TRT. Who's on it?

[lowfast]

I feel best with E remaining in check anywhere between 800-1000. So I try to keep it right at or below 1000. I have had it higher but don't seem to feel as good possibly due to higher E.

to those of you going to a dr., what's the goal range the dr. is trying to get you to? Or, if you are already set with a Rx, what range are you in?

The doc at T Off said they will let guys got to over 1100 but below 1200. I know a guy here that goes to T Off and at 200mg a week he is around 1100.

The rest of the labs went to quest and take a few days. They need to check your psa and a few others before putting you on it.

T Off practice requires 6 months off weekly visits for injections before allowing prescriptions and doing it yourself. The doc can wave it though if they feel comfortable with you. My first appointment with them I brought 9 months if labs and a full physical packet.

I did think that doc gave a great consult. I think her name was Jessica. Who did you speak with?

Jessica, It was kinda a odd visit. More or less your levels are low come back next week and we will have your blood results and start you on it. Go out and set a appt. I was like well ok then. I want to ask more questions but I truly do not know much about this other than this thread. I have felt like shit for awhile now and I know why now.

Side effects, what to not do on it. They said take a aspirin everyday ( I am a smoker- but trying to stop) Non drinker

Do the injections yourself, go with sub-Q rather than IM injection and split dose into two, one every 3.5 days.

If they refuse to let you do it yourself find a new doc. PM me and I can refer you to mine, he is not too far away, in Carrollton right off of 121)

awesome this is what I was looking for, I was seeing people say don't do it once a week split it up.

Thank you i will let you know next Tuesday

So went to T off in Keller today, test level was at 279. Dr said to come back in a week to get the other blood work back and start on it. They said weekly injections can't I do this myself?

[KBScobravert]

Any chance she elaborated on why 3 days after? I take mine same day as the injection.

It takes your body 3 days to fully break down the cypionate and release the Test. Therefore that is when you are at your highest T count. Which is why she says take 3 days after pinning.

I am about to bump it up a few mgs for the next 2 months and going to do a injection after 4 days then another after 3 days and see how I feel about it.

Finally got to see a real doc who treats this stuff on a daily. Went to T Off in Keller on the recommendation of a few others.

Labs came back next day and E2 was a 40. She put me right on Anastrozole, 1mg weekly 3 days after injections of Test.

Well that explains why I was sweating so badly.

My physical I took in Dubai 2 weeks prior went well also. Passed everything with ease. Lipid profile came back just fine. Reds were not elevated enough to cause them to take notice. So, until next year.

Thanks, Dave. I'll be flying from Niger to Dubai for this physical so no real opportunity yo give blood before hand. But if my numbers come back too high for reds, I'll be home by the time the results are in. I'll give blood then and retest then claim the first test was a fluke. Just can't give useable blood because of the malaria meds.

I'm praying my losing 40 pounds in the past year and eating tight with tons of exercise fixed my cholesterol levels.

I lost 20lbs after testing high for cholesterol and triglycerides, for our health insurance exam, and was well within spec when tested again 3 months later. Eat right and you'll be fine.

Or just give blood the day before...

And just drinking water and eating healthy the few days leading up to your testing would get your cholesterol down assuming you dont have significant troubles to start with.
