Newbie Needs Help

[Skyhawk]

Hi everyone. I've been reading up on this forum for about a month now and just joined over the weekend. Alot of good info on here. I am 39 years old and weigh 185 lbs. at 5'10". I was diagnosed with low test(153) a few months back and my endo started me on testim. I tried that for 2 months and asked him to put me on injections. He gave me a shot of 350mgs. and told me to come back in 3 weeks. When I went back I told him it worked fine except it didn't last 3 weeks. He gave me another injection and said come back in 2 weeks. I have a couple questions if anyone can help. First, it's been one week since the injection. I go back next week. Would it affect my test next week if I were to use some of the gel? If not, when should be the last time I apply it before I am tested next tues? I don't want to raise my test and take a chance of not getting the injections. I would really like to get in shape and start taking care of my body. Any advice?

Skyhawk, welcome to the site. You should make a post over in the HRT section, plenty of us can help and relate to your issues over there. This part of the forum is just for basic introductions.

I will say this ... Your doc is putting you on a roller coaster ride by giving you that much TRT out of the gate and then waiting 3 weeks. That's just a plain lousy protocol. Half life is 7-to-8 days. A good starting point is 100 or 150mg every week. Post it up in the HRT section, we've got other things to talk about too, like your estrogen levels and testicular atrophy.
