Just checking in to give an update (especially for guys searching the internet like I did before choosing this low does clomid path for a potential restart). Two week into low does (12.5mg) clomid every day and I am really feeling great. Sleeping well, low to no anxiety. Libido is normal...

Oh...and my next blood work will be in early April after a month or so on the clomid. My last T# was in the 490s back in January, which was strange b/c without any protocol change it had gone down from 900s in October. E2 stayed around the same in mid to high teens. SHBG was in low 20s, high...

I was struggling with getting dialed in and often felt awful (although there were times when I felt like a new man). I finally got a consult with Defy after 7 months on a poorly managed TRT protocol. Dr. Saya suggested that a restart attempt might make sense b//c I am only 35 and was probably...

So now on 8th day of 12.5 mg clomid. I don't feel great, but I don't feel terrible. Been taking DIM everyday as well. Would like if my anxiety was lessened and my libido was heightened, but after not having any exogenous testosterone in over 3 weeks, I thought I'd feel worse. We shall see. I...

Yeh, I emailed Defy just to check in, I am not alarmed at all... I assume this is to be expected...

Does anyone know if there is a place for HcG in a restart protocol after teh initial "jumpstart" HcG to get the LH going and to reverse the atrophy? Probably not b/c it's suppressive as well, right? Just wondering, b/c I felt damn good for those tow weeks.

Just a quick update on my progress so far. So the two weeks (250 iu daily) of the HcG were fantastic. I hadn't felt that good in years. I haven't any cypionate for about 3 weeks ago. Over last four days I've started the 12.5 mg clomid daily that Dr. Saya prescribed. I have been feeling pretty...

So I have not had any cypionate since Feb 20th (40mg last shot) and then I did 2 weeks of 250iu of Hcg daily. Man, I felt the best I had in years on the HcG. It was crazy! I was REALLY impressed by my mood, energy, libido, and erections on the HcG. Better than I ever felt on TRT. I've also been...

After having my first consult with Dr. Saya we've decided to try a restart protocol b/c of my age (35) and the fact that it seemed as if I were secondary to begin with (low FSH and LH before TRT). I've also been on TRT a relatively short time 7-8 months. I know it might not work, but it's worth...

Very excited to finally speak to a doctor that not only knows about TRT, but is an expert! I'll let you know when how it goes...consult in on Feb 16th with Dr. Saya. I hope I can either gain consistency or maybe explore their restart protocol since I am only 35... Thanks for pointing me in the...

Thanks for all the encouragement. I just want to get straightened out. I hope Defy can help. I sent as much of my old bloodwork as I had from the first time I tested low (250) before I ever started TRT in June 2014 until yesterday. I still need a few pieces of lab work that my uro neglected to...

I had a similar blood draw (497) drawn on 1/5/16. It's really insane. I do feel bad on Sundays, but I also feel pretty bad most days. That is an insane swing, though. Hope to have all my bloodwork in order this week and consult with someone at Defy. Of course my Endo didn;t request everything...

35 y.o. 5'8'' 160 lbs, on TRT since May 2015. Gels for month, then shots. So I went in to my urologist yesterday for my 3 month check up and to get blood to start up with Defy. I have everything else over to Chelsea except for the last few required pieces of bloodwork (of course uro did not...

I wish it were easy to get there...I have two young children and am on Long Island, so getting out of state to do bloods is not practical. I am going to ask my uro on Monday for blood test scripts so that I can go to Quest on my insurance and get numbers between visits for ultrasensitive E2...

Neither are clinics. The october numbers were from my uro, who I think used bioreference laboratories. The most recent number are from my primary, who used quest. In August, both numbers were from the same primary doctore (I have since switched). NO sure the name of the lab. I wish I could...

I am actually confused by my most recent T blood work that came with this blood work...here it is: Since October my T numbers went from total 949 to 467 and free 288 to 108. No change in protocol. (40mg MWF, v low dose arimidex as needed by symptom). Although, the October numbers were done by...

Not really...I kind of guide him, but obviously not well. He listens to me and will kind of do what I ask, but he doesn't have much guidance on the matter.

no HCG. I am seeing my uro on Monday and he'll run his own blood. I am just confused. One time during the summer I had a crazy low reading as well (like 74!) that I chalked up to lab error (see here...

just had wife check at home...200mg/ml.

I'll have to check the label when I get home...

No change at all. 40MG MWF. What could cause T to drop like that with a consistent protocol? It's all very strange

I am not feeling great. Had been feeling well, then bad, then well, then bad. My T numbers dropped by 500 pts since October with no protocol or dosing change. I wonder what's going on? I see my uro on Monday. The primary who took the above tests prescribed my buspar for my anxiety. I've been...

Component Value Unit Standard Range Out of Range Glucose 95 mg/dL 65 - 99 - GlycoHgb (A1c) 5.3 % 4.0 - 6.0 - Urea Nitrogen 15 mg/dL 7 - 25 - Creatinine 0.85 mg/dL 0.50 - 1.30 - eGFR (calculation) for African-Americans 124 - >60 - eGFR (calculation) 103 - >60 - BUN/Creat Ratio 17.6...

Also since October my T numbers went from total 949 to 467 and free 288 to 108. No change in protocol. (40mg MWF, v low dose arimidex as needed by symptom). This blood was drawn on a Tuesday (i.e one day after an injection) and I hadn't taken any arimidex for a bout a week....and then it was...

I just got an estrogen blood test back from my primary. He ran it through quest and it came back at 112 pg/ml, which seems crazy high... But the reference range is 60-190 pg/ml When I looked at the quest website it indicated this is the range for adult male. Does this make any sense?

So primary doc gave me script for buspar to help with the anxiety. He suggested wellbutrin first, but I had tried that and it didn't work (well at first it did and then it pooped out). And he didn't want to try traditional SSRIs b/c of the sexual side effect profile. He didn;t want to do...

I've definitely looked at the restart protocol that you've linked and have reviewed Defy's literature on it as well. I'm only 35 and consistency has really eluded me. Started gels in May and they actually lowered my T numbers to 218, then went to two tubes, then shots in mid June and felt ok...

Hi all, So i have had (as many here have) ups and downs and a bit of a roller coaster ride on my 7+ month TRT journey. Current protocol is 40MG cypionate MWF and very small doses (1/8mg) of arimidex as needed by symptoms. When my lows are there, my libido and erectile function arr really...

Has anyone had any issues with gout flare up on this stack? I have had gout in the past and I know that Arginine can raise uric acid levels and cause a gout attack. I haven't had an attack in a while and no longer need my daily allopurino; I was up to 300mg a a day at one point. I lost close...

Would t-gel have the same effect or is the t-cream preferable b/c it isn't alcohol and therefore wouldn't burn/sting that sensitive area...

I really don't mind the acne as long as I'm feeling well, but I'll definitely look into the product you mention in the other thread. If I could have acne and feel good consistently, I'd be okay with that! Nelson, is there any way to maximize DHT while on TRT?
