I have not tested my prolactin in a few years but this problem was exisiting before I started TRT (One of the reasons I started TRT) Prolactin was always in a normal range when I did test it. I have a long thread on here somewhere with my whole story. LOL But in a nutshell....My Sensitivity...

I had similar problems that you are having with your E2. I reduced my HCG from 250iu twice per week to 200iu per week and my E2 dropped significantly but so did my T and FT. I then increased my T and it came back up and the E2 went up as well but I was no longer in the upper 60s and low 70s...

Thanks Nelson, He already has an account with them. That's where he has been ordering from for me for the past 2 years. I read about the HCG regulations last year and thought it might be an issue in the future. The future appears to be hear now.

Well, That's not a problem for me but last time I told my Doctor I needed it he said that they stopped carrying it and his other source had also stopped carrying it. But reading here, it appears they are still carrying it. My Doc said that they didn't have it listed any longer for sale. He...

Thank you. So is there a difference between Ovidac and Pregnyl etc? I was unable to find a link to online-pharmacy-group but I do see many places carry this. I have always ordered from Empower/Local pharmacy for everything I use for TRT. Are most online places safe? LOL I know dumb question...

Hey Nelson, Where can I find HCG now? I see it on GoodRX and it says it's sold at Safeway, Walgreens etc for around 110 but when I call these places they say they cannot get it. Are we out of luck now?

I have been injecting 200mg HCG twice per week for about a year now with good results. I had to cut the dosage back because my E2 was sky rocketing. Problem is now I cannot find the HCG anywhere. I started a thread on the subject and any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried local...

OMG , this is so true! LOL

Hey guys, Been a long while since I posted here. Things are going OK on TRT but now that I cannot get compounded HCG looking for pharmacy sources now. I have called several places and no one seems to carry it. Any ideas?

Thank you. Yeah been reading about dosages of anastrozole. I certainly don't want to crash my E2 either. That's what started me on this crazy "adventure" I think my last reading before starting T was 11. Had been like that for years is my guess given the symptoms for years and years. I...

I just jumped back on again to ask a similar question. Since my T increase to get my levels out of the 500s my E2 has sky rocketed again into the 50 and 60s. My ED has gotten worse again with the need (almost always) for Viagra generic. The bigger part of the problem is penile sensitivity and...

Hard Plaque vs. Soft Plaque. "The notion that soft plaque is more likely to rupture and cause heart attacks than hard calcium deposits in coronary arteries may be wrong, according to the new study that was presented at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions in Washington D.C. on...

Had my calcium heart score done and received the results the same day. Doctor email me and said I scored a perfect score of 0%. The test results say I am at a very low risk of heart disease at this time.

I would urge everyone in their 40's or order to get a calcium heart scan done. Heart scan (coronary calcium scan) - Mayo Clinic Mooseman, your post has prompted me to use my script I got from my Dr last year and get it done. I was prompted last year when someone I know who is fit as a fiddle...

Wow, Glad you made it! Most are not as lucky as you are with that kind of blockage at that location. Hope you have a quick recovery.

I did ask him, his answer was the same as above so far. He has not had a chance to discuss in depth with me yet though.

I have an update folks. ANY comments are GREATLY appreciated. At this point this is sooo crazy. Does anyone have an ideas for this? Or at least where to look? Increase in creatinine started right around the time I started TRT and/or HCG. So basically my kidneys appear to be working...

Before TRT I had virutally no sensitivity at all. My E2 was in the toilet. TRT has provided *some*sensitivty. It seems best when I am between 30 and 40. I did lose sensitivity and ED was worse when my E2 got near 70. Once it came down everything improved. This happened via lowering of E2...

My low T was causing problems. The problem was my low T and E2 were causing me to have wild mood swings, memory loss among other things. I was snapping at my kids and my wife over little things and she was really getting upset over it.

I rotate EOD in my upper thighs SUB-Q with a 30 gauge 1/2" insulin syringe. I usually use an area about 8"x4" and just hit that general area.

Everyone is different. As you read on my thread, I was taking about 100mg/week and WITH HCG at 250mg twice a week I managed to get in the upper 700s. Since I cut back on the HCG my natural products has plumeted. I lost over 225 off my TT values and my FT was almost cut in half.

This is just my humble opinion, but you need to find a Dr that will work with you to get you were you need to be health wise. It sounds like your gonna be fighting this guy every step of the way. Even when you have someone working with you, this TRT is not super easy to dial in. :)

Its possible that if you space your shots out too far your gonna crash before your next injection. 100mg/week is doable. I did it for over a year. I felt best every other day. I started with twice a week injections.

100mg every 10 days? This does not sound like a good plan.

Update for the day after my second increased dosage injection. My trough day yesterday was better then Monday for sure. I felt much, much better. Today is worse then yesterday but not as bad as Monday was. I am still having some hot flashes but the muscle aches and pain have subsided...

When I said it was not worth the risk, I meant reusing needles and not applying alcohol before injecting. Just to clear that up. :) Sub-Q works for me and has since I started almost 3 years ago.

Geeze, not worth the risk if you ask me.

Quick update to keep track of my changes. Yesterday morning I started on 126.5mg up from about 105mg/week EOD schedule. Today I am feeling it. Hot flashes and flush with some sweating. Muscle aches and some joint pain. I am going to look back earlier in this thread but I feel like this...

It is a 24 hour collection. It will measure the amount (if any) protein in the urine and the ratio. Here is a definition:

Just turned 48. I can only comment on what I have read but each year we lose about 1% of kidney function as we age. The normal value for my age is I think in the 90s still. 70 is where a 90 year old man would be. I'm glad to hear that your values increased some over your low point. Its...

Interesting, I never really thought much of it but the same thing happens to me as well. But I seem to remember this happening before I went on TRT as well. Back when I wasactually functioning normally. I am on T and HCG. My HCG dosage is quite low though.
