[QUOTE="MR. evil, post: 24780, member: 12169"] I had blood work done last week and saw my endo yesterday afternoon. When I first started seeing him for fertility issues several years ago my initial T level was 220 and he started me on a course of 25mg Cloimid Daily. After several months on the Clomid I was retested and my t level was 515. I remained on the Clomid for about 2 years but stopped after my wife and I conceived. Now it has been about 8 months since being off the Clomid and my current T level is 186. Below are all the test number he felt were relevant and shared with me: T Level - 186 FSH - 3.3 PSA - 1.6 TSH - 1.8 We discussed treatment options and he didn’t even put Clomid on the table as that is a treatment he will only use for men trying to conceive. He also told me that in his opinion pills, gels & patches just don’t work and his preference for his patients is injections. He recommend either HCG injections 2 to 3 times per week, or a bi-weekly testosterone injection. Either of which I will be able to do myself at home. After some discussion I opted to go with the T injection and was given a Rx for Depo-Testosterone, 100mg every other week to start. After my 2nd injection he wants me to get blood labs done the following day and then see him later that week to review my numbers and make any adjustments needed. Even if the 100mg dosage is enough I may ask to take 50mg weekly instead of 100mg bi-weekly. I am also going to see how he feels about putting me on a slightly higher dosage cycle to help jump start some weight loss and then taper down to a lower maintenance dosage. [/QUOTE]
