64yo male, 210 lbs, no ED issues. For about a year my PSA has been hovering around 4.22. Both my PCP and Defy will not continue to prescribe testosterone unless testing shows me clear of prostate cancer (PC). I was referred to a urologist and had my appointment today. The NP stated...

Hello! I’m a 37 y/o on TRT and also compete in bodybuilding. As such, and especially around contests, I do a bit more than just TRT including adding other compounds. Have always been very on top of bloodwork. I have been watching my PSA (I have an uncle and grandpa who had PCa) so I’ve...

I have been combing the forums regarding PSA test, TRT, biopsy, non-invasive diagnostics and related. I am 70yo, and take 40mg Test Cyp twice weekly. I have ben on TRT for almost 2 years. I do have ED issues but that predates TRT use by several years and was not the reason for starting TRT in...

Hey guys, I got some alarming labs back a few weeks ago and am trying to make the right adjustments to my dosing protocol. This is a long post, so I hope it doesn't get ignored. I would really appreciate some help and I'm trying to give you any info that you might need without forcing you to...

This data was first discussed here a year or so ago when it was released as a poster. It was now just published in a major urology journal. Bascially it suggested that 75 or 100mg of "Xyosted" (SubQ enanthate) each week leads to lower HCT/E2/PSA than does 100mg of IM cypionate. This is a poor...

In 6 months my total PSA went from 1.4 ng/dL to 10.6 ng/dL! This freaked me out like crazy, especially since my dad passed away two years ago from prostate cancer and that was literally the exact way he found out that he had prostate cancer. I am in my 30s. So a jump that high in just 6...

Hello all. 57 and have been on TRT for a couple years, 200mg divided up into 2 x/week. Just moved and started with the VA in Arizona. Got some labs and all looked good except for a PSA of 4.3. Has been creeping up for a few years and the VA is balking at writing a script for drug. Am now...

I have been on TRT since March of 2018. I will be 58 years old in September, in two more months. My PSA went to 2.0 a few weeks after starting TRT but fluctuated back down to 1.4 by November of 2018 and since then it has stayed between 1.4 and 2.18 between April 2018 and November 2019, going...

In the spring of 2020 after being on TRT for 5 years, I stopped suddenly last year when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer with 9 of 12 biopsy cores were cancerous and Gleason score of 6. There was no abnormality detected in rectal exams. My PSA had gradually increased to 11 over a period of...

So I got some Of my labs back and the basics are my T was 1477 Free T-47 SHGB was 30 Hemocrit was 51 Hemoglobin was 17 IGF-1 was 180 PSA-0.6 this was done 24 hours after my last injection. I do 25mg everyday. But my question is, my anxiety has been a little on the higher side lately. I know...

I have been following Nelson and Excelmale for many years and purchased his book about Testosterone a few years back. I really don't know who else to ask about this. I have been on test cyp 200mg/ml doing a once a week 1 ml deep thigh injection for about 8 years. I used to test out around 1100...

I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow so urgent replies requested! My PSA rose to just above the range and was at 2.6 (max was 2.5). My doctor wanted to take me off TRT and see how it would react. I came off TRT and now it is at 3.0 months later. I do feel discomfort and pressure in...

I often have a few surprises in my blood test results. Today's surprise was estradiol. I attached the last couple of blood test results, one from 1-7-2020 and one from 11/15/2019. Today, the surprise was pretty low E2 levels of 8.9 pg/mpwith a Total T of 650. (I tend to do blood test just...

Curious to see what everyone’s PSA levels are like on TRT. State your age, pre TRT psa and free % levels and what changes you saw in the first year. Any abnormal spikes? 43 - pre trt psa 0.93 - 3 months into trt 0.77, free 45% - 1 year into trt up to 1.8. Retest pending as this result freaked...

As noted in other posts, my PSA leaped dramatically in a little over a year, 1.00 to 2.99. Though still below the magic number of 4.00, the velocity puzzled me and alarmed my doctors. My urologist in Toronto was using words and phrases like “biopsy,” and “suspending your TRT protocol for a...

A “puzzling” velocity rise in my PSA over the last 15 months prompted my urologist to utter the word, “biopsy.” I responded, “SelectMDX,” the reasonably new, non-invasive urine test that tracks two bio-markers and can rule out prostrate cancer with an extremely high degree of certainty. We...

The prostate-specific antigen test is a blood test that measures levels of a protein the prostate gland produces. Men with prostate cancer usually have elevated levels of this protein, but heightened levels do not always mean cancer. Other health conditions may also cause prostate-specific...

I am concerned with my recent labs on my PSA... MY pre-TRT PSA level was .7, after 8 weeks on TRT my PSA level came back .9, then 8 more weeks later my PSA level came back as 1.0... and my recent labs showed "low" Free PSA... at (20) But the doctor told me that since my total PSA was within...

My recent experience with boron. I did blood tests on 1/5/2018, 2/20/2018 and 4/21/2018. The only thing I changed was taking the boron supplement late February. The first month I mixed up my own boron from 20 mule team borax, so I was probably taking 7-10 mg daily, since I would take a...

This month, on March 5th I began TRT via testosterone cypionate injections. On this day I was injected with 1cc containing 200mg of testosterone cypionate suspended in grape seed oil. The doctor gave me paperwork for a blood analysis and told me to have it done after waiting one full week from...

I have been on TRT for 8 weeks (100 mgs of testosterone a week) Very strange and concerning results... Total testosterone: 367 (less than when I started TRT???) Free testosterone: 66.8 pg/ml RANGE is 46 - 224 pg/mL (The same as pre TRT???) Bio-available testosterone: 144.5 ng/dl RANGE is...

There seems to be some conflict on the web with regards to L-Carnitine and PSA levels. Some websites to avoid Carntine and others do not. One of my sport supplements Alpha Jym has 1500mg Acetyl L-Carnitine. Anyone hear this correlation?

I'm a lowish SHBG guy (~19 ref range 19.3-76.4) - started on gels with an endo with limited success and switched to Defy in April. Dr Saya's protocol is subq 44 mg of TestC + 300 IU of HCG 3x/week. Before starting BP normal ~120/83 hematocrit 47.5 (37.5-51.0) Hemoglobin 16.0 (12.6-17.7) PSA...

Been on Test Cyp for 2 years and for the most part my dose has been consistently low. At a trough my T was 297. After complaining to my Uro that I was still fatigued and needing more sleep he bumped me to 180mg weekly from 150...every month i would be increased 10mg to gauge how I feel. Finally...

I've been on TRT for one year now. About 1cc a week of Test. Everything has been awesome. My blood work every few months has shown in healthy and getting healthier. My GP recently asked me to do start a yearly checkup with a urologist. So I went to the Uro thinking everything is great when he...

An influential federal task force has dropped its controversial opposition to routine screening for prostate cancer and now says that men between the ages of 55 and 69 should discuss the test’s potential benefits and harms with their doctors and make decisions based on their own “values and...
