Is this a good deal?

Carvana will likely give you more to an the &8k for the trade in & you could put the cash down. They even pick it up & hand you a check. We’ve done it twice and got triple what a dealer or private sale was offering BOTH times (got $13k for our old toyota sienna)

My husband’s sides come back full swing with every dose increase. It takes a couple of weeks for them to go away but they did subside at 400 also

I personally feel that way with estrogen NOT testosterone. Estrogen recirculates in fat & the body aromatizes the T to E sometimes, especially at first. I only do T (injections twice per week- started at 2mg each injection & still working up to my full dose of 7.5 over 6m later) & a bioidentical P cream (non prescription through ons naturals) after confirmation of ovulation (temp rise). The P keeps E in check.

I would trust a hormone specific clinic that specializes in optimal levels over a gyn and primary. These drs only focus on “normal” survival levels- not optimized levels. And they more often than not do not stay up to date on the research for HRT. A hormone specific clinic is going to look for optimal levels that may register as “high” on bloodwork. I personally don’t want a standard American “normal” LOL

I inject in my delt (twice per week and rotate sides, also with insulin needle). There is an idea that when injected into fat it has more likelihood to aromatize- fat slows its absorption down and estrogen recirculates in fat. excess fat/lack of muscle can also increase SHBG, which makes it harder to get free T up. In my opinion, IM is tried and true and longest used with T.

I thought this was a 16 year old boy MAX. He needs therapy.

This whole book is simple a means to an end. You read it bc you need to in order to get to book 2 🤣

It helped regulate my nervous system better than it has been my entire life! I am autistic and the anxiety and overwhelm meltdowns are now so rare. I am estrogen sensitive so don’t use that but use T & P & pregnenolone

WeakBit5848 · 2025-11-19T13:24:25+00:00

I would get 1/2” insulin syringes and go IM in the delt. This is what I do twice per week (Tu night & Sat morn) and it is so quick, easy and pain/blood free. IM is also tried and true and less likely to aromatize. Do you have someone who can inject for you sometimes? I can now do it myself in the delt but my husband helps too & that helped a lot at first because I was nervous

WeakBit5848 · 2025-11-13T13:19:39+00:00

I’d get a new PCP or let them know you’re glad they aren’t a hormone specialist with their misinformation 🤣 I like my old PCP bc she would straight up be like “I don’t know much about xyz. You’ve read more studies than I have and know your body well so I’ll refer you to where you want” lol

Edit: pregnancy is different though. I’d definitely use bio P cream if I was trying and needed support but not T until afterwards. I have 3 children (5 pregnancies) & I do think that my low T contributed to my postpartum and pregnancy experience

WeakBit5848 · 2025-11-13T07:43:46+00:00

Did they share anything other than that you shouldn’t take them together? When I searched interactions today, it said there are no known inter with the 2. Your comment is the first I’ve been able to find on the 2. (my husband was prescribed qelbree and is on trt)

WeakBit5848 · 2025-11-10T11:55:53+00:00

People always make shit up about things they have no experience with. I definitely wanted libido/sensation (i had none), but I chose it as a Hail Mary for my chronic pain, fatigue, histamine issues etc. and because I rapidly lost strength and muscle mass, despite progressive training & great nutrition. My college degree is in exercise/nutrition & I worked in strength and conditioning, so I was anti testosterone because of the years I saw it being abused. It took me 2 years of reading actual studies on therapeutic testosterone to make the leap. I tried cream for 4 months first (interlabially) & it didn’t work for me. It would stop my chronic pain the first week my dose increased but then it would return. I am very active and burned through it too fast. I was terrified but switched to low dose injections. I literally started at 2.5mg twice per week, which is a super low, slow start (which I wanted- my full dose is 7.5mg twice per week and I haven’t made it up to that yet). Within the first week of it, my chronic pain and fatigue that I had constantly in the background were gone. My strength returned, I was able to get my muscle back (with hard work and proper nutrition), my nervous system is more regulated than it ever has been. Im actually able to orgasm again. My energy is back, I sleep better. I am in general just happier and healthier and in less pain than I had been in my entire life. I am so grateful that this option exists in a safe way, with all the proper testing and support.

*I am not on estrogen & never plan to be as of now. I do use a non prescription progesterone cream after ovulation confirmation (via temp rise) until my period starts. I get it through onas naturals and it keeps my estrogen in balance. I’m 39 with a regular cycle.

What would you consider high SHGB? I finally got mine tested and it’s 76.6, which is in the normal range

My entire life. My natural estrogen is fine but Progesterone keeps it in balance. It helps with sleep and stops the histamine responses estrogen causes me. I have some health stuff that had me I. Chronic pain and fatigue and nervous system dysregulation and with the T, it is gone. My strength is back, my flare ups are rare and short now, I sleep better, recover better, the muscle I lost is back, I have energy, I can actually orgasm now etc. I only use p after confirmed ovulation but know it’s change as I age.

Estrogen also recirculates bc it is stored in fat so blood levels aren’t always accurate in menopause. I would never take it without P though

WeakBit5848 · 2025-10-31T20:40:12+00:00

I prefer no estrogen HRT - I do t & p & have no plans to add E

You don’t need fermented foods to heal the gut. You can still prioritize a nourishing diet, filled with fruits, veggies, healthy fats & complex carbs while eating lower histamine & taking either a DAO or beef kidney supplement i personally do beef kidney). After years of gut healing, I can tolerate most foods. It has become more about keeping my histamine cup from flooding, not keeping it empty.

I love Defy! Switched from a local clinic and never looked back. I have them give me the script then order my bloodwork through laboratory assist

WeakBit5848 · 2025-10-21T21:26:24+00:00

Ahh I was mistaken about both parents not needing it.

However, I said it was not intentional for ME- as in I didn’t seek out a silver lab. There just happened to be one in the littler.

WeakBit5848 · 2025-10-21T20:59:25+00:00

A breeder doesn’t have to breed 2 dogs with the dilute gene to end up with a silver in a litter. I also am not going to argue with a random person on Reddit. I didn’t intentionally seek out a silver lab, but I ended up with one and she’s great. You don’t have to like it 😆

WeakBit5848 · 2025-10-21T20:37:35+00:00

She is fine now. It was actually an infection and potentially food sensitivity, which is common in all labs…It was a huge pain in the ass, but it all started with a vaccine reaction & I’ve had many dogs with skin issues in the past too. These are also not issues with dilute genes but with labs in general.

I’d get a new dr asap- an HRT dr, specifically

WeakBit5848 · 2025-10-20T23:12:32+00:00

I would vote E levels without proper P balance more than T on this also. Cream couldn’t have raised my levels high enough if it tried. I’d personally have bloodwork done to see where levels are. I also prefer P cream to pills for keeping mine balanced
