I am 39 years old. I went to the Dr. due to excessive fatigue and low libido. I've listed below a breif outline of my TRT history. What do you guys think? To me this doesn't seem like enough testosterone, too long between shots, and I should also be taking HCG with the treatments?
11/07/12 - my blood work showed my Blood Testosterone @ 188, and free at 6.7. The Dr. put me on 1ML injections of Cypionate 200MG once a month. Other blood results were normal. I was also diagnosed with sleep apnea around the same time and began using a breathing machine at night.
10/13/2013 - No change in fatigue and libido, except what might also be contributed to the apnea treatment. My blood results showed Testosterone @ 94 and free @ 9.4. This was taken 3wks after injection. I was also experiencing testicle atrophy and aches by this time. I discused this with the Dr. and he talked to me about it, but offered no solutions for this. He told me I could go to injections every 3 weeks if I wished, which I did. Of course he did not have the blood results mentioned above available yet at the time of the discussion.
After this appointment, I took myself off of TRT. Testicles returned almost to normal size and aches stopped. After about 3 months, I began the shots again. I've experienced some atrophy but slower and less achy than before.
10/09/14 - No change in fatigue and labido. During this visit I requested he refer me to an endoncrinologists and he said I should really see a urologists since my blood work showed normal funtions. He also discussed having the pellet implants or some other options. Blood results taken 2wks after injections came back with testosterone @ 222and Free @ 6.9. He called me in a new prescribtion of taking 1.5ml every three weeks which I'll begin in 4 days.
Any comments, help, or opinions appreciated.
