Hello everyone. I have been away for a bit. I need some help with labs and advice. My recent labs had some values that were too high. I am male, early 50’s - 6’4” – 218 lbs – 17% body fat, in gym about 4 days per week. For years I was at about .21 ml (200mg/ml Test Cyp) every 3 days (SubQ) for...

My local doctor moved to Kansas. Hated to see him leave. Quick question, are the cost of labs in addition to Defy's schedule of charges for new patient appointments? If figure it is, but wanted to check. Thanks.

Test Post - I started a new thread earlier and now I can't find it. Either system is slow or I did something wrong. Likely the later.

My wife is struggling with menopause and has been seeing an local doctor for HRT treatment. As alot of us have experienced, some ups and downs but really struggling lately with the latest protocol. Do any of you have any experience and feedback for Defy (or other online service provider) for...

I was at the blood lab (labcorp) recently and due to some insurance changes, the lab work was not covered by insurance but I found out what I believe Blue Cross Blue Shield pays for lab work - at least what it says. Interesting how low it is. Also interesting what a good deal...

As way of background, I have been averaging 85 to 90 mg per week at injections IM every 3 days. My total T was consistently in the 660 range and E2 sensitive was in the 36 to 40 range. Always tested in the morning before my next shot. Felt good. My latest blood work (pulled about 3 weeks...

Let me just vent a bit - Getting old sucks ass. Unlike my nose and my ears, the hair on the top of my head is getting thin. My wife noticed it yesterday and I looked with a mirror and sure enough, it is thinning out on top. We looked over some pictures back in Feb and it was getting a tad...

I should probably know this and the difference are probably insignificant but I will ask anyway. It is not so much a math question as much as how to do I split it up or does it even matter. Right now I inject every 3 days - 40 mg per shot, weekly total of ~93 mg per week. I want to change...

I am lactose intolerant but wanted to supplement with whey protein. As a head ups (in case you did not know like me) there are several types of whey protein powder that are lactose free. I have been using ISOPURE (no flavor) without any stomach issues. There is also ISO100 but I have not...

As the title says, I think I am making some progress. It is nice to be going the other way after years of slow decline pre TRT and after I got some health issues sorted. I have increased my military press, bench row, and bench press (all dumbbell) by at least 10 lbs each. And, I compared an...

Anyone seen data on E2 sensitive test levels in healthy young men? If they have high T levels, and T converts to E2, it would be interesting to know their E2 levels. Seems like easy data to get - just a blood test.

I don't know much about this web site, but I found the article regarding the Keto Diet interesting. I know it is popular right now. The keto diet, explained

Does anyone have more info on the scarring. I was reading another thread and started wondering. I hear and read about scarring from repeated injections but I don't really know what that means. I understand a scar in my skin and have a few, but my scars are from big cuts/hits and not a tiny...

Anyone else having a problem sourcing the 10 ml 100mg/ml T Cyp bottles? I fulfill at Walgreens but it has been on back order since at least the 19th of Jan. They keep pushing the dates back for arrival and acknowledge that they don't know for sure when it will arrive since it is backordered...

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/01/31/582112597/researchers-discover-anxiety-cells-in-the-brain This was interesting to me and wanted to share. If you have anxiety this helps you understand that it is not the environment or the situation, but your reaction to the environment or...

https://www.anabolicmen.com/how-to-lower-shbg-naturally/ Disclaimer, I just saw this and thought I would post it. I don't know if it is good info or BS. Hopefully the experts can comment. I just got some blood work back. My T is, as always, right around 650. This is on about .35 ml...

This article hit home for me because I sit at a desk much of the day and I know in the back of my mind that I don't think I really do much cardio. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-42565137 Does anyone have any input on this article? For most of my life I have been active but do sit all day for...

This is a two part post. Sorry for the long post. . First, any advice or comments on the following blood work. My first test for everything listed except for Total and Free T, and Estradiol so I would be grateful for your opinions. I don’t fully understand all the thyroid labs or prolactin...

I switched over to SQ injections about 1 month ago and split my dose to E3D. Was reading a long thread on another site and the conclusion was that abdominal SQ injections were not as effective (yielding a lower Test BW values for a given dose compared to IM) if one had a lot of belly fat. And...

Is there a consensus on backfilling syringes (2-3) at a time and letting them sit for up to a week? My concern is sterility (if that is a word) and if it is ok to leave the test in the plastic syringe for that time period. I tried it once with a mid week injection and it was faster to just...

Is this workout routine outdated or not so good as a general plan? I spend about an hour to and 1:15 on average at the gym during a work out day - lifting not talking. Too much or too little? . Day 1 - Chest & Triceps & 10 min of cardio Day 2 - Legs & Stomach & 5 min of Cardio (warm up) Day...

Just a quick post to highlight how easy it is to make your own bread with a break maker. You can pick one up for less then 50$ and make your own bread where you control the ingredients. Basically organic whole wheat flour, oil, water, salt, honey or brown sugar, and yeast, all of which are...

I thought this might be helpful to others and wanted to get anyone's input. I saw a helpful post from SteveP about pre-work out supplements. I often get up to work out at 5:30, which for me is unnaturally early and I have no energy, so I thought I would give it a go. So, I did my...

Couple issues I wanted to get your feedback on that have been on my mind. A 2 part question. I hope am able to write this clearly. 1. I have been eat/drinking more protein (in places of some carbs) but am having trouble getting to 1 gram per bodyweight and even 1/2 gram per body weight (205...

Based on the good advice I have received here, I tried my first subQ injection last night. I used a 28 gauge, 1/2 inch .5 ml volume syringe/needle. I injected .35 ml into my abdomen fat. I should have went straight in, but I went at a bit of an angle but was still in the fat. I drew and...

I found this web site helpful. It seems to give honest answers about what supplements are good and not so great. I used the search function to help better understand pre-workout supplements. I also found the info on how much protein to consume and BCAA helpful. I just wanted to let others...
