But don't be surprised if your nuts shrink significantly over the course of the next two months; after one month I noticed they were half of their natural size. Unfortunately I was one of the (seemingly rare) unlucky ones that experience terrible aching pain when the testicles are shut down and atrophying. But yeah unless you experience this pain, you shouldn't worry too much if you have to wait a couple months before implementing HCG.
I've been having a strange feeling in my nuts, they haven't shrunk (still quite large) but I'm not sure if it is placebo or a result of my first injection. Either way, I'm confident if I brought up hCG he wouldn't mind. He'll probably counter argue with "Most people only take hCG when they are in need of conceiving a child" or something similar. I'm sure he'd let me try it. This is something I'll bring up when I phone him this Monday.
Hopefully this is all sorted out with the right treatment. No way should a 18 year old have to live hypogonadal.
That's an understatement, I'm pretty sure it's been the cause of a lot of negativity in my high school years.
*would also like to mention that I cannot create or send private messages for some reason
Doesn't this doc have nurses in his office ?
He should have done the first shot at least in his office, so you could see it as well.
Just make sure you don't hit a nerve while injecting....
I don't know how lean you are but use 1" for delts and 1.5" for Glutes...
put it in till the whole needle disappears and press slowly as to not make a lump by injecting too fast.
He simulated it with an insulin needle, he told me to wait until this Monday so I cannot put blame on him - I was the one who rushed to get my first injection without assistance (I think I did great though).
Some people who have been shut down either genetically or due to chemical abuse have used clomid for a few months and been functioning with normal levels even after clomid treatment. I would recommend reading into this approach. If you really are looking to dip your test levels, alcohol lowers testosterone for a 24 hour period...Hence I do not drink unless I am on cycle, and even then very little. Read up on alcohols effect on test... guess you could drink the night before, not sleep, and bottom out.
The way I see it, my FSH and LH were already quite low so I don't see why I couldn't use clomid later on if that was an option. I just want to make sure testosterone is the thing that has been making me feel awful you know? Aren't there people who can function on 300ng/dl and notice no problems? Either way, only time will tell.
You can get estragen problems on TRT doses of testosterone. Your doctor is misinformed. It is an imperative that you monitor your estradiol levels while on TRT.
Yeah I had a feeling. I really do not think my doctor will have a problem testing for it. He knows it can be a problem but didn't think it'd be a problem for me for 1 reason or another.
This Monday, I will call him and let him know.
Also, he's only testing bio-T, should I ask for serum as well?
All together, is CBC with differentials, TSH, T4 free, bio T, PSA.
Another question; I'm going to inject into quads with Tuesday, I only have a 1.5 inch needle though, should I go all the way in or just go like an inch in? I'm assuming like half.
