I'm 25 years old and I have been suffering from low test levels for over a year. I did a cycle over a year and half ago and have had low test levels ever since I came off. I went to the doctor about 6 months ago and got the 1st blood tests taken...on a scale of 250-1150 it was 285. Then about a month ago I went back to see if they had improved but they said it was still the same. Now the doctor that tested me 6 months ago told me I could do the weekly injections for a replacement but I told him no because I wanted to wait and see if I could bring up my levels naturally. But as of last month, seeing how they were still low, I have kind of decided that I want to get on trt. Now the the newer doctor I went to a month ago said he wants me to get further examination by a urologist to see if it could be anything else. However, the doc wouldn't give me any cialis and told me I just needed to wait (I was having ED) to speak with the urologist to get to the real problem. Now I know that the problem was because of my natural test levels being low so I went ahead and started self trt for now.

Anyways, I went to the urologist thinking that he was just going to prescribe me to trt, but he didn't want to do the injectables (keep in mind I have been on the injectables for a week and a half on my own at 100mgs/wk). So he took some more blood tests of his own and gave me a prescription to the gel for now, he said he didn't want to start me out on the injectables because that would be perminant and he wanted to wait to get his blood test back to see if it could be anything else. So that being my story, I have a few questions: Will the trt already show up in my system or does it take a month or so to raise your levels? If I'm wanting to do the injectables and be monitored instead of self treating, should I go back to the original doctor that told me 6 months ago that he would give me weekly injections and tell him that I have self started but want to be monitored? Also, since I am on the injectables, I should not do the gel correct?

sorry for the long read...just wanted to get my whole story in there so yall could better understand
