Or listening to transdermal reps.
LOL, yeah. I didn't say I really believed him. i'll give it a try for a bit, and if it doesn't work out, find someone else.

I like turtles.
Stick with it man, it is TOTALLY worth it in the end!
Does not seem to be. I am just finishing two months so I suppose it is all getting equalized.
Today is day 7 and I feel great. Had an amazing workout. In two months have lost abdominal tire, added seven pounds of quality weight working out from 2-4x pwk. Sex drive back. Mental acuity sharper. Energy great. My latest tests indicate that there is bone growth activity which is important for me as I have osteopenia for having used the "other" steroid. My body loves this stuff.
I think that all PCP's should test their male patients for low T. I can not imagine the number of guys who are on anti-depressant or anti-anxiety agents for what may be a hormonal issue. I am lucky to have docs who trust me and agreed to the T test. Then found a urologist who had no issue prescribing, or working with me on the dose. Insurance picks up the $28 or so for the shots. Have to say that I have had it pretty easy. Must be more rugged having to do this without the support of a doc.

38 years old, got tested last month and had total T @ 198. Three days ago, I started Axiron 60mg (two pumps per day). I was told from Dr Miner, he runs the Men's Health Center in Providence RI, that he gets an 80% success rate with transdermals. The other 20% come back and get shots or pellets. Do those rates sound about right?
Test Serum = 90 ng/dl
Started Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) 3 wks ago with 120mg a week of T prop, injection of 60mg 2/wk. Not the best results so far,... protocol changing this week to EOD at 50mg. Also, starting HGH at 1IU daily.
Arimidex at .25 mg with injections.
Respect,

WTF? How do you jump from 120mg/week to 350mg/week? That doesn't sound like a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose anymore. Are you following a doctor's guidance or blasting on your own? 3 weeks in isn't enough time to gauge how your testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is working.

broken into 2 pins per week.
I should probably clarify for you Megatron28,
I'm not jumping to 350, but I am jumping to 150mg. I was taking 60mg twice a week. Now I'm taking EOD 40-50 mg per pin, not to exceed 150mg weekly....does that make sense?
I'm utilizing Test Prop which has around a 48 hr release...the ester in Prop releases test much faster than eth or cypn., make sense?
I'm leverage my Doc for blood work only. My stinkin Insurance doesn't cover testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) unless it's androgel which isn't near as good as IM (from what I understand). It's less expensive for me to utilized an underground provider for Test.
From my understanding a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose is relevant to whatever it takes to get you within normal ranges.
Respect,

Your new dose might work fine for you, 43mg per eod pin should get you close.
I'd want to switch from prop to cyp though so I could space out my pins more plus I heard prop pins can be more painful than cyp.
First couple of weeks was sore after the prop injections, but no problem now.
