[Athens-M50]

Posted in General...then found this area of the Forum....this is where it needs to be.



ok guy....I have questions.....

Background:

43 yrs old
married 24 yrs
run 15 to 20 miles a week
carrying too much weight 225 5'7 9 ......stocky
felt ok...not the best.....been dragging.....NO problems in the bedroom.


I went to Dr. 3 months ago....had not had blood work done in long time....so she did blood work...here are my numbers from 3 months ago.

Testosterone Free was 9.8
Testosterone total was 307

she but me on Testim one tube a day.

Yesterday I went to Dr to get results from recent blook work.....


Testosterone Free was 3
Testosterone total was 80

WENT DOWN!!!!!!!!...CRAZY!

so she but me on 1 shot a week of cypionate 1ML.....said that was the only way that I can get my levels up

she said that was the lowest that she had ever saw!!.....said it was the levels of a 70yrs man!

so the question is....anyone been down this path?.....will I feel better?

I hit the weights, back in the day, but have only been running the last few years.....is this going to make a difference that I should start hitting the weights again?????


Thanks for any input!

I'm no expert as I'm pretty new to this myself, but I have read tons on it. My guess would be the Testim was just enough to shut your natural production down but not enough to boost your levels. Everything I have read seems to indicate shots are the way to go. Are you doing 1ml of 100mg/ml or 200mg/ml? I asume with weekly injections she is letting you do he shots at home? I just switched from gel to shots and did my first injection Thursday.

Hey Bowhuntr,

I am doing 1ML..and yes....I am doing my own shots at home.....I started Thursday as well!....we will have to keep up with each other......I am also doing b12 shots....1ML every other week....and taking Vit. D3 2000 a day.

I went to the Dr. taking nothing and came out with about 5 perscriptions.....about 3 months ago.

are you currently lifting weights?....not sure , as low as my numbers are, if it would do much good.....

what was you numbers?????

I have been running 200mg of Test c for a couple years. My test level stays in the low 1000s. So as long as you dont have some other problem you should feel great and gain muscle in the gym. Give it 4-5 weeks before the anabolic affects kick in fully.

I was at 335 a year and a half ago and my doc at the time wouldn't treat me. I found a new doc this past August and tested at 289 and he has agreed to treat me, but I'm not fully convinced its going to work out yet. He mentioned he would like to see me in the 400's and when I mentioned E2 testing he said he doesnt because "what are you going to do about it anyway". So needless to say I am not overly optimistic yet that this will work out but if not I know IMT is only a phone call away.

As for lifting, I have been trying to do P90X and Insanity workouts but its been hard to keep up with my energy levels. I'm hoping that will change. I'm 46 and 6'1" @ 265# so I have some work to do to say the least.

so the reading I have done....show using 2 needles....I only have the one...25G....do I need to get more 18G needles?

Is it just how slow it comes out???......can you just buy the needle end?

 

[bowhuntr09]

Yes, a larger needle helps the draw, but by switching you also have a fresh sharper needle than the one that just went in the vial. I have 21g and 23g, was supposed to have 25g but they were out.

 

[Athens-M50]

can you just buy the ends?

 

[tenn2525]

Yes, you can just but the needles, Just search online, They are pretty cheap, I bout a box of 100 syringes with a 22g needle to draw with then a box of 25g 1 inch needles to inject with.

 

[Ythrashin]

Good job guys.

 

[couch]

Amazon sells syringes. (seriously, that's not posting a source, right?)

Wow! I thought my initial 120ng/dl of testosterone (total) was low. Keep up with the testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), and read up as much as you can on it. It truly is a life changer.
