    How should I start on shots?

    Thank you. My doctor explained the shots have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease vs creams but on people that may already have possible cardiovascular issues like narrowing of the arteries. If this is the case how can one know you can safely start? I am 45 and have always had high...

    How should I start on shots?

    How does dosing from shots and compounded cream compare when it comes to dosing? If the shot is 100 mg you get 100 mg correct but if the cream is 100 mg you only absorb 10% or so. Does this mean you only absorbed 10 mg out of the 100 mg?

    How should I start on shots?

    I will try the 50 mg twice a week for a few weeks and first see what the labs say before I make changes.

    How should I start on shots?

    Well just got back from dr office. I'll be doing 50 mg twice a week. I never have done it before so the nurse injected the first dose today at the office. The 29 gauge 1 inch didn't hurt at all in the thigh. I'll do my second dose at home on Sunday. Wish me luck!

    How should I start on shots?

    Thanks I read the comments but I'm not sure I'll be able to test 3 days straight. What's the correct protocol with a doctor's lab order for 6 weeks, test a week later or three days after the shot? Or are we saying I need to test twice in one week to really know what it's doing if it's weekly...

    How should I start on shots?

    If I inject every Monday that means when I do labs I need to do it 2 to 3 days after the shot is given? How does that work in knowing how high the T gets? Example if a inject on Monday's and test 3 days later it will be higher at that time vs if I check it 7 days later correct?

    How should I start on shots?

    if I do 100mg once a week. How quickly will T drop before the next shot?

    How should I start on shots?

    Man I was hoping to do once a week or at least twice a week to avoid so many sticks. It's not for a few months but lifetime you know.

    How should I start on shots?

    I may start on shots because I am tired of applying the cream and to avoid contact with others at home. Is 100mg of Cypionate a week a good place to start or is 50mg twice a week better to avoid peaks and lows and to avoid getting a high E2? My current SHBG is 15.

    Concerned about labs

    Just keep and eye on it. I couldn't wait a month to retest. I got my dad's meter since he's a type 2 and after two hours of eating yesterday mine was 101. This morning fasting 92. This makes me feel better. I'll still get retested in a month especially the a1c. You should check the a1c too.

    Concerned about labs

    Thanks for the advise. I will repeat them in a month or so and be well hydrated then. Now on the urea nitrogen BUN. Can I continue my Whey protein or stop for a month and see what it shows?

    Concerned about labs

    I don't see those products having many carbs and if they did it's like everything else that has carbs and shouldn't be a reason for your numbers. I would get retested.

    Concerned about labs

    Are you taking any meds or supplements? That can sometimes raise glucose.

    Concerned about labs

    I completely forgot to drink the night before and only had that glass the morning of my labs. I've had A1C tested back in 2015 and it was 5.9 which is high. At that time I weighed more and my glucose level was 95 or so then. I don't understand why it's over 100 this time since I've lost...

    Concerned about labs

    Yeah be careful as anything over 99 is considered pre diabetic.

    Concerned about labs

    I drank a glass of water prior to labs and fasted for 10 hours at least. The renal numbers are not alarming I guess. What's alarming me more is my fasting glucose level of 104.

    Concerned about labs

    If my total protein is fine on my labs. Can the protein intake still be the cause for the elevation?

    Concerned about labs

    If you don't mind me asking. Has yours been high before?

    Concerned about labs

    Guys do I need to be concerned? I had labs done a week ago and for the first time my urea nitrogen BUN was 27 and normal is under 25. My BUN to Creatinine ratio is 28 and normal is below 22. My creatinine alone is normal though 0.97 and protein total normal 6.6. I have been lifting weights for...

    Muscle and weight

    I see what you mean. The handheld BMI device says I have 26 % or so at my real settings with weight, height and age yet when I added a different height, weight and age as a test it came up completely different. It really measures nothing. People might as well go off a BMI chart because that is...

    Muscle and weight

    People have said I have lost weight but my BMI is still the same or increased some. Is there such thing as losing weight yet the BMI stays the same?

    Understanding weight loss

    Today I tried a shirt that wouldn't fit at 160 lbs but fits when I was 168. Now I'm 174 and fits a little tighter around the waist. How does this make sense? If the shirt didn't fit at 160 and fits at 168. Why would it be tighter around 174?

    Understanding weight loss

    It's not the shirts that stretched for sure because when it originaly did not fit it sat in the closet for a long time and after that I tried it on before washing it and it fits now.

    Understanding weight loss

    Yeah the shirts fitting is a PLUS. Let me ask you something. Is there such thing as lifting weights while not having much if any muscle growth and yet composition changes?

    Understanding weight loss

    When I weighed 163 some button up shirts did not fit at all. Now I weigh 170 and those same shirts fit really well. My overthinking or confusion is why do I measure the same then and now yet the shirts fit now with more weight? If its body composition shouldn't the the scale remain the same only...

    Understanding weight loss

    I am working out but from home. I have a bench and leg extensions and dumbbells. I do push ups too. I normally do 4-5 sets with 15 reps 100 lbs benching and 40 arms, curl etc plus Bowflex Max Trainer for cardio.

    Understanding weight loss

    Ok so i just measured my chest, arms, waist and its still the same as over a year ago. The shirts fit better but the weight hasn't decreased I understand about the body composition but if I'm changing shouldn't the measurements be less or more vs stay the same?

    Understanding weight loss

    Well not necessarily lean but big. It takes lots of calories and protein to gain muscle size. I've wondered how the can get huge with such little protein and calories.

    Understanding weight loss

    This may be the most dumb question ever. How come guys in prison are really buff and lean when they lack protein or do not consume as much protein? Plus I am sure they are on a calorie deficit since they have scheduled meals and I am sure do not eat as much.
  31. W

    Understanding weight loss

    Yes makes sense. I guess that is why I still weight 169 lbs after lifting and cardio for 14 months now. In the past when all I did was cardio and diet the scale would drop. Shirts fit better now including one from 20 years ago that never fit even at 155 lbs but fits at 169 lbs.
