[QUOTE="mitcHELLspawn, post: 269510, member: 46178"] Wow. Thank you so much for taking the time to type out such a thoughtful and informative response. It is very eye opening and makes total sense. I am very happy to have a doctor that took pity on me and prescribed something for it as my family doctor simply didn’t care, but at the same time I’ve always kind of known he definitely doesn’t really know what he’s doing. Like you said though as long as I have the prescription I can make the necessary changes. So I actually proactively started splitting my dose on Monday - I injected 125MG rather than my prescribed 250MG, and I will be continuing with the 125MG injections weekly. Understanding that even weekly I will have some hormone fluctuation, I honestly think it would be very hard for me to move to twice a week as the process of injecting is a very rough experience every time without fail. I do injections into the glute with 1.5” 23 gauge needles and man it hurts sometimes. My wife actually does it for me thankfully cuz I don’t think I could do it myself haha. I did try a few 1” in the shoulder which wasn’t bad, but I wonder if I’m starting to build up any kind of scar tissue or something because sometimes it’s like the needle gets stuck half way and then she has to push past it and it finally goes in. It’s not very pleasant to say the least haha. So with that being said, I will man up and keep going with weekly at least. Finally, in regards to the topical 50MG - it seems to be a running theme from everyone who comments to say to stop using it. I have a few questions about that. Is it simply because you think the 125MG weekly is enough, or is there additional reasons such as mixing 2 types of test? I’m wondering - if my levels are still going to fluctuate with the weekly injections, wouldn’t the daily topical application then at least aid a bit in making sure the levels remain someone stable? Again thanks so much for taking the time to respond. Everyone really. I didn’t expect to get such a great range of responses and I am so appreciative! [/QUOTE]
