How is she doing on this protocol? Have you made any adjustments? How do you administer 5mg? Hard to measure that small of an amount isn’t it?

But Defy would still have to follow Mass law and only give me a 30 day supply correct? My PCP is good with doubling the script as he knows I am looking to use the least amount possible. I really can't understand how this hormone gets lumped in with narcotic drugs. How is it dangerous or...

sorry maybe I worded this poorly....I started with my PCP and a script that I filled at the local CVS. I hated the 2ml bottles so we switched to Empower and they mailed me basically a 4 month supply in 5ml bottles from the script my PCP gave them. They now won't do it because of Mass law not...

This was exactly how I was doing it for 2 years but now they won't because of Massachusetts law.

I live in Massachusetts and the law here I am told is that they can't give you anything larger than a 2ml bottle and a 30 day supply. I draw in .3ml twice a week because I use a large needle and believe there is about 20% of the dose left in the needle and syringe. I am shooting for .25ml (50mg)...

Thank you! I ran it through a calculator I found online. I obmiouly did something wrong so I appreciate it.

For my most recent physical last month I decided to see what the numbers looked like after a 4 day water only fast. I finished the fast and ate the night before the tests. Blood lipid panel etc all came back really good so I know Im on the right track with my diet but my testosterone is the...

I am on test cyp injections twice a week (50mg every 3.5 days and 500iu's HCG every 3.5 days). The Cyp says for intramuscular injections only. The HCG says either. I have experimented with injecting CYP into my belly fat and do not get the red face (I also may not be getting the testosterone...

Are you "low carb" by any chance? I feel exactly like your description when I maintain a low carb diet. I add back in beer and some fun foods, body doesn't really change but I feel less flat for sure.

Ok so we don’t have to convert total T to same units then? ng/mL vs pg/mL?

Thank you. Im not fully following the calculations though. Is there a place on this site (sticky) that goes through this? Very helpful advice in the end Im not probably going to worry about it for now.

not sure where I read this but I think the ratio of free t to estradiol is becoming increasingly important to libido. I wonder if there is a magic ratio number. I was thinking if I could keep the free t where it is and get the estradiol down a bit it could be better but I don't want to play with...

the other day I took a full weeks dose all at once and felt really good for two or 3 days. Still feel fine but it was a noticeable difference. Your suggesting I go to an even smaller dose and do sit more EOD. I may try that but I do wonder if that's too many injections. Any thoughts on how I...

Labs are what is recommended here (DiscountLabs). Don't have any other symptoms really. Just always see the high number (35 is very top of reference range) and have fat in areas I wish I didn't. I do crossfit up to 5 days per week. Still drink and haven't got diet fully dialed but not bad either...

Free T is 17.8 pg/mL and sensitive estradiol number is 35. They did not test for "free E" which i have never heard of before. Test Cyp injections every 3.5 days of .25ml (sorry wrote mg). I do not have a current SHBG but all the tests in the past have had it in the 20-25 range so tight in...

I take twice a week test cyp injections at around .25mg each injection. That's all I take. Most recent results Total T = 664 ng/dl Free T = 17.8n pg/mL Sensitive E = 35 pg/mL I do not have a recent SHBG test and after reading these forums I guess that's something I should test for next time...

Chasing numbers maybe but wanted to run this by you guys FSH is .2(L) Ref Range is 1.5 - 12.4 mIU/ml Free T is 3.5 (for some reason total T was left off this report but I'm getting it) Estradiol Level (not the sensitive test) 49 (H) Ref Range is 7 - 43 pg/mL I may do the sensitive...

I have a friend that just got a clean bill of health after dealing with chemo for quite a while. He was a fit, vibrant guy going into this thing and has ended up on the other end cancer free but over weight and very lethargic. I'm a believer in the diet/cancer connection and have shared with...

I'm glad you posted this. I wish more people would take a look at this guy and help me understand what might be going on. For those that don't know who he is he is an absolute specimen. Giant 51 year old guy with low body fat and weighs in around 240 I think. Has set all kinds of indoor rowing...

Ill start with question first then you can read as much or as little of this thread as you want. Should I supplement with Pregnenolone and/or DHEA? I listend to a podcast with Dr Rob Kominiarek. He was discussing pregnenolone and how important it can be for some men with regards to short term...

So I discussed this with the pharmacist and he said it has the same effect via nasal spray or injection. Said it was the same LH pathway. I'm lost on this one honestly. How would HCG effect weight loss? Same as testosterone therapy?

My PC has not prescribed HCG before and needs to do a little research. I called a custom medicine shop who's owner I know. He told me he does not do injectables but does the nasal spray version for clients (under prescription only) and has good results. He said he did not see any argument for...

This is exactly the podcast that got me thinking about Metformin. I need to watch it though as I only listened in my car. Good stuff. I actually shared this with my PC to remind him about the drug and what it can do for a huge part of his patient population. We are probably going to have to...

You're talking about my testosterone numbers correct? I'm comfortable there and not really making changes - just wondering if there were any known issues with high free T. Total is fine and also recognizing when the test were taken. My real concern is with blood sugar disregulation and I think...

fascinating. Thank you!

Would you say your numbers were similar? That's probably whats going on. My liver is releasing glucose in the morning. Could be stress via cortisol since I wake up and check emails every morning at 5. Metformin might help but I don't see any info on what they mean numerically by "high"

I think it is 103 (Mean Bld Glucose). HCT is 48. I do not think we tested for SHBG this time nor DHT. My PC Dr is really just getting into hormone replacement therapy. I went to a specialist for initial TRT but now moving back to my PC because he is invested in learning more about this and will...

Great forum. Thank you in advance for answering my questions. I'm on TRT since mid summer. Feel pretty good. Still dialing in the dosage. Got some numbers back Free T is at 32. Pretty much double the upper end of the range per the test report. Total T is around 1050. I know why I got so high...
