Being at 135 and getting a jolt Im sure I will feel shitty for a few days. Hopefully he allows me to advise on treatment. If he tries to give me gels or pellets I'll see someone else

Whats your SHBG?
you listed nothing above except TT.
I assume you are carrying a few extra pounds being hypogonadal for a long time.
I advise to take things slow and not inject big amounts or once weekly. Your Estradiol will climb pretty quick. Keep off the HCG till you get dialed in as the HCG will raise more estradiol as well.

Good info. I don't think it applies to him if his low t center is like the one my buddy goes to. He has to go in once a week for a shot, pay the $25 visit, and then also pay his copay for blood work every so often.
I know all insurances are different, but if I get the generic test cyp, my copay at the pharmacy is $7 for a 10ml bottle. If they give me the pfizer brand, it's $35.

If he's going to a low t center that's like the one my buddy goes to, he will have to go there weekly for his injections and pay their fee. My buddy pays 25 plus labs every so often.
If he wants to self inject, he will probably need to find a doc who will prescribe it. I would think it might be easier to start with the low t center and get things figured out, then go to his normal doc and see if he can get the prescription that way.

he really didnt say. I explained I started gaining weight really fast about 3 years ago. I told him I really didnt notice a huge change in diet, but maybe I was wrong. He told me my levels didnt effect that as much as I thought it did, that being said, I am 135. lol
I will ask for my lab results tomorrow when I go in for my second test. I was 285 when I went on a ten week prop cycle a year or so ago. I went down to 250 and was at 23%, and was benching 400 off the couch in 2 months. I felt incredible and when it ended I came right back. I have tried to get in the gym and I got nothing for it. I feel like I weigh now.
I made some changes today. I bought some healthy food, and started logging. Ill get in the gym probably tomorrow for the first time in a few months. Hopefully after my first treatment. I am a little concerned that maybe my test was just low from drinking Sunday, but I know something is up. I will update the post with my second test results, and what he is talking about for treatment. I can tell by the procedure that this place is extremely cautious about how they do things. Every other place in town I would have got a shot the same day.
I will have to wait and see.

I would def stop the drinking as that will raise estradiol and it's not really a good mix with TRT since your goal is to drop weight and get lean. If you get lean you will have less problems with estradiol.

The center he goes to checks his levels and seems to change his dose based on the results. But he quit going and got some gear from a friend for a while. When he went back to the center, they said, we'll give you a boost and gave him 200mg without checking anything. It kinda seems to me like a pay them and they'll do almost anything you ask them to kinda thing.

Whoops sorry they are upside down..
This site will be a life saver. Beginning Jan. 2015 my insurance wanted pre-certification submitted by the Doctor, and explanation as to why depot testosterone was preferred over my insurance's new preferred testosterone, which is Testim. Testim is a gel, bleh. Now I can get prices that are a couple dollars cheaper than my generic co-pay with this site, and I don't have to deal with my insurance for the prescription.

Didn't see LH, Total Testosterone, TSH, or estradiol in there. Can you post those?
You glucose was pretty high. Were you fasting or do you have diabetes?
You liver values looked high. Are you drinking too much alcohol or using liver-toxic drugs?

His SHBG is way too low, something is def up with the liver. Maybe non alcoholic fatty liver.

Got my first shot yesterday and I already feel a hundred times better. I have even been to the gym twice since then. Doc gave me a 200/ml cyp but I think he is going to keep me on 160/ml a week after this one. I will of course petition after 5 weeks.
