Hello, As the title says. Anyone on trt and had a prostate procedure? I’m 51, been on trt for almost 5yrs. Use tamsulosin(flomax) daily, .5cc of testosterone cypionate divided into 2 doses weekly. My doc told me that I’m a good candidate for the Urolift procedure and that about 80% of men are...

Hello all, I am curious if anyone has had the Urolift procedure? What your recovery was like? How bad your BPH got before you decided a procedure was needed? I’m 51. I go to the bathroom around 6-8 times in an 8hr shift. Wake at least 2-3 times on average. I typically just sit down now seems...

Hello All, I am currently injecting .5cc weekly. I use easy touch 27g 1cc 1/2” syringes. I get a 10ml vial Perrigo brand. This vial should 6 months? Correct? I have maybe 1 dose left with 3 needed til next appt. I ran into this with my last vial so for my current one I kept my dose at .4-.45...

Just wanted to say thanx for the responses. Moment of panic on my part for sure. Doctor said what you said Vince about varying values and as long as the numbers look good and I’m feeling well it’s good.

I sure hope so Vince.

I inject every Friday at or around 3pm. Blood was drawn at 4pm on Friday. Last bloods I was on a schedule with Friday off. Been back on a 5 day schedule for past 5 months.

They were on sale I believe? I ordered them before I was out of the .5cc. Didn’t think it would make a difference instead of filling the syringe up I just fill to the 50.

Hello All, I inject .5cc weekly. Changed from an easy touch .5cc 27g 1/2 to a 1cc 27g 1/2. My bloodwork from 6mos ago has me at 520 trough. 6 months later my trough is at 750. Only other thing that’s changed is I start work an hour later. The draw was done around 4pm not fasting. All other...

Hello all, Ive been on trt since late 2016, testosterone 1/2 cc once a week no hcg. Been noticing my testicles getting smaller and smaller. My doctor knows about hcg but wont prescribe it. I feel great, libido,energy,sleep have all been great since starting trt. Im just missing my...

I'm convinced that my vasectomy was a major player in my low T. I also tell every guy I hear talk about getting one my experience. Took about 2 months to not feel like I took a shot to the groin. I don't know what my levels were prior but not long after my levels were hovering around 220.

I switched to subq with a 27g 1/2" from 25g 1" when I noticed the amount of T left in the dead space. Felt better on IM,more energy,better libido. I like the thinner needle but would like a longer needle. Cant find a low dead space 25g or a 1" insulin though.

Hello all! I've been on trt through my urologist for about a year. I'm thinking of going to 2 a week injections and trying the 27g syringe. Currently using pharmacy provided 25g 1" for inject and 21g to draw,today I noticed the amount left in the syringe after injection(looked like a gallon of...

I used the patch for awhile til it burned my skin,felt good with them. Then switched to gel and my levels plummeted. Ive been coasting along natural for a few years now. My urologist set me up to inject will allow me to do them myself (only wants me to do the every 2 week route) havent brought...

my total t is 297(175-781) and my shbg is 52.6(13.3-89.5) I was wondering the same about my numbers,

I know that prostate cancer exempts you from trt,but what about BPH? I'm 45 just started having bph symptoms and am currently on Flomax. My testosterone has been hovering in the high 200's to the mid 3's couple of years. I was on the patch and gel a couple years ago but went off due to lack of...
