newbie that just found out he has low t...

New to the forum as i recently found out that i have low t and have a question.

Doc did initial test of testosterone, 259 ng/ml, and PSA, .3 ng/ml. 2nd test were testosterone, 228, and PSA, .3. Those are the only results he sent me.

He started me on 100 test cyp every other week and said he may go to every week depending on results from next test results. Have been on it for 4 weeks and I dont feel any different and go back for 3rd round of test next week.

I have been reading that people may need other things than just Test Cyp alone to get back to feeling normal. Question is, What all test should i have him do to make sure that everything is covered?

Thank you all for any help.

Search this forum for info about the every other week routine. You'll want to inject every week. If your doctor isn't fammiliar w/ Aromatase inhibitor (AI) or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) use w/ testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) find another. Self educate no matter what. You will need to know more than your doctor. Try 100 mg per week for a few weeks and see how you feel and get some test results. Patience is key with trt.

100mg every other week is not enough. Im on 100 every week. Now for the use of AI's or anti estrogen, that seems to go either way. Some people need some dont. But the best thing as mentioned above is ask your doc and get a blood work to see if you need it.

Ugh! Doctors!!! When they dont know shit about something why cant they refer you to someone who does? Frustrating!
