^^^^^^^^ What he said. What did your Doctor say when he saw your Test and E2 labs? Is that E2 test a sensitive E2 test? It sounds like you more than halved your Test dosage (which is good), and were taking "a little bit of AI." Please define "a little bit of AI."

No problem. CVS Pharmacy, 13510 W. Highway 290, Austin, TX 78737. Phone # (512) 288-0798.

I was getting my HCG from Empower Pharmacy (via Defy) for the last 6+ years. When this new rule came into effect, I started calling a bunch of local pharmacies (Austin, TX area) and asking if they carried Pregnyl or generic HCG. It took about a half a dozen phone calls before I found a regular...

I have a feeling that he means the potency is 200mg/1mL, in a 5mL vial.

I had to do some phoning around to find a regular pharmacy that carried HCG. I finally found a CVS pharmacy that carries it in 10,000 IU vials. They will fill it the same day they get the script from the Doc.

Do you mean what symptoms of high E2 did I have that prompted my use of an AI? If so, night sweats, sensitive nipples, and low libido/sex drive. If you didn't mean that...then, side effects to what?

50BMG, Honestly, it seems to me that you are in desperate need of a doctor that understands TRT. I'm sure that your PCP is a real nice guy, but if he doesn't know squat about TRT, then you're driving at night, without headlights. You can pickup a lot of pointers here on this forum, and there...

50BMG, Patience Grasshopper...you need to slow down, and be patient. Quit changing your protocol like I change my socks. Wait the six weeks, and retest. Also, only change one thing at a time in your protocol, instead of 3. If you change multiple items on your protocol at the same time...

Believe me, I considered pinning daily, but it's just too much of a PITA to do it every day. I used to pin HCG daily, but that got old real fast as well. Now I'm pretty much in a routine of EOD for both. I've been using 29ga 1/2" insulin pins for the Test, and 31ga 5/16" pins for the HCG a...

I put off taking an AI for a long time, trying everything in the book to lower my E2 without taking the dreaded Anastrozole. To name a few things, I : 1. Pinned Test EOD instead of BIW, to try to lower the spike conversion to E2. 2. Tried DIM and Calcium D-Glucarate. 3. Lost weight by dropping...

Here's a suggestion: Use a compounding pharmacy. They will make it exactly as your doctor prescribes. I microdose anastrozole (0.1mg, BIW), and Empower Pharmacy makes this dosage with no problems. You're making this way too difficult.

I don't know anyone that's used a 30 gauge needle with Test. Not saying that it can't be done, but keep in mind that Test is an oil based med, not water based. With a 30GA needle, it's going to take a while to load up the syringe, and a while to inject it. For your HCG injections, hopefully...

I've done it both ways, and haven't noticed any difference in the way I feel. You'll be fine either way.

As do I. OP, You don't need a harpoon to pin yourself shallow IM. A 1/2" needle is plenty long enough to penetrate the muscle, as long as you're not carrying a whole lot of body fat at the injection site. Most men I know (including myself) don't have much fat, if any on their quads...

Be patient and give it time to recover. DS3 gave you some good advice. Anastrozole is some nasty stuff, and some folks are super sensitive to it (including me). It's always better to err on the light side, and increase dosage later, if required. I only take 0.1mg twice a week to keep my E2...

What was your TRT protocol? Specifics please.

Doesn't Costco carry any other brand names of HGH...Genotropin, Norditropin, etc?

I've been using 300IUs EOD for the last 4 years...works like a champ. No testicular atrophy.

I don't know of any pros or cons. I suppose you could store them in the fridge...I just don't know why you would.

My Test refill is always (2) 5mL vials, which usually lasts me about 3.5 months. I receive this from Empower Pharmacy in Houston, which is a legitimate compounding pharmacy in Texas. Maybe TX law is different, since I've been receiving this quantity of refill (prescribed by Defy) for about 4...

It could just be a MA state law. Here in TX, when I refill my Test script I always get (2) 5mL vials. Is there a way you could have it mailed to a P.O. Box in a nearby state? I don't know if that is legal or feasible for you...just a thought.

I've been using HCG from Empower Pharmacy for years (prescribed by Defy), and it is good to go. I consider Empower Pharmacy very high quality, and I am always very pleased with their products. I usually get (2) 5000 or 6000 unit HCG vials, which last me for a few months at a very reasonable...

Most blood donation centers have protocols written in stone about how often you can donate. Where I donate blood has different periods of wait time between donations depending on what kind of donation you made. For a whole blood donation, it is every 56 days. For platelet donations, it is...

Yeah...the downside is that you have to pin yourself every frigging day. That gets old real fast, and it may not even be necessary to pin that often. I pin EOD because it's necessary. My E2 was running way too high on injections every 3.5 days, so I was willing to try anything to avoid...

Then just use the smallest insulin pin that you can find (31 gauge, 5/16”), and inject into your abdomen. A 31ga/5/16” insulin pin isn’t exactly intimidating, and you can’t even feel it most of the time. Don’t make this any harder than it needs to be. Your HCG injection should be the...

Same for me. I've been injecting Test into my vastus lateralis EOD (alternating legs) for almost 3 years now, with no problems whatsoever. I'm still using a 29ga, 1/2" insulin pin to do this, and my bioavailability is just fine according to my blood tests. I don't have any fat on my quads...

Vithat, Nelson gave you some really good advise about not wasting time/money chasing ineffective approaches to your gyno. Exercise isn’t going to correct your condition...neither is HGH or other peptides (Sermorelin or Ibutamoren). If you want to supplement your TRT protocol with any of...

Banshek, You are in desperate need of a TRT doctor that knows what the hell he is doing. You will find those doctors at Defy Medical. Your endo is a certified moron that shouldn’t be practicing medicine. Never set foot in her office again. Do yourself a huge favor and call Defy, and get...

I agree with your new doctor. Your H&H, along with your RBC is too high, and it needs to be addressed the sooner the better. You need to get a script for a therapeutic phlebotomy asap. If your old doctor isn't concerned at all with a 54.1% Hematocrit, maybe it's a good thing he's...

Please define "a little high E2." Do you have any bloodwork to back that up? Symptoms?

Your labs look pretty damn good. Your E2 isn't crazy high (I'm assuming that was a sensitive E2 test), and ratiowise, it is in the ballpark. If your symptoms are bothering you, you could try DIM and Calcium D Glucarate until you get your script for anastrozole. It works for some guys, but...
