    Glutes-SQ or IM

    I'm using a 29g 1/2inch needle for my testosterone injections in my glutes, upper outer quadrant, is this considered sq or IM, I don't have a ton of fat there but was hoping is was still sq, my love handles and stomach areas seem to be sensitive to the oil so I try not to inject there. Thanks

    Is hcg necessary?

    After starting trt, my testes shrunk to an embarrassing size, I'm married and have had an vasectomy so I'm done with kids, but for my own self confidence, I had to ask for HCG. My insurance won't cover it so I pay out of pocket, my vile usually last 2-3 months with 250 eod. I've tried 500 2x per...

    Shoud I start Adex?

    I inject 80mg every 3.5 days, 160mg per week. I inject Sunday evening and Thursday morning, the lab with the Testosterone was taken on Tuesday around 4:00pm, basically half way between injections, probably closer to my peak. The latest E2 was taken on Saturday morning.

    Shoud I start Adex?

    somebody wanted the rest of my labs, that was my most recent from 11/20/17, he didn't order the E2 and when he does, he doesn't order the LC/MS/MS so I do it on discountedlabs. The E2 that showed 18 was a few days before the rest was done, I stopped and retested again, only the E2 about 5.5...

    Shoud I start Adex?

    I'm on .4 (80mg) of test cyp e3.5d, was taking .5 of adex 2 times per week, felt bad last month so I check E2 with sensitive test, came back as 18 (8-35 from labcorp). Rechecked almost 6 weeks after last Adex dose, I am now at 39.5. My question is, am I high enough to take a smaller dose (.25 2...

    Half lives of testosterone, hCG, anastrozole and clomiphene.

    That seems pretty quick for E2 to come back to a steady state after stopping AI

    Half lives of testosterone, hCG, anastrozole and clomiphene.

    How does this apply to checking E2 after stopping Adex? I stopped Adex and wondering how long I should wait before checking levels.

    HCG 250 or 500

    I'm grateful he's prescribing me what I need but he also said to take adex 4 or 5 times a week.

    HCG 250 or 500

    I'm guessing he would be ok with it, I'm prescribed 1000iu twice a week, that would get expensive and seems excessive.

    HCG 250 or 500

    I wasn't sure if there were benefits of taking a higher dose less often, as far as I know what I was doing seemed to work for me, just didn't know if it would work better.

    HCG 250 or 500

    I don't take it for fertility, only to preserve size of testes. They shrunk up without it.

    HCG 250 or 500

    I've been injecting 250iu eod of HCG with my trt and seems to work fine for me, I see a lot of people do 500 e3d, in the end it's the same amount per week. I would assume that eod would keep a higher level than e3d. Should I switch and why? Thanks.
