So I am considering coming off of T again, but this time would like to try "not cold turkey" as I have had to in the past. As it stands, I am trying to remember if being off felt much worse apart from the longer muscle-recovery time than compared to while on. I only ordered these small...

Thanks for the advice Vince Carter. I had been considering something like that but, admittedly, I was worried about combining them. I'll be giving that a shot in the not-to-distant future. And thank you guys for the product feedback. I'll be placing an order now with that much more confidence...

My question is which generic viagra option, through the reliablerx pharmacy, has yielded you the best results? I haven't used Viagra in a long while. It used to work for me well enough, but the "planned" nature of its use pushed me towards Cialis. I have what's left of a large, 20 mg Cialis...

Test Name: Testosterone Random (Start 5-27-09),BLOOD Result: 237 ng/dL Lab Test: Testost~VITROS ECI Interpretation: Normal Males (aged 20-49)=132-813ng/dL Normal Males (aged >50)=71.8-623ng/dL Test Name: Testosterone Free, BLOOD Result: 83.9 pg/mL Reference Range: 46.0-224.0 Lab Test...

I have a couple of lab results that I do not know how to interpret as I am not familiar with the labs that did the testing. They are on test levels, however I am only familiar with LabCorp test results. I am just curious to know what you can tell from them at a glance.

I would occasionally get joint pains, usually in my knees, elbows and occasionally in my wrists and ankles. Lately I've only had a little lingering pain in my left knee but that is likely due to the cold weather. My other joints feel fine right now. I want to focus the coming weeks on reducing...

The main change I've noted so far is morning wood over the last few weeks that I've been off the AI. I haven't used anything besides my EOD T shots in that time. My physical responsiveness in that regard is getting better too. As I wrote before, while taking an AI it got to the point that it was...

I wasn't at that level for very long, and at the time I was really worried about NOT being on an AI. All I'd read was that an AI was needed to avoid gyno on TRT, so I was really concerned with avoiding it. I thought I might be experiencing some gyno. Based on my first follow-up test results I...

That was about the time I switched providers so I wasn't on an AI for a very brief period during the switch. That led to the 42 reading on my initial tests with my new provider. It was also the first time the correct test (sensitive e2) was used. Up to that point I didn't know much about where I...

I figured I might not need an AI but thought I'd seek opinions. Really hoping this isn't something that might taper off after some time. I did switch providers about a year ago. My Total T has come in at around 800 to 840 and my E2 at 20.2 to 20.7 my last few tests, which is why I'm curious...

CW, the clinic I got started with started me on an AI about 6 weeks in to TRT. 0.5 mg of Anastrozole that was eventually reduced to 0.25 mg. This was back in 2013, possibly late 2012 during a once weekly 100 mg of T regimen. My values were only sent to my physician and he'd go over them with me...

I'd like to hear the community's insights. I've seen some users post about T to E ratio, but I'm not sure how that deal goes. I'm beginning to think my issue was E2 related all along. Well, it's been just about 5 years on this TRT journey if my memory serves. A few weeks ago, out of...

I was advised by my physician to cease it after my last set of labs had my prolactin at a reading of 2 ng/mL. I did so to comply with him and out of fear of tanking it. I've since also stopped all other supplements due to cost considerations, and have ceased hcg as of a few weeks. I got...

So I took the plunge and got a script for Trimix. I have injected about 4 or 5 times thus far, but I still can not get over that mental hesitancy of hitting myself "there". It takes me several minutes to actually insert the needle into my junk, and a couple MORE minutes to push it all the way...

Nelson, as far as I can remember after my teen years I've struggled with venous leakage in particular. I drank pretty heavily the previous 4 years before this last one, too. I haven't had much in the way of improvement so I'm getting a bit desperate. But, I hear you on that score about the mind...

I've seen the occasional post, on random forums from search engine results, that mention some guys experience improvement in function in between Trimix doses. Others report better responsiveness to ED drugs when they have a gap in between doses. This has me curious. What do current Trimix users...

Thank you all for your replies. Sincerely. I've started Caber at a low dose (.125 mg) with the desired result being improvements in penile function, sensitivity, and libido. I've been dealing with ED and low libido for years both before and now during TRT. ED drugs helped with the ED pre-TRT...

Hi all, I have been prescribed a low dose (.125 mg) of Cabergoline twice a week to incorporate into my TRT regimen. I've shopped a couple of pharmacies thus far and it seems there's no way around the "pricey-ness" of this script. Can anyone provide an affordable alternative? I'm already...

Appreciate your response, Dr. Saya.

More than anything I want an improvement in my libido. Vince, or anyone following a similar protocol, I'd like to know how the cream fits into your dosing schedule? Frequency? Location of application? Does the dose replace an injection dose?

Thought I'd ask here about the Trimix consult for anyone that's been prescribed Trimix through Defy. I have a follow up consult scheduled with them in 2 weeks. Will I be able to consult with them about Trimix at that time as well?

I do it without incident. I hate to be wasteful when it comes to T, so I'll upend my vial (hold it upside down) with the needle just barely in there to get every bit of it that I can out of the vial. Then draw the remaining amount from my next vial. It shouldn't be a problem.

Say you're seeking a second opinion with regard to your treatment. It shouldn't be a problem. If the thought of this makes you that uncomfortable, make some calls and find an urgent care facility that will give you a sports physical. The urgent care facility I used accepted walk-ins and...

My dosing protocol is currently 40 mgs Test Cyp EOD. It was 140 mgs split into 70 mg shots, twice weekly. Switched to EOD due to low shbg. Haven't been taking Hcg. No AI. TT-806, FT-29, E-42. My previous searches of the forums didn't bring up much in the way of members taking Cabergoline with...

The VA wouldnt consider TRT for me. I first suggested to them I had a hormone imbalance at 25. They'd already prescribed me Viagra which helped with ED but not libido. They'd only prescribe a certain amount of pills per month so I had to get more through other means. Popping one every time I...

I've also been prescribed ED meds throughout my treatment. They help some with ED, but do not improve my libido.

Vince, I've read the post a couple of times and what I come away with is that an MRI is considered the higher the elevation. My medical coverage is through the VA and they don't seem too concerned with my lab results. I'm awaiting the results of their labwork. Their urologist won't see me...

My lab results a while back showed elevated prolactin levels. I'm curious to hear from members that have treated elevated prolactin with Cabergoline. I am curious if any experienced improved TT/FT levels with the addition of cabergoline to their protocol and what effect it may have had on their...

I feel the same way about the irresponsibility of it. My first TRT physician put me on T straight away with only my free and total T lab values. I didn't know any better then and I was desperate. I was a whiskey guy as well. I'd started drinking 2 years before to self-medicate and it was a...

He's 32, non-smoker, doesn't drink, and not presently on any meds. He can't seem to shed weight, which has now been steadily climbing since he gave up on it. He's fairly sedentary now, having previously worked in a physically demanding job for a decade. He was quite overweight even then but not...

I was at the end of my rope, and looking to fashion a noose out of it. I presented with all of the symptoms listed in Nelson's post. Alcohol became my substance of choice. It was only once I raised my awareness of hormone imbalances that I mentioned I thought my history of head traumas on...
