Hello new to site and having issues. I have been seeing urologist for TRT for one year now. He stated me on 1ml Test Cyp every other week. After a many weeks I complained I would feel better the first week then go down hill. He told me to split the does in half and do weekly. This did not seem to help my symptoms at all. After six months did blood work (test, red blood count and psa) the lab did not process the Test so dr did not get my Test levels and he was fine with that (red flag #1). I told him I'm not feeling any better than I was before and he reluctantly let me go up from .5ml to .7ml weely. Six months later not really feeling any better do blood work this time the lab actually gives us the Test levels and it's 194. Dr says well if you had your blood drawn closed to time for your next dose it will drop like that (red flag #2) he went on to say he sees no reason to make any changes to my dose (red flag #3) and continues with saying that the dose I'm on is a large dose (red flag #4).
I make an appointment with my general practitioner with the intention of getting a referral to an Endo. I find out during appointment that my gp actually does TRT and he suggest we check my estro levels which they did. But my gp also seems to think that .7ml a week is a significant size dose? Someone from his office calls me and tells me my labs came back and everything was normal and that's it, no the dr thinks this or that. So now I guess I need to call the dr and ask for that referral to an Endo.
