    Empower licensed to compound hcg?

    Hello all, Does Empower have the correct license to compound hcg under the new FDA laws? The pharmacy my doc uses can't compound it any longer, and commercial grade hcg is backordered until Feb. 2021 in my area. My doc said if I can find a pharmacy that can legally compound it, he'll send my...

    Issues with Testosterone Cream -- anyone else?

    I've been on a number of TRT protocols over the past 3 years. Injections most of the time. However, about 6-8 months ago, I got caught up in the "cream craze" and decided to give it a shot. A few things I've noticed: 1. Even at almost identical T levels (free and total), I feel worse on cream...

    Curb expectations... or expect more?

    I've been on trt for 15 months now. Overall, it's been a rollercoaster. A few questions for guys who have been on trt a few years or more: 1. Is feeling "great" the expectation, or is "okay" all some of us can hope for? At times, I've felt GREAT -- more confident than I've been in years, more...

    HCG skyrocketing Testosterone?

    I've been on TRT for over a year now. Long story short: after starting at 160mg/week and eventually trying to find the "least effective dose", going all the way down to 100mg/week, 6 weeks ago when I met with Dr. Saya, we landed on 132mg/week (3.5 days). At the time, my protocol was this...

    Wrong prescription from Empower?

    Anyone ever received the wrong prescription from Empower? As in, it says it's the right thing but something seemed off? I got a new batch of 3mg tadalifil for daily use a few weeks ago. Started taking it (4 days) and had heightened anxiety/racing heart rate. Took a break for two weeks, now...

    HCG -- Total weekly or per dose matter most?

    I felt my best when on 500 IU's 2x weekly of HCG, however, this also led to my most significant challenges with controlling E2 and I had to up my anastrozole dose, which is something I'm wanting to avoid. Anyone have experience with same total weekly dosages at different frequencies and their...

    Almost one year on TRT... struggling to find balance

    So I've posted a few times around here. Started TRT last September, so right around 10 months as of now. It has been a journey, for sure. If I'm being honest, I've felt "ok" or "bad" more than I've felt good, but it's been better than pre TRT overall, so that's worth something. I'm with...

    Decoding SHBG and primary vs. secondary

    I've been on TRT for nearly 9 months now. My initial labs, before starting, were as follows: Initial labs (pre-trt): Total T: 3.33 (2.8-8.0) Free T: 6.1 (8.7-25.1) SHBG:69 (16.5-55.9) LH: 5.6 (1.7-8.6) Estradiol sensitive: 19.6 (8-35) Most recent labs (taken the morning before injection on an...

    AI + HCG timing on EOD protocol

    I've been on TRT for 7-8 months. Started with Test + HCG + AI two times per week. After some research, hoped that switching to EOD would eliminate need for AI, but unfortunately, it's still creeping up. After 7 weeks on EOD Test only, E2 is 42 and I'm feeling it with water retention, hot...

    Lab Results and Your Input

    Hey all, First time poster here. I've suspected low T for a few years, but after finally convicing my Doc to test for it 3 years ago, he would only look at Total T and it came back at 6.6 (2.80 - 8.00), so he said "you're just stressed" and sent me on my way. I've been in his office once per...
