Hi from Spring Texas- Testosterone Pellets ?

[j4ever]

hi everyone, I am 50 y/o soon to be 51, I am going to start trt after putting it off for a few years, my levels are not as bad as some that I have seen but here lately when I go to the gym I have no drive what so ever, also just to do things I have to do I will keep putting them off to the next day then the next day and so on, I am waiting for the results of the most recent bw that I had done, should be Monday, my last results about 10 weeks ago were tt 390 ref range 350-1200, ft 4.0 ref range 7-24, my libido is ok some days then it will be low for several days in a row, at 1 point a couple of years ago my levels were lower, tt 200, ft 2.0, I was able to bring them up after using clomid for 10-12 months at 25mg ed. just after I had my last bw done 10 weeks ago seems I started really going down in the drive and motivation dept, I have lost a couple pounds of lbm and some strength, some days just feel tired. I am trying to decide between im or pellets, I know how I get with injects as I have a hx of aas usage, when I was last on I stayed on for 2 years and the last 2 months I was sick of weekly injects so that is why I am considering pellets, I have been off all aas for 5-6 years. Anyway this is getting long, just want to introduce myself.

Pellets are decades out of date as a viable TRT strategy. I would give Prime Body or Defy Medical a call, both sponsors of this site and highly recommended.

Pellets can be great option for someone who hates to inject. Empower pharmacy close to Spring will soon make 200 mg pellets.

pellets messed me up pretty bad when I was on them. After about 6 weeks I had severe insomnia and when i did sleep i was having sleep apnea symptoms. woke up in the middle of the night a few times choking and legit thought I was dying. went through lots of testing(sleep study, visits to an ENT, etc) because the doctor that inserted the pellets was adamant that it was not the pellets causing all my issues. when the pellets finally wore off I was back to normal.

I hate jamming 4 needles into my body every week but its way better than having a sore ass for 2 weeks from the pellet insertion procedure every few months and going through all the other stuff I just detailed.

Why 4 needles per week?

 

[CoastWatcher]

In regard to the question of pellets or injectable testosterone, let me suggest you adopt a protocol relying on regular, small injections of testosterone rather than a pellet-based protocol. It is far easier to adjust your therapy when injecting. One can increase or decrease a dose, manage estradiol levels, and simply respond to the moment far more easily when injecting. Run a search here on EM, using the function near the top of the page, you'll find a lot of personal testimony on pellet use.

Why 4 needles per week?

i didn't like mixing cyp with hcg. so i do the cyp in delt with 1 needle and hcg in belly with another. both twice a week.

I have done two rounds of pellets. There is virtually no maintenance. One week out of 5 months, I have a sore hip and I have to skip my workouts.

The first round was awesome. High energy, fast recovery, better cognition, high libido, strong erections.

The second round, I am facing occasional ED, BUT, I am also under a lot more personal stress due to work and family health issues. The ED was at it's worst when I got some bad news about a loved one. Thankfully, it is resolving.

Overall, I have been very pleased.

Pellets get a lot of criticism in most testosterone forums. I accept that and I have reasons for using them. For instance, I have four sons (3 teens and a toddler). I also do foster care which adds some regulations to how I handle medication. For me, it is easier to use pellets right now. Gel/creams would risk transfer to my littlest. Injections would provide an opportunity for a crafty teen to steal my meds. You can say that I could make all the right efforts to prevent a teen from getting my Testosterone (and, of course, I would), but kids in foster care can be very sneaky. I don't want to create the risk when I have a viable alternative.

thanks everyone for the replies, suggestions and welcomes, as far as defy I am already working with a urologist close to me ( Dr Hogan ), so I stick with him for now and see how it plays out, he offers 3 modes, injects, gels and pellets, he does not push one over the other and said it is up to me to choose which one I want, and if I would like to switch down the road I can do that, I will probably go with injects for now, Nelson you got a expansive site with a lot of info, thanks, by the way Nelson you look like one of my co-workers, I mean you 2 dudes could pass for brothers, damn near twins, lol.
