New to TRT

[Vince Carter]

IF you need insurance to cover things look at Low T Center, I was only paying $15/week with them. The care and protocol left something to be desired but it's an option.

I'm 22 years old, was told yesterday my testosterone was at 197.
I didn't realize that someone could make a baby with testosterone that low.

I suppose if treatment is lacking either place I might as well stay where I'm at and hope he is just starting slow and improves his treatment.

Not sure, from everything I've read low testosterone doesn't make it impossible it just makes it difficult.
I suppose that improbability will turn into an impossibility once I get going with treatment thought right?

Not impossible, but makes it harder. https://www.excelmale.com/forum/sho...-looking-to-get-my-T-up-and-get-wife-pregnant

Very interesting. Another thing I will add to the already long list of things needed to be discussed with him next month.

 

[Joe Martin]

Okay guys, my doctor finally got me the lab results after 3 weeks!

Here is what I got, everything that was out of normal range is included!

Here is the "Program" I'm on.

Testosterone cypionate 200mg/mL
Inject 0.25 ML every 4 weeks.

Testosterone cypionate 200mg/mL
Inject 0.25 ML every 4 weeks.

Am I reading that correctly? 50mg's a month?

 

[Joe Martin]

Yes, it says that when i get bloods in two weeks that he will re evaluate.

If you read some of the previous replies and whatnot you'll find how odd his prescription has been.

 

[Henry]

I read it but I couldn't believe it. I thought maybe he had you on Testosterone Undeconate.

That's the only one I read of with such a long time between shots

 

[Joe Martin]

Yeah I'm going to take him some research and info on prescription recommendations and talk to him about chasing it.

I've actually become more tired since I've started.

Well, you're going to feel miserable on that protocol. As has been pointed out to you on this and other threads, the key to success on a TRT protocol is small amounts of testosterone injected frequently. A good starting dose is 50mg every 3.5 days. With the program you've been prescribed your estradiol will skyrocket, and within 10-14 days, depending on a number of factors - mainly SHBG - you will have eliminated the amount you've been injected...and feel miserable for three weeks. Then you start the fun all over again. This doctor is not going to help you recover from hypogonadism. He failed to test for SHBG, estradiol (using the LC, MS/MS test), DHT...he's a menace.

Thanks, I go in next week for another injection, then two weeks after that i get blood work done, then I go see my doctor.

He's ONLY testing for total testosterone on that test.
Hopefully he sees that things don't look the way they should be looking and changes protocol.

Thanks for your help again.

Unlikely...have a backup plan. This really isn't a Dr you want anything to do with. Atleast in regards to TRT.

I agree, except for Total T of all those tests they're all kind of just ancillary to TRT and have little direct bearing.

I really cant afford a clinic, I could maybe afford $200 a month in total.
I've been looking around here in Jacksonville FL and it seems to be a pretty dead spot in terms of TRT.

All I know is I feel worse than when I started.

 

[Vince Carter]

Defy will run you less than $200/mth, by a longshot.

Fantastic, several members have now recommended them, If my upcoming doctor appointment doesn't result in a breakthrough I'm going to go ahead and consult with Defy. Thanks a lot man.

Call Defy, or email them, tomorrow. They will answer each and every question you have (including cost-related issues). Line them up - you'll not find relief with your current doctor.

Let us know how this sorts out. All the best.
