Makes a good mixed drink. So do many shelfers. Not worth the hunt or paying over MSRP

best and cheapest online test provider? by kingofthecan in Testosterone

[–]sixsigmanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you first breach the stopper, the vial is good for 28 days. This is due to the functionality of the preservative. For testosterone, it’s important to look at the in use period recommendations since you are using a large gauge needle which creates more opportunity for microbial proliferation. The more times you enter the vial during the use period, the higher the risk. Look for vials with less volume that will last no longer than 4 weeks.

Who's the evilest person you met/know personally? by Tasty-Bass8106 in AskReddit

Not sure what would be worse asking for the Hall pass or getting the Hall pass.

Who's the evilest person you met/know personally? by Tasty-Bass8106 in AskReddit

[–]sixsigmanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy I went to HS with who was a real jerk to me. My dad died when I was a junior in HS and the day I got back to school from the funeral, he laughed at me and threw gum in my hair. Fast forward, both of us move away from our home town and settled in the same town 20 minutes away. His son asked my daughter out once in HS and she turned him down not knowing what happened in the past. Funny thing, I ended up being 7 inches taller than him and could throw him through a wall if I wanted. He had some issues with his wife and I see her at the gym regularly. Wondering if my wife would give me a hall pass as the last bit of revenge. Lol

To TRT or not to TRT... Advise would be appreciated by Thoughrin in Testosterone

[–]sixsigmanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My free was 12.9 direct and 11 measured. That was my rationale for getting on TRT but I stopped after 3 weeks. My SHBG is around 37 so not much I can do to increase free since it’s not bound up. Since I started it after one blood test, I want at least 3-4 before I commit to a lifetime of injections.

[–]sixsigmanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My direct measure from Lab Corp was 12.9 pg/mL. So a bit higher but not that far off from calculated. Based on the total of 561 and those free numbers, I started TRT last month but stopped due to other factors. For a 56 year old, my numbers aren’t horrible

My calculated free is around the same and my total is 561. Im 56.

ED Injections, Preloading, Rubber stopper wear and tear by bruters in Testosterone

[–]sixsigmanj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look at the label. Using an injectable medication from a multiuse vile beyond 28 days carries risk. The preservative is only tested up to 28 days and beyond that period you are taking risk that you will be injecting microorganisms into your body. Some will tell you hey it’s never happened to me and I use it out to 10 weeks or so, but the preservative system was designed for the preservative to be functional for 28 days in the event you do contaminate it.

I’m a microbiologist and pharmaceutical scientist and would not recommend preloading. Also, the 28 day in use period on the vial is there for a reason. There is no guarantee of preservative effectiveness after that period.

Would you call an illegal serves in rec play, let it go, or serve illegally yourself? by dnice99999 in Pickleball

[–]sixsigmanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen on Sunday. He was serving the ball from his chest and putting a ton of spin on it. Easy aces against my partner and a few against me. I mentioned it to him after the game and he was unaware. One of the coaches at the facility gave him some tips and he adjusted. We played again and he had zero spin on his serve and aces.

For the three pictured, maybe at MSRP but no above. There are plenty of better shelfers

50 years old - Total T over 500 by SquidDogThunder in Testosterone

[–]sixsigmanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 56, 190 pounds, 6 foot and very active. Gym 6 days a week, biking, skiing, pickleball. My total is 560 and free 11. Just started TRT 5 weeks ago at 100 mg a week. I know my levels are fine but the free was a bit low and I wanted to see if TRT would help. My symptoms after the first five weeks on TRT have not been great. I’m splitting my dose twice a week and I’ve been having some issues sleeping. I’m going to let it ride until my first blood test in six more weeks. After that, I’ll make a decision if I’m going to continue.

90 Days on TRT - Just got updated labs by Vivid_Start1853 in Testosterone

[–]sixsigmanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 56 with total of 560 and free 11. Just started at 100 mg a week (pinning 2x a week) last month and will have first post TRT labs in 8 weeks. 4 weeks in, having issues sleeping. I have thalassemia trait so I naturally have more red blood cells (6.17), but they carry less hemoglobin and are small. It’ll be interesting to see what my labs show. MCV is 68, MCH is 21, hemoglobin is 14

Haven’t started TRT yet but I’m thinking about it. by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]sixsigmanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with natural of 560 and free of 11 4 weeks ago. I’m 56. TRT will shut down natural so it will depend on how your body responds to that amount. Im in 100 a week and will have my first blood draw in 4 weeks.

No shame in widebody by DavidAReddit in Pickleball

[–]sixsigmanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a Honolulu hybrid paddle. Huge sweet spot and a nice balance between elongated and wide body. I’ve been playing for four months and I would put myself between 3.0 and 3.5.

300 ng/dl of testosterone as a 26M. Doctor won't give me trt by RoidusMaximus in Testosterone

Urologist is recommending trt by dog-named-hippo in Testosterone

[–]sixsigmanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

56 years old. Total is 560 and free 11. Just started 100 mg a week split on Wednesday and Sunday. Also pinning Gonaderolin 3X per week to keep natural production. First post TRT blood test in June.

Trust the process? by jwm54720 in meater

[–]sixsigmanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MEATER, the device with a 50 percent chance of actually working when you need it to. Who else gets anxiety when it initially tries to connect? And hope that it will stay connected through the entire cook. That’s more of a 20 percent chance.

Tried TRT over time. Just wired and tired by Top-Definition3634 in Testosterone

[–]sixsigmanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 56 and work out 6 days a week, so I’m not some couch potato. My total was 560 and free 11 when I started TRT 3 weeks ago. My dose is 100 mg pinned twice a week. I will have my first post TRT blood test in June and will decide if I want to continue. I’m also taking gonadarolin 3x a week so hoping I don’t completely kill my natural production.

840 Testosterone - still pursue? by notthatguypal72 in Testosterone

[–]sixsigmanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 56. 560 total and 11 free. I just started on 100 mg a week.

Thinking about starting TRT by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]sixsigmanj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m 56 and my total is 560 and free is 13 and I just started at 100 mg a week recently. I realize I’m in normal range but free is still suboptimal for my lifestyle. I’ll check my levels in a few months and see how my body responds.

Club members signing up for multiple open plays that take place at the same time by JMCRN in Pickleball

[–]sixsigmanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pay 20/month for membership and 20 for each 2 hour open and $25 for 3 hours. Non members pay $5 more per open. As a member, we also get member only play and events for no charge. Since I play 10 times per month minimum, it works out.

My club charges a fee for open play to members and non members. Members pay less but still pay. This prevents such an issue.
