Alright cool! How do I put an order in with them exactly?

Stress wouldn't surprise me. While hiking today it got worse, and it was a pretty hefty climb. Concentration is the same between the bottles, but it's odd that Perrigo switches bottles between a clear one and a brown one (with different tops on them). I was asking my NP about HCG, and turns out...

I was out hiking today, saw your post, and it gave me some time to think of anything remotely different recently. Here goes: Was in Europe (3 month trip) until 2nd week of May, drank a lot of beer in Germany Had to move out of NYC apartment when I returned, landlord was (as usual) being super...

Just seems so odd that it happened very suddenly. Had it progressed over the last year, it would make more sense as just atrophy and all that - to be expected after a few years. The trouble peeing seems directly correlated with this penis length/girth shrinkage. With the testicle size, I have...

Hey all, I don’t come by here much these days as my protocol has been pretty spot on. 154mg T cyp a week, EOD when I travel for long periods, and ED when I’m at home. Haven’t needed Cialis in forever, and the lady is quite happy. Recently (like in the last couple of weeks), my scrotum has...

I’m almost out of Empower t cyp and my new urologist fills my script with Perrigo. Mine is manufactured by Hikma specifically. I’m wondering if I should keep my dose the same or plan to adjust. Any experiences?

Thanks Madman, really helpful post as always. I've heard mixed things about HCG and hunger as well as water weight gain. It seems to be unrelated to estrogen, and that it does go away. Regardless, I'm having some issues with anxiety and insomnia on HCG as well and will probably just go back to...

Has anyone else experienced weight gain on HCG? I'm also on an antidepressant known for weight gain (Nardil) but I've been fine mysteriously until the day I started HCG recently. Suddenly had tons of food cravings and put on a few pounds (which I suspect is water but who knows).

4 days in. Insomnia building up, and some anxiety. Going to stick with it a bit longer and see how it goes - unfortunately this is pretty much what happens every time I've tried HCG :/

Oh man, I wish I'd read about this sooner. I didn't realize it was such a drain on ferritin. I've never had elevated blood markers, but just felt it was a good way to keep them in check while doing some good. Think I'm going to hold off on donating for a bit and then limit it to just a few...

I donate every couple months - as much as they'll let me. Whole blood. Going today actually! I'm waiting to get another TT/FT test back now to see if the last one was accurate. I've never seen my E2 so low for such a high TT so I'm questioning it.

appreciate this reply a ton. I just want to maintain fertility. I’d prefer to avoid any accidents until we’re ready though.

I've always gotten the best symptom relief over 30 FT I've noticed. But when I start pushing it past 40, I notice I get really moody. My bloodwork still comes back good though. I do donate blood regularly too to keep this in check. It's tough for me to titrate to symptoms with HCG as I really...

Thanks for the post Madman. I've heard about this in a Youtube video, that new research is showing smaller doses may work just as well for keeping the testicals alive. I wouldn't mind that in an effort to keep mine from producing sperm yet - I'm still a few years away from having kids and...

I'm trying to have my levels retested today. I feel well, so I don't want to drop them aggressively like I have in the past. Thing is, months ago I was at a nice 800 TT off the same dose.

Curious how this goes for you man. I think I'm just going to go for it, 300IU every other day. I'm still using the last of my Empower T cyp, and I want to try this before I run out and switch to the brand from Dr Rotman's pharmacy. I've seen way too much fluctation.

Got there myself back when I was seeing Dr Saya. So I'm figuring HCG every other day.

Thanks guys. I'm shocked I don't feel anxious and angry at this dose. I also feel it may be inaccurate as my FT and E2 are much lower than they were when my TT came back at 1500 on 200mg/week. This test was done by my urologist, using an unknown lab out of his office. I have a physical this...

I've done poorly the last couple times I tried HCG, but my girlfriend and doctor and I decided to give it one more shot to help preserve fertility in the coming years. Plus, this is the first year that I've learned to leave my T cyp dose alone, and have really positive/consistent results. I...

I considered this, but thought I'd get it over with more quickly then. Also when I dropped from 200 to 150 last year, I remember it being pretty smooth.

Appreciate it, the toughest part is that I just waited out my doctor's suggested dose increase the last 3 months only for them to get mad and tell me to lower it now. I do feel a better better today so there's hope.

My recent bloods on 200mg/week of T cyp came back as: TT: >1500 FT: >50 E2: 61 Doctor freaked out and told me to lower my dose. I took 3 days off, then went back to 150mg/week, which has worked well for me in the past from what I remember. But I'm in my own personal hell still. No motivation...

howd you get such a low dose? Dissolve in alcohol?

That's where it gets weird...I've been trying quinagolide (another dopamine agonist from Canada), and just like cabergoline and bromocriptine, it's worsening my sexual function. I'm not sure if it's too much or what.

Just got some bloodwork back...I've had macroprolactin for a while (supposedly biologically inactive prolactin bound to IgG) but it's hitting some new highs lately, while sexual function is hitting new lows. My neuroendocrinologist thought it was from elevated E2 from TRT (E2 can drive...

Could be. With levels of "only" 700 I could see 2 days messing those up. When I was over 900, I could go 3 days without noticing anything. I'll try it again, but I definitely can't go through a week like that if it keeps getting worse.

SQ seems to be the way for now. A member on another forum said he felt lousy when starting IM too, but for now I'm more concerned about why I'm only at 700 on 200mg/week when I used to be at nearly double that. I did reach out to Defy and asked if there's any chance of it being a bad bottle...

You got it. But I did raise my dose fairly recently, in all fairness. But I did expect higher. I'm going to try IM again in a week or two. So far I feel like crap within a day of every IM injection. Doesn't make any sense, but keeps happening. I expected it to work better too, so I highly doubt...

Hey guys, wanted to update with my levels. This is after increasing to 200mg/week. Glad I got my E2 up again, but I'm shocked my TT is still so low. It used to be easy as hell to break 1000...to the point I had to cut back! Could this be from low SHBG?

Dr Saya, but the recommendation came from one of the nurses. I can't blame her for suggesting that when my TT came back at 600 on 150mg/week. FWIW, in the past on 200mg/week, my TT was driving my E2 high enough that my balls finally pulled up some. That hasn't happened in months now.

Appreciate that haha. I find her super attractive...but that said I haven't found any girls super attractive in a while. I think I mentioned already, I used to think it was problematic that I'd wake up and always want to rub one out but that hasn't happened in a while now. I actually went 10...
