Correct, i don't bother with insurance

It's $118 for pregnyl 10,000 iu including next day shipping.

I am pretty sure I notice a significant variation in the 'potency' of effect on pregnyl from vial to vial. If I understand correctly, it's purified from pregnant women's urine? I have no idea what standards are in place for their manufacturing practices, but it would seem plausible that there is...

FWIW I dealt with a similar situation last year. I ended up talking with a life insurance *broker* (not agent), who was more comfortable dealing with 'special cases' -- i.e. people with conditions/medications that are more difficult to underwrite. She knew right away which...

I'm intrigued by the idea of estrogen injections and am going to look into this. I have difficulty keeping estrogen high enough and feel better when it's high. Partly genetic, plus probably my low dose danazol to supress high shbg from t3 only thyroid replacement also affects estrogen. I also...

My sleep has been a bit worse since starting T over 15 years ago. Keeping the dose as low as possible where the benefits exceed the downsides is what I've done (~70 mg/week of cyp, split in 2 shots). Doing the shots in the morning helps. Taking saw palmetto (for me only 2x/week) helps, as I seem...

In my experience with extensive testing and measuring with various hcg and fsh doses the past few years, a low dose of hcg every other day might reach your goals of preventing e2 increase but maintaining Fertility. It will work better than moderate to high dose 1 or 2x weekly. Check my most...

I've been on and off HCG (varying doses) while on TRT (varying doses) for about 15 years. Several others have said it best- how it affects you and whether you 'need' it is very dependent on the individual and trial and error is probably the only way to know. Here are a few things I've learned...

I was in the same situation a year ago and I tested semen right before and right after because I was freezing a bunch for future use. Bottom line, in my case counts went down from a concentration of 198 million per ML (5ml ejaculate in the sample=400 million total motile count) to 44 million per...

I have my provider send into Optum Specialty in Arizona and it's somewhere around $120 per 10,000 iu vial of brand name pregnyl. Lasts 8 weeks until it loses significant potency they say. So then about $60 per month. They ship quickly, directly to my house. I think fast shipping is important so...

Ipa alone 300 to 400 before bed daily improved my sleep,mood, body comp for 3 years. Then things changed and every night I used it, it made sleep worse. Tried in varying dosages ultimately gave up. I'm convinced at this point in my understanding that the reason it was helping at first is...

I use search regularly

Fwiw, I'm very skeptical of this video from Justin Groce. I wonder if he has significant clinical experience testing rt3 and treating people.

I've been getting Pregnyl from optum speciality in AZ since the compounding pharmacies stopped making it in 2021. I asked defy to Rx higher dose than I actually take so I get more vials at the same time, and pay the defy call in fee. They ship overnight so it's not sitting in heat. I pay about...

Do you mind sharing how you are applying the cream, dose, and the source? I've heard different compounders have different cream formulations and it results in a very different absorption profile.
