    Doc prescribed HCG and Test C

    I'm 68, on TRT; of course no kids are in my future (thank goodness!) and I'm pleased that I can keep things simple by just dosing with T. I was, however, also on T for a while 10 years ago, no HCG and when I stopped taking it after about 8 months it wasn't any big deal. To me, getting all the...

    100mg 1x per week vs 50mg 2x per week

    Of course, you're correct, I must remember to include the reference ranges. In checking the figures right now I see that I had 23.4 nmol/L; I got the numbers mixed up. The reference range is 8.4-28.8 nmol/L.

    100mg 1x per week vs 50mg 2x per week

    That was a Total Testosterone result of 24.3 or 701 in US numbers. The only thing my doctor here tests is TT and a CBC. But I can purchase the other tests, which I'll do in July.

    100mg 1x per week vs 50mg 2x per week

    Hello Blackhawk, if it turns out that I need more extensive attention to TRT, then I'll have to go with one of the telehealth services. I haven't looked into that yet, but I'm not sure Defy provides services to Canada? I've always been a good responder to meds. I'm only taking 60mg/week...

    100mg 1x per week vs 50mg 2x per week

    Ha! You are EXACTLY in the same position as me, and I'm fairly new to the whole thing, been taking T for about six months. And how do I explain to my Dr that I've went on my own because I don't feel he is doing the job correctly? That's the 64,000 dollar question, and I don't have an answer...

    100mg 1x per week vs 50mg 2x per week

    I have a physician that has the same attitude as your doctor. You might opt to get private testing at a fee, then work with the members here on the board to analyze the results and act accordingly. Not ideal, but that's what some of us have to do.

    Discouraged with TRT

    I don't know much about it's use for nasal congestion, but I would try it. My parents, from Germany, didn't cook with garlic. When I mentioned to my father, however, that I was eating it together with my son to hopefully cure him, he spoke to me about his father (my grandfather) who was a...

    Discouraged with TRT

    Yes, we got so used to the taste that we started to like it, and chose to continue it whenever we eat mashed potatoes, which is often. My wife will make a pot; once it's done she'll cut up to an entire bulb of garlic into it and then serve. I've read a lot about garlic; it seems to be a gift...

    Discouraged with TRT

    Hi Gman, we found that the mashed potatoes would disguise the strong taste of the garlic; I'm not sure of the quantity that my wife would cut the garlic into, but suffice it to say that we chose to "saturate" as much as possible . . . because we were worried about my son's health. I'm certain...

    Surprising blood results . . . so is this it?

    Hello Cataceous, thanks for your input with regard to my dosing change - I certainly didn't think that a minor change would create such a stir. It's pleasant to know that moderators such as you and Madman are there and available for help; it's a nice change from doctors that don't return your...

    Surprising blood results . . . so is this it?

    Hello Madman, thanks for your considerations, your words as always are very wise. I was thinking about them, especially your minimum 12 week time frame to determine the success of a given protocol. I certainly may have acted with a little haste in reducing my dosage from 70mg to 60mg per week...

    Discouraged with TRT

    The absolute best is chewing raw garlic, thus releasing the compounds directly into your mouth. When my son was a toddler, he would get a cold turning to bronchitis turning to pneumonia, a process that happened routinely and at least 6 times before the age of 4. Each time the doctor gave him...

    Discouraged with TRT

    I'd be willing to discuss it. I've read about bimix/trimix here and it certainly is interesting . . . what reason would men have to replace viagra with the mix? Does it work better? I need the viagra because I've got some compromised blood vessel issues (had a heart bypass 12 years ago, and...

    Discouraged with TRT

    I think Cataceous made a pretty strong argument supporting the concept that the norm of starting us all at 100mg per week is excessive . . . and then when it doesn't work well most are inclined to take more instead of less. I'm still very new to all of this, but I'm drawn to the "less is more"...

    Enanthate shortage . . . and how many doses from your vial?

