[QUOTE="BigBamBoo, post: 278413, member: 18654"] Sounds like you prescribing doctor/clinic has no idea how to properly administer TRT. As mentioned, once a week is an antiquated protocol for the most part. And 100mg is a pretty low dose. For me, I want my symptoms to be treated, not numbers. And "good lab numbers" don't mean anything. In fact, due to the continuing decline in testosterone levels in males, the lab range keeps going down. You need to find a doctor/clinic that actually knows what they are doing. M9st GP or even you local endocrinologist probably are not up to speed on current treatment. Example...the local endocrinologist here treats low T with pellets only. Will not prescribe injections. A quick way to know if your doctor knows his stuff is by the labs their order. At a MINIMUM it should include: Total AND free T SHBG LH FSH Again...that would be the bare minimum. You will probably have to pay out of pocket to get the right treatment. TRT can be very frustrating if you ate not receiving the correct treatment. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
