my test results

**Brazil** · 08-26-2008, 09:12 AM

I have a question about you guys that are on hrt. What were you levels when you went on and how old were you? I got my results back today and everything except my test was good. It was @ 270 ng and range was 300-1599. Tommorow I am going to a clinic to see whats up... For those of you on it are you happy you are on it or is it something you wished you hadn't done. I'm only 29 and im not too impressed with my test levels. Ive done some readind and found that for athletes that depend on strength and mass its good to have atleast 800ng\ml.

i think i can anser for most on this forum about being happy and not having regrets and say yes...i dont remember hearing 1 post saying...i wish i never began trt....its black and white
if you're able to afford the anti aging clinic route...you'll be well taken care of whatever your needs
you sound like you've been reading up? and thought you were a candidate for trt?
good luck bro

I am just a couple months in, but I wish I started sooner. I was run down and had docs test everything and testosterone was the last on my list. Turned out I was at 140. Good luck and let us know how you do.

Please do and good luck. Curious, do you have low test symptoms?

**natureboy** · 08-26-2008, 05:53 PM

I haven't gotten my doseage dialed in yet, I've been on a month, I go in for more bloodwork next week. I wish I knew then what I know now. My last test level was 149 total.
Good luck.

also what types are some of you on and have you tried several methods, patch, inject or otherwise. I read on the sticky that prop enth and cyp should not be taken on a long term basis.

I was on androgel for 3 weeks when I first started. It worked, but was messy and I have a wife and kids and didn't want to get it on them. Now I am on test CYP injections. Some guys have good relsults with gel and patches, but I would say most of us like injections. 90% of the guys here on injections do 100 mgs once a week or 200 mgs once every two. Good luckk on your appointment bro.

**NEMESIS RR** · 08-30-2008, 07:49 AM

Thanks for letting me know. I too thought 250 would put you over 1000.
