Burly's TRT journey

[burlyman30]

Thanks for the info, Valdez. I'm not aware of all the testosterone "potions", but it's funny that two of you mentioned the deodorant-style one, as I rarely watch tv, but just happened to see that same commercial in the last week. Though using a daily cream sounds like something easy to forget or get too busy to do, the deodorant one actually makes sense as it is a normal morning activity. I know one of my friends is using the pellet implants and another friend is getting his compounded.

Sperwer, wow, you have quite a regimen! You've done well with your cholesterol, too. Glad to see that.

I use Testogel when I am in Sweden. ...
Here's a tip: shave your scrotum and penis. Put about 1/3 to 1/2 of the packet on there. Put the rest on your chest. The effect is tremendous. .

I do this sometime too - WTF is it with us guys? - but be forewarned: you will be walking around with a "hunka, hunka burning love" for a bit afterwards. And, of course, it's not advisable if you are expecting any action.

I know around my parts they won't give you TRT even if you're down at 250. They haven't a clue how to administer test here, I heard they put a dude on Test P 100mg bi-weekly, nothing else.

A buddy of mind got prescribed 180mg bi-weekly of Test P by a so-called Hormonal Specialist.

I told my buddy to ask his endo about hcg because clomid is making him feel like death and she said "that's a really good idea, I'll have to look into that..." Its crazy to me how far behind some are. This is your specialty lady, lets get it going!!!

Same goes for my buddies doctor. She's also my primary care physician who specializes in Test recovery treatments... Yet, when I spoke to her about all this stuff and what I've taken, it didn't seem like she knew much.

Yea dude that's axiron, I just saw a commercial for that a few days ago. I laughed out loud

I see that damn commercial on ESPN all the time! They know their target audience.

Right?! You'd think with medicine always changing due to new studies, that they would focus on becoming more progressive.

Thanks guys.

Doc wants me to start at 200mg/e2weeks for now. In 3 months we will do a pre and post injection blood test and check levels. Dosage adjustment from there. I asked about injecting every week and she wanted to start with every two weeks and then change from there as needed in 3 months. She was open to weekly injections and says some of her patients inject weekly now. I will comply for now. Any increase will be good at this point.

You'll notice that my Test levels were higher than originally stated in this thread. The endo didn't believe the earlier results I had gotten, and did 3 consecutive tests early in the morning, rather than later morning as the original had been done. All 3 of the new tests came out nearly identical.

Hematologist cleared me and said that my RBC count was good to go and that this out of range (slightly) number might be normal for me and that all my other numbers looked great.
