She probably took allot of time with you because she liked touching your balls. (I'm kidding)..I hope all goes well (I'm sure it will)

You have no idea how much pleasure I took in telling my wife about another woman handling my package. I started telling her the doctor seemed romantically interested in me, etc. I've been married 20 years, and I just love to stir the pot and get a reaction out of her. It never gets old for me. lol.

So it seems that problem may be with pituary... As a secondary- you would be better of to start with HCG only (IMO) and then add testosterone as required. HCG is must have (IMO) as it will bring some other homones along.

I just got my approval for an MRI of the pituitary. I'll be calling to schedule that asap.

I got blood drawn 3 separate times this morning, so they could check for any variance in testosterone levels.

This afternoon, I meet with the hematologist about my elevated RBC.

Tomorrow they perform an MRI to check if there is a tumor on my pituitary gland.

x2. It would be great to see how high you can get your test levels with some therapy

Ok... so the last couple of days, I have been running around between specialists and testing facilities.

They have taken a fair amount of blood, but not so much that I am light headed. Much of this was for the Endo to run her own set of tests after being unsatisfied with the previous tests I've done over the last month.

I had an MRI done yesterday, to make sure there was not a tumor on my pituitary. Dang, that thing gave me a freakin' headache. I asked the tech about that. He says "No, it doesn't cause headaches. But a lot of people complain of headaches when they get done." LOL. Idiot.

I had a kidney ultrasound done for the hematologist. Apparently, the kidney gives off a signal to the bone marrow to produce more RBCs and he wanted to make sure there wasn't anything abnormal going on there. I have 2 more blood tests coming up for this specialist, before he clears me. When he looked at my existing lab results, he was not overly concerned, but wanted to cover his bases. My levels were only a point over range, but my platelet levels were right in the middle and my WBCs were totally normal. He says this may just be baseline for me.

Sorry, nothing major to report at this time... just figured I would clue you in on my journey, and all that it entails for me. I'm thankful for some docs who really appear to know their field well and seem genuinely concerned about me as a patient instead of a number. Also thankful for good insurance, as all this must be costing a pretty penny. My cost is very low.

glad to see they are taking care of you. I have been on TRT for the better part of 6 years now I guess. My lowest was 150's. the positive side of things is you can run cycles for longer now and not worry about shut down lol
