    Decoding SHBG and primary vs. secondary

    For my own knowledge, usually peoples SHBG goes up a little after starting TRT correct? I guess for some it can lower it? I know My PSA was 2.7 pre trt and now its 1.1 . Normally it goes up a little too after starting trt but in my case it went down to a healthier level for me.

    is 0.25 mg arimidex twice a week too much ?

    I'm new here myself but I think more info would help others help you. How much T or you doing a week and are you doing it with one or more shots? You testing your E with regular or sensitive test? You taking HCG? If so how much a week? One dose or multi a week? HCG cause E spikes. Whats your...

    Sleep apnea and RBC, Hemoglobin and Hematocrit numbers

    Thanks guys for the advice. I will be looking into a sleep study to put it to rest. I don't wake up during the night gasping for air or feel like I don't get a good night sleep but my wife does say I snore. I'll look into finding a place to go to and update the tread with the outcome.

    Sleep apnea and RBC, Hemoglobin and Hematocrit numbers

    I've asked this question in my intro thread but never got it answered probably because I ask a lot of questions so some go missing. I've noticed my numbers before starting TRT and since being on it have stayed about the same. Am I right to say they are on the high side of ok? Or are they...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Thanks Vince C. Do you take it once a day? Did raising your ferritin raise your RBC, Hemoglobin and Hematocrit #'s? I'm been reading more on all this stuff and Ive heard a couple times you treat the low iron and the ferritin will follow. Is that true? Can Ferritin be targeted by itself or will...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Here are the complete labs. I see some things or still missing but at least I found more information. Will this be enough for Defy to work with? Do you guys have a better idea of what my problem is? Hashimotos as Vince mentioned? Found additional Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies test with a high...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    I was afraid you were going to say things were missing. I gave that 24 hr clinic the list you said and this was what I got back. I seem to have little luck with this. I forwarded all my labs to Defy yesterday and they were looked over and okayed to make my consultation appointment this morning...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Just picked up labs. Sent to Defy. Waiting to hear back if they have everything and I can make my consultation appointment soon. In the mean time here are the newest labs. They were taken right before my Wednesday 3pm test shot. I did not fast though. Am I right to say my RBC, Hemoglobin and...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Fixed it lol. I started the process finally. Got the physical done and sent back to Defy earlier this week. Yesterday I was able to get my blood work done which worked out great cause I got it done in the afternoon right before my 3pm Test shot. So I should see what my actual FT and TT levels...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    I did call on Monday. The new patient coordinator was very knowledgeable and helpful. He explained everything clearly. The only possible problem may be that I live in ny. He said he couldn't guarantee I wouldn't run into a problem with the blood work being done in ny. He said LabCorp may try...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Thank you for all the info. I checked labcorp on goggle, there are three very close to me woohoo. There's actually a few all over Long Island. I don't see why my PCP dr would have a problem. I'm totally fine by phone only as well. I checked price difference and their is a savings switching over...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Unfortunately I live in the state of ny, Long Island to be exact. Here we can't be trusted to do anything without supervision, permits and fees. Apparently i have just learned that includes getting blood work from the sponsors you mentioned. I think I will be calling Defy as soon as I have...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Nope. I spend $430 for just the stuff I listed. I did pay $400 to join too. I get free office visits and consultations though lol. Sounds like I don't really get it for "free" when their banging me over the head for the gear. Personally I'm only using them for the gear at this point cause I'm...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Not to get side tracked. But since you mentioned Defy, if I was a member of theirs would they have handled my thyroid problem? Would they do all these test you mentioned without a problem, and prescribe me what I needed? TSH Free T4 Free T3 Reverse T3 Antibodies (TPO & TgAb) Iron TIBC Ferritin...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Thank you SO MUCH for getting back to me Chris. So would you say I should see a specialist in the thyroid field to do further testing like you mention? The reason I ask is I compared these numbers to lab numbers I got from my PCP in Oct of 2017 (before I started TRT) asking to test my...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    The NDT is a prescription right? I just realized before, this website has a thyroid area so I'm going to start reading up on all of it at lunch. I did a quick google search and notice over the counter supplements. Are any worth a try? Should I look into a list of foods that would help boost...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    FROM OTHER THREAD I thought I felt fine on 180mg a week but as I mentioned missing that dose opened my eyes to the fact I may be better off at a lower dose. Now that I have been on 150mg a week for a week Id have to say it confirms what I thought, I still feel better on the lower dose...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    I thought there may be members in the blood check forum that may not check out the introduction area. Sorry if that's not allowed. If one needs to be deleted I guess the blood one would be better to delet.

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    I'm back. The blood work day got pushed back do to a snow storm. So I went in March 27 for the blood work. Just got results back today minus the sensitive estradiol results which we are still waiting on. I know I said at the time I would lower my Test C amount per week more but ended up keeping...

    E3.5D vs M W F injections

    Monday Morning Wednesday afternoon and Friday night are evenly spaced out shots every week. So keep the dosage the same every shot. If you want the OCD answer (which I like lol) I do Monday 7am Wednesday 3pm and Friday 11pm which is perfectly spaced out every week. Personally I don't think a...

    Conversion info for going from 3ml to 1ml syrings

    60 was the wrong number was thinking 180 a week but its supposed to be 160 in three shots now. So I need 54mg of TestC so I would look for the 27 mark on the syringe correct? Thanks again

    Conversion info for going from 3ml to 1ml syrings

    I started with 3ml syringes. My RX script was for taking 1ml (200mg TestC) once a week. I started with spacing that does out in half. So I used to bring it out to the 1/2ml mark for 100mg of TestC. Later I brought my does down to 80 so I would go to the mark before 1/2ml. Now that I'm looking...

    New member......First Injection of T

    Hello new member here myself. I'm not going to bother reading the blood test cause I'm still learning all that stuff but being on a 100mg once every two weeks is a big red flag to me. Your going to have a high peak then your going to crash before you next shot. It'll be like that over and over...
