Thanks Vince- congrats on two years. Glad you're at a comfortable cruising altitude these days.

All good- it was my fault for initially posting just the first labs, and not the follow up one after the phlebotomy. Appreciate it!

Hi johndoesmith, As posted before and emphasis added here, what you're seeing was the initial result. Follow up was 46.2. See here: http://imgur.com/a/2PtHV And yes, timing has always been at trough, morning of injection day before injection.

Hah, yeah, thanks johndoesmith- I feel good. Energy is better than before, libido and sex drive are strong. Clear-mindedness and assertiveness are improved. Physically I've gotten maybe a touch leaner and gained modest muscle on a lower volume of training. No complaints. As mentioned in...

Working with Defy Medical. Had my check in recently and was reminded that I haven't posted here in a long time. Fortunately, I'm one of those guys who have responded well and as result, have spent less time thinking about and managing my protocol. I'm 32, 5'11 170lbs. I'm on Test Cyp 70mg...

Thanks ERO-Potency loss is my main concern, though that concern has been assuaged so I will not replace it for now. Appreciate the reply.

Thanks Vince Carter- I agree that it's not significant enough of an expense to fret over. But Nelson has put my mind at ease, at least for now, so I'm going to continue on as is.

Thanks Coastwatcher- I was inclined to agree, until Nelson weighed in, leading me to think its potency is not reduced. So I'll stick with it for now. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks Re-Ride, It's from Tri-Coast compounding pharmacy. No visible clouding or any particulates that I can see. I'm hoping, absed on Nelson's feedback and others, that it is all good still.

I'll consider talking to the doc about that if I perceive any potency issues. Thanks Vince.

Thanks Jackie- the cost is relatively modest and I was inclined to just re-order for the reasons you outlined, but the endorsement from Nelson as to its persistent potency swayed me.

I like to point people toward Mike Cernovich's articles on testosterone and posture and his experiments with using posture to increase his T levels after going off T cold turkey.

Nelson- thank you! If I'm reading this correctly, even left at room temperature for one week, HCG potency loss would be minimal, and it is in fact more stable than sometimes presumed? If so, I will proceed along as is. My main concern was not wanting to have to decipher micro-changes and...

Thanks Re-Ride. I don't see any cloudiness so I suspect bacterial growth is not an issue. I'm not sure what I'd be on the lookout for in terms of reduced potency however- I've only begun treatment late November and have since that time continually been on both T and HCG. I have no idea how to...

Hey guys, Recently refilled my prescription 70mg Test cypionate 400IU HCG each 2x/week subcutaneous- Tuesday night and Saturday morning On Saturday I realized my HCG vial was in my room temperature medical bag instead of the refrigerator where I usually keep it. DAMN! Kicking myself. I know...

I don't know what that means, Vince. What would 25% look like? 100%? I have no point of reference. I'm willing to learn more: do you have any resources you can direct me toward?

Thanks Vince- regarding estradiol: I did have some nipple sensitivity which I asked the doctor about, and which would was noticeable primarily when I was sweating and active. I realized I had been using a topical Magnesium spray, and largely discontinued it, and that seems to have abated it...

Hey TestAdvocate- generally I feel good. I'd say the biggest change is more confidence and assertiveness. I'm more inclined to stand up for myself and advocate for my own interests. My tolerance for mistreatment is lower, which is a boon for business and interactions with others. Energy...

Hey everyone, Been off the boards for a bit; hope you guy have been doing well. Got bloodwork back at 90 days. My current regimen is: 70mg Testosterone Cypionate 400IU HCG Twice weekly subcutaneously. I'm working with Dr Saya through Defy Medical. Labs attached to this thread. Would love...

Agreed- thanks Gene. You and several other guys pointed me toward them since joining this forum. Appreciate the recommendation!

Thanks MG123- that does make we wonder, though: are they not mL? I currently take 70mg Test Cyp twice per week in 200mg/mL strength, so I've been doing .35mL each injection. Should I be converting and adjusting that for insulin units? If so, what's the conversion rate? Or is it effectively the...

Hey guys- not sure this is the right thread, so please feel free to move elsewhere if appropriate, mods. Quick shoutout to Allegro Medical- I ordered these 28g insulin syringes Monday night with 99c promo shipping. They estimated 7-10 days to Florida where I live and it showed up just after...

Indeed Dr Crisler. My experience has been very positive and extraordinarily professional. And thank you as well for your work. I read your book, as well as Nelson's before my consult. I miss your video on Sub-Q injections; seems to have disappeared from YouTube.

Hey Xerxes- I have people close in my life who struggle with anxiety and other mental health issues, and know how tough it can be. Like many others here, I work with Defy and have had a good experience so far; I don't know what your insurance situation is, or if you'd be able to work with Defy...

I can't vouch for this one personally, but I understand some guys will use these sorts of diabetic cooler packs for travel with HCG. Please report back if you go this route and what your experiece ends up being. Good luck vic!

Hi Raymond, Welcome and I add another vouch for Defy. I don't have the same lengthy track record with them (just recent;y began treatment), bu they have a well-regarded reputation here. I encourage you tp check out their video here Story of Hope After Years of Complications from Steroid Abuse...

Yeah, I'm surprised to hear that as well. Wondering if maybe uour insurance covered certain things with lowtestosterone.com that you're now paying out of pocket for. For me, here's my projected annual cost with Defy Initial consult- $195 Initial Bloodwork~$180 12 Month Supply Test Cyp~ $550...

Hi McGillickM4- welcome. I recently started TRT and have experienced a bit of weight gain, which I wrote about. I thought it might be estradiol related, but I decided to order bloodwork from DiscountedLabs at 6 weeks (before the 12 week mark recommended by Dr Saya at Defy), and found out that...

Thanks Jackie

Thanks Jackie Treehorn. Curiously, It's asking for a login and when I cancel, it says ---- [h=2] Permission Denied [/b] [h=2]You don't have permission to access this page. Please contact Defy Medical to access this section of the website.[/b]----- I guess I'll have to contact them...

Jackie Treehorn- can you link to where it says that on the website? I'd like to see their full policy. I also really appreciate the ease of working with Defy and shipping for me was very simple my first order. But like maxadvance, I would consider fulfilling a script myself, as it may save a...
