Hello Vince, Yes. I started a new vial two weeks ago. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? ... maybe a bad vial? I will see my PCP on Tuesday to review my labs. I'm thinking that this is going to be one-off and I doubt that he will be concerned. It will probably be 90 days before I do labs again...

Thank you for your reply. I have been on my current protocol for over a year. I do understand what you are saying but a radical drop of 50% in 90 days seems huge to me.

Thank you for your reply. I don't believe that most of what you ask is relevant... no offense. As for number 4, I always do my draw on the same day relative to my injection. No change there. I am a retired engineer (69 years old) so I am very careful to keep track of these things. Again, thank...

I had my labs done last week and my Total Testosterone level dropped almost 50%. My Free Testosterone level also dropped by almost 50%. My PCP checks my numbers every 3 months and everything has been pretty consistent for the past 18 months. I haven't made any changes to the protocol that I have...

Everyone is different. Here is my situation. My wife and I are both 69 years old. We have been married almost 51 years. We are both on TRT and also take PDE-5 inhibitors as well as numerous amino acids and supplements. We also try to keep our Nitric Oxide levels as high as possible. I try to...

According to PubMed, Rezum is a better procedure. Prostatic urethral lift (UroLift) versus convective water vapor ablation (Rezum) for minimally invasive treatment of BPH: a comparison of improvements and durability in 3-year clinical outcomes - PubMed

I am 69 years old. Flomax almost rendered me impotent for life. I was on it for a few years and found it to be a horrible drug for treating my BPH. My PHP switched me to 5mg of tadalafil daily along with 4mg of Terazosin a couple of years ago. The issues that I was having with Flomax took awhile...

They are... of course.

Yes. It took awhile to find a doctor to take over the management of my TRT after my other PCP retired but they are out there. My new PCP is a D.O. but there are a number of naturopaths who will write scripts for TRT from my understanding.

I don't think that a telemedicine provider can write you a script out of state. I asked a provider out of Florida about that and they said they could not. They said I would have to buy it from their pharmacy and have it mailed to me. I can get it here through GoodRx for about 40 bucks for a 10...

At one time I experienced a similar situation. I am 69 years old and my wife of 50 years and I have sex on a regular basis. We have found that keeping our Nitric Oxide levels elevated makes all the difference in the world. Somewhere on this forum is a list of supplements you can take to boost...

69 years old. Height and weight = 5'8" - 178lbs (down 60 pounds since starting TRT 5 years ago and continuing to lose weight). if you dose every 3.5 days, on the days you inject later in the day, does it affect your sleep? Not that I have noticed but I have not slept well in years...

I was prescribed tadalafil a few years ago to treat my BPH. I take 5mg daily. It works better than any other medication I have taken to treat my BPH. And the fringe benefits are nice as well.

I am 69 years old. The thing I have found that helps me the most is keeping my Nitric Oxide levels elevated.

I too use GoodRx since Medicare doesn't cover my Test/Cyp. I pay about $37 for a 69 day supply of 10ml/200mg/ml thru Walgreen. I can get it cheaper at Fred Meyer but there isn't one close to me.

Thank you for sharing that. Out of curiosity, what is your current Progesterone blood level? What was it before you started Progesterone? What condition were you diagnosed to have in order to be prescribed Progesterone? How much Progesterone do you inject and how often? Thanks again.

Is it bioidentical? How old are you?

I started using bioidentical progesterone (available on Amazon) 9 months ago after finding supporting information that it may be good for the prostate and BPH symptoms. I am 69 years old and have had BPH for several years. It has helped to relieve my BPH symptoms. From the internet: "Any man...

So, what would you say should be the amount of protein a 500 pound, 68 year old, sedentary many should consume per day? Please advise.

For what its worth. My RBC and Hematocrit started moving slightly out of range when I started IM injections a couple of years ago. My physician had me start taking 1 baby aspirin per day. That brought my RBC and Hematocrit back into the normal range. My recent labs show that they have continued...

I asked my doctor about this and his reply made much more sense. He said to shoot for 1g per pound of lean muscle. That kind of makes more sense because who would expect a 500 pound fat person to eat 500g - 1000g of protein per day?

Has anyone tried a single baby aspirin everyday to lower hct and rbc? My PHP suggested it to me and it brought my hct and rbc back into normal range and it has bee fine since then. That was over two years ago.

Thank you for your input on this. I started taking 6g of collagen every day several months ago. I am slowly getting better and the collagen seems to be helping. I am hoping that in a couple of more months I will be able to start lifting again. Interestingly enough the pain is often worse at...

My current protocol is 80mg E3-1/2D shallow IM. I have been on this protocol for 18 months. When I started this protocol I was on medication for high blood pressure... no longer on any blood pressure medication. I had high cholesterol when I started... cholesterol numbers are all good now. Some...

Yep. Numbers are all good. At one time I was having a problem with RBC and Hct being a little high but after being on my protocol for several months the numbers have come back down. I also take a baby aspirin every day on the advice of my doctor to help keep those number down. My only...

Thank you for your replies. I am 68 years old and feel great. Lab numbers are all good and within range but my TT is slightly over the high end of the range. My doctor says that he thinks I'm at the top of my class health wise for my age. He does express concern about my TT getting too high...

What are the side effects of high testosterone? If a person has a TT higher than the normal range but has no side effects is that a bad thing? If so, why?

I used Discounted Labs for the first time last week. My experience was entirely positive and I would recommend them to anyone. I often have trouble getting my PCP to order out the tests I want done (maybe it's a Medicare thing... I don't know). This gives me a work-around to get the tests that I...

I will take a shorter life with a higher quality over a longer life devoid of quality!! IMHO

Excellent... a must watch... two thumbs up!!

I had labs done last week. After using PROGESTO-life progesterone cream that I purchased from Amazon as noted above, my progesterone level was 1.6 ng/ml after 12 weeks. I may increase this dosage to see if I can get my progesterone level up to around 3 ng/ml and then see how I feel.
