    Question Doc Prescribing Test

    Hey guys/girls...i was wondering if i happened to go to the doc and get a bloodtest and he saw i had low test lvl (perhaps from a cycle) then would he put me on test? If not test what would he most likley go abt doing?

    Depends on the Doc. SOmetimes they will want to try creams and stuff that have test in them. And it depends on how low it is. Even if you are dead nuts on the bottom of the "acceptable" scale, then usually they won't

    When you get your results, there are a few things you need to point out and ask:

    Doc, could this be why I am having erection issues? It just doesn't work well anymore. (I am serious, low test does cause this)

    Talk about lack of labido too.

    Also look up the effects of test on the body. (low test) Stress, and things like that. Make sure you include some other issues in the conversation. This will give you the best chance at some treatment.

    You might also suggest that you'd like a referral to an endocrinologist--who would be more likely to prescribed test than a family doctor.

    you would probably get better help in the hrt forum

    i would guess they would bring you back in later for another test, and if its still low, they might give you test, but not much. after that, you're stuck on it, so think about it if you don't need it

    Well typically i would not need it but after a cycle with say tren in it...it could have shut down nat test lvl's therefore it be reading low. I would have to skip my PCT in order to show him my low test lvl's.

    pretty much. the point of it is to replace naturally low test (usually older people or people who messed up their hpta) and as you know with injecting test, it will shut down your hpta fairly quickly. i'm pretty sure the constant (year round, non stop) suppression and inactivity will be permanent. but someone on it would have to say for sure

    But the Sweet part? When you cycle you dont have to PCT.

    or you can do TRT through an online doc who JUST does TRT, and dispense with trying to convince a doctor to give you what you want. And you don't have to have test levels below normal !

    TRT is test replacement therapy
    HRT is hormone replacement therapy--which is non-specific; can be either m or f but more commonly used to describe replacement of fem hormones in natural or iatrogenic menopause.

    but in the context of this board can get away with using either term interchangably and you're understood.
