Low free test was the reason I went on TRT at the recommendation of my endo. Last total free was about 700 but I am due for labs. I was on the once every other week dose but thanks to you guys on here I'm doing 2x a week and feel awesome, relatively speaking.

TRT is doing its thing and I feel so much better. Loving the sex drive and now wife and I are talking vasectomy. I absolutely want to be safe because at 45 with 2 kids we don't want anymore. Doesn't TRT decrease sperm count? Guess my questions is do I need a vasectomy to be absolutely safe...

Just a brief update. Been pinning ever 3.5 days alternating between L&R deltoid, no bid deal at all. .25ml each time for a total of 100mg/wk and ultimately the docs goal of 200mg every 2 weeks. I feel better, no major body changes due to lack of exercise. Sex drive is literally like I am a...

3rd pin today with new 25ga x 1" in deltoid, no issues at all. Supplies arrived the other day and I didn't notice the order was for 100 25ga x 1" slip tip. Also have 20ga to draw up in slip tip. Thought for sure I ordered the luer lock. Oh well.... I also notice a dull ache in my testes...

I get what the above poster is saying and I did think about this for a long time before committing to TRT. Damn, I mean this is something that is a life long treatment, pinning 2x a week, frequent labs, shrinkage, hair loss....all serious things to consider. But, what's the alternative...

Can't believe how excited I am to be on the path to be feeling good again. Just did my second pin and it took all of 30 seconds. First time was a good 15 minutes, drawing up, staring at my delt for a while, looking at the needle, etc. Tonight was a completely different story and actually...

You are correct my mistake in typing. It's 1ml (200mg/mL) every other week for a total of 200 per every other week. That would work out to .25ml (50mg) every 3.5 days.

Ha, must have looked at the needle for a minute before my first pin. Only 2.5ml (50) Test Cyn and injected into left deltoid. Really was a very easy, simple and pain free process. Instead of the 200 ever other week I am going to do 50 every 3.5 days. 25ga 5/8 I think works fine for my...

Picked up the prescription this evening. A little disappointed so far from the research I've been doing. 2,000 mg/mL (200 mg/mL) so far so good, BD 1 ml TB syringe 25G x 5/8. That size needle is recommended for adolescents and adults weighing 130lbs or less. Being 43, 195lbs and 5'9" this...

OK, just a few more questions before heading to bed. 1. Should I call my endo/primary and ask for more labs to be drawn? If so what labs would you recommend I have run? 2. With my recommended dosage of 200mg of test cypionate every other week, I would like to change that to at least weekly...

My next appt with my endo is in 5 months. Just looked at the labs he would like to have drawn before my appt....Testosterone-total, TSH, CBC and PSA. Seems like I am going to have a lot of work to do in order to understand this and get the correct treatment. Is this something I have to do...

Thanks for the reminder. I read that about 2-3x and it's a great reference. Guess my question is...is it OK to immediately alter the protocol the endo gave me? From my very limited knowledge as soon as he said inject every 2 weeks I knew that wasn't the most up to date info and would cause...

Have had low T for years and doc had me on Androgel. Really didn't notice much of a difference and it was quite messy with 4 pumps per shoulder. Had appt with endo today and discussed alternatives and I asked about injectables. Had a really brief conversation about it and how ideally the...
