TRT and my new Endo

[Guest guest]

Well, I was prescribed Testim by my GP, and had went from 124 pre-testim to 488

on 50mg/tube a day. Still felt aweful...

I still didn't know wether I was primary or secondary at this point. When it

came for the results with the GP after blood work and I was told I was at 488

which was good (because it was in the middle) I am like okay, but of course I

was wondering if I could go higher, maybe I would feel somewhat better to be

atleast in the upper 1/3, and he just kinda dodged the question, we talked about

other labs and he sent me on my way.

I made an appointment with an Endo to get a 2nd opinion. I was basically told

that I would need to go off the Testim for 3 months to let my body get back to

what it was normally so he can properly diagnose me, and then when he got the

tests back in 3 months, I needed to decide on if I wanted to have HCG shots when

it was time to go back on the testosterone .

I've only been on the testim for a month and a half, does it really take that

long for me to have to wait that long?

My endo was very upfront, blunt, and honest, which I do like, he even apologized

towards the end saying that he was sorry if he hurt my feelings, that he was

just " talking to me like a man " . Which I wasnt upset about, I'm guessing it was

more in regards to me going infertile and if I cared to have kids in the future.

Is there anything else I need to bring up to the endo besides just about my

results and hcg/testosterone. He was leaning more towards the shots which I am

okay with. He mentioned that I would be doing 1 shot every 2 weeks, which I

talked him into letting me do 2 shots a week so its less spikey, and he agreed

that it would be fine to do it that way.

Thanks for the help!
