    Beginning a new TRT chapter

    It's a 25 gauge 5/8" length. It really was no big deal. Eventually I would like to also be able to inject this one myself, but one step at a time. My wife has no problem jabbing a needle in me. I don't know why I'm such a baby about injecting myself although I did do the HCG shot myself...

    Beginning a new TRT chapter

    After calling many places, I finally finished the process of selecting a new TRT treatment provider and decided to go with Defy.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
