Testosterone Therapy

IIRC, normal range is 270-1070 no/dL. All the docs I’ve talked to will not prescribe any meds till <300.

My doc wants to get me to ~900-1000.

So how do these Dr.'s consider what is normal for one person? Of course my PCP doesn't want to touch it, but also thinks that 388 is in the norm since it is in the range. Wonder what a 27 year old levels should be at.

Also, has anybody's PCP said to stop drinking and may be the cause of my Low T.

Find a doc who is willing to treat the symptoms. Having a T-level within the normal range means that you have a T-level somewhere between an 18 and 64 year old. Being below 400-500 at 27 is not normal. I was in your exact situation (30 years old, “normal” labs, but I was having a horrible time with the symptoms of low-T).

I don’t think many PCPs are willing to touch it if it’s not clear-cut and by-the-book. Look for an andrology subspecialist (usually a urologist or possibly an endocrinologist).

Alright fellas, school me on the Pellets. I am doing injections 1/wk but if I can get away from that for a bit I wouldn't mind. My follow up is coming soon. Want to discuss with the Doc and have some first hand feedback in my pocket.

Many thanks.

I have been getting the pellets twice a year for the last 5 years.
I am very happy with them

@27 i would not get on it. hair loss, will likely stop producing on your own, chances of children dwindle.

Been on it for a little over two months now. Just had my blood checked. PSA normal and hemoglobin normal.

I was doing 1ml every other week and swinging like many others here. My peak was 600. He put me on 1ml every week. Blood check again in 6 months.

I just had a new experience. I did my shot in the same area. It hurt like hell! I checked to make sure I wasn't in a vein got an air bubble as usual, injected myself, and when I pulled out the needle blood started spewing out of leg. Not just dripping, spewing about 6 " high and all over the floor. Anyone else experience this? Why did it happen?

Yes, plenty. You hit a vein, and likely went through it. My wife does mine and always aspirates to make sure the tip isn't in a vein. I can usually tell and she knows to duck or she'll get sprayed

Had a good talk with my doc about switching from injections to pellets. Waiting insurance approval. I am one of the 30% who's red blood cells get out of whack and I have to donate regularly. With the pellets, that tends to go away and usually only seen with injections. Hope it goes through to give my leg a break. My wife is too chicken to give the shot in the butt.

I’m a beast on the pellets. No stopping me. It’s insane. Gotta stay hydrated or I will over do it and lock up! [emoji41]

Lol. I'm glad my wife wasn't there when I did. I freaked out a little myself.

Can anyone recommend a doc between kingwood and the med center? I work in the galleria so the med center is close but pcp is in kingwood.

My wife is a LVN. She staryed staying home with the kids and I'm paying her loans so i refuse to do it myself if she can, then i get a little something for my money. But, sometimes i think she treats me like a dart board the way she throws that needle in.
