OK Guys here's the deal. Finally got my Dr. after almost 2 yrs. to start me on TRT. I am 49 yrs. old and my test levels have ranged from a high of 340 to a low of 244, most have been in the 260's. My primary Dr. sent me to 2 endo's which were a total waste of time. The last endo said even if he did treat me it would be to get me in the 350 range. My Dr. started me on 100mg. test cyp. every 2 weeks, I told him that I didn't think that it would be enough and he said that we want to start out slow. Is this really enough to help me? or should it be 100mg. each week.

When it comes to your own $$ and your own health, you will be well advised to take it into your own hands.
You have no choice, you must be the General Contractor and you must be making decisions who will do what to your health.
You must get educated in both areas.
Mistakes that you will make on the way do not compare to mistakes that will be made by you own "trusty" doctor.
The more titles your doctor have behind his name the more costly those mistakes will be.

Spend at least 2 weeks at preliminary education.
