DIY TRT vs. Clinics vs. Hunting For a Doctor Who Cares??

[IHI]

Don't take higher test doses to jump start the process. That is actually counterproductive in that is spikes your estradiol and makes you feel worse. You are looking for nice even levels.

Good luck! You should be feeling a lite better in 3-4 weeks.

I believe he's getting the male gruff gruff, if a little is good, a lot is great....which we all know is the exact opposite regarding TRT. Hopefully he can understand and "contain" himself to do this correctly otherwise he's going to be on a never ending quest to feel better.

Kinda like getting pussy, when you get so much your dick starts scabbing up from so much friction action taking place so many times a day, everyday...you learn you can over indulge LOL. Same goes for this, less graphic obviously but Rex, honestly, like Megatron just said, trying to do more to jumpstart will only make things worse, I haven't experienced sky high or sewer low E2 levels and from everything I've heard I'd never want to either, bad shit brother....MODERATION IS KEY. This isn't an overnight change, accept that fact and you can move forward intelligently

Regarding using a multi-use vial past 28 days: it's going to be fine until it's not - meaning that the possibility of bacterial growth getting a foothold and you getting an infection increases with the passage of time and air exchange with the vial.

I personally am quite frugal and have no problem using a multi-use vial that I have been careful with past the 28 day point. But I strongly feel that it should be a risk that I voluntarily assume - the concept of a physician or pharmacist forcing me to use a vial past 30 days in violation of USP guidelines is, in my view, medically indefensible.

As I have posted before, this is not a conspiracy to make you waste medication. Self-injection is the exception not the norm - most multiple use vials are used in clinical settings on multiple patients.

Guys, thank you so much for the incredible insight and advice! Unfortunately, I did a .75ml shot right when I got home - before I even got to posting. So I shot myself in the foot there... But going forward I will be doing a Tuesday PM .25ml (50mg) shot and a Saturday AM .25ml (50mg) shot going forward.

My doctor still has it written 100mg every other week but I'll call and make sure he is okay with me doing it every week.

Exhausted guys, hopefully energy levels will increase as my test gets into the triple digits lol!


Thank you again. Will post updates!

You will be fine. 75mg is not the end of the world or anything. Besides, he wanted you to inject 100mg for your very first shot.

I did .75ml and the vial is 200mg/ml - so 150mg. Should I do my regular dose .25ml (50mg) on Tuesday like I have planned or should I wait a little longer to let this first dose wear off a bit more?



Thx,

Rex

I would skip one injection and then get back on the program.

I was about to "cash in the chips" before I was finally told my T was at 150. Doc told me my T was low and said he would give me T if I wanted. SO I said yes and he gave me a 200mg shot to get things working, gave me one pump of Rub On T a day and come back in 6 weeks and recheck. 6 weeks later I was lower yet.... so he bumps it up to 2 pumps a day and said if that doesn't work he would have to try a 200mg shot every 6 weeks!! Need I go on about his knowledge of T replacement? And then the Insurance wants to play games with not covering the cream!! SO it is to the black market you go to find answers for yourself! For me - it appears about 50 to 75 mg twice a week about covers it.
