This is in reference to the study Harmonized Reference Ranges for Circulating Testosterone Levels in Men of Four Cohort Studies in the United States and Europe. which brought down the lab range of total T to 264 - 916 in April of 2017. There is a follow up letter to the editor in November 2017...

Thanks for all the responses, guys. So my Estradiol (NOT using sensitive method) went from 20.5 to 34.9 [7.6 - 42.6] in the month+ of my TRT regimen. I didn't say anything to the T clinic when they gave me the anastrazole. I'm just not going to take it (also, the clinician wrongly told me the...

Hey guys. I'm starting with Defy in a week or two, but currently at an anti-aging clinic. About a month ago I started on 100mg/week test cyp, 250iu HCG/week. I feel great. I have no symptoms of high estrogen at this point. I just got some blood work back and will post later, but for now my...

I've seen you guys mention the honeymoon effect quite a bit. Can you elaborate on what exactly is going on (other than simply I feel great because I have higher levels of testosterone, and I'm not "used to it" yet), or share a good link? Sorry if this is stickied, or I missed something!

Sorry, you're correct. The range I quoted above is the standard, and the sensitive range is 8.0-35.0 as per the Defy results (so I initially got standard test, and Defy ordered sensitive). I meant to include that in my OP but didn't want to over complicate, as mainly I was looking at the...

I started with a men's clinic on TRT at the end of June, and want to switch to Defy as I am not too impressed with the men's clinic, so I got labs done pre-TRT (of course), and then just got results from my most recent labs from Defy, which were done fasted in the AM on my injection day (so I'm...

Thanks, Coast. Read a lot of your posts recently. The Estradiol test I listed was ordered by myself, very early on in my education. I'm a little confused as to where to go from here. I do consider the clinic I'm going to somewhere between a specialty clinic and a T-mill: they were very quick...

Thanks for your reply, System. I did mention in the OP that they put me on HCG as well as the 150mg dose of test cyp. once per week. Do you agree with others that dosage is high just starting out? Agreed on the self injection. They said they will let me do it at home. Now, that doesn't mean...

Thanks for your thoughts! More than once a week makes logical sense to me, too (and echoes everything I've read), but I looked at some of the studies and it doesn't seem like 1x/week is THAT bad (certainly not as bad as 1 injection/2 weeks). Honestly, my guess is that the clinic does it for...

32 year old male, 5'9 150lbs. Eat well, sleep well, drink a bit, lift weights, and surf. Sedentary desk job. Last few years I have exhibited what are now known to me as classic test deficiency symptoms - with the exception that I hadn't yet experienced any loss of libido or inability to get...
