[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 15710, member: 696"] Don, I'm a KP So Cal guy also. That's where it all started for me over 6 years ago. That was my wake-up call to start doing some serious research ... I have all sorts of stories, sad but true, here's one example ... My GP referred me to an endo at one of the main facilities in the IE. She had me on 100mg of Cyp, 1x per week, that was my program. I picked the stuff up at their pharmacy per her Rx, and injected at home. I met the endo and he said 100mg was way toooo much, it might could get my serum over 650ng/dl, which would be dangerous! Then he said ALL shots had to be administered by him or a nurse. I asked why, he said because testosterone is a "Schedule III Controlled Substance". He claimed that the word "Controlled" meant that it had to be controlled in their possession. I asked about vicodin and other "controlled" medications that patients take home?? He got pissed and told me to talk to him when I get my medical degree, which then I would understand how this all works. Don, kid you not, this all happened at KP, and that was only the starting point with this clown! OK, back on topic .. Yeah, just bite the bullet and get some of these labs through Discount. Free test can also be calculated from SHBG and albumin, so in the event you end up having those with your total serum, we can calculate it from there. As far as my thoughts on it ... It's really anyone's guess. Depending again on SHBG, you could be really anywhere from 1% to 4% of total serum; ideally IMO 2% to 3% is an ideal area to be.

Hope that gives you some additional perspective, and maybe some support to know that KP can actually be a great motivator with getting familiar with all of this! :) [/QUOTE]
