Low T (testosterone)

[Walking Eagle]

I get injections every two weeks. Has helped me a bunch. If you are wondering if you have low T, go see an endocrinologist and get it checked. I also take vitamin b12 and d supplements everyday.

Ya'll be care if you take the steriod or testosterone injection. Be sure to talk with your doctor about testing for prostate cancer. Testosterone injections will accellerate the growth of prostate cancer. They removed my prostate and if I received injections, it could accellerate the growth of any stray cancer cells. My t-level are low-normal, but I don't want the risk of getting cancer in another area, that I may be able to otherwise avoid. Just be careful guys, it is not a one-size fits all when it come to this stuff. What you take today may cause your death later.

Old thread, but the doc said I have low level. Did not get the numbers though. I will call back and get the numbers.

[2050z]

as much training as I am doing and eating right I thought my numbers would be better.

I will be looking for all kinds of answers. The rest of my checkup was fine.
Normal BP
No diabetes
Normal cholesterol
Liver and Kidneys are fine
Creatine level is normal.


I have a follow up visit to get some other issues reviewed.

After reading this and got the test done. Said I need a T management. I got the Axiron gel. Didn't work for me. Wanted to get pellets shot but ins won't pay. Out of pocket close to 1,000.00. Good for 6-8 months. Had to get the lowest amount I can afford which was injections. I'm on my third injection. I think they will raise my ml for each shots. I am feeling pretty good. I think with a ml per shot should be noticeably difference.

I wanted to try Androgel but that was like 300.00/month. I still need to work on exercise and eating right. Otherwise my health checks out fine. That's all I'm happy with is my health in a good shape. Except for love handle!

Andro gel doesn't work shots do

Andro gel doesn't work shots do

Yeah, they said that 70% men don't respond to gel like they do with shots. That's high.

TRT like the link you posted, is prostate cancer in a can. So says my brother who is Director of Oncology Services at UT Tyler Cancer Center. He recommends Tribulus Terrestris. If you do get regular low T treatment, ie the weekly at home shots or gel, use the minimum amount. Proper diet and exercise will greatly increase Testosterone levels in a natural way. Tribulus has no side effects and is most effective when used with proper exercise and diet.

Go to the Low T center in your area ,mine was 147 now it's in the mid 600 I feel great .I get injection once a week, my insurance cover it when I meet my deductible .shot $99 per week and once a month they do blood work at the cost of $199 so you are looking at $500 a month if your insurance don't cover it .Ihave a $5,000 deduct so I'm paying out of pocket worth every penny.

Lots of bro science in this thread.

If you cannot get your Dr to test it, go get it tested at one of the independent labs. It will cost you about $150.

At 33 I had the T of a 70 year old. After a year of weekly injections I have just not got it to a normal level for my age and I feel great.

[Willbehunt'n]

It happens. I am 53 and mine dropped to the low 200 hunderds in the last year. I have started treatments about 3 months ago and I am beginning to feel better.

[2050z]

What side affects are any of you seeing?

[KSHogman]

I notice a differnce the second day after the shot, it takes around a month to get balance out .
