Would greatly appreaciate some advice on new TRT journey

[biggjd69]

So I workout 6 days a week. twice day. I have big energy. The libido comes and goes. No other health issues except Mild Sleep apnea. I am 44, 6'1, 216, 18 to 20% bodyfat. Decided to go to the doc and see if I had low T. I am only going to list pertinent stuff because the CBC, PSA, and Cholesterol was all good:

Total Test: 316ng/dL (348-1197)
Testosterone Free: 7.1pg?mL (6.8-21.5)

FH 2.8Miu/mL
LH 5.1 mIU/mL

Prolactin 19.2ng/mL (0-16.0)

Thyroid Panel
Thyrotropin 3rd Generation 2.640mIU/L (0.465-4.68)
Thyroxine 7.6mcg/dL (5.53-11.0)
Triiodothyronine Uptake 37.7 %uptake (23.5-40.5)
Thyroxine Free Index 2.87mcg/dL (1.65-3.89)

Doctor prescribed me Forstesa and gave me Test Cyp 6 vials at 200mg. He obviously doesn't know what he is doing. I requested to be seen by an Endo. Appointment is 3 months away. What should I do in the mean time. Your thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Why do you say your doctor doesn't know what he is doing?

Often the best situation is to have enough knowledge to manage your own treatment combined with a cooperative doctor. Looks like yours prescribed you a bunch of stuff off the bat, so he might be cooperative even if he isn't that well versed in TRT.
The Endo might know more but be willing to help less.

You can learn what you need to know here, do a lot of reading, start with the TRT stickies...

What protocol were you pit on? Have you had an MRI to look into your high Prolactin?

Why do you think your doc doesn't know what he is doing?

I just thought it was kinda strange for him to give me fortesta and test cyp. But in any case he put me on fortesta and then come back in 6 weeks for blood work. If the prolactin is still high then he will schedule an MRI

Basically he gave you an extra goodie to stick with him as a doctor. He's a keeper. Can you think of reasons for your elevated prolactin

 

[Therealkozmo]

Really he didn't test your estro and sleep apnea can cause low t. So looks like he wants to shrink your balls for his gain
