I've been using Douglas Laboratories brand Preg with great results for months now. 25mg in the morning and 25mg again in the late afternoon. This last week I started taking two pills in the morning instead. To see how I felt with a larger single dose. I like it more. As I was surfing around on...

My update: Since my last post here, I've continued my daily test injections but found small daily doses of HCG were no good for me. My balls started to hurt, loads got smaller and I didn't feel as happy. So I went back to 350iu shots M/W/F. After feeling this was the combo I'd stay with I...

Haven't been on here in a while or I would have liked this a lot sooner. I agree with everything you said. I was worried about going local for these exact reasons. Thank you for the check list. Luckily after a few days of not being on the ndt the tiredness went away finally. I'm still able to...

From my week on a lower dose of preg and dhea I notice the feeling of wellness went down a little. Remembering the preg was what gave me that feeling, this week I decided to go back to 50mg a day of preg but I will be staying at the lower 25mg dose a day of dhea. I agree with Vince that I can...

I goggled and saw this exact thing. Only one I have is irritability. I'd assume that's being caused do to me feeling overheated, drenching cloths and throwing money out the window. Not excessive selenium. I agree I don't know whats considered too much either and no ones chiming in. I figured to...

I'm using them for TRT and to correct my thyroid problem. The thyroid I feel I'm running around in circles wasting money with them. I've mentioned I may have a adrenal problem which is causing my thyroid med problem. Their response wasn't reassuring.

Well yesterday morning was my kids first day of school so my mind was was all over the place and I forgot to take my NDT. By the time I noticed it was 10am. Leading up to that time I wasn't sweating as much and felt fine which had me wondering what was going on and that's what made me remember I...

Thank you for all the info. I will keep everything the same for 3 weeks and order that saliva test and get my DHEA-s re-tested. I'll also reach out to Defy and explain my plans and make sure they can and will help with whats needed if the results show I need additional stuff. The PA for...

Good to know, thanks. I agree, I was worried about increasing it cause something is going on and felt raising it may make things worse. Should I wait to do the saliva cortisol test intill I know what dose of DHEA and preg I will remain on? As I mentioned in the other thread you are helping me...

Well with the new protocol of daily test shots of 20mg and the 350iu's HCG m/w/f I don't show any water weight, bloating ect. That's with no AI. BUT I don't have raging hard ons when I wake up in the morning though anymore and I'd say my libido has gone down. I really didn't think about my E2...

Thanks for the info

Was her libido bad, okay or excellent before? My wife seems to be running on empty this last year and her libido has suffered also.

Interesting, I responded to you in my thyroid thread and noticed you mentioned getting my cortisol tested. Looks like I should definitely look into it. Does DHEA lower cortisol levels??? I know I read DHEA can effect cortisol levels. Maybe I'm taking too much? You feel 25mg each a day is okay...

Your wife also takes 25mg of DHEA? I heard DHEA in women works great because it converts to testosterone so they get a bump in test numbers but you need to be careful with dose for them. I heard women usually only need 5 to 10mg. Did your wife feel a positive difference? Did she have labs done...

I understand, I'm taking two 30mg NDT pills in the morning when I wake up on a empty stomach with 400mcg of selenium. I take all my iron supplements before bed. I never did a cortisol saliva test. I live in ny so online sites will not ship here and I'm tight on money. I have recently found...

Update: I have continued with the preg and DHEA with good results. Been completely anxiety free. Which I have mentioned in this thread or another that my anxiety was starting up again and wasn't sure if it was from starting my thyroid NDT treatment. When I started with the preg the anxiety...

Why do you feel my FT4 is still low? Pooling? What would you do? I'm still having a hard time understanding this thyroid stuff. Don't understand how Defy says I'm not pooling. I agree with Chris in post #23 that if I did take T4 to raise it I would think it would raise my RT3. The only reason...

Finally got some results back. I don't have RT3 yet. Either they forgot or the results haven't come back yet. As you can see there is a difference with not taking your NDT before labs. My FT3 is lower. As I have read it doesn't effect your FT4, which looks to be true. I'm "assuming" my FT3 may...

Thanks, Perfect timing. I saw it mentioned in that other thread and was wondering what it was. Was going to goggle it later and saw this!

Check out this video Nelson put up. https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/nelson-recommends-this-is-why-you-may-not-be-happy.15927/ This video really touches home with me. I had a bad experience in my teenage years and instead of addressing it head on I let it consume me and rewire my...

So others with Anxiety have hope, I had bad anxiety when I started TRT and my anxiety went way down after starting and being on TRT. So much so that after I get my thyroid straitened out I want to drop the zoloft totally. I do agree for most "it just becomes the new thing that they fixate on...

"TRT has not and will not do anything to control that aspect of my life" coming from a person who's only been on it a short time. Don't take it as a attack but maybe you had it in your head from the start it wasn't going to help you and you also convinced yourself your dick doesn't work when you...

I was high on being completely worry free with everything lol. . Problem was half the things I were doing had risk. Didn't have the sexual dysfunction problems though. Definitely didn't feel "natural" either. I also feel it was the cause of my low T. I've been on it for close to 20 years. I've...

Is he with Defy? Is he very popular meaning its hard to get a appointment in a short time? Don't like the idea of "having to get your labs done and sent to them before you can make a appointment". DR Sayer was a 3 month wait to see when I asked. I don't want to be discussing old labs and I would...

Sounds like the people your using are clueless. You also sound like a busy guy. If you don't have the time or patience to teach yourself everything about TRT and then have to teach or convince your clueless dr's on what to do why not just go to a place that knows the game like Defy. I wasted a...

Read post #26 for what the PA at Defy said. I don't know what to think at this point as far as how my treatment is going. As you said the thyroid is a complicated thing. I know I ruined my iron levels by my own fault. I figured my main mission right now is to work on building those iron levels...

Fertility is not a main concern of mine but I definitely do not want to shut my balls down. I fill that's just not healthy since they do work. As far as the lower dose goes, I was hoping it would be enough to keep them happy producing the good hormones with the added benefit of no longer needing...

I'm sure it will have a effect on his T levels and other labs. I'd want to have myself on a protocol that has been fixed for at least 6 weeks to get a clearer picture of were my numbers settle on with time. I do understand the point your making though, but I would think the body has to...

If you really want to have a x marks the spot just get a beauty mark tattooed on the spot(s). Girls get fake ones done on there face. I agree with the others though it wont be necessary in time.

No, while I was on your protocol M/W/F 50mg test C and HCG Tue/Thur/Sat 330IU's I was taking .25mg AI Mon and Thurs for a while. I decided I wanted to try and lower it and see how I felt. I felt better with the lower dose of .25 ONCE a week. Technically it would have been wiser to split the...

I had problems logging on as others had and sent a message. You can disregard it since I did the forgot password thing and it worked for me. I like the new layout, faster and a lot of small things changed which I find better too.
