Hello all, this will be my first post. Im having a hard time making a decision. Im 36, 208 pounds, 17% bf and 6" tall and been having issues that seem to mimic low test levels so I went to my Doc and told him my symptoms. I think I have been dealing with hormone issues since my late teen years but just now decided to address them. He tested me and everything came back clean except for my Vitamin D and my test levels. My D was at 21 and my test was at 229 and this was tested on a day I felt good. He has sent me some 1000IU D tablets and some test cyp in the mail. Once I receive the test I am to report to him with my test for a 400mg injection monthly. This doesnt seem right from what im reading I should be getting weekly or bi-weekly injections. There was not any attempt to get my natural production up. I have never been on any strong steroids before. I did a 6 week cycle of Epistane a few years back in 2009 trying to loose some fat without burning my muscles up which happens every time I try to loose fat. Would this have caused this low test issue? I used PCT and all. I didnt get much gain at all from it but a little horny for about a week and maybe a little fat loss but not enough to really notice. I did not test my levels back then. I have always suspected my test to be high since I have no problem with keeping weight on but also suspected to have high estrogen levels as well and that keeping me from gaining any extra other than what I have. This is all speculation though since this is the first time I have been tested. On one hand im excited to see what this may do for me and my health since I have such a hard time gaining muscle like never in all of my years of working out off and on I have not gained a whole lot. I also have had a lot of health issues in the past that seem to link to low T. When I increase my calories and I do count when im on a diet to include the ratios of each I tend to gain fat not much muscle. On the other hand I wish I could just get a natural normal test production. Should I take the TRT or refuse. He has not discussed anything with me yet but hasnt mentioned anything else other than test, no AI no HCG or anything. This also makes me afraid he doesnt quite know what hes doing or maybe he will discuss this with me when I go to get my first injection. Im very confused right now. Should I accept the injections or should I request something else? By the way, im dealing with the VA here.