    That's good to hear; we've had our home made Delatestryl enanthate for so long that I guess users become resistant to change. Have you been using the Hikma a long time? Are you "content" with it?

    Enanthate shortage . . . and how many doses from your vial?

    Wow, pricey, glad the T is covered here in Canada.

    Enanthate shortage . . . and how many doses from your vial?

    Is there a subQ test e or is it just T enanthate by Hikma? I inject mine intra muscular. My Canadian pharmacist still doesn't know anything about a new replacement.

    Discouraged with TRT

    Well . . . it was entertaining. Now where's Gunner?

    Discouraged with TRT

    This was a pretty relevant discussion started by a guy who's discouraged over his TRT use. Don't mean to be a party pooper, but you guys have hijacked this thread with all this nonsense cervix talk . . .

    Discouraged with TRT

    Cataceous, thanks for the excellent follow-up, I have now copied and pasted that response to my permanent TRT file. Very helpful. My apologies; in rereading your original post just now, I noticed that "anecdotal evidence" is high lighted, but I didn't know to click on it, which would have...

    Discouraged with TRT

    OK . . . got it. Not. First, my gratitude to Cataceous for attempting to explain something to the intellectually challenged. Clearly over my head; some of you guys must be serious students (or masters) of science. Some parts can still be understood by the layperson. "TRT suppresses the...

    Discouraged with TRT

    Thanks Gman, I'll wait a while and then contact Cataceous directly if need be.

    Discouraged with TRT

    Hey Gman, that's interesting. I know I need testing. But IF it was as a result of the HPTA shutting down, then is it a temporary issue? How would one counter that effect?

    Discouraged with TRT

    I took Viagra for several years before starting TRT just a month and a half ago. As long as I didn't take too much (75 mg was too much - felt like a log, but 50 was right so I broke a 100 in half) then I never had sensitivity issues, and could sometimes orgasm two or even three times that day...

    Factors that Can Improve Testosterone Gel Absorption

    When you use gels, success is dependent on absorption, and absorption will always be a huge question mark. When you inject the T is delivered directly to its target, bang, DONE. Except for the irrational fear of needles, I can't imagine why anybody would choose gels over injections. The best...

    Discouraged with TRT

    Hey Gunner, I'm 68 and new to TRT; I started with gels which didn't absorb - I then started TE injections April 6. Some recent bloodwork showed that my Total T had increased from 320 to around 700 (in the trough). I inject 40mgs every 4th morning, not a big dose. I write to you because I...

    Enanthate shortage . . . and how many doses from your vial?

    It's a good point Granger, I did in fact give them the Hikma info. Yes, I suppose it's quite possible that the pharms have so many changes in supply that it's difficult to keep track of things. But then I've never been too sympathetic to anybody who doesn't know what's happening in their field...

    Enanthate shortage . . . and how many doses from your vial?

    Yes Madman, your suggestion is where I was headed if my pharmacy didn't work out. I've got a nice supply now, so things should sort themselves out by the time I run dry . . .

    Enanthate shortage . . . and how many doses from your vial?

    Well I got my endo to allow an advanced pickup on some Delatestryl; my pharmacist made it sound like I got the last one in Ontario . . . and doesn't know anything about the Hikma replacement. Another pharmacist (Costco) told me yesterday that he thinks they have some "in storage". He out and...

    Enanthate shortage . . . and how many doses from your vial?

    Granger, I'd like that to be the case, after all I figure the makers of Delatestryl know how to make it after almost 7 decades of doing so. What makes you think it's just a name change vs being made by a different company (Hikma)?
  31. M

    Enanthate shortage . . . and how many doses from your vial?

    Hey Madman, I know you gave us the heads up on this, thanks again . . . I was more flabbergasted that neither the pharmacist or the endo knew of it. It's a fairly major chain, you think they'd have some of the new stuff in stock if it were available. Having the catalogue shots and reference...
