[QUOTE="Scenmed, post: 89620, member: 15857"] An update after doc's office visit today. I asked him to review the latest T readings (402/6.03) and compare them to any prior readings over the last 2+ years since they are lower now than anytime after starting with 2 pumps daily of Androgel 1.62%. I mentioned that in addition to the lower numbers that subjectively, I'm not as energetic, not having great libido nor am I breaking records in the morning wood department. His response, "last time your numbers were too high (640/13.4) and now they look good." No matter to him that I don't feel as energetic, libidinal etc... I asked if we could switch to T Cyp injects of 50mg 2x week done SC at home and he said not likely. 400mg per month as a start dosage is "way, way too much!" Of course, he insisted it would be too many office visits and I repeated I could do the injects at home with 29 gauge, 1/2" needles in the fat pad above the buttocks. He said I read too much online! He also said, "sure I can make you feel great for a month or two and high dose juice you but my job is to make certain your healthy in five years, not just next month." Stick with 2 pumps of Androgel he ordered and of course I said okay. 60 years old going on 16 after leaving his office. Everything I cited he had a story to nullify my input. He's a good doctor but not well versed in the TRT department.
