so I've been on oral Minoxidil 2.5 Mg since Aug 2023 and oral Finasteride (Propecia) 1 mg since November 2023. I think Im seeing some progress (see attached) with not alot of side affects. Since Finasteride throws off PSA testing.. how would you track if you actually got prostate cancer? One...

So I have been doing TRT for 15 years. For the past 6 months I have reduced my levels down to .3ml per week of 200 mg/ml Test Cypionate from Hikma (thru Kroger). The shots are always Subq. (Test results are below) I kept stepping down because of hair loss. I'm just about at 3 months using...

All, I am doing .4 ml of Hikma Pharmaceutical Test Cyp 200 mg/ml per week. Shots on Monday, testing on Thursday. SubQ injections in thigh. For past 10-15 years I'm hitting 600 to 1100 on my test results. Averaging 800. Not sure why the big 1100 this last time. My hair has been thinning for...

Some background: 50 year old male, 6'1, 230 lbs. Back in Feb 2020, I had internal intestinal bleeding. Ended up losing 8 pints of blood. Hemaglobin dropped to 8.0 and did not require a transfusion. By 2/26 and taking iron pills, got my Hemaglobin up to 9.8. Ive been on TRT for over 10 years...

Im on TRT. My Estrogen started getting up there around 60. They put me on Anastrozole. The pills come in 1 mg size from Kroger. Im supposed to take 1/4th tablet twice a week. These suckers are hard to cut. Is it OK to take 1/2 pill once a week?

So.. Ive been on TRT for 8 years. Over the past 2 years, my Dr and I tried to follow an article from a particular Dr which said I had erythrocytosis not polycythemia and to follow platelet count vs. hemaglobin/hematocrit levels and not donate blood. So for 2 years I did that and my levels...

So I changed docs. The new doc ordered Testosterone Cypionate 200 mg/ml from Perrigo (Contains Benzyl Alcohol) and states for IM use only. I always go SubQ. Can I use this for SubQ use? Any difference?

48 year old male. On HCG and Testosterone for TRT. Hematocrit levels were getting too high. Did 2 blood donations in 30 days (on 5/5 and 5/23). On 5/30 did blood tests. Went from Hematocrit 58 down to 47.5 and Hemaglobin now 15.9 (which is good). But, Ferritin dropped to 18 (range is 21 to...
