I plan to discuss injections once I he gets me on the right dose. Using the gel is PIA every morning.

 

[Saltyag2010]

I will ask for the gel. My blood lab work is finally in and my appointment is today.

My doc feels gel is a waste of time. Just throwing that out there

 

[ZX9RCAM]

There are other members here that started with gel & felt the same way as Winchester.

 

[BIGPAPIGREG]

Gotta agree as well Bigun................just go strait to the injections

I'm still not benefiting yet. It's been 3 months of injections.

I know that when I stated the injections I went 6 months, did another blood work up to see where I was at. My doc actually had to cut back on my dosage. May have to do the same thing Skip (except up the dosage), ask yer doctor.

Nothing at all?
What is the dosage, and frequency?
I've not had any amazing weight loss, or energy boost, but
I have been enjoying it.

I was really ready to just give up. I see my doc next friday, I guess I'll just go.....

I'll see what my doctor says. A friend of mine was on the patch. As far as I know it's the worst.

If I have to do injections I don't know if I can do it myself yet.

I thought that the gel would be good because it's every day.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Skip, Have your numbers gone up?

 

[Skip]

Don't know yet. I'm just basing it on "obvious" signs. If you know what I mean.

"Character is doing the right thing even when no one is watching"

 

[ZX9RCAM]

OK.
Are you at least doing 1mm every two weeks?
The doc may need to up it to every week.

 

[Skip]

I'm actually at 1mm every week.

[ZX9RCAM]

Wow, I did that for a while to get my numbers up.
I have backed off a bit.

 

[Saltyag2010]

I'm just fatigued and need to sleep more and do less. That's according to my doctor. Also I have a sinus infection and my testosterone is in the normal levels.

I will ask for the gel. My blood lab work is finally in and my appointment is today.

What was your T number?

 

[Saltyag2010]

What was your T number?

I didn't understand what range they were using. She said 9.25-20 is normal. I was at 10.

Edit- I looked it up. That was my free testosterone level. Average for 25-34 is 12.3. My number is average for a 35-44 year old.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

I am not familiar with those scales.

 

[Saltyag2010]

I am not familiar with those scales.

I wasn't either. I googled it. They only told me the free testosterone levels. I don't know my total testosterone level. I'm still below average and that's no good but I'm not low enough for insurance to cover it.
