I have a few questions about Test Injections

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am 30years old and found out that I have low bone density, especially in

my spine. I went to the doctor and found out that my testosterone is low (low

200s). I went through a lot of tests, including an MRI, and we couldn't find

out why my test is low for my age.

I have been on Angrogel 5g for one month now. I just visited with my doctor and

I am going to start taking injections every 2 weeks instead of the gel (gel cost

me $95/mo. Injections cost $15/mo).

I think injections will be better for me anyways and I still had a few questions

that my doc didn't get to fully answer (you know how you come up with stuff that

you should have asked and forgot). I was hoping to see if some experienced

folks here could weigh in on the subject.

1. I am worried that the concentrated dose that the injections gives you will

also boost my estradiol levels (I really don't want to end up with

gynocomastia). My doc says that as long as your testosterone levels are in the

normal range this won't happen. Anyone hear about gyno happening even though

test levels were in normal range? (My doc didn't think it was necessary but I

am going to get my estradiol checked with my test when I come back for

re-visits)

2. Speaking of which, whenever you read about the side effects of testosterone

such as: acne, baldness, testicular shrinkage, trouble sleeping, ect… Why would

any of that happen if you are able to attain a normal level of test? What is

the difference between someone with a natural level of 500 and someone on TRT

with a level of 500? Why would the person on TRT have the extra side effects

with the same level of Test, for example?

3. For those who are taking bi-weekly injections: What is the ride like? Do

you feel like it's too much in the first day and then feel like crap on the 14th

day? Or can you really tell a difference?

Thanks for the replies!!!
