My total T was high, but my free T was in normal range, so basically that is what he looked at to determine the dosage. My total T was 1397, but free T was good. So we left the dose the same. My friend works for Quest and he says that the machine can sometimes throw out incorrect number, so...

Thanks all. I have an appointment next week to get the ultrasensitive test. So will see what happens then. Thanks for the information.

Honestly today is the first day I've heard of ultra sensitive test. I should read up more often. I just assume that my doctor would automatically know this stuff. Thanks for the info btw. I just wonder if I need to go further out than per week on the injections, but if my free T is in normal...

nah, I don't believe it was a sensitive test. it says Roche methodology. I just know it has been increasing every month and been having nipple sensitivity along with bloating/water retention. I haven't taken any yet. You think half a mg per week would cause it to crash that much? I would...

Hi all, I just recently had my latest labs done and my total T level was very high. It made a huge leap from the previous month or so. My total T was 1397 and off hand I can't remember the free T, but the doctor said it was still in normal range. My Estradiol level was high, I believe it was...

I just pulled my lab test from the website. On 9/3 my estradiol was <6 and 10/17 my Estradiol was 32pg/ml. I don't think we did any labs in November, so next week I will get another set done to see how the 10 day cycle is working.

hi Nelson. I will have to get my lab work and get the correct information, then I will provide the specifics. I don't have them on me at the moment. I meant to get a copy yesterday while at the Dr. office, but was in a rush and forgot. I just know he mentioned my estradiol increased quite a...

Thank you Gene Devine. I can't remember if he said half a pill once a week or once a month, may have been once a month. I told him about my mood issues and he said the raised Estrogen levels could be responsible for that, but not doing anything until my next set of labs. I just don't want to...

I was doing my injections once a week and my numbers were pretty high, in the 900 range, so we decided to start doing injection every 10 days to see how that influences my numbers. My Estrogen levels jumped pretty high since last test, I was originally <6 and last test I was in the 30 area and...

I was just wondering if anyone is on this therapy. I was reading from some sites that the cost of HGH is like 800 to 1000 bucks a month. That seems quite expensive and I believe insurance doesn't pay for that from what I understand. I figured you would have to be rolling in the dough to afford...

oh ok...I got some of those 5mg my doctor gives me samples. I just very seldom take them. That's good to know. Thanks Nelson

so guys, are their any treatments that might counteract the BPH side-effect of TRT? I don't know if BPH is what I have, it seems back to normal since I haven't had a shot in about 11 days. I still am going to visit a Urologist soon before I start back up. I'm going to stay off it until...

Thank you Nelson. I believe that is what I am going to do before I start back.

PSA was 1.3

Hi Mike, yeah I was reading your post and sounded like same issue. I just didn't want to Hijack your thread with my problems. So yeah I'm trying to figure out the same thing. The folks at the testosterone clinic want me to continue, but I believe their interest is more for the $ versus my...

I posted something a while back concerning this right after starting TRT. After the second shot I started getting some inflammation in the prostate/bladder area. I was going every week to get a shot. I asked the guy at the clinic to reduce the dose. That seemed to help for the next two...

My doctor also talked to me last visit that he may put me on an anti-estrogen pill my next shot. My E has gone up quite a bit from original. I've take a shot once a week, but have been noticing some libido issues from time to time. Once my I get my new blood work from Friday I will update the...

Thank you for the explanation. I get confused of what does what. I have another appointment on Friday which will include blood work to test all the levels. So I will bring it up to the doctor and see what he says.

Well I don't even know what DIM or AI stands for. I'm new to all of this. I would just like my libido like it was the first couple of shots. Does HCG fix this?

I seem to be experiencing the same issue. My first two shots my libido and erections were great, but now I how hardly no libido or erections. I know my estradiol went up, so I wonder if that's the issue and what to do about it.

I'm going to my primary Doctor next week. I didn't have any issues with the last shot thankfully. My PSA numbers are still in normal range.

Hi Vettester, I seen my doc today for another injections. I did mention to him about the HCG and he agrees that if I'm getting atrophy that HCG would help, but he isn't convinced of It yet. The thing about this doctor is that I can get him to make any definite decisions. He said starting HCG...

I was just reading an article. It seems there is an article every other day on nbcnews about Testosterone. I hope this is not true. Maybe I should ask for an extra shot of the flu vac while taking T. And another one released in December found that men with higher levels of the male hormone...

Thanks everybody for sharing . I'm waiting on the full blood work to come back today. Dr wants to review before doing another shot. He advised yesterday that we will lower the dose either way to see if that helps. I will update

I had an injection last Wednesday I believe was 125ml. I believe ML is the correct unit in the injection. The first time they tested a month ago was not a fasting number and was taken afternoon.

I just got my blood work done this AM, fasting. The T levels were out of the roof at 1000, so I declined getting another shot until we look at the entire blood panel. I want to see where my PSA levels are at and etc...

I don't think I'm going to be able to tolerate it. My prostate was inflamed all weekend, just started getting back to normal last night. It really sucks because I was getting my energy back and sex drive as well. I just can't deal with the prostate inflammation every week. I'm only taking...

Hi all, I don't mean to keep asking silly questions. I am very new to taking these shots. So far I have had 3 shots, first one was 250, second and third were 125ml. After the second shot, I would say 24 hours or so I began feeling like I was having some prostate issues. Sort of feels like a...

Right now i'm only taking the Testosterone, only had 2 injections one each week. I want to say the first shot was 400 and the second was lower at 200

Hi Vettester, Thank you. I have a copy of the tests that were run. I'm not sure how to upload it or scan it. ALT (SGPT) =22 TSH=0.783 LH=1.2 (shows low) FSH = 2.4 Prolactin =8.9 Estradiol= <6 (shows very low) Sex Hormone binding serum = 97.0 (shows in High range) I was asked if I had taken...

Thank you Gene. I will take a look. Thank you for directing me
