Yeah, I ran out... no it's not a typo. My first testosterone test was well under the low end of normal so this wasn't a surprise. My doc does know I do Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), but based on reaction when I talked about AIs and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) (clearly has a...

Thanks everyone for the input! I just re-read my post, I must have been feeling saucy when I posted that...TMI. I was just in shock I guess about Chip just when I finally found someone who knew something about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). I'll look into IMT.

Recommendations on who I use for HRT now? So I had myself and father setup with Maximus. I won't use exact dollar amounts but cost wasn't an issue for me - in the thousands every few months since I did the full Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) protocol including HGH for both of us. And I liked...

Wow... What happened? I've been off the grid for a few months (just stupid busy with work/travel) and this? I sent Chip a note in April (maybe early April?) and he responded instantly - all was good... so I thought. I didn't know Chip personally but felt we grew as friends over the months... in...

Not sure how I ended on this forum instead of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), but while I'm here... excellent post. Sometimes I think ppl are overdoing it with AIs... too much of a good thing doesn't make it a better thing. So, I don't recall exact study or when it was done, but results...

Aromasin never crashed my e2, adex has. Yes, I fully stopped adex for 2-3 weeks until I got back to normal. It can take a while depending on a number of factors - for me I just don't convert much to e2 for some reason. I'd also bump my Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) up to speed things along...

that's how I roll :roll: Since I don't seem to convert as much to estrogen as most people, I just had a helluva time getting things dialed in so a lot of work and research in this area. I drop my e2 too easily so caution on the high side because i hate crashed e2 far worse than high.

I should add that if you're really high, dropping Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) + moving aromasin up simultaneously will get you back into range much more quickly than just dropping Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) dose. W/out numbers it's a harder call to make.

A long reply to set some context for my reasoning. I'll preface this with stating the obvious: always best to get your blood tests and know exactly where you stand then tune accordingly, but here is my opinion. The "soooo tired" symptom you mention can be either too high or too low E2, but...

Are you feeling foggy headed too? Meaning, you aren't as clear as you should be and feeling like you are in your morning fog all day? Or, is being extremely tired, you only want to sleep the only symptom?

So, once again people "stating" a dosage is too high -- not suggesting or knowing the full story. Flippin drives me nuts - this is part of the problem with doctors we are battling and why 99% of us are here -- why the f do we perpetuate uneducated, unknowing opinions as facts? 100mg t cyp e5d...

Nice. Sticking with Chip's protocol got you dialed in nicely almost spot on! Great numbers for just starting. Biggest question is how do you feel? Anything you wish you could dial a little better? I think where you are now is just about small tweaks. IMO not going overboard with the adex and...

No. Maximus specializes in men - plenty of places handle women. She uses a doc that only deals with hormones. Bioidentical. Pre-Menopause issues...

I had the same experience with androgel. Good luck with getting insurance to pay. I was covered by 3 diff insurance companies and none would pay. My doctor spent nearly 2 months going back and forth making a case only to be declined. Wife on her Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) - the same. If...

Well, personally, I wouldn't look to standardize both to the same size - t prop is oil-based and HCG is water-based meaning you can use two very different sizes... BUT, if you are very lean and not too worried about deep IM, some on this forum have been using insulin syringes to inject cyp/prop...
