Back to shots

[Guest guest]

I posted a few months ago, but a summary of my situation is as follow:

After getting lab results my Dr. recommended Androgel. I tried it up to maximum

dosage but skin did not absorb it. Then Dr. recommended 200mg every two weeks

and Testopel pellets, I did 2 shots of 200 mg within 4 weeks and then got the

Testopel pellets (10 pellets) since my insurance paid for everything. As Phil

mentioned in my previous post if you do not get enough pellets is not worth it,

that is what happened to me. Since my doctor would not go more than 10 pellets I

started last Monday to do my own shots (25mg every 3 days using a 25g 1/2 "

syringe on Thigh), I am also taking DIM every afternoon.

I would like to get some feedback. The history of labs are below, also it is

worth to mention that the pellets are still dissolving but as you could see in

the lab results below it is not enough (no major difference from baseline). This

is how i feel right now after doing my own shots:

- I am taking a long time to fall asleep, it feels like when you take sinus

medication. I am trying to figure out if is due to too having the pellets and

taking shots or because I was in Singapore two weeks ago and I am still

adjusting to jetlag (Any comments?)

- My libido has not improve yet maybe because I have not achieved good levels

yet.

- Morning wood is infrequent and not as strong

I would appreciate your feedback
