Hello, I am stopping TRT because we would like to have another child. I have been on T cyp and HCG for almost 2 years. My DR said to just stop both cold turkey and start Clomid 12.5mg every other day. I was on 500iu 3X per week of HCG. Does this protocol seem legit? I have some HCG left over. I...

Been on TRT for 7 months. I feel like when I take a shower I definitely am losing / shedding hair. I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY HAIR. I have a nice full head. My Dihydrotestosterone DHT has been 68 in April and it was 99 in June. Does DHT directly effect hair loss? seems to be mixed opinions... If...

Does anyone have any thoughts on working out with a cold. In my younger days coaches would say to sweat it out. I read it can be better to rest. I've been tired and have had to force myself to get in the gym. I sure as hell don't want to prolong this cold.

Im new to TRT, I've had strep throat, then I got a flu virus and now am getting a sore throat again. I am going on about a month and a half of being sick. Does TRT have anything do do with your body being able to defend sickness? I thought I read somewhere extra testosterone makes it harder to...

Oh, good to know I have only done the lower dose one time so maybe its in my head

I have been using Intra Mus injection in the hip. Decided to try sub cu in the shoulder thinking it was less invasive. Now my shoulder is extremely sore on day 2 of this wondering what went wrong? I don't think there was any air... maybe a very small bubble... I did notice the Test Cyp was very...

I am having a terrible time drawing the test into the syringe. I push the desired amount of air in, tip upside down, make sure the needle is submerged and draw slowly only to get air. It takes me 15 min to get the desired amount, having to draw, constantly pushing air back into vile then drawing...

I started TRT 1.5 months ago. I have been feeling a lot better, before starting my total T was 100 Free 9. I was on 140 mg Test Cyp and 800 IU's HCG a week split into 2 doses every 3.5 days. My Dr is concerned my Total T is to high along with E2 was at 88. started taking .25 AI 2X per week...

I have good insurance. They cover all the tests Defy wants you to get, even the extra tests that aren't mandatory. I am pretty sure LabCorp is who would run the tests, if I have Defy send me the script and get them done on my own. Does Defy use a Lab that is better? Does anyone know what the...

From what I have read, it is possible to keep your hair. That as long as your not predisposed to hair loss, then you won't lose it. How true is this? I look weird with a shaved head , where a lot of yall can pull it off. So I am a little worried. I ordered red light therapy light for at home...

New to TRT, I have been searching this site for ideal or target levels of T free, total along with E2 and others. I haven't been able to find much... I realize each person is different but is there a general range that most try to shoot for? From what I understand a lot is based on how you...

Is it ok to pre load the needle of Testosterone Cyp and leave for a day or two? Same with HCG if I preload a needle and leave it in the fringe so it's ready to go. Anything wrong with this?

I have searched, and cant seem to find an answer. I inject 70 mg Testosterone cypionate twice a week, every 3.5 days. At the same time I inject 400 IU's of HCG. Would the best time to get a blood test be 1.75 days after injection or does it really matter since I inject every 3.5 days?

So by supplement with alcohol do you mean that you get benefits out of having a little bit, like you do? I will have to research the reason you would want higher HDL? I do tend to feel a little better the next day if I have a glass of red wine the night before. Thanks for your reply! It was helpful

I can't seem to find any good calculators or conversion tables online. I think part of it is I don't know what I am doing, and the other part is I afraid of screwing up. I inject 140mg of T cyp a week divided into two doses. So what is 70 MG in ML? 400 ui's of HCG is how many ML?

I use to drink a lot, and it was due to anxiety and generally feeling terrible. I knocked all that off a bout a year ago, and now on TRT (only a week and a half in) I am feeling better which makes me not want to drink even more. I hope the positive benefits of TRT continue to get better for me...

I generally try not to drink that much. A few glasses of wine or beer per week and then once a week or so I enjoy having 6-10 drinks with the boys if we are out having a good time. Is this ok to do on TRT? I have read a lot about how is ups your E2.

No I meant 140 mg a week, sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the link, that was a good read.

My Dr ordered just a regular estradiol test. I asked him if he could do a sensitive estradiol instead... I assume it is the same only more sensitive... Is that correct? I am looking at switching over to Defy. As this guy seems slightly incompetent comparatively Thanks, Luke

My current Dr has me Intramuscular injecting Test Cyp 140 mg 2X per week and 500 IU's HCG twice a week. I just started TRT so I am new and am quickly realizing I need to find a different Dr. But is this ok to do for a while until I get a new Dr? I've researched that all of this can be done...

I am not fa I have a nurse practitioner that provides the script, and then I also saw a restore health doc that specializes in skin care and HRT. Would you recommend a urologist, endocrine doc or anything else?

Yes I am overweight but not terribly. 36 yrs old and probably 20-30 lbs over. If I lost 20-30 I would be looking very fit. Thanks for giving me an idea of your protocol starting out, that's what I was looking for. My Drs, (i've seen 2) seem to let me dictate protocol. Not sure if thats good...

What does that mean for me and my question? I find myself re-reading your and @Vince Carter reply. And I can't seem to make since out of it. I am starting to get frustrated that Drs dont know what they are doing and some on this site want to bash and then offer no real advice. Maybe I am the...

Thanks for that, I agree. I would have started myself on only testosterone to begin with if I was the Dr.

Thanks for the reply Nelson, I felt great the day after the first 100 mg Test injection. the last two days have not been as great. Maybe placebo effect... I doubt it because I was barely sore after a intense workout... I have my next injection tomorrow. What are your thoughts on 200 mg of Test...

500 iu HCG

My T levels in my last test were Total T: 116 Free T: 21 E2: 32 My Dr prescribed: 200mg T cypionate a week, 500 iu's Hcg a week. He also told me to take .5 arimidex a week as I am moderately overweight and he is worried about E2 spiking He said to do the entire 200 in one shot, I decided to...

I have exemestane, I talked her into giving me that while on clomid. Is that ok or should I ask about something else

By AI you mean a aromatase inhibitor? My dr has mentioned HCG and TRT but hasn't said anything about AI. Is this something I should bring up as well?

I just had prolactin checked and its slightly high: My value Standard range Prolactin 22.1 ng/mL 3.0 - 17.9 ng/mL Should I be concerned with this? All the other tests came back good BTW
