I have been on TRT for 5 years. The only thing my Dr ever tests is Total T, Hematocrit and PSA. My last labs he ordered Estrodial and Estrodial FREE and both test resluts came back automated to me as being flagged high. I see my dr tomorrow. Labs from 1-26-2022 Total T 840 Hematocrit 44.4...

I see it got your attention. I see now, thanks to you I don't have any need for this site or your lip, a moderator can BAN me, Im logging out, never coming back. Reply what you will, I wont be reading it.

How soon after donating blood does your Hemotocirt levels go down and how long does the effect last? And what percent does it drop? Is the effect immediate as soon as you leave the Red Cross donation center? A day later is peak reduction that you will acheive? A week later? How soon after...

I have never used HCG, I have no idea if my insurance would cover it.

My insurance covers it. My initial labs was 349 ng/dl, my doctor said 350 was the cut off for Blue Cross. They have been paying for it all but a $20.00 co-pay every 3 months the past 16 months. Different insurance companies may have different limits I guess.

I started TRT at age 58. My total T on 6th June 2017 was (349) 348 - 1,197 ng/dL. This reference range was reduced by Lab Corp on 17th July 2017 to 264 - 916. Based on change in reference range I would now be considered low normal lol! I inject 1 time every 7 days, a small amount. Started...

I also sometimes wonder if where and how deep the test is injected has on body absorption effectiveness. I know everyone is different but it seems some people inject twice as much TEST as I do and have lower Total T #s than me. I inject only .35ML or 70Mg every 7 days and have total T #s in the...

I have never done sub Q into belly fat.I have 0 experience with that. I go into the thighs, halfway between Hip and knee on the OUTSIDE of the muscle. Looking down that would be 2 o clock on the right leg and 10 o clock on the left leg using 25 X 5/8 3mL needle made by BD. I buy them online. I...

I use 25g 5/8 3ML syringes, inject into my thighs, they work great. I also inject .35, but only once a week, not twice like you. Each line equals .1 so go 3 1/2 lines for .35. I also use a 18 gauge needle first to draw, pull test back out of the needle, then switch to the 25g needle. Never any...

No sir, I get 6 1ml Vials each run to the pharmacy. Here is how the math works. My original prescription was .5Ml every 7 days, that works out to 2 weeks per 1ml bottle. So my insurance pays for only a 3 months supply each time, so 12 weeks (84 days) equals 6Ml, so they give me six 1m bottles...

I get my Test from CVS also.The actual reason is the bottle isn't considered sterile 28 days after its first punctured, not that the test goes bad. I am not interested in arguing this point with anyone, its not my idea, just reporting what they are doing and why. Argue it with CVS. There is a...

I have been on once a week injections for 14 months now. I inject every Saturday morning. I am on a low dose compared to most. I started out at the typical 100mg dose, then reduced to 80, then now 70 the past 7 months, I am a classic case of less is more. I really improved after reducing the...

I have reduced my Test from 100mg per week to first 80 and now 70. My total T 4 days after my last injection was 770. Im doing great on reduced test amounts also.

I fired my Endo today. I don't take calling a College educated medical specialist an idiot lightly, I gave her a chance. She did absoloutely nothing for me. Her best advice each time I talked to her was quit TRT. That's all she would offer. She even admitted at first visit she didn't...

I posted all the numbers I was tested for. I will be going to Discounted labs soon and get the entire range.

You post exactly sums up how I feel. Tomorrow I go to the hospital to have a ACTH Stimulation test ordered by my Endo. I feel like this is just another long dark lonely highway to no where. But since the insurance approved it, I might as well. I finally got my TRT Euro to refill my...

Its not just the Tele sites that people struggle with. My Eurologist and CVS are such a PITA I am almost willing to just quit TRT and throw in the towel. I have resorted to reducing my dosage and extending the injection cycle from 7 to 8 days just so I won't run out of medicine before the last...

[h=2]Comments from the Doctor's Office[/b]Results as discussed on the phone: - morning cortisol level was normal but low normal and given recent events leading to hospitalization there is concern for adrenal insufficiency (in response specifically to stress/illness) - this is likely related to...

DHEA Sulfate 38.1 ug/dL 48.9 - 344.2 ug/dL This is low, not sure what this is or means.

My blood tests came in today of interest is that my Prolactin is high, what does that mean and what can I do about it? Prolactin 21.3 ng/mL 4.0 - 15.2 ng/mL

.Just tried it, works for me.

Im not surprised by this, but it seems most dont want to do it that way.

My Potassium from Discounted Labs, taken about 2 1/2 weeks ago was 3.7 (3.5 - 5.2) So it was low normal. I went to Wellstar Lab today and had 6 vials of blood drawn lol. And you are right, the Aldersterone tests is done at some lab in California, where other blood tests are done locally so...

That's going to happen anyway by default as she told me in advance that she will be going out on maternity leave soon and a new doctor will be taking over her patients. So I go in the morning to get the labs done and will see how that turns out and what course she advises based on the lab...

Here she is, she actually spoke English very well. That just gripes my ass when people cant speak the English f#cking language clearly. https://www.wellstar.org/physicians/pages/physician-profile.aspx?pid=3bc05fff-1168-4ce5-9944-7e14fa77a018

I also told her I got my Potassium tested last week. She asked me what doctor did that and I told her no doctor, I just went and got it tested and she asked how and I told her about Discounted Labs. She said she had never heard of that. I told her you could get any labs you wanted. She said what...

I just thinks she don't like it. She first said she doesn't put patients on TRT, then caught herself and backtracked and then said she does do TRT but she don't put patients on TRT whose initial labs were only "low normal". At the time my initial labs were: 349 (348-1197) But since then (3...

Here are the labs she ordered. I couldn't go this morning because she wants them done while fasting. So I fast tonight and go 7AM Wednesday morning. The scary part is, you may be right and I haven't totally decided to throw in the towel on the TRT. She is not my doctor for that. Play it by ear...

Im Stopping TRT. I went to an Endocrinologist today, shesaid to stop TRT. Getting a new panel of blood tests done tomorrow morning to confirm her suspicions of Adrenal Insufficiency as the cause of my symptoms. I now become a statistic of those who quit in less than 1 year. What is a person to...

You are so correct. With this service available anyone seeking to find out their medical conditions on their own have no reason not to. I got my labs back, my Electrolyte panel results was not what I was expecting. But glad I know. Thanks again, I will be using this Discounted Labs a lot in...

I just got my TT results back. This is the only test my doctor ordered this time around. This test was done on the 8th morning after last injection and before I injected that day. I have been injecting since the beginning 100MG every 7 days, but the past 3 weeks I switched to every 8 days due to...
