I ran out of my current prescription for Anastrazole and every day since Tuesday, I've been taking some three year old Anastrazole I had left over from another medical provider. I've read that medications generally lose potency as they age but most don't go bad.
Does anyone know if three...
I'm not a healthy guy and I take some medications that are counterproductive to TRT so I suspect that's why my dosages are on the higher side. I'm working on correcting some of my health issues (morbid obesity, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, etc...) and hopefully my dosages can be reduced over...
Mine is also for DHT and my hope is that's all it does, rather than boosting T levels to a place that may be too high, long-term. I haven't found much information on this particular treatment.
I've been doing the following:
60mg T cypionate M-W-F
350 HCG M-W-F
.25 Anastrazole Monday thru Friday
I wasn't getting goods results, especially in the areas of libido and sexual function. My doctor added what I think is 25 mg of T cream (2 clicks on a 50 mg/ml) applied daily to the scrotum...
I just got some new lab results and would be interested in hearing some thoughts on the numbers. My overall experience with TRT has been mediocre at best. It's enough to keep me from feeling like death warmed over (been there when T was extremely low) but I'm still tired all the time, have a...
Dr. Crisler mentions a supplement that helps get rid of E2 but I can't understand what he is saying. It's Calcium de.... something. A google search brings up "calcium decanoate" but none of the links indicate it's a supplement or even what he is talking about.
ETA: He discussed it later in...
I inject with a 1/2" 27 gauge needle in the side of my leg and due to my obesity, I'm pretty sure that ends up being an SQ injection. My latest Total T was 916 so no issue with absorption. The only side-effect is the occasional welt, which I get anywhere other than my belly.
Feelinglost, I know I was jumping the gun a bit but I wanted a progress number to make sure I wasn't way, way off track. No worries about the way you came off, I know that what you recommend is good advice.
1Draw, Thyroid issues is something I know nothing about. I have two TSH numbers from...
UPDATE:
I decided to do a fourth week blood draw for T & E to see where I am. The results were:
Total T: 916 Reference Range 264 - 916
Free T: 22.9 Reference Range 7.2 - 24.0
E2: 32.4 Reference Range 8.0 - 35.0
My protocol was 20mg of Test cyp daily for the first two...
I can say from experience that Defy will prescribe more than 120mg weekly. I'm sure it's all based on the particulars of each patient.
Defy started me at 150mg per week and my total T after 7 weeks was 845. I was still symptomatic so they bumped me to 180 per week, which yielded TT ranges...
Any time I've called with an issue, it's resolved within the hour. The only reason it's not immediate is the person answering the phone is not a practitioner so it takes a bit to get one of them on the line. They also do quick e-mail consultations, although those might take a day or so to get...
FWIW, I despised the name brand Axiron. It's the consistency of water and you apply it to a nearly vertical surface (ie, your underarms). It was a dripping mess and I had serious doubts that I was getting the full dosage most of the time.
In fact, my insurance company dropping Androgel and...
It fits better into my morning routine. I take medication every morning and the pre-filled syringes are right there next to the pill bottles. I actually had trouble remembering on a M-W-F schedule, so this works better for compliance. I'm also optimistic that I'll get better results, but time...
I started on a daily injection protocol almost two weeks ago and I hope it works because I prefer this over three times weekly. I have been using 29 gauge 1/2" insulin syringes injected SQ. I pre-fill a week's worth of syringes on the weekend and my T shot takes less time than taking my...
I was feeling the crash before the HCG and I've only taken one dose. The day after the HCG was the worst but it's hard to tell if it's the HCG or simply the timing of the lowered Test Cyp levels.
I'll stay the course on the 20mg daily. Are there guys who felt worse on HCG than they did...
Okay, I am 8-10 days into injecting 20mg of Test Cyp daily with .25 mg Anastrazole on Monday & Thursday. I've been out of HCG the entire time but got my refill yesterday and restarted my 300 IU injection, three times weekly.
I've noticed a definite downward trend in my symptoms and today I...
Wait, you guys are two different people? ;) Now I know why I've been confused when "Vince Carter" posts something that is the opposite of what I was sure "Vince" had posted! It just took seeing you side by side in the same thread to realize it's too different Vince's. LOL
Changing...
I'm a low SHBG, high E2 guy and the times when I've felt like my TRT is actually working as it should are seemingly random and far between. I'm going to switch from 54mg Test Cyp M-W-F to daily injections for several weeks, as an experiment. I know a lesser amount of T Cyp is called for with...
I spoke with Defy and their recommendation was to decrease my Testosterone Cyp from 60 mg M-W-F to 54mg M-W-F and to drop the Anastrazole to .25 twice weekly. I was going to start this protocol Wednesday (03/14/18) and injected .27 of Testostosterone and was going to wait a day or two to take...
On Wednesday I injected 60mg Cypionate, HCG (both as prescribed) and I took .5 mg of Anastrozle instead of my prescribed .25 mg. Toward the end of the day my libido was starting to exist again and this morning I had a partial morning erection. So I think an increase in the Anastrazole is the...
I am also doing HCG on the days I inject. I'm not sure of the dose but it's .3ml with the typical concentration Empower sends out.
Here are my recent labs:
I'm currently taking 60mg of T M-W-F along with .25 Anastrazole on the same days. My current weight is 380 so I assume I convert T to E on a large scale.
A couple of months ago I reached a point where I was sure I had high or low Estradiol so I called Defy for labwork and my Total T came...
I'm currently on a 50mg T, .3 units HCG and .25mg Anastrozole, all M-W-F.
I had T and E checked last week and they came back:
Total T 845
Free T 22.7
Estradiol 20.0
I injected my 50mg of T about 6-8 hours before the blood draw. Are my T scores likely to reflect that or does it take...
I just started a protocol of 50mg T M-W-F, 300iu HCG M-W-F and .25mg Anastrazole M-W-F.
My starting total T was 1200, Free T was 31 and Estradiol was 45. This was on 250mg T per week and 1mg of Anastrazole per week.
My first few days on the new protocol I could feel that I was starting to...
