Injectable T question

[Guest guest]

I will be getting blood drawn Monday AM to see if this Clomid stuff did

anything. Thought I was feeling something the other day but I guess not as it

left and I still feel the same,......yes, I know only the blood test will show

for sure.

Anyway I am planning ahead with the assumption I will be starting TRT very soon.

I know Phil says to try the compounded gel first, and I surely will. First on

the gel,.....has anyone heard of it being compounded with chrysin in the mix?

This is what my doc does I believe.

Second, if I end up on shots, how many different forms of testosterone are

there, and what should I be getting? I hear you guys mainly talk about testC

mostly.

Any idea of how much I should take, and how often?

I am currently in the low 200's for total T, and an SHBG of 12. I am only trying

to get in the 600 to 700 range, not 1100 like my doc keeps himself.

Been doing some reading and some of the potential adverse effects are surprising

to me.

I read about water retention, along with sodium, potassium, chloride, and

calcium retention. Also anxiety and depression is mentioned, as well as

increased lipid levels, along with gynecomastia. Also read that it may increase

blood pressure and heart rate as well. I am mainly concerned about the BP and

heart rate issue as I already have problems there. Funny thing is my

Cardiologist wants me on this stuff, or for it to be straightened out ASAP.

What the heck!

I thought it was good for your heart and your lipid profile, plus how can a male

hormone cause 'man boobs' unless it is through conversion to E2?

Last question,.....regardless of gel or shots, what dosage of HCG is used to try

and avoid complete shutdown of the testes and preventing atrophy?

I realize I am asking questions that have most likely been answered hundreds of

times, but I really need to apply things to my individual situation.

Thanks again as usual!
