    Would a 5/8 insulin needle be ok for deltoid injections?

    If you are relatively lean a 5/8" may even be considered a "hybrid" IM/SC injection. I am now using this same needle to administer Cyp/HCG combo twice per week. I like it a lot better than once per week IM with a longer needle! I am going to post my labs shortly

    11 Month Old Nandrolone Prescription...Can I still fill it?

    Hey Chris, I think he means he has an actual prescription which he never filled from 11 months ago. Nandrolone is a controlled substance so it must be filled within 6 months of receiving it. It may even be 90 days, at least for some of the controls. Aside from the laws, ultimately it is also...

    Anyone using the BD Precisionglide syringe with slip tip?

    There are a few good company's who sell syringes online. One of the companies around the longest is GPZservices.com. I have not used them in years but still see them mentioned. The 1ml luerlock can be hard to find. Most pharmacies we use dont carry that specific syringe so we order it from...

    Does Modafinil Work For Energy?

    I took Provigil while in the military years ago. At the time they were unmarked white tablets which we somehow found out later what they were (Modafanil). They definitely worked as a "wake" drug, it made staying up all night feel like middle of the day. I did not have a problem sleeping on...

    Anyone using the BD Precisionglide syringe with slip tip?

    I wouldn't use slip tips. Switch to the luerlock 1ml syringes. In addition to difficulty changing needles, you also risk an improper seal between the needle/syringe which can cause leakage from the syringe, or air to enter the syringe during injection. I am also using Nelsons suggestion, for...

    Blood tests after coming off TRT

    Good morning tbone. Sorry to hear about the roller coaster ride you have had to experience. It can be especially frustrating when your doctor is also unsure. First and foremost your protocol for coming off TRT was incomplete. You should check labs during the HCG and SERM (tamox) use to see...

    HCG questions with product images

    Good morning Mocha Thank you for reaching out, hopefully I can be of assistance. My questions: 1. What is the ideal HCG weekly dosage and frequency? Usually TRT doctors prescribe between 200iu-500iu 2-3 times per week depending on the person. I would say the average dose is between...

    about a month in

    Like Tom said, definitely go with the twice per week dosing. Even once per week is much better than every 14 days. Test cypionate significantly metabolizes within one week so you need more frequent injections than every two weeks. Check out this thread on administering subq test cyp...

    about a month in

    Is it just me or does anyone else experience soreness after injecting test cyp into the abdomen sc? I prefer shoulders or quads. Every time I have tried the stomach I get a painful lump that lasts for a few days. Tried both grapeseed and sesame oil

    Anyone on HGH therapy?

    You are right, rHGH is indeed very expensive. Years ago we could obtain compounded rHGH for around $3 per iu which is very cheap. HGH became the focus of attention during the big MLB baseball shake down, resulting in the increase in regs surrounding the prescribing of HGH. Sources for...

    Dr Saya has been working with Tri-Mix patients lately so I thought Id ask him. Here is the answer I received: Yes,will not prevent PE, but should still maintain erection. For most guys whosuffer from this problem, it is not necessarily the PE that bothers them, butthe subsequent loss of...

    How Compounded Estriol Cream can help get rid of wrinkles

    The following is an excerpt from an article entitled Bioidentical Hormones: Why are they still controversial? One reason that facial skin “shrivels” as we age is that our normal hormone production markedly declines. To make matters worse, blood microcirculation to our skin is reduced as we grow...

    Two Menopause Studies state HRT Aids Cognition After All

    Two very different recent papers come to a similar conclusion: cyclical, physiologic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may aid memory in postmenopausal women. One paper found native progesterone, as it is in its natural state cycling the body, helps memory early post-menopause. The other paper...

    Tremor

    I would not worry, your tremor is more than likely unrelated to taking testosterone. you mentioned noticing this when experiencing muscle fatigue which might be the more likely source of your symptoms. Many guys start working out more or harder when they start testosterone, so your muscles may...

    Article: PCT post Testosterone Therapy

    This is an example of just one protocol, since there really is no "one way" to do it. This has proven a very effective foundational protocol for Defy, but of course every patient is different and therefore treatments are individualized as needed. TRT: EndogenousRestoration protocol for Men...

    Article: PCT post Testosterone Therapy

    First and foremost, imo 14 months is too short of a time to assess the benefits of TRT especially with Nebido since its so long acting. It may take that much time for your doctor to get you completely balanced. In addition to not receiving a "complete" treatment you may have thrown in the...

    Bad bloating from pregnenolone/dhea

    I also like to mood benefits of pregnenolone and dhea, especially the preg. 250mg DHEA is indeed too high, normally 30mg-50mg brings levels within a good range. Considering your decreased your dosage of dhea down to 5mg, I do not believe that's enough to elevate levels to the point of having...

    My (summarized) story

    Good afternoon Matt I can relate to your story. I have been on TRT since I was 27 years old, and previously was on/off hcg to help stimulate production. The difference is I had taken anabolic steroids at a young age (19) and did so until 24 years old. There is no way to determine if my low...

    Different types of injectable testosterone (esters)

    The most common forms of injectable testosterone include Testosterone Cypionate, Testosterone Propionate, Testosterone Enanthate, or a compounded 'blend' of different types. I do not like testosterone "blends" do to irregular release patterns especially with once weekly injections. Always...

    Men's Use of Oxytocin

    Much like herbal or nutritional supplements, Oxytocin can work for some and have no effect in others. Some people have reported experiencing subtle content to overall euphoria with the nasal spray. Others have felt nothing, or at least anything worth reporting. The differences probably depend...

    Effect of a single injection of testosterone enanthate on 17β estradiol and bone turnover markers

    This is very interesting, I would also like to read the entire paper. It would be good to see if there is predictability in how men will respond. Although AIs are over prescribed in our world there are definitely some men who need an AI due to a significant spike in E2 along with slow clearance...

    Gel and injection combo

    Like Gene stated you will need a bit more titration, but eventually you should be able to find stability. When I worked at the pharmacy I got to speak with a handful of guys who did the cream/injection combo. Most to help with DHT after long term finasteride, and others maybe because they...

    hcg monotherapy vs hcg and test when trying to conceive

    Jimi- I just wanted to add that I got my wife pregnant while on testosterone and HCG, and had been on TRT for 5 or 6 years prior. I have never actually tested my sperm count and we were not trying to conceive at the time. I have worked amongst TRT patients for many years and have witnessed a...
