    I don't understand what ranges you mean??? This is exactly what's on my sheet......Yes, only thing i'm on right is androgel , 4 pumps a day.......I'm pretty sure she'd let me switch to shots, if I want to.......Thought I'd give the gel a chance first.....

    What is the healthy range for your age, like 250-990

    I think she said 300 to 1000 for total test and 250 to 350 for free test......I'm 31, so I think 600 is around normal level for total test????? Free test 12.3 for my age is about normal????? I'm a lil confused by all this.....

    Probably why you haven't been feeling well. If you think that 250-350 is low, My lab results came back 30-40 for free test! He said it was the lowest he has ever seen, I haven't run gear in years. No wonder I barely feel like going to te gym. Good luck to you with the TRT!

    ^2. Also, does this endo specialize in trt or is this just who your pcp refers people to, due to friendship, etc.? Call the endo's office and ask if they treat per Crislers protocols. If not, don't waste your time. Call a local compounding pharmacy and ask them if they can refer you to a doc who specializes in trt protocols. They will know who writes for all three phases, trt, hcg , ai.

    No, my doc didn't set it up.....I called myself......I only spoke to a secretary....She said there endo's are very open minded and treat each person different... All of the nurses were at clinic.....I am seeing a female endo, she went to school in Colombia and is originally from there......Don't know if that's good or bad???? I did call my pharmacy and they wouldn't tell me much....Said they don't know anyone that prescribes hcg or an ai...............I get my blood work done again in early De***ber, then see the endo in mid De***ber.....Thanks for the help everyone!!!

    If they won't answer a simple question over the phone then they probably don't/won't know the correct protocols.

    but yes levels for your age are triple of what you have. That is why you feel bad. It could be pituitary of testicle problem that you have to figure out which one.
