Unfortunately if you have hypogonadism, anxiety will your friend for life. 90% of your treatment will revolve around controlling T dosaging so you avoid/address issues of anxiety, depression, fatigue, etc. I've been dealing with this for a very long time and I don't remember a time when I don't...

@madman Thank you thank you thank you so much for posting. In your own words, how would you interpret this in laymen's terms? If someone is obese and has hypogonadism, it's good to be on an Ozempic type of product? what's your take on it?

Do you have normal testicular function? I have hypogonadotropic hypogonadism so I never produced Testosterone. That may explain the numbers. Not aware of sticky pad or no swimming, etc. Usually if they come out it's in the early stages when the incision is healing. Extrusion usually stems from...

Hi sorry for the late response. I am the Testopel expert I guess, I've been getting it at least 8 years. I get the procedure done once every 3 months. I get about 10 pellets. Since it's a minor medical procedure there is pain during the injection of anesthesia, not so much you insertion of...

Hi Nelson I thought Aveed and Nebido are the same drug, with the exception that dosing for aveed is less than Nebido? My concern is exactly what you described. Many doctors don't understand the "Crash" that comes last few weeks and how disruptive it is not being able to maintain a steady state...

I am stopping pellets and going to Aveed for the first time in about a week. If you guys like, I can provide an account of what it's like to go from pellets to Aveed, if it will be helpful to those considering getting off pellets and trying Aveed. My biggest fear with Aveed is I tend to...

I have the opposite problem. I actually have to donate blood because my Iron is too high. The problem is so is my blood pressure. So I am in a catch 22. On 2 occasions American Red Cross turned me away because my BP.

First, thank you!! You have have done God's work: you took the time to put this all together and I appreciate your help and camaraderie very much. Very appreciated. I actually copied and pasted your post to my notepad for future reference. Second, it's a shame that the medical community is so...

Thanks guys but honestly I am more confused than ever: Shots 2 times a week, shots once a day, shot Subq in abdomen, shot on thighs. Gauge 27, 32, 30mg of Test, 40 mg of Test. Oooh boy. I even tried that once a week XYLOL product and it didn't do a damn thing for me. Despite all the pain...

Sorry but why not just draw and inject with 27 ga, wouldn't that be easier???

Thank you. I just have to educate myself on the drawing the right amount and getting script from DR. I appreciate your help, very much so!!

Thank you: Lastly, what type of needles do you use and what type of Testosterone form do you inject? Hope I am not being a pest.

Thank you I am seriously considering what you are saying. I don't have fond memories of injection in the thigh every 2 weeks with those horse needles :) but 2x a week subq maybe the right combo of convenience. Which day of the weeks do you give yourself a shot and when? Thank you

Wait, how is cortisol related to fatigue. I am on Testopel and I feel tired all the time.

Hello folks! I hope this will help some of you who may be considering Testopel. I've been on it over 5 years by now, here are the Pros and Cons Pros: 1. Do it once every 3 months. Maintains high levels of T. 2. Easy relatively painless procedure 3. Insurance covers it (after making the Dr...

Any recommendations in New Jersey. ?

What is the new protocol for subq injections of T? Is it daily, small shots vs once a week. What is the most prevelant? In the past I did 2 week shots which were horrible with mood swings and problems.

And I think this is the issue. A lot of mistrust out there. If it's so great, why are you the only one?

Thank you but some of this is a bit above my head: From a layman's perspective, are you saying Jatenzo is a better T-Therapy mechanism because it maintains more consistent T-levels or is it because it supresses other things like LSH far less? What was the reason you chose this therapy over...

Sorry I would never ever ever ever ever do oral T - that thing is brand new, and no history of how it works long term. I'll go back to needles first.

Thank you Nelson, you are a beacon of light and wealth of information!!! Historically I don't do well with skin absorption and needles mess me up. But that's because I was on the old regimen of 2 week shots with those giant needles. It seems as though the newer regimen is T shots more every 1...

I get about 7-10 every 3 months of testopel. I have not been prescribed Androgel but I am thinking I would get better way of stabilizing T leveles with Androgel thand with Testopel which has large long periods of high T at the beginning and very low T (crash) towards the end. Wondering if...

Greetings Gents: Anyone here who moved away from Testopel to Androgel? Or if you are taking Androgel, what is your general impression? I used androgel before and found that I never got my levels to go up sufficiently high enough but I didn't try other strengths. Please share your thoughts...

Thank you this is super helpful: I started T shots on my thighs with that giant needle and absolutely hated it. I have been doing the pellets a long time now and you are right, it boosts up T and drops it like a rock the last month. Now your regimen is interesting: you are doing 2 times a week...

Thank you I will definetly look into adding HCG into the TRT therapy. I am still mulling daily TRT shots. All those needles or pellets every 2 months. Decisions decisions.

Thank you, were you also injecting HCG?

Thank you. I believe I may have suffered more from bad doctors than the condition itself!! No one told me once every 2 weeks was outdated. I experienced a lot of mood issues with that so out of frustration moved to pellets. I have been doing pellets a long time so if anyone has any questions on...

Hello friends, Romans, countrymen: I've been on TRT since forever (Never went through puberty). Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism. Over the years I've only been on TRT and nothing else. For years, I did injections every 2 weeks subq on my thigh but found the cycles and mood swings to be...

Thank you but I've had Hypogonadism for a long time. I never went through puberty so it's not like I had normal Testosterone ever created in my body. I think most of the folks on the forum had somewhat normal testicular function but decreased by age. I never had normal testicular function. But I...

Thank you. 6 weeks sounds pretty messed up but I guess I have to deal with it. I am not taking anything for estrogen.

So my prescription says "Inject 1ML intramuscularly once a week". I have a 1 ML vial of Testosterone Cyponate Injection 200 mg/mL. I've been injecting the 1ML vial. On testopel I did good until the last month when I came crashing down. I had been on Testopel for over 5 years. I thought maybe...
