Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 are you on androgel? what amounts are you taking 5g - TT levels at 300 say way too low ...your natural levels must have been around this mark to be considered for TRT in the first place > > >Hey all- > > > >Went to the Uro today for my six month check up....My T levels have always been around the 300 mark...I've got a conservative Uro who doesn't like high numbers, but rather treats symptoms.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Yes, I'm on Androgel...Have been for 2 years....8 pumps from the pump bottle. My levels have always been " low " until this visit...Wonder why they all of a sudden doubled? ________________________________ From: chrisdl2008 <chrisdl2008@...> Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2009 5:32:20 PM Subject: Re: Androgel and Yohimbe are you on androgel? what amounts are you taking 5g - TT levels at 300 say way too low ...your natural levels must have been around this mark to be considered for TRT in the first place > > >Hey all- > > > >Went to the Uro today for my six month check up....My T levels have always been around the 300 mark...I've got a conservative Uro who doesn't like high numbers, but rather treats symptoms.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Chris I dont know what 8 pumps of the bottle equates to in terms of concentration. I don't know why your levels would double all of a sudden either and if everything was kept constant I would have to think it was down to inaccurate analysis. Also don't know why your T conc would not be upped if your level was around 300 ng/dL mark to me - this seems totally pointless but I guess if you were functioning fine then maybe.... On the ED - have you tried Cialis...expensive to use all the time but works great for most people > > > > >Hey all- > > > > > >Went to the Uro today for my six month check up....My T levels have always been around the 300 mark...I've got a conservative Uro who doesn't like high numbers, but rather treats symptoms.
