[QUOTE="Jeff C, post: 3786, member: 86"] Drs appointments are first week in January. Same urologist, but she only ordered PSA and total T. However, I'm seeing a new internist/family practice dr. and I've heard he's very thorough. I'll check the forum for specific tests that should be done, he may be open to ordering them. The tests that aren't done in the hospital lab are sent to Quest Diagnostic. I'm open to suggestions of tests that need to be ran. This may be a long answer to the question from Keith. I'm 59, been on TRT for over 3 1/2 years. I started on Androgel 1% 50mg, which raised my T to the 430's. Libido was ok. When I switched insurance, the new insurance didn't cover T replacement so I tried a compound pharmacy in Milwaukee. T dropped to 255. Then I went on Axiron. First 3 pumps then four pumps (120mg) and T only went up to 343. I read about applying moisturizer, tried it and T jumped to low 800's on 120mg. Per my Dr, I reduced to 90mg and now I'm low 700's (still applying moisturizer). This is my second day of 60mg with moisturizer, I want to see if lower is better. Because of the big jump from 300's to 800, I don't know if I missed the optimum level. Thanks for everyone's help! [/QUOTE]
