Thanks, I've been doing .3 ml but have tried .2 ml and have the same reaction. Where would i find a formula without those excipients? Would Defy have them?

Hello - I've been trying SubQ injections in the stomach area and love handles for a couple of weeks and each time I do it, the area feels completely fine for the first 24 hours, but then starting at about 1.5 to 2 days after injection I get an inch wide, narrow lump under the skin and the top of...

any more issues with lumps? I'm getting them with subq so wondering what works best

Thanks for your reply. How do you get Natesto, can you get it through a Defy / clinic or do you have a local doc that prescribes? For context I was using Test mixed with Grapeseed Oil and getting a rash and lump, so Defy has suggested i try Wilshire Test mixed with Cottonseed oil. I'm doing SubQ.

Hi, curious how did this turn out? What do you like best between Natesto, Jatenzo, and injections?

Hello - I received my first batch of Testosterone Cypionate and HCG from Defy Medical. They sent 27 gauge 1/2" Easy Touch syringes for the Test (for SubQ), and 30 gauge for the HCG (for SubQ). These syringes do not have removable needles. They sent no alcohol wipes and no drawing needles. The...

Which clinic, can you say? or DM?

What doctor or clinic did you use?

Hello, Which providers we discuss here have Jatenzo as an option for its patients? Does Defy Medical prescribe it for example? I'm in the Chicago area if there's anyone local here to recommend. Thanks!

Thanks for the update Nelson. How have the past few months gone so far? Curious if you're using regular HCL or XR extended release, and what dosage? I'm about to begin using Metformin. The TAME study is using regular (not extended release), is that correct? 850mg twice daily?

Hey Vince, curious if you're still using Ad Lip in Delafield and are happy with them? I'm 52 and my latest standard cholesterol tests came back with LDL at 149, total cholesterol 210. My GP is saying to go on Statins, 10mg Lipitor nightly. I did a CT scan with contrast 2 months ago and my...

Thanks Nelson! Great articles! So given these and other recent studies and articles, curious if your opinion has changed since June 2015 where you posted, "I would only take metformin if I am fat, have glucose intolerance or insulin resistance. It can lower your T and B vitamins (if you are on...

Thanks Nelson, very interesting study. Do you think the IGF-1 levels (increase only at doses over 125 mg/week) can be extrapolated to the real world or do you think the administration of the GnRH agonist might skew that break line? The reason I ask is that the 125 mg / week in this study barely...

Thanks Nelson! This seems to align with what I've seen, that in some cases there is an indeed a correlation. However it hasn't been clear how long elevated IGF-1 levels remain, even with continued exogenous Testosterone administration. Does this study give any indication or was the IGF-1 reading...

Thanks Nelson! Yes, I've read too that the kids are alright.

Thanks for sharing lenny! Curious if you're open to sharing, how did you have a 347 reading for IGF-1 to begin with, it seems kind of high, were you on exogenous testosterone and/or sermorelin at anytime prior to going plant based diet? Or just eating a lot of meat :)

Thanks for sharing captain!

Thanks for that input, Guided.

Thanks johnt!! Yes, I've heard good things about Dr Osborn as well. Would love to hear how your appointment goes. Thanks. Revised list: Dr Justin Saya Dr John Crisler Dr Eugene Shippen Dr Mark Gordon Dr Rand McClain Dr Larry Lipshultz Dr Abraham Morgentaler Dr Greg Lowe Dr Joel Finkelstein Dr...

Thanks CoastWatcher!

Thanks for Sharing Vince. The articles I've read say higher than 175. My experience on my previous cycle was pre-exogenous testosterone my Total T=420 and IGF-1 was 160, then midway through on the same test where my Total T was 1020, my IGF-1 was 225 (on Labcorp's range 67-205). That's why I'm...

Hi All - just trying to be an informed consumer and manager of my health here. What is the prevailing wisdom on the following two correlations and in some cases causations, depending on which study / article you read: 1) Higher IGF-1 levels in older adults can increase the risk of cancer 2)...

Great feedback everyone thanks. So far I'm hearing (and agree) top doctors in this field include Dr Justin Saya Dr John Crisler Dr Eugene Shippen Dr Mark Gordon Dr Rand McClain Dr Larry Lipshultz Dr Abraham Morgentaler Dr Greg Lowe Dr Joel Finkelstein Dr Ryuto Nakazawa What about Dr Thomas...

Thanks that's a great list and some I haven't heard of. Regarding Dr. Ryuto Nakazawa, is that the correct spelling, I haven't heard of him and can't find much on him. Also, what is meant by his article you summarize, don't many folks on this forum do twice weekly injections?

Great article and thanks to the reference to Dr Bedecs.

Thanks Vince, those are the names I've seen noted as top in the field as well and probably is a great start to the list. I'd probably add Dr Mark Gordon as well. Thoughts?

Thanks for your views. I'm still not clear on the answer to my original question...who do you consider to be "the leading doctors in the field of androgen management" who you reference in your first reply to my post? Are you saying the leading doctors in the field are the ones who wrote the...

Sounds good Dr Saya looking forward to it. Yeah, I've tried Clomid for a couple of weeks, not sure if I gave it enough time but it didn't seem to do much, and at the same time made me moody. Probably interested to see your view of subcutaneous testosterone injections + HCG. AI added only if...

Thanks Dr Saya. Yes, I actually because of my numbers felt compelled to go to a doctor to try to get some advice. I'm actually signed up with Defy and have paid my money for an appointment with you, however they had told me there is a 5 week wait (that was 2-3 weeks ago). I had requested an...

@Vince @CoastWatcher @Will Brink Thanks for your comments. This was recommended by a Urologist from a top 10 urologist department. I'm just trying to be an informed patient, I don't disagree with what you're saying. What are the side effects that you speak of? @CoastWatcher who are the...

Apologies if this is clear to most, but would someone mind summarizing why some are concerned about Anastrozole? I see in some of the posts that some folks try their best not to take it. What do you think of Anastrozole monotherapy to raise T levels for someone coming down from a pellet? Total...
