Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree to hope to start out between 100-150 a week as well. My blood count numbers are high because I was on iron supplements for over a year to drive my iron levels back up after a continuous bleed. I just stopped taking them three days ago. Normally my blood numbers...

After years of trying other methods, and dodging going full go, I am finally starting a TRT regiment very soon. I finished my intake in my labs with Defy, and I have my initial consult on Monday afternoon. Looking forward to getting a full rundown of what they think of my labs. After looking at...

My triglycerides are good, 94 fasting a month ago. Fasting glucose was 97 back in the spring.
