TRT advice

[canes123]

My doc has prescribed me TRT, while I'm not sure if I'm going to do it or try some other way to jump start my natural production first I wanted to see if you guys would be willing to share some knowledge on something.

Doc wants me to do 100mg of test cyp every other week. Isn't doing every other week going to inevitably lead to peaks and valleys of test levels and feeling worse than I did to begin with? Also would you guys insist on having HCG as a part of any TRT regimen?

100mg isn't even enough for weekly. Every other week is horrible, even at a correct dose. What kind of doctor are you using?

Seeing an endo. Not sure how to go about telling him he's wrong and getting the right doses.

 

[Saiyan7]

My endo refused to give TRT. I quit seeing him when he wanted to do a clomid only without even caring about estrogen. I now use an anti aging clinic. Only bad thing is no insurance for it. Honestly though bro. The only way to prove to him he is wrong, is to follow orders and show him the bloods.

Bump,

This is a very big decision for me and I know how knowledgeable a lot of you are. I'd really, really appreciate some input from you guys who know this stuff inside and out.

100 mg's every other week? That will do more harm than good. Let me re-phrase that it will do NOTHING to help you.

You need a new doctor.

HCG no, but you do need an AI as part of your regime.

Once you go on TRT, there's no going back (probably) it's like the mafia; once you're in, you're in for life. You may also not be able to conceive, so decide if you want a family someday.

Thanks for the advice EZ. Is the low fertility reversible if you come off of TRT for a period of time to restore your sperm count? That's what my doc said, but I don't think that he knows what he's doing.

Yeah it's reversible. You can either come off for several months with or without PCT- Which sounds like NO FUCKING FUN. Or do HCG as RX by you Dr.....

The HCG will be the best and more expensive route but then you are not having to go off TRT and suffering the potential depression, impotence and etc.

No problem bossman....What your doc said is the theory, my original TRT doc told me that there are ways, but I'm not a risk taker & I'd be skeptical.
