That low dosage kept my total T in the 750-900 range while maintaining fertility. I wanted to take as little as necessary due to the unknown long-term potential side effects it may have in men. That is all I took, I never tried HCG. I also "thought" that it was alleviating some of my low T...

My endocrinologist had me on Clomid monotherapy for several years to maintain fertility. I think my dosage was maybe 25mg or 50mg weekly. Kept my levels in the middle of the normal range but I didn't experience any symptom relief. After having two healthy sons, my wife and I decided we did not...

Thank you - I will order some 27 g syringes. I wasn't sure if a needle that small, or even smaller at 29 g, would result in difficulty pushing the oil out. Do you draw the oil with a separate, larger needle? I've been using an 18 g to draw, as I've read several people on here say that it takes...

Quick backstory. 33yo, 5'11" 180lbs. First experienced low T symptoms at age 27, confirmed by labs (one lab reading was as low as 196 total T with normal range 264-916 and free T of 3.9 with normal range of 8.3-30.1). Endocrinologist initially thought it was stress-induced/adrenal fatigue as I...

I just recently started "true" TRT (had been on very low-dose Clomid prescribed by my Endocrinologist for a few years to maintain fertility, but began Test Cyp. injections just last month since my wife and I are done having kids). I've always been able to maintain a fairly lean, muscular...

Began TRT in August 2021. Endo started me on gel packets due to better overall level stabilization (and probably a $ kickback from their rep). These were messy, especially with young kids, so I switched to injections in December. Prescription was for 50mg, one injection weekly. After seeing my...

My endocrinologist prescribed clomiphene citrate to me roughly 5 years ago (I was 28yo at the time). Had low T symptoms, labs confirmed. Endo first did the "Clomid test" in which I took, I believe, 100mg daily for 10 days and then had labs done. Labs confirmed that I had secondary hypogonadism...

Just an update, I found needles/syringes online so will be stocked up soon. Thanks again for your help there. I injected myself this past Friday for the first time with no pain other than a little soreness the following day. The most difficult for me was drawing the correct amount (.25mL is not...

Thanks for the syringe recommendation, I'll check it out! I thought 4-6 weeks sounded reasonable, but if you look back up at my previous posts, the nurse had mentioned 4-6 MONTHS to me over the phone. I'm hoping that was a mistake and will strongly urge them to be done sooner if it wasn't. If...

You had mentioned steady state may take 4-6 weeks, correct? Would that typically be an ideal time to first measure blood levels? My doctor mentioned following my endo's dosage recommendations at first, so the primary reasoning for doing 50mg weekly injections was because the endo had me doing...

@Cataceous Thank you for the response. I'm aware from my research, while minimal, that many sites will have various members saying things that are contradictory. That leads me to typically not be as assertive with my doctor/s as most might be, because I view them as the professionals and more...

Hello everyone, New member here and I'll make my "journey" as to how I ended up here as short as possible. Currently 5'11" 180lbs, 33yo. I was very athletic in high school & college, playing basketball, football & boxing. Began feeling symptoms at around 27yo and saw endocrinologist. T was low...
