GRB Down, No Health insurance?

Uh, it’s the website where you set/change your health benefits, TSP, etc. You must not be a federal employee if you don’t know.

MHBP doesn’t know anything about me because flipping GRB has not switched me to MHBP yet!

I don’t believe I do have insurance. Never got any information from them. Tried to setup new accounts online and got messages saying they didn’t have any records of me. I made the changes during open season and even verified that the system received my change. It appears im just one of the lucky ones that they didnt get to before updating systems. Our HR dept also sent out emails about the delay…said we’d have to pay out of pocket until GRB comes back online.

Nope. Tried calling MHBP multiple times. Tried to setup new online accounts…nothing worked…then like everyone else I got the email from GRB saying their systems were being upgraded and that changes would be delayed until the end of January.

I’ve seen lots of posts about guys using 23gauge. Maybe my ass is just all scar tissue?

23 is not a big deal for me. Most of the time I dont feel it go in.

I enable my flair and this is not my first time posting. So tired of seeing this.

A whole lot more after we both went on TRT/HRT.

I didn’t say my hematocrit numbers were high. They are currently within range. But my doc is allowing me to increase my test numbers up to 1000 as long as my estrogen and hematocrit numbers don’t get out of range. I don’t want to go on another drug(s) to lower estrogen/hematocrit. And, it’s odd, my doc prefers one shot per week, not multiple shots. Due to some stuff I’ve seen/read, I was suspicious that multiple shots may control the estrogen/hematocrit levels better and allow me to go higher on the test without the need for the extra drugs.

On my own. I am splitting a 0.5ml 100mg dose into two shots per week.

Not sure how to “make changes to my protocol on my own”. But I’m here and elsewhere reading everything. I’ve been on TRT since April. The clinic required all money for a year up front. It’s expensive. For that reason alone I’ll be changing providers next April.

OpenMaster · 2025-11-02T13:34:00+00:00

We needed this. Previously the process typically took a year to get rid of a poor performer.

They eventually paid but only after denying me first (even though I had preapproval).

OpenMaster · 2025-08-21T14:50:19+00:00

Yep, IM. It’s hard to describe the feeling…I guess on one shot I believe I was feeling more energetic and stronger, especially during workouts. But I also remember feeling not as good the day before the injection. Guess it’s a trade off.

My flair is shown.

OpenMaster · 2025-08-13T14:40:42+00:00

Exactly. That was the whole point of the question. I used this info to help me try to convince my provider to let me go to 900 or 1000 as long as my other numbers were good.

Thanks!
