re: Need Info on TRT

Depends - is that 76 in pg/ml or ng/dl. Mine originally showed up in my labwork as 97 pg/ml which I thought was decent but is only 9.7 ng/ml and in the 18th percentile (according to the gauge on my labs). In pg/ml, you are very low. In ng/dl you are very high with 76.

It’s pg/ml. I had bloodwork done just for general health reasons and not because of low T symptoms. My doc didn’t mention anything about it being low, but I didn’t ask either.

TTT… did your online TRT provider do an initial consult on protocol, and if you decided to, follow up with a prescription?
I think I need a second opinion on protocol, and I’m currently sitting here with 10 vials of TC so I do not necessarily need a prescription.
Just had a one month follow up and got labs taken, will get results Wednesday. PCP stood by one 200mg shot every 3 weeks, but I can keep doing subQ to see if it works. I want to increase the dose to 100 mg/wk but he advised not to (not his usual “starting dose”).
I feel kind of stuck, not sure where to go from here. Still feel like crud and need direction.
ETA:
Started TC on 1/10, due for next 50mg tomorrow

honestly i would find a new doctor or do online cause that dose is stupid.
should have started you at 100 or 140-150mg a week. your pcp doesnt really know what he is doing to be honest.

quote:Yes they scheduled a ~15min zoom session with the Doc. We went over the various T forms (gel, oral, injectable), whether I wanted to preserve my berries and swimmers, and anything else that I wanted to bring up. A prescription followed as I already knew I wanted to go the injectable route due to its efficacy.

quote:Yes you do but I'd say most online clinics are there to prescribe you the T. I'm not sure where to point you for just a Doc's advice on protocol. To be honest, most people on here are more knowledgeable than a PCP when it comes to TRT.

Thanks TTT… I’m going to go ahead and self modify and do 200mg every 2 weeks and claim ignorance at my next checkup. When my levels come back needing . I’m not looking to mess around at the beginning of this thing.

Yea from my research on the topic, 100mg/week is a nice low starting point. Hell, my total T of ~610 wasn't low by any means and my doc said he was starting me on a "low dose of 140mg/wk" to see how I responded after 1 month. I would start at the 200/2wk you mention and go from there

Got my 5 wk lab back… 632 and I have no idea how. Here’s what I did:
Start: 100mg IM
Day 10: 50 mg IM
Day 15: 50 mg SubQ
Day 20: 50 mg SubQ
Day 24: Blood Test
Day 25: 200 mg IM
Day 29: Today
I’m going to try his way as mentioned in the post above and go back in a month towards the end of my next 200mg dose to compare.
Start: 100mg IM
Day 10: 50 mg IM

Day 20: 50 mg SubQ

632 is nice - what did you start at 5 weeks ago?
Posted on 2/7/25 at 9:16 pm to TigerTatorTots
154, collection date of 12/20. It could have been lower by the time I started. I’m wondering if stress was a factor in it being so low initially because I felt so bad I thought something else was wrong with me, and I wasn’t sleeping well.
Posted on 2/7/25 at 9:36 pm to meeple
That’s a good increase but that’s also right after peak. Peak is between 48-72 hours usually.
Posted on 2/7/25 at 9:44 pm to lsu777
When should the collection be taken?
Posted on 2/7/25 at 9:46 pm to meeple
When you did is fine, I was just saying keep that in mind

Lots of truth right here

Has anyone ever tried Clomid?

Can you all learn me on Boron? Should I take it while on TRT? I keep seeing it mentioned in different discussions.
Posted on 2/8/25 at 6:00 pm to meeple
Paging 777
I don’t take boron. I don’t see a need for additional pills to increase my T if I’m already on oils but others may chime in with more info.
I’m already going broke keeping up with all the other supplements and vitamins
