Go to another. Test has many more jobs than getting your pp hard. Cardiac stuff also. If you are sub 300 your good for a script.


Never had an issue with this lol but that's the common joke. Low T can cause weak bones, hair loss, low energy, hard to burn fat, probably more. Since I started I feel better than ever, I've turned from a night owl into a morning person, I recover a lot faster after a workout, stamina is greatly increased.

My old PCP never had me do labs. I switched PCPs and the new doc had me do labs because I has indicated my parents had a history of heart issues. Now I am on a statin for cholesterol and "btw NB, your T levels are around 250 which is very low."

I take a bunch of pills every day though:
Torvistatin for cholesterol
CoQ-10 and krill oil for heart health & replace what statin can take away
Finasteride is a prostate med but he prescribed this to accelerate hair regrowth
Zyrtec because oklahoma
DIM SGS+ to regulate estrogen (when you do TRT, your estrogen will increase along with the testosterone. Too much estrogen = no good)
Methyl B12
Losartin for elevated blood pressure
hCG to prevent testicular shrinkage
baby aspirin for blood thinner

And I do 200mg of test per week, split 50% into two separate doses because my first lab (3 months after starting TRT; 2 days after most recent injection) had my test level at 1800 so he told me to split it 50/50 Tuesday/Saturday.

Low t is caused by gravity


Everybody on trt is 5’8 or shorter

I take it, has worked great. Make sure you inject into a muscle, I use the thigh. Previous doctor had me injecting into the glutes and it wasn't working, probably due to too much fat around that area. GL

I used to be on a statin. Get off. They wreck your body. I'm using niacin now , levels are fine. Coq10 is probably to offset pain from statin. Known side effect

You will have to donate blood regularly when you are on Testosterone, and of course the blood work to see when it is time for another blood donation treatment. Looks like a PITA, especially if you don't have a place close by to go.

I’m just shy of 72, 6’1”, now 195, test is slightly over 400 and doc offered me the testosterone treatment. I’ve held off for now but am considering it. YOLO maybe!

Look into taking enclomiphene for trt first. It may work well for you.

If you do get on test cyp, then add on the enclomiphene. It has replaced hcg. Helps keep your fertility and prevents testicular shrinkage.

One of the common themes I see in these threads are that T supps rapidly result in dramatic weight loss when previous attempts through diet and excercise haven't delivered the desired results- the T injections get them there. Once achieved, do the T supplements get reduced because being slimmer and fitter creates more natural T? Once you start, can you ever "get off" the T?

Don’t listen to some of these clowns. Your natural test levels will never get back to higher levels without supplementation. If I was you I’d do enclomiphene first. The injections are a pain in the arse to keep up with. I would do the pellets, lasts 5-6 months.

My test level dropped all the way down to 175, I take enclomiphene twice a week and 300 mg test cyp and it’s in the 1200 range now
