. I used clomid many years ago and it made me feel horrible. I’ve taken T injections and they are amazing but I prefer stable levels daily with cream.

Thanks for the info!

TRT can be a little expensive. But it would be very affordable if I can use a GoodRX coupon. Are these coupons legit or a gimmick? I seen a coupon that would save me $274. Anyone have trouble using them for test?

My test levels are low for many years. Most likely because of my past steroid use. That was a long long time ago. Certainly cream is not as effective as injects. But personally I thought that my Testim results were great. Just way too expensive. My problem is that I don't know much about...

I've tried AndroGel and Testim. I broke out in a rash with AndroGel, probably because I would leave it on to long. I don't recall what my levels were while on the Testim but I've been working out my whole life and could see the results. To answer your question, I don't remember what my test...

So if the brandname of Testim is 1% gel 150gm (30 x 5gm tubes). Should I ask him to write a 1 month supply of a 157gm tube?

Hello. I’ve taken brand name Testim 1% before cuz I would get free samples. But now that the free samples have run out I would have to buy it. However it’s way to expensive (like almost $400 without insurance). Are there cheaper versions? I was considering going to a local compounding pharmacy...
