Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 Hello everyone, I just returned from the urologist with a diagnosis of hypogondism. He put me on an intitial shot of 600mg of Depot-T with aditional 400mg shots every 3 weeks. My question is how long will it take for me to start seeing results and what kind of improvements can I expect. I am 42 and my t reading was 138. Also, is this going to be a roller-coaster ride or will everything level out once the T gets built up in my system? Thanks for all you help, Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Malcolm, Everyone responds differently. One of first things that I noticed was return of morning piss hardons. You may wish to consider going on 200 mg/week. Many men that crash have long cycles like you will be on i.e. every three weeks. I never crashed and I didn't loose any nut mass. I was on 100 mg/wk Depo Apr thru Oct '01....had T levels measured twice Blood collected 8th day after last injection of 100 mg Depo-Testosterone on... June 4th '01 .. . . .Testosterone .. . . . . .Total. . . . . . . . . 989 (241 - 827) .. . . . . .Free. . . . . . . . ..42.0 (6.6 - 18.1) July 9th '01 .. . . . .Total. . . . . . . . . 774 .. . . . . Free. . . . . . . . . 38.8 My free T was TOOOOOOOO high so I asked PCP to go back onto AndroGel 10 G/dy. Someone posted that high free T can exacerbate T > E conversion...which apparently was true. Aug 2nd my estrogen was 198 (40 - 115) and estradiol 87 (<54). That's when I asked for an Arimidex Rx. My attempts controlling Es with ChryDim gel, over a nine month period, were unsuccessful.

Some men find 1 mg Arimidex/eod....I tried that and my levels are shown from 12-5-01 bled above.. I would suggest that you obtain copies of all your lab results and maintain them in a manner suitable for you. I have my lab results going back to 1989. Good luck, OR eon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less of a roller coaster that way. There will be a variety of improvements that will occur over a long period of time, probably taking months. Don't be too shocked if your testicles start to shrink after 6 months though. You know you'll become sterile also, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 The testosterone level will rise in a day or so. The therapeutic benefits may take weeks or months. You may find it necessary to increase or lessen the dose for maximum benefit. More frequent doses of lesser amounts will help lessen any roller- coaster effect.
