Sorry to hear that. Yes, surgeons predominantly want to do surgery, but there are other options if the cancer is localized and contained well within the gland. TULSA PRO, HIFU, Laser, etc I had my 3rd MRI and the lesion is looking a bit worse, and prostate volume has increased. The lesion has...

HCG degrades quickly and the molecule in the world of drug molecules is fragile. Typically the instructions for HCG are to discard after a month. I would not use any that was more than a couple months old. The fresher the better. Also, depending on where you are, HCG can be bought for much...

Taking up arms over dogma is what science is all about.

So your hematocrit is high? Yes blood donation is the norm, but check your ferritin. Hydration will not reduce the number of cells, and your body will seek homeostatis, meaning overhydrating won't last, is not sustainable. Overdoing just pure water can lead to hyponatremia. There are guys...

I was monitored for liver enzymes at first. I discovered the possible cause for my symptoms while traveling and decided to stop taking lipitor. That was after a year taking it. AST, ALT and CPK were elevated three weeks after discontinuing, My cardiologist confirmed that my decision to stop the...

Happened to me, my T dropped while on statins, which came with long term muscle damage, impaired exercise tolerance and liver signs and symptoms. This picture is too clear in my mind for this to be co-incidental as reason to discount statins being the cause. The T did not rebound after...

Life span of red blood cell, about 120 days. While you can see changes sooner as they occur, the endpoint from red blood cell turnover takes that long. Then further changes can also occur. 1 month will not "reset" RBCs and hematocrit.

Hooray! I wrote my congressman on that one. His sig is not on that letter :(

30g, 5/16", 0.3ml SubQ here. With 1" you are no doubt going IM, but many use 1/2" length for shallow IM.

I lost track. You take care too!

I don't live for this forum nor do I catch everything. What are you referring to?

Harmonization will be harmonious if they ever get to that point.

Zat right?

So you did. The following excess threw me off.

They don't even use the same units for free T, EQ dialysis: Labcorp 5-21 ng/dl Quest 35-155 pg/ml

LOL! How about the dose 75mg divided by 5, the number of days = 15mg/day times however many days you want? times 7 days= 105mg Times 365 days= 5475mg, buy how often do we adjust dosage based on the yeary total? LOL! 1 dose

The fickle nature of anecdote. I just had the opposite happen (N=1): Testosterone assay experts... puzzling results

I know that the timing may be off, but first round of tests at 8 weeks after starting looked pretty good as representative at least of a daily swing. The Quest labs here are at least in agreement on the higher level mid day compared to morning before injection. I still don't know what to make of...

Followup, I retested trough with Quest LC/MS, equilibrium dialysis. Seems more in line. I still don;t know how to interpret vermuelen in context with Quest and Tru-T (below): Vermuelen: Tru-T: Free Testosterone: 0.95 nMol/L 27.27 ng/dL

Your picture shows T cyp 1ml with benzyl alcohol and benzoate. If that is what you actually have, you have no worries about drawing multiple doses as needed

I think Systemlord got you covered since I responded... Just add: Do not discount lower dose as useful. I may soon be reducing from 56mg/week because I am running a little high. Waiting for a second round lab tests because the high numbers seem a fluke. Different combo of esters, but total...

Likewise, lab numbers need to be accompanied with reference ranges, Free T at 38 on the generic labcorp direct test is high (Yours probably is, due to the context of 1500). On Quest equilibrium dialysis it is middle of the range. The total T over 1500 does imply high hematocrit. Apparently you...

Not enough info to make specific recommendations When you post what you are taking, .2 and .3 means nothing without knowing what substance, what units and what concentration. Is that mg or ml? And what is the substance? Assuming testosterone, what ester, and what concentration? T comes in...

14 is indeed high. If you are having no prostate or lower urinary tract symptoms, I am a bit more worried. If you had symptoms, it could just be from BPH. If you had any urinary tract infection symptoms, could be infection. I would not put off diagnosis, but I also would not rush anything. Some...

@Nelson Vergel , what enzymes do you use?

Thank Madman. Exactly what I feared on two fronts: 1: While I don't intend Keto anyway, it is as I thought with getting enough carb to build mass. Difficult scenario. I am not really building with quite a lot of carb intake, even though most of it is lower GI. 2: Having to calculate carb...

I am on a current somewhat tenuous rebound from leukemia, in deep enough remission that things are improving for now. I had a terrible time for the better part of 3 years trying to maintain body weight due to the cancer itself, anemia, transfusional iron overload, and nutrient malabsorption due...

Thanks, I should be getting SHBG and E2 results back soon, taken at the same time, and get ongoing regular CBCs, so know where albumin runs. I have sent a request to my PCP with explanation asking for another test to redo trough.

I am following up on my most recent protocol: Daily T cyp/prop results I am taking T cyp/prop blend at 4:3 ratio, 56mg daily, and HCG 400iu E4D. I wanted to see peak and trough, so got two blood draws. One was covered by insurance through labcorp, the other I bought on discounted labs since it...

No worries, your points are on target. My concern is for the OP. If you look into his history here, I think you will understand.
