New member. starting TRT tomorrow

[Nutpuncher]

Hello folks at The Iron Den,

I am happy to finally joined after spying for many months. I have been lifting for years and have been suffering from undiagnosed low Testosterone for perhaps decades. Couple weeks got tested because started doing research based on my symptoms which were same as low T symptoms and fact that I have not put on much of any muscles but I work out like a beast and diet on point. My T came back at 145 w/ free T at 1.3.

I am here to read, listen, ask questions, learn and share my experiences.

Thank you for having this kick ass forum available.

Sincerely,

NutPuncher.

Welcome Nutpuncher. Lown t is a b****. You will be feeling better in no time.

My T came back at 145 w/ free T at 1.3.

Those numbers certainly should qualify you for a prescription. Let us know what the doc prescribes. My guess is he'll start you out at 100mg test cyp every 7 or 10 days for a month or two and then get some blood work done to see where you're at. He can then make adjustments up or down from there.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

I had my 1st appointment yesterday with urologist. According to my urologist, I have to do 2 more bloodwork at 8am 1 week apart to qualify for insurance to cover and to qualify for TRT. And that he usually have long term TRT patients on pellets. For injections, patients has to come to office to get done, but he is willing to let me learn. I asked and he said he wants patients to be between 600-800 level.

Overall, I get the feeling that he is SOP kind of doc if that makes sense. He said the reason why have to inject at his office is because Test is a controlled substance....so is vicodin..... Also he is pushing clomid first because he said that he has seen levels up as high as 800.

I don't want to find another doc because it will take many weeks to get in, but I may have to.....

I was hoping that I would have gotten my 1st shot at his office yesterday, but I was very wrong.

Have you used steroids in the past? That's a very low testosterone.

If he's wanting you in the 600-800 range, that's pretty good. I've heard of some docs saying that levels under 400 are still OK.
