Frustrated by latest results
Are these trough? Fatigue can often be completely unrelated to hormones. For example, I have narcolepsy, so TRT has done nothing for my sleepiness and fatigue.- johndoesmith

I'd lower test a bit. That's pretty high, and often, more isn't always better.- johndoesmith

Estrogen at 4 but still getting bloat?
Diuretics are pretty serious drugs, and shouldn't be recommended for something such as water retention from TRT, which is most often transient. Especially without any more information, such as diet changes, or knowing how long OP has been on TRT for. If it's NOT from the TRT, then random...- johndoesmith

Estrogen at 4 but still getting bloat?
Imgur.com You're going crazy man, because this isn't an Estrogen problem most likely. You cannot fear Estradiol, as it is an important hormone, I'd say even MORE important than testosterone for men. Testosterone at 600 or 800 is nearly the same, but E2 at 25 or 35 can make a gigantic...- johndoesmith

Estrogen at 4 but still getting bloat?
Bloating isn't always from Estrogen. I think you're suffering from Estrophobia. Common symptoms include: reports of fluctuating feelings day to day with transient lab results, excessive bathroom scale usage, constant palpation of pectorals, posting of random numbers purported to be hormone...- johndoesmith

Defy - Insurance covering bloodwork
Some bean counter somewhere determined what's medically necessary and what isn't. Problem is tier 1 phone reps do not have access to that information. They eluded to it, even mentioned that there's a list, but they're not giving it to me. I very bluntly asked for it, with cpt codes and...- johndoesmith

Defy - Insurance covering bloodwork
Oh sure, I tried that, and it contradicted itself in multiple places. When I called support to ask them about it, they denied everything in writing, would offer me nothing in writing and basically said "that's up to labcorp" and would mention nothing relating to fertility was covered. They...- johndoesmith

T + HCG affordability and cost
For that cost you can go to defy medical and have all meds taken care of for that price, either get cheaper hCG or go to q compounding pharmacy for hCG.- johndoesmith

Only need one or two more small tweaks. Looking for suggestions
How did making small changes work out for you before? I'd give it time. 5 weeks is nothing. Absolutely nothing for any kind of steroidal hormone related changes, especially since your levels ONLY stabilized last week. Let the hormones work.- johndoesmith

Is my body adjusting?
If you feel better once you stop taking your iron with your thyroid, then I'm wrong, and I'd rather be wrong in this case. Did you stop feeling better once you started taking the iron?- johndoesmith
