Hi Vince. I don't know why glucose was 39. I believe the lab repeated the assay from a retained sample and confirmed the result. No prior history of severe hypoglycemia. A1C has trended in a good range.

serum goal is T=200 according to my primary care "doctor". Estradiol via siemens vista is 72 Total cholesterol 171 mg/dL <200 mg/dL Triglyceride 116 mg/dL <150 mg/dL HDL cholesterol 42 mg/dL >40 mg/dL LDL Calculated 106 mg/dL <100 mg/dL H Cholesterol to HDL Ratio 4.1 <5.0 Cholesterol/HDL...

Got a therapeutic phlebotomy scheduled for tomorrow but thinking I won't bother. It was a three week battle to get the order. Four years ago things were looking bright with text book perfect labs and BP 115. Today it was 182/104 after moving up from 140's in recent weeks from the stress of...

After the site changeover I gave up trying to log in with my old handle. TRT, if you can call it that, began decades ago for me. At the young age of 59 some seven years ago I was wasting away under the "care" of charlatans and searching for burial sites until I discovered this site. Entrust...

Today marks the sixth year I think after discovering this forum. Up until that day I had received only fake TRT for several decades from men masquerading as medical doctors. With the information gained here I'm doing fairly well under self-managed TRT care. I'd love to have labs to share. I...

People confuse toxic PFOA with the inert PTFE used in cookware. PFOA is nicely distributed about the planet including the troposphere. It does not easily degrade. Just one of the many chemical anthropomorphic legacies of Earth. Stress is refractory to cardio vascular health. Continued...

Most cook with excessively high temperature and or unattended and therefore should avoid PTFE. Inhalation of vapors from overheated PTFE is of far more concern than ingestion. All coated pans except those of the highest quality employ low quality fragile coatings even if labeled "Genuine...

Most keep track of their T dosing in terms of mg per week. 0.35ml of 200 mg/ml strength medicine is 70mg. Your weekly dose is 140 mg. I hope you are watching your E2 serum levels closely because you can quickly run in to trouble with anastrozole. Others have reported success in lowering E2...

You asked about purity. Vascepa is pure EPA. One gram EPA per capsule. Unlike supplements it is an Rx so purity and strength are assured. Lovaza delivers DHA and EPA together. Rx for these is usually to control serum triglycerides but have the same off-label benefits claimed from fish oil...

Loss of masculine traits is correlated to endocrine state. Soy is increasingly important as a protein source in an era of rapidly rising food prices. Men need to know how much is safe to eat. We can get there without marginalizing others. "Pathetic" rejected ostracized for failing to...

Form of T taken? Protocol? Labs with ranges? MODS: Please move this to the Dear Abby section. O.P. and others seeking help prior to posting in a specific forum on EM thank you for first reading the stickies, rules and format requested for that specific forum.

Testicular pain can result from hCG activating or causing growth in testicular tissue. I experienced occasional pains, some sharp, during the first year or so of hCG use which was hCG monotherapy. Dr Allan Pont, Sutter Health Endocrinology Dept chair, strongly opposes hCG. His trt approach...

A small number of people have an adverse reaction to a particular oil in their medicine. Many others may experience a slight reaction or one which builds over time but have not made the connection to the oil. Big Pharma isn't about to study these adverse reactions or invest in more hypo...

You have decided to "stay on the safe side". This entails adhering to the same rules medical professionals are obliged to follow under pain of loosing their license. Reuse a syringe? No not ever. As to why I engaged previously in the above mentioned bad practices it was because by the time...

All schedules? How does this alter the current situation such as I've never met my telemed doc yet he's already been writing t cyp scripts for years? If my doc did not need "special registration" before but now he does how is this a good thing?

Are you using a 500cc syinge? It's really tough to accurately dose 0.08 ml. What happens when you dose EOD?

Initiate whatever hCG protocol you want right away without waiting. The single 5000 iu dose you took is already metabolized. No harm, it's a fertility dose. 200 to 500 iu twice or three times weekly is a maintenance dose. If you've been on TRT for a long time then it is likely that it will...

Who convinced you to chase numbers? Have you previously established that your optimized clinical response is only at FT = 24-25 pg/ml?

My doc has drawn for assay and run simultaneously ECILA and sensitive. I've posted the results here before. No consistent correlation at all. CRP was not discussed here at the time of posting. I will now retrospectively look at CRP because this assay was also run.

Standard strength is 200 mg/ml not 200 mg/10 ml. You may have misread the script or there was a typo. Either way I'd be scrambling for another doc if I received instructions to inject only once ever 14 days. Acceptable protocols are discussed extensively in the stickies. dispensing...

Mike, you asked if there is any reason not to re-enter a second vial with the same syringe. The correct answer is that reentering a vial with a needle previously dipped in anything violates the rules of sanitary procedure and increases risk of contamination. Any contamination will persist in...

Hello Nelson, You replied to the contact form via email however there was no link to password reset in your reply.

Cross contamination of vials. Water and oil don't mix. Not worth doing this to save a few pennies on syringes. From one who use to commingle before realizing any perceived benefit was imaginary.

Once you have learned the essentials, about a year of study, and done your own testing "transfer" in to a new primary care doc. List your current meds on the intake. At the close of your new pt visit where you have discussed any health concern except TRT your new doc will ask you what Rx...

Hello, now i can be a noob all over again.
