My best advice is find a knowledgeable Doctor that doesn't need to gain knowledge through your situation. This is still a new way of thinking for most medical professionals so they are definitely in a learning phase. Most older docs should be out of question because of this reason.

I started at 31. I'm currently 37. I can tell a tremendous difference in my quality of life.

I tried the gel and shots. I prefer the pellets every 3 months.

Ingive myself injections. You have to have blood test every so often to check your levels as well as ensure your red blood cell counts are not skyrocketed as it will make your blood "thick" and can cause a stroke. Benefits are great. You also have to have them test for your estrodiol levels. They will increase as well in direct response to the injections. Too high they can cause painful lumps on your breast. If your doctor doesn't want to pay attention to the adverse reaction to the spike in estrodiol then find a new doctor.

If you estrodiol is too high then you can offset the positive effects of the testosterone. I was able to reduce my dosage of cypionate once I added in a DHEA (mine was low) to help regulate the hormone levels and drop the estrogen
