  1. 36, TT 274, ~400 2 years ago, started TRT 4 weeks ago

    Been a while since I posted here. Some new information concerning my case for those that may be interested. Still looking for a decent endocrinologist since mine decided to retire Dec 31st, but between me convincing my primary doc that we should try Clomid and his research, he finally decided...

  2. 36, TT 274, ~400 2 years ago, started TRT 4 weeks ago

    Just another point of data for folks who may happen to be reading this, and dealing with their own issues and looking for their own explanations. Had an MRI Wednesday. Got the call this afternoon... 4x4x3 mm adenoma. Provides a bit of explanation for my symptoms. Hasn't really sunk in yet...

  3. 36, TT 274, ~400 2 years ago, started TRT 4 weeks ago

    Another point of data... I provide this just so that there are more data points in the forum for folks to read & compare to. Sep 7th, more lab work. Free testosterone: 79.9 Total Testosterone: 329 FSH: 3.1 LH: 2.9 Since I've never had my free testosterone checked before, I'm not sure how...

  4. My LH, FSH, prolactin, and estrogen results

    EXACTLY what I told my primary doc and urologist. They looked at me like I was crazy... Here they are frying my testicles when the problem is in my head! Anyway, I wish you luck. I think I have an endo that will work with me pretty well. He at least has patients on clomid and HCG, as...

    Well folks, been a while since I updated this post. This "rabbit hole" sure is a deep one, don't know if I'll find the exit. But anyway, I have an endo appointment coming up end of this month and I have been off of testosterone for ~7 weeks. My primary doc and I decided to do lab work at 2...

  6. 36, TT 274, ~400 2 years ago, started TRT 4 weeks ago

    Yeah, I was feeling like that too... I'm now on a 150/wk regimen for the next 8 weeks with more appointments and discussions.

  7. 36, TT 274, ~400 2 years ago, started TRT 4 weeks ago

    Yeah... None think it is possible to self inject properly. Both are willing to entertain the idea of spouse/neighbor/friend injecting for me, but if they are not an RN or EMT, they have to train. Problem is, I am a single guy and don't really have any one convenient that could do it. So, for...

  8. Good doc in LA/MS/AL or nearby area. Or, even in Los Angeles, Tucson areas

    Nope... not a bit. I'm still seeing my primary doc for this for now, with input provided by a urologist from ~10 days ago. He's pretty clueless, but interested. I've given him some copies of studies which he is going to read. I'd even be willing to go to Los Angeles as I do some work out...

  9. 36, TT 274, ~400 2 years ago, started TRT 4 weeks ago

    Haven't found a doc that will go along with the self injection route... If I could, I would have already. yes... estradiol was taken at the same time as the results for test which came in at 204. Thanks for the other suggestions. Anyone have a recommendation on how to find a good doc...

  10. 36, TT 274, ~400 2 years ago, started TRT 4 weeks ago

    Three months to get in to an endo around here... for now, I'm just doing what I can. I mean 200 injection... then 14 days later blood was drawn. I was getting 200 every two weeks and it wasn't cutting it. I hear a lot of guys are happy with 150/wk which is the current plan.

  11. 36, TT 274, ~400 2 years ago, started TRT 4 weeks ago

    And another question... I read that flax seed can have a lowering effect on estrodiol. Anyone else look into that?

  12. 36, TT 274, ~400 2 years ago, started TRT 4 weeks ago

    Also, has anyone here discussed the effect of low zinc on testosterone and sperm production? I have a reference study if it hasn't been discussed here before. Sorry, it's all I can do to read what I have. I'll search in a bit... Anyone try taking zinc? Did it improve things?

  13. 36, TT 274, ~400 2 years ago, started TRT 4 weeks ago

    Well, saw a urologist who claims to have ~500 patients in the area on TRT. I wasn't too impressed with him, but I did find some useful information from him and some directions to go... I told him I was simply fact finding now... and would continue to see my primary doc for TRT while I learn...

  14. 36, TT 274, ~400 2 years ago, started TRT 4 weeks ago

    Nevermind... just googled around for PCT - Post Cycle Therapy. Thanks for the advice. I may think about it. Wish my primary would have told me about the sterility side of things... I mean, a 36 year old with no kids? Did he not think that may be a consideration?

  15. 36, TT 274, ~400 2 years ago, started TRT 4 weeks ago

    Sorry.... not familiar with the abreviation... PCT? yes, it's my PCP, primary care physician that started me on this path. You're right, I knew something was wrong... and when I correlated my last two years with the list of symptoms, I was eager to get my life back on track. But, I'm...

  16. 36, TT 274, ~400 2 years ago, started TRT 4 weeks ago

    Don't get me wrong... I felt great for the four weeks I was getting weekly injections. I'm not so worried about the lag right now, as I think my doctor would work with me on lower dosage but more frequent injections... What bothers me is the thinking that I may have rushed into this, and the...

  17. Good doc in LA/MS/AL or nearby area. Or, even in Los Angeles, Tucson areas

    So, I'm looking for a good doctor. See my other thread... primary doc just diagnosed me with hypogonadism. So, now I'm searching for someone who is more of a specialist, whether it is an endocrinologist, or some other specialty. I live in southeastern Louisiana. I'm willing to drive a ways...

  18. 36, TT 274, ~400 2 years ago, started TRT 4 weeks ago

    Hi All, I know there has probably been numerous threads posted like this... and I just found this forum tonight and have been reading voraciously. However, I figured it couldn't hurt to tell my story and see what people think. I'm not asking for everyone to answer all my questions... but I...
