Thank you. I am looking at the liquid melatonin @Nelson Vergel has discussed in other threads, and using 1 ml of it when I wake up. I pretty sure my mild prostate issues are trt related. I inject MWF, and today on Sunday morning, I woke up with zero irritation or inflammation. It’s been that way...

So I just finished week seven, and it’s been a more positive than negative right so far. The positives are I do have more overall energy. My weight is dropped from 210 to 198, I’ve put on some good muscle for seven weeks worth of workouts and I’ve lost a good bit of belly weight. The OK has...

As I continue to work my way through the first month, I am trying to troubleshoot side issues. My blood pressure calmed down and is consistently in a good range. My new issue is that the past four or five days, my prostate has begun to bother me. It is slightly inflamed and feels a little...

It’s now down to 131/71. RHR is 68-70 as well. Hoping it’s just my body going through another adjustment in the first few weeks.

How many of you had their blood pressure and heart rate increase randomly when starting trt. I’m on my 4th week and I’m getting increased blood pressure and resting heart rate issues the last two days. BP was 144/88 just a few minutes ago, and my resting heart rate in fluctuating between 78-88.

I hear you. Thanks for the insight. I also have an increased pulse rate and headaches off and on. I assume this is normal as well.

Bump Took my third shot on Friday. After a quick libido boost, it went dead and has been the last couple of days yesterday and today I’m much more irritable and moody, energy is pretty decent. I know it’s early but I’m already wondering if 120 a week is too much of a starting test and I should...

I wish it was. I almost always have been low carb, was off of it for about 6 months. I wish that is why I'm waking up.

Update: I am two shots into my protocol (40 ml Monday and Wednesday Morning), I decided to go down to 120mg to start vs. the 150 Defy suggested. My provider agreed that it was ok to start lower. I know it's beyond early, but I had a few things I wanted to run by you vets to get feedback on. The...

I also am thinking about pre-filling my syringes for the week on Sundays. Reasoning is I have two small children and mornings are quite hectic. I’d like to be able just to jump out of the shower, inject and move on with my morning. Anybody here have any experience pre-filling syringes, or...

Meds and supplies finally came late yesterday. I’m going to start Monday to begin with a full 3x/week regiment. I let them know I am going to start at 120 a week, not 150.

He told me that he was requesting them in case I needed them, but he didn't feel like that I would. I was suprised it was that many tablets. I ordered a few to keep in case, but not that whole amount. He even said if I got to the point where E2 symptoms kicked in, to contact him and he would...

They put 30 Anastrozole tablets in my cart. Do I really want 30 of those things?

My console went well today. He suggested 150 mg a week broken up into MWF injections to keep my free T over 20, and my E2 in range due to my lower end SBHG. I asked what he thought about starting at 125 a week. He said that would most likely put my trough at between 600-700 and my FT trough at...

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree to hope to start out between 100-150 a week as well. My blood count numbers are high because I was on iron supplements for over a year to drive my iron levels back up after a continuous bleed. I just stopped taking them three days ago. Normally my blood numbers...

After years of trying other methods, and dodging going full go, I am finally starting a TRT regiment very soon. I finished my intake in my labs with Defy, and I have my initial consult on Monday afternoon. Looking forward to getting a full rundown of what they think of my labs. After looking at...

My triglycerides are good, 94 fasting a month ago. Fasting glucose was 97 back in the spring.

I ate dinner around 6, took the iron a little before 8. I am taking 10000 IU of D a day because it was very low pre TRT. Up to 53.1 after 4 weeks of supplementation.

I ate dinner around 6, took the iron a little before 8. I am taking 10000 IU of D a day because it was very low pre TRT. Up to 53.1 after 4 weeks of supplementation. I don’t have an A1c score.

Ok. So I took two tablets (36 mg each) last night before bed to start because they didn’t arrive from Amazon until around 8PM. I was up half the night with diarrhea. Any suggestions?

How long did you do the 250mg a day regimen before you tested your ferritin again?

I posted it with my initial post under labs before TRT. IT WAS AT 44.3 before TRT

Thanks for the advice. What brand do you use?

I have an internal hemorrhoid that bleeds somewhat regularly and o need to get it taken care of. He did suggest o take an iron supplement. I haven’t started one. Any amount you guys suggest? I have my follow up on Friday.

So finally after years of suffering from low T, I decided to start TRT last month, I chose to go with bioidentical pellet therapy to start based on the doctor and his background and knowledge of of hormone therapy. I had 9 200 mg pellets inserted 34 days ago. I just got back my 30 day labs and...

Does low Ferritin cause low E2?

Checks to see if muscle fatigue and poor exercise performance is affected by it.

So this is the first real comprehensive lab panel I have ever gotten done. I go back and meet with my doc to review and start on Thursday. I wanted some thoughts and feedback on what you guys see. Thoughts on supplementation for Vitamin D and Iron, as well as any others you would add to HRT...

Did you use Berberine? I would like to use something natural to lower my LDL.

My scan results are below. Best 99 bucks I ever spent. Definitely nice to know I have a score of zero even though my ldl is high. No statins for me right now. Addendum ADDENDUM REPORT: 05/02/2022 16:14 EXAM: OVER-READ INTERPRETATION CT CHEST The following report is an over-read...
