    Can HcG alone (withOUT T-cypionate) help sex drive & increase overall testosterone?

    I've found it to be better than compounded hcg and hcg purchased from reliablerx. I personally like it. HCG makes me feel great. Higher libido, mentally better. However, if I over do it I can get anxious and high E2 symptoms. I use 500 iu 2-3x a week, .35 test cyp 2x/ week, and anastrozole...

    Advice needed: HCG side effects

    Anastrozole. I use .125 mg 3-4 week. This is a very strong medication and everyone reacts differently to it. Use with caution.

    Compound Pharmacy Kickbacks

    It's not a kickback unless the doctor receives payment from a federal or state program. That's how the US Code is written. Private pay and private insurance are free to enter all sorts of different types of business partnerships. It's not illegal and it's actually quite common.

    Defy insurance claims

    Blue Cross covers my labs with defy. I've attempted to do a super bill in the past from a trt provider. Blue Cross denied the whole thing.

    Advice needed: HCG side effects

    HCG raises estrogen in a lot of men. You are taking approximately 2000 iu of HCG a week, which would almost certainly raise your estrogen to a high level. This probably needs to be balanced with anastrozole, to reduce E2. All that said, get labs with a sensitive estrogen test to see where you...

    TRT alleviating depression?

    Same. TMS was helpful. TRT didn't relieve depression, but it did reduce irritability for me.

    Does depression from low testosterone feel different from "regular" depression?

    I'll chime in. Yes TRT can help with PTSD, it assisted in calming my anger/irritability. I'm a Combat vet, diagnosed with PTSD and MDD. That being said it doesn't resolve it. For me the only major relief came from serious trauma therapy (EMDR), TMS for depression, and leaning into my Christian...

    FDA Evaluation Criteria weighs against Enclomiphene Citrate being added to the 503A Bulks List

    My favorite bullet point..."It is unclear whether increasing testosterone confers clinical benefit."

    Enclomiphene WAS working fantastically. What todo now?

    Sheesh....FDA is making all sorts of problems, everywhere.

    Something as effective for joints as Nandrolone

    Enclomiphine timing

    Right, I had to look this up. It's 1% or less in female patients on clomid. I'm sure it carries a similar profile in men on enclomiphene. Anecdotally speaking, there are three to four of us on this form reporting insomnia with enclomiphene. It occurred to me both times I used it. I did not have...

    Enclomiphine timing

    Insomnia appears to be a common side effect of enclomiphene. I certainly dealt with it while I was taking it, as well as skin sensitivity and a little bit of anxiety. I was most successful with 12.5 mg every other day. Anything more than that built up in my system and caused pretty severe...

    Low Squats.

    I almost never do back squats. I really enjoy deadlift, front squats, goblet squats. Basically, anything you can bail out of. All of these exercises (leg press less so) build stability, core strength, and balance. Definitely good for you overall.

    experience with sciatica?

    For what it's worth, I used to get terrible sciatic nerve pain down my left leg and occasionally right. This was completely resolved by starting yoga and exercising in a way that strengthened my core all the way around. I was a pretty avid crossfitter, but I found this created muscle imbalances...

    hCG -> Gonadorelin differences?

    Unfortunately they are entirely different. Without getting technical, hcg simulates the chemical (LH) that causes your testicles to start working. Gonadorelin tells your brain to release the chemical that hcg simulates. In order for gonadorelin to work you would have to use it numerous times...

    Official Natesto Thread

    TLawyer, thanks for trying this combination. I've been considering going back on in enclomiphene and had wondered if they would allow someone to try nasal application at the same time. I'll be curious to watch your results and subjective outcomes. My labs always looked great on enclomiphene, but...

    Empower Pharmacy Hair Loss Products... Anybody using?

    I'm not sure what a good thing to mix it with is. I've ordered it through Empower and through Hallandale. Hallandale uses some kind of an oil mixture which is much easier to deal with than Empower's mixture, which feels more chemical and dries tacky.

    Getting ready to stop TRT.... What do I need to know?

    Thanks for posting this. I started TMS today and I'm hopeful it will help. I've been through a lot of treatments/medications in the past decade wrestling with PTSD/Depression. I just went through EMDR which was very helpful for dealing with trauma and anxiety/hyper vigilance. Coming out of...

    Nandrolone Experiences

    Dixie, exact same experience for me. Tried it twice in the last 6 months and had to stop due to the emotional/mental toll. Made me very irritable and depressed. To the point, my wife has asking if I was taking something different. Happened both times. It takes several weeks to get out of your...

    Defy Medical HCG Shortage?

    I ordered 3 and only received 2 (defy/hallandale). Apparently they will send the remainder later. Would have been nice to get a heads up how they're processing these now.

    3 months on HCG Monotherapy - more questions than answers

    You need labs to show how the HCG is affecting you. I also tried HCG monotherapy with some success, however, it usually leads to high estrogen levels. For me high estrogen leads to loss of libido, insensitivity during sex, lowered mood. Doses of HCG above 1000iu to 1500iu a week can cause...

    Defy Medical HCG Shortage?

    I received the same notice. They're going to have to develop a workaround. As of now they generally don't write scripts for HCG out of state.

    Empower vs Pregnyl HCG

    I just got notice that Washington State can no longer receive Empower HCG. I'm hoping hallandale pharmacy doesn't also have the same fate. Does anyone know what's going on?

    Empower vs Pregnyl HCG

    Defy offers it through hallandale as well as empower. You just have to pick which one you want. The price is essentially the same.

    Empower vs Pregnyl HCG

    Funny, I was thinking about starting a post on the potency differences of HCG. I've gone back and forth between empower and hallandale, and I can honestly say hallandale is much more potent. I'm not sure what the story is with empowers HCG, but it feels very watered down and doesn't produce...

    Nandrolone Experiences

    My 2 cents ...I added nandrolone to my protocol a month ago and it has not gone well. I don't know if it is just me, but I have noticed a marked increase in agitation, irritability, and anxiety. I inject 2 x a week, weekly total of 150mg cypionate, 400 HCG, and 50 mg nandrolone. I was feeling...

    UPDATE 6 WK ON TRT - Please advise and share wisdom.

    At this point I would keep it simple. You body is or has shut down its natural production, which can causes anxiety and unease. It takes 3 to 6 months for things to stabilize. It's pretty common to want to change lots of things when you first start, but it isn't a good idea (systemlord is...
