[QUOTE="Pacman, post: 12519, member: 2450"] Wow. The urologist I saw did not describe the pellet at all in the fashion it is being described here. He told me that all I need is to have a pellet inserted in me every 3-6 months, and my testosterone levels will safely go up to approximately 800 with barely any side effects. He didn't explicitly say it would only be [I]one[/I] pellet, but I assumed that's what he meant. This sounds like a dream come true! High T levels, so convenient, and barely any side effects? That's why I was so stuck on it. But from what I hear on this forum and from Nelson, that it's not that simple? Besides for price of treatment, there actually isn't a guarantee that it will bring the T levels up to 800 like the urologist promised? I am actually VERY curious about the shots right now, and I would love if someone were to answer some questions I have about that treatment: 1. What about the testosterone fluctuations from doing the shots that my endocrinologist warned me about? Should I request bi-weekly injections? Would that keep everything more stable? 2. What dosage would be a good starting dosage considering that I'm on 4 pumps of Androgel 1.62% for about a year now, and my total T never went above 450? Should I be starting at a higher dosage? 3. When I do the blood tests to see how effective the treatment is, when should it be done? Should it be done the day before I do an injection? (Side note: I always do my blood tests [U]before[/U] I apply the Androgel the same day) 4. I know that this question may bring up some controversy, but what is the most effective TRT form of treatment for building muscle? My endocrinologist said "you shouldn't be on TRT for that reason". But the truth is, building muscle and getting in shape is so much more important to me right now than having a sex drive (which is what my endocrinologist seems to put the most emphasis on every time I see him). I do not have a girlfriend right now, and the most important priority for me in life, is to get very fit! I am not trying to use TRT like steroids, but if I am [I][U]already[/U][/I] on it, might as well choose the most effective form of TRT for building muscle, don't you agree? What form/dosage of the shots (or other forms of TRT) have shown to be the most effective for bodybuilding and workouts? Thank you all in advance for helping me out! :) [/QUOTE]
