Hello, since starting trt my prolactin has risen to 20 pg/ml. It is causing ED/low sex drive and some nipple sensitivity. I was given cabergoline to help, however I'm not sure on the starting dose at moderately high level. I see most people start at .25mg twice a week, but their numbers are 3 or...

Hello, guys. Quick question. How long does HCG boost testosterone before levels return to base line? I.E. If I inject 200mg of test on Monday with 500ui of hcg, when will the boost of test I see on a blood test just be from the testosterone its self, and not hcg? I've read a study on rats that...

Yes, I refrained from sex and all. Not sure about previous prolactin levels. This is a new trt doc for me. The previous ones didn't ever pull labs for prolactin.

Hello, ya'll. My recent blood test showed a prolactin level of 21.3. My TRT doctor wants to keep an eye on it and recheck in a couple of weeks, and if still elevated send me for an MRI to check for a tumor (great!). What should I do at this point? Wait? Take a supplement like vitex? Or go get an...

Ah, I see. Makes sense. Well hopefully they are willing to do 2 shots. If not, I guess I'll have to move clinics again. Thanks again for all the help guys

Okay, I'll have to sit down this next go around with the doctor and see what we can do about moving to 2 shots. Is it normal for midrange shbg guys such as myself to have problems with obtaining proper T levels with large dosages? Or does my body maybe metabolize it faster? Thanks

Finally got SHBG, guys. Shows at 31.4. What do y'all think? Thanks

Yeah, fifty, I do feel like that is the case sometimes. It's why I left the first place. What's telemed? Do they take insurance? I've tried defy or primebody, they dont take insurance. It's just hard to beat that 25 dollar co-pay.

Yeah, the doctor did said I could do twice weekly injections and pay the same co-pay. I also am going to pick up the blood test results tomorrow. They cant email them for some reason. And thanks again for the help guys.

Would it be beneficial to start taking boron? Or if I'm low and not high could that cause more problems than it's worth.

Yes, I inject every Wednesday morning at a local low t center near me. I'm going to call and ask if I can get a copy of my labs. They just told me the numbers, I didn't see anything. This is my second clinic I've been to. I'm getting tired of this incompetence.

They didn't give me those #'s. I would imagine if there was a problem there they would have said something, but ya never know. If they are the problem, what could I do to help fix it?

Hello, y'all. I got my test results back today from 6 weeks on 210 mg a week, and they were low at 538 total and 11 free E was 36. Before on 140mg a week as I was 411. My doctor jumped to 250mg, but I feel even that isn't enough. What could be going on here? What should I do? Is there anything I...

Hey y'all, to those on a therapeutic dose of 140mg, what is your average peak and trough levels? I just started doing weekly shots of 140mg and was wondering what my levels might be roughly. I know getting a blood test would answer my question, but I have to wait another month before they'll...

Hello, Dr Rand First, thanks for taking time to answer our questions. I have low t (260ish range) and am a 29 year old male. I just started taking 140mg test weekly. I have a condition called sphincter of oddi that I'm hoping to cure with trt. It's a female dominate diesase that seems to be...
