The problem is you have dermatologist and others handing it out like candy and not prescribing the correct dosages.

You should be giving blood every 6-12 weeks anyways.

Started my first 100mg dosage today. I was worried about the shot because of so many people complaining, but it turned out to be child’s play. My test only comes in 200mg vials, so I was very temped to up my dosage.

My bloodwork came back at 2.53 ng/ml with a reference range of 1.9-7 or something like that.

Sigh. Vitamin D was low tho so he put me on something for that.

Are test injections the only way to increase test levels? I don’t think I need any now, I’m only 28. Just curious.

There are other ways of raising your levels naturally but the most surefire is the injections. It still wouldn't hurt to get some bloodwork done in order to find out all of your levels. I found out that I am very low on Vitamin D as well which I started a supplement.

I use Flood Family Medical in Prairieville. They manage all my health needs thoroughly including TRT. She used to work with Dr Bushan who is an endocrinologist. I highly recommend. Be sure to donate blood regularly to avoid stroke issues. They also monitor estrogen levels and counter measures. This can increase due to TRT.

Estradiol definitely went up, it was non-existent prior to treatment then went up 36.00 pg/mL. They prescribed me a medication to take after receiving the injections to help out with that. They have been incredibly thorough in the treatment process and they've already directed me to the blood center for donations.

Anyone know of good specialty clinics around montgomery alabama that are trust worthy?

Does insurance help cover this?

Your best bet to find one would be to check out Google Maps and then go through the reviews. My insurance covers quite a bit of the visits and bloodwork with my portion being a $35 copay per visit.

I’ve been taking 100mg test cypionate per week with a 500iu shot of HCG.

HCG is important and it helps to produce natural test production plus you have the exogenous testosterone with the shots. HCG also helps to maintain fertility and libido over the long haul. It your estrogen spikes you can add in some anastrozole.

Article on HCG with TRY

Also, if you think something else might be at play and just supplementing to fix the symptoms temporarily, HCG will also help to maintain natural test production. It’s easier to come off test while using HCG.

My ng/dl is coming in around 280.

Doctor is going to prescribe 75mg a week of test *INSERT A WORD I DONT KNOW OR SPELL*

How much should that bump my ng/dl on my labwork? Or is it completely up to the person and their body?
