Disasterous appoinment at my doc

Yesterday I had an appointment at my Urologist office and what a disappointment is was. (What a disaster)!

He only schedules my appointments on 6 month basis and only include in my blood tests beside lipids, liver enzyme etc.. total testosterone, Hemoglobin/Hematocrit and PSA. Which is very few things to included in blood test for someone who is on TRT, so I asked him kindly if he could add some things to be checked: Free Testosterone or at least SHBG, Estradiol, DHEA-s and DHT. (I can have these checked but I have to pay a lot more without a doc´s request at my local lab). He almost got angry and simply said “there was no justification what´s so ever having these tested” aren´t you feeling fine or? I could have had answered him back but decided not to do since I haven´t yet found a specialist in Portugal.

The only thing that came out positive by this appointment was that he agreed to let me split the Testoviron 250mg Depot ampule into 2-3 injection within a three week period. What a relief that was! Than he prescribed 10 ampule which will be enough until next time. And thank you very much and see you on June 2th 2015.
So I left like a little school boy with my questions unanswered: Like what would his opinion be, for instance, shall I draw all the 1ml from the ampule into one syringe and after each injection just change the needle (like a preloaded syringe) or shall use 3 different syringes with 33, 3% of the liquid in each of them etc..

Therefor I would be happy if someone could give some suggestions on this. I would prefer the first option, one syringe that can be used for three shots just having to change the needles after each shot. Clean and nice.

Finally since I wouldn´t even dream of asking him to prescribe me HCG (Pregnyl) which is very cheap here to buy. I´ll guess I have to treat myself so therefor I would appreciate if someone could inform me where I can buy HCG on-line in Europe from a trustworthy company.

ps. I managed to handle over an article by Dr. John Crisler that I downloaded from this forum, let´s see if he will learn something new hehe

Thx,

Tommy

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
