Guest guest Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 No, I thought he was just ordering other tests to check adrenals and such. The whole thing took me by surprise. I have a scrip to get another blood test before I see him again (March 10th), so I'll tell him then what happened. <>Roni Immortality exists! It's called knowledge!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Just got back my testosterone numbers after being on 5g of androgel for a little over 3 weeks. TESTOSTERONE, TOTAL 252 250-1100 % FREE TESTOSTERONE 1.71 1.5-2.2 TESTOSTERONE, FREE 43.1 35.0-155.0 What do you think? These were drawn at 3pm, how much does test vary from am to afternoon? If it's 252 at 3, what would it have been at 8 or 9am? My endo told me to wait several more weeks to draw blood so this was drawn by my primary. Should I fax him these numbers? I'm afraid he's gonna get pissed that I drew blood with another doc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Your levels are to low the gel is not high enough you need to try more and doing the test at 3 would be higher if our put the gel on that morning. I tell men do a shower get your blood tested first thing in the morning then go home on put on the gel. If you can't do this shower put on the gel keeping it off the area they take the blood from and do labs after 6 hrs. Endo's are not good Dr. for low T WTF if it were him you think he would want to suffer with them levels after trying Androgel. The Idea about doing labs after starting on gels is to see if it's working it's not. I feel it's criminal to tell you to wait a few more weeks he dose not know WTF he is doing. Run from this SOB. You need to try more 10 grams and if this dose not get your levels up past 600 switch to shots. Starting at 100 mgs a week. If you need help finding a new Dr. check out the database section see it there is a Dr. listed there in your area. Of read in the files section " Finding a New Male Hormone Dr. " then before you see one call and ask questions like Dose he check for high Estradiol in men on TRT and treat with arimidex and if a man is Secondary meaning this pituitary is not working to tell his testis to make T dose he use HCG to treat them. You will know when you have a good one.
