It has been a while since posting. I am currently on hrt for the past 2 years. We have recently switched insurance to BC/BS and it seems that they will not cover my hcg because they classify it as a fertility drug. My physician tried to preauthorize this under the classification of hypogonadism...

I am on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and my labwork came back with my hgb at 18.3 and my hct at 53.4. I'm sure I'll have to donate some blood to lower those levels. I'm wondering if being on testosterone cypionate and arimidex will disqualify me from donating blood? Any input? Thanks...

I am on hrt and I was wondering if a 22 guage needle will give you built up scar tissue over time? I inject glutes only once a week and I alternate sides. Michael,

45lbs wow. That is great! 45lbs I'm almost up to 80lbs. Thanks. Michael T, :)

Weight of olympic bar? I used an olympic bar with 2 11lb weights and 2 5.5 lb weights. which is 33lbs and I don't know how much an olympic bar weighs, I guess around 30 or so lbs? Michael T, :)

T levels low because.. My low t levels were from 2 double hernia surgeries that I had done over the past 10 years. My testicles then started producing less and less testosterone. First operation was in 1994 and the second was in 2000. Not to mention that in 1982 I was hospitalized for...

Why doing hrt I am doing hrt because my T output was low, 363 due to underproduction. My sex drive was about completely dead. Also no sensations and no erections. I did the gels for 5 months with little improvement. On the shots I have noticed that my blood pressure and pulse rate have...

I am on hrt using testosterone cypionate with my third injection at 100mgs week. I think I am noticing a little increase in my strength. With little improvement in fatigue, libido is still very bad. I notice that I only feel good on the 3rd 4th and 5th day after my injection. All other days I...

I just switched over from the gels to cypionate for hrt and I was wondering how long before you could notice any improvements? I front loaded 200mg then will follow with 100mg each week until next labs. I took my first shot on Tuesday and today I did notice some morning wood. and a little...

Levels Hey thunderdman, My first shot was 200mg and the next one will be 100mg. After 5 weeks I'll have my labs run to see about dosage changes if any. My levels were 363 before starting Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). First I was on androgel 10 g for 2 months with ending T levels...

You guys were right ! Yesterday I got my first shot of Testosterone cyp for hormone replacement therapy. I barely felt the syringe go in and when it was all done I could not believe it. I got all nervous for nothing. I hope I get to feeling better from this therapy. Thanks for all your advice...

Hey all you experienced people I just started with Testosterone Cyp for Hormone replacement. The doc suggested using a 22 guage 1 inch syring. Is the 22 guage more painfull to use than a 23 guage? Or could I use a 25 guage? I'm getting gluteal shots. Thanks, Michael T...

Live in indiana I live in the great state of Indiana , Hoosier country! Michael T, :)

It looks as if I may possibly be put on injections for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). I am not that nervous about it from reading all of your posts about it. My question is does Testosterone Cyp need to be refrigerated? And do we need a prescription for the syringes and needles? I've visited...

Thanks Guys I want to say thanks guys! All of your info is great! And yes I have already tried androgel. It dried my skin out very bad. I guess I will give the shots a go. One of the problems with the gel is it just wouldn't get my levels high enough. My free T has always been below low 10.7...
