Hello all this is my newbie post half to say hi and half asking advice.
30yr old 180lbs, 5’11”. Have always been active, currently go to gym 5-6 days a week, no less than 3 days if lifting and 2 days of light cardio (45ish min on whatever cardio machine i am in the mood for that day)
1 and a half weeks ago, got my T level checked at a wellness checkup came in at a total of 271, a 2nd test a week later came back at 320. Was advised by Dr. that all other levels are perfect, and gave me the choice to start trt.
Being that the last few years i have always been tired throughout the day no matter the amount if sleep i got, meaningless things annoy me much more than they should and i am very irritable of late and i seem to not lose weight at all past a certain point, i decided to give it a try.
Dr. Currently has me on 200mg Test Cyp. Every other week. And plans to have a blood draw just prior to my 3rd injection to see where things are and tweak dose/frequency then. My first injection was 2 days ago on Wed. March 21st. I am just learning about everything since Monday, i have been searching the forum for info, most of my searches result in information that i can not keep up with, though i did see the consensus of it is best to inject 1-2x per week.
Are there any concerns i should have besides asking to change injections to weekly ? Should i get copies of all my blood-work even though i have no idea what most of it means? Would my body composition be improved from this treatment? (That would be a bonus, I primarily just want to have mental/emotional/drive restored)
Thanks for any and all advice or criticism of my ignorance, gotta start somewhere lol, perhaps one day if i learn enough i may partake in the other forums AM has to offer.
