Well I went in to the Doc today ( the very conservative one) and I
talked to him about my Test only being at 400 and having almost ZERO sex drive. I did tren and test eth about 7 months ago and I have not been the same.
We discussed Androgel vs Test Injections. He was VERY against Test Injections and I explained I respected his opinion and would try his approach First. He said he was going to put me on Androgel at half a dose for 2 month on a half a 2.5 dose at once
a day and he said it would not be enough to suppress my own test from producing on their own and returning to the way it was pre-trenbolone/ test eth cycle .
He also said at that small amount it would likely get my own testicles reproducing test on their own without having to stay on HRT for life.
He thought Human Growth Hormone was ok even though he does not mess with it.
I am going to give his method a try and see if he is right or full of crap.
If I feel a return of my libido in a week or
so I wil stay on it for the next 8 weeks and see after that if I still need it.
If I feel normal then I will not stay on HRTfrom now on because I hate having to screw with this when I am only 40, However if I do not see any results in the next few weeks then I will blow this off and use the script I will get from my other doctor for Test Cyponate injections of 100mg a week.
That is my backup plan though I will have to get another Doc if I do that because Doctors have egos and when
you go against their protocols like that they almost always have a chip on their shoulder from that point on
and are not as objective in treating you because you " DID NOT DO WHAT THEY TOLD YOU"
I talked to my conservative doc today and he said he was against the injections because he said it would raise my liver enzymes and stress my liver and that after each shot my test levels would drop fast ( my liver enzymes are slightly elevated now but he said not much which is strange because I have not drank or taken meds in 8 weeks )
He also talked about how I would only need arimadex if I was getting to much test to begin with.
WHen I mentioned HCG he goes " OF COURSE YOU NEED IT WHEN YOU GET INJECTIONS BECAUSE YOU ARE SHUTTING DOWN YOUR OWN PRODUCTION AND OF COURSE YOUR TESTICLES WILL SHRINK"
He was saying it verbally like "don't you get it"?
He also said that my body eventually would reject the test and that my receptors would shut down and nothing would work anymore and I would just be screwed with no sex drive or way to get it.
He said injections were never made to be a LONG TERM SOLUTION to lack of testosterone.
He told me Androgel was not that expensive HE WAS WRONG THERE!
$254 for one month supply (well two month since I am only going to use half a package a day)
He said if I used the whole package of 2.5 a day it would suppress my natural test from returning which is opposite of the the goal at the moment.
I care about Bodybuilding and looking good, but I am much more concerned with how many times I can get wood and bang my young hot Girlfriend.
I guess everyone has different priorities. Anyway I will give his method a chance. If I do not feel results that are acceptable to how I felt before I ever took anything. Then I will just start taking shots and go see another doc.
The problem I have with the doc who will write me shots for Test is that he
is just after the money and He does not care what you put in your body.
He would write me a script for large doses of oxycontin and test at the same time without asking why.
I also have to question how competent he is when he is so willing to give anyone anything without
being concerned about the consequences overall of so many meds. He seems only concerned with
can he do it without getting in trouble.
I am basing my treatment on a combination of trying this first and moving on to other options if needed, what I am experiencing myself in the next few weeks, and what I have read
and learned from on this board. In the end it is better to live a shorter life and feel great then to live a longer life feeling like nothing!!! I am not saying I want to die at 50 but If I lived great till 70 it would be better than living like crap to 80!!
Any thoughts from those who have gone down this road.
Who here has been on HRT for 2 years,5 years or even better 10 years with just injections and can give me feedback on this story?
