[QUOTE="TransitPoloce, post: 56525, member: 14550"] Hi There, I've recently started TRT at 33 years of age after noticing low Test levels from a general health checkup of 267 ng/dl. I went to a GP for a second blood test and my free testosterone came back with 4.92 ng/dl and 217 ng/dl Total test - so she was open to treat it with TRT. My doc is open minded and seems fairly progressive, but is def not a TRT specialist. I had alot of the common symptoms such as fatigue, mental fog, slight depression, low energy, low lebido, ED. I live fairly healthy , workout reguarly, Eat well and rarely drink, I'm 5'11, 175lbs. ----- It's just Testoviron Depot 250mg ampules or Nebido available for TRT here - so I began on Test E 250mg every 2 weeks administered by my doctor. I have asked to switch to 125mg weekly, however my doctor wanted to check my Test levels after a month on current dose, which she wants to do midway between doses - a week after/before injections. I do have the option to self administer and change the schedule (Test E is OTC here), but I wanted to make sure I had a Doctor happy to work with me and to monitor everything before I did that. I didn't get my E2 levels checked before starting TRT, but checked a week after the first injection and they were extremely low at 6.3 pg/ml, Ref 25.8 - 60.7 pg/ml - my Dr suggested a retest as this was extremely low, but wasn't too concerned that they were low. I'm not sure the type of test it was, it just says Estradiol (E2) I had a comprehensive blood test done and other outliers were low RBC and Hemoglobin, LDL was High at 172 and a low HDL. Other relevant blood work: LH: 1.78 mIU/ml Ref 1.7 - 8.6 mIU/ml FSH: 2.7 mIU/ml Ref 1.5 - 12.4 mIU/ml HCT: 36.8 L Ref 43.5 - 53.7 LDL 172 mg/dl Ref <130 HDL 39 mg/dl Ref >40 TSH: 0.779: uIU/ml Ref 0.27 - 4.2uIU/ml Fasting Glucose: 75 mg/dl ----- How soon should I recheck my blood work / test levels after beginning TRT? I haven't had any negative side effects so far - some testical shrinkage in the first week, but they seem to have gone back to normal. Libido / ED seemed to improve almost immediately after starting. Any other advice on changing my dosing schedule or ancillaries I should look into? Thanks for your help guys. [/QUOTE]
