    Is HCG Causing My Anxiety?

    Being you are at Defy, you can call and get Lab scripts when ever you want them. I've called and gotten a set of Labs just because I was feeling good, I wanted to know where I was for a reference. I dont know your situation, but my insurance covers my lab work, so it doesnt cost me a dime.

    Went in for my hepatitis vaccination, accidentally gave me testosterone!

    Kind of what I was thinking as well. I am however curious at the SHBG being called low @ 18. What is the cut off that makes ones SHBG truly low enough to benefit from EOD or ED injections? 18 is 7 points above the low of his ref range, mine is 6 points above the low ref range, thats why I am...

    GABA - 500mg Nightly or more?

    It was suggested to me to start taking GABA 500mg nightly to help with me sleep. I had bought, and taken GABA before, but never really dedicated myself to it. One of the reasons is I read that GABA does NOT cross the Blood Brain Barrier, therefor what use is it was my way of thinking. Do any...

    Hallandale Shipping Time

    I ordered on Sept 5th, and on the 6th got a email about Empower being out of stock. I advised that Hallendale will be fine. On the 7th I got in touch with Defy to let them know Empower was back in stock (learned this from Facebook messages) and asked if its not to late to switch back to Empower...

    No Prescription HCG

    It was said that using a Credit Card @ Reliable Pharmacy is not a good idea. For those who have ordered from there, did you use a Credit Card or a E Check?

    Cheaper to get testosterone from compounding Pharmacy or local Pharmacy?

    Yeah one of the RN's there told me to take a Cortisol swab within 30 minutes of waking up. Once the results came in, I get a call from Dr at Defy who tells me I shouldve done the swab at 8 AM, not 3 AM when I woke up. smh disclaimer...I still think Defy is Great!

    Hurricane Irma and Defy Patients

    Its probably all in my head then. lol I also keep it in the fridge, on the shelf so it doesn't get swooshed around when the door opens. Another thing that is more than likely a non factor.

    Cheaper to get testosterone from compounding Pharmacy or local Pharmacy?

    I find that difficult to believe, as Defy uses Empower Pharmacy and they are located in Texas (Houston). So if a script can be wrote to Empower, why cant it be wrote/used at CVS/Wallgreens? Either way it will cost you nearly the same amount, for me its easier to let Defy ship it to my home.

    Hurricane Irma and Defy Patients

    Spoke to Empower yesterday around noon central time. HCG is cleared for shipment, and no longer back ordered. I feel Empower is the better of the two pharmacy's, only part I dislike about Empower's HCG is all 11,000ui are in one vial. Hallendale uses a 5,000ui and a 6,000ui for a 11,000ui...

    No Prescription HCG

    so dont use a CC to pay, but use the bank "E Checks" instead, this is safer? not being sarcastic, it is a serious question. Ive had my CC # stolen before, it sucks!

    Hurricane Irma and Defy Patients

    Empower told me they have resumed full operations as of yesterday (Facebook message). However HCG is on back order with Empower. I am having mine sent from Hallandale, hopefully they get to my order in time.

    No Prescription HCG

    On the reliablerxpharmacy.com website, is ZyhCG brand the correct one to order? Is the money saved really worth the risk of quality, 11,000ui is $85 for me currently (includes $15 for UPS Ground shipping). Buying 5+1 for $80 at reliablerxpharmacy looks to be a great deal, IF the quality is top...

    TRT & Swelling: Understanding and Managing It

    I am somewhat swollen from TRT, had a Cortisol test done recently and the results are on the low side. A build up of Cortisol may cause swelling, but not in my case. My E2 is around 40, but TT at trough is 1000, FT ar 24.5 (labcorp ranges).

    Possible adrenal fatigue and high cortisol, but want to work out

    Want to point out that I was given incorrect timing schedule for taking swabs from someone over the phone @ Defy. The correct times should be 8 am, noon, 4 pm and midnight. You can deviate a bit, but make sure they are done before eating and or brushing teeth. even though I swabbed at incorrect...

    Anyone familiar in Cortisol? I have labs - swab x4

    Just wanted to provide a update... So Melissa and Dr Saya looked at my results. They are readable, and I am taking a significant drop by 11 am, meaning my peak is coming earlier than it should. I was recommended to take RLC Labs a-Drenal to help get my system back in line. ERO has also provided...

    Anyone familiar in Cortisol? I have labs - swab x4

    Then why was I told to take a swab within 30 minutes of waking up? I didnt make that up, lol. If the times are not generic, all people waking at 7:30 - 8:00 am is true then? I just dont understand why I was told to take within 30 minutes of waking instead of 8 am if it is that critical. And if...

    Anyone familiar in Cortisol? I have labs - swab x4

    No, they didnt say take a swab at 2:45. They said take a swab within 30 minutes of waking up. for me that was 2:45. Logic would seem that if one is waking up at 3 AM, then a swab at 8 AM would not read the wake time levels correctly. I really hope its not messed up, the test didnt cost me a...

    Anyone familiar in Cortisol? I have labs - swab x4

    I was instructed to take swabs within 30 minutes of waking up, before lunch, before dinner, and 1 hour before bed. How would a spike be read if you dont take it at the time of wakening? Also what about those who work PM type shifts and live life on a whole different schedule. Them times are...

    Anyone familiar in Cortisol? I have labs - swab x4

    I took the swabs as directed, within 30 minutes of waking up, before lunch and so on. I am waking up around 3 AM for months now, wide awake! If I try to go back to sleep I end up tossing and turning. Only after being up for a few hours am I able to wind down enough to go back to bed. By then...

    Do You Workout?

    Those who use Resistance Bands, I've been looking to buy a good quality set of them. When I search Amazon or Ebay I am not quite sure what to look for though. What will a good set cost? I'm looking to put on some upper body muscle and strengthen my core muscles. thanks in advance

    My latest Labs are located http://imgur.com/2lCG21o I think everything looks OK, my E2 could be a few points lower at around 38-40 but I am not having any real high E2 symptoms. I am fasted for these, not even a black coffee, I wanted to be fairly accurate. I also did a Cortisol Swab X4 but...

    New to Anastrozole

    To me it sounds like WAY too much anastrozole. The 1mg should be broken into 4 pieces and take a total of half per week. Thats .5mg per week, not 1mg every other day! anastrozole is powerful and with E2 of only 44, you are surely headed for a crash.

    Just how vital is DHEA anyway?

    Can I ask what your DHEA level is with taking the 25mg? I imagine like Test, when supplementing DHEA our natural production stops? Probably why mine has went down to 65, due to my on again off again relationship with it.

    Just how vital is DHEA anyway?

    Gonna give a little background here. In Jan 2017 I signed on with Defy, they tested my DHEA and said I was low. I was put on 25mg once per day of DHEA compounded from pharmacy. I took the DHEA every morning, and couldnt figure out why I was tired all day, switched the taking it in the evening...
