I take Test C 50mg E3.5D. My atrophy and shrinkage went away quickly after starting my initial HCG dosage of 500iu E3.5D, injected on same days as T. Within 30 days of starting hcg, I was back to normal in size and no pain. My E2 was over range at that point and I still responded to the HCG...

Glad it works for you. Working with what I consider the best in Defy, HCG to this point has not had the libido or well being impact for me. It has eliminated atrophy and shrinkage. They have managed my E2 throughout the process with arimidex consistently 25-30 range. I did not drop the dose...

So true. I have tried 500iu E3.5D and 250iu MWF.....all either did was significantly raise my E2.....I then went to 100IU daily and still got 0 benefit from a feeling or libido standpoint. I decided to try and find the minimum dosage that keeps my “nuts” full, with no atrophy pain and that was...

Lifting Yep. I donate every 6 weeks and this is the larger concern. I made this mistake lifting the same day and had major bruising with some bleeding. I find that I need to hydrate well and then lift 24 hours later works well for me.

Yes, it gets old, but Low T was a lot worse!!!

I take losartan everyday. Has 0 effect on HCT for me. I have to phlebotomy every 6 weeks religiously.

My PSA prior to trt was .4 now is .8. Has doubled causing concern with the doc. But still low range.

I have been on e3.5d 50-60mg test c protocol for the past 3 months. I pin HCG on same days at 500iu. My question is two part: 1) my SHBG runs mid 40’s and I have to keep my total T consistently above 1200 to get to the 2% free range.....would I be better served to go to a weekly injection...

I tried it and some of the other supplement ideas here to no avail. My SHBG was on the high side at 50 when I started injections and stayed there even doing larger weekly T shots. I changed my shot days and added a small AI dosage of .125 (E3.5D) 10 weeks ago. I was having very sore nipples...

I like 26g 5/8 needle in delts. Filling needle is fast, 5/8 is great for shallow IM.

I think we are similar in this fashion. I will stay with the HCG protocol for now just for the aesthetics and the recommendation of the doc. I also added DHEA/Preg at the same time as HCG with no noticeable difference. It is quite amazing how differently and individually we respond to...

I am a defy patient and using Empower Pharmacy HCG as many do here, so I take it as good quality.

I feel pretty good overall. Was just a little surprised with the results. I am pretty anal on timing of dosages, not perfect but pretty darn close. I also do my blood draw on trough day before my Tuesday morning injection at approx. 8:30am each time. I really can’t tell much difference from...

Just received my most recent tests back today and am a little confused. I have been on 50mg test c E3.5D and 500iu HCG E3.5D for last 10 weeks. My total test levels with same T injection schedule was 986 prior to adding HCG. After adding HCG my total T levels have lowered to 846 total T at 5...

I like this one because it is sublingual and it works for me...25mg a day raised my levels from 116 to 464 and over range in 5 weeks. Have now backed off to 1/2 a pill daily. Anabol Naturals DHEA-RejuvapleX 60 Peppermint Sublingual Tablets: 25mg DHEA, 175mg L-Glutamine, 50mcg Sublingual B12...

Hope it works well for you. Mine had risen to 52 about 10 weeks ago and typically fluctuated between 40 and 50. Most would say I did not need an AI, and by the numbers I would agree....but my symptoms said otherwise! I dose T CYP 50mg every 3.5D, with 500iu HCG same schedule. I was very...

That’s the value of this site. The doc actually wanted to start me a little higher in dosage, but through all the examples here, I convinced them to start at the smaller compounded dosage.....you can always add if needed and I had a phobia of crashing E2 to start with.

One thing that is hard for many of us is chasing the number vs how do you feel. Me personally I have high E2 symptoms with sensitive nipples, cystic acne, and bloat when I get over a sensitive test range of 45. I hesitantly started my AI regimen at a compounded dose of .125mg twice weekly on...

As some have said, just go to your local walk in clinic and ask for an employment physical. Cost me $75 at my local MedExpress. Defy does not care if it is on their form or not.

This is a great idea that would be an awesome service at the right price. I have hemochromatosis and have a phlebotomy every 6 weeks or so. My doc will not allow my HCT to get over 49 or HGB over 17 before pulling a pint. He also keeps a close watch on ferritin and iron levels. I have a CBC...

Thanks for the input. I may just take my whole regimen thru Defy. Will Cost a little more out of pocket, but don’t have to be the one continuously trying to educate the doc!

Just got my 6 weeks labs back after switching to Defy for HCG. Initial labs at consult were: Total T 1117 ng/dl range 264-916 Free T 29.7 pg/ml range 7.2-24.0 Estradiol sens 45.3pg/ml range 8.0-35 Shbg 46.2 nmol/l range 19.3-76.4 DHEA-s 116 ug/dl range 71.6-375.4 Progesterone .4g/dL range 0-.5...

Same here. I was already on TRT through my hematologist and wanted to add HCG and additional expertise I could not get in my area. Positive experience with Defy so far as well. Had my consult last week and all meds arrived today.

Thanks for your insights. Very helpful.

Actually went up from 36 to 43. I was quite surprised, as I had hoped more frequent injections would have lowered E2.

Last labs were pulled at 5 weeks after moving from weekly injections to E3.5D.

Just had my consult with the doc and I am adding HCG to my regimen. I inject E3.5D 50mg test c and will be adding 500iu HCG on the same injection schedule. I know all of us are different, but wanted some feedback on the effect of adding HCG to both E2 and testosterone. My total test is 1117...

I have hemochromatosis and have to give a liter of blood every 4-6 weeks to keep my numbers in check. My doc sends me to a local oncology clinic for my phlebotomy. With my condition the blood cannot be reused either.

All- Thanks for your input!

No symptoms or issues at all. Feel really good! I am waiting on my scheduled date with defy for consult and to potentially start hcg. I am a little concerned adding HCG may send my e2 over the top. I would like to avoid using an AI if at all possible.

What's really uncommon is my e2 sensitive actually increased with the E3.5D protocol. I went from slightly over @ 36.3 to now 46.4.
