43 yr old male Low T

[The Auger]

Been on Cypionate injections - makes my face red, big pours and my hair fall out...I get some engery and strength gain to normal levels, but sides are tough on me. Goal is to elevate levels to normal range...if a little above with some added strength and energy, all the better! But not wanting to be Arnold...

Would I be better to switch to one of the following instead:

HCG
Clomid
Novaldex

Just seems that injecting male (or giving creams) of test during TRT is archaic...it's more an issue of stimulating the Gonad system into product of natural test no?

Thanks

If your self medicating you need to find a good dr.

Welcome to the forum Auger.

Injections, gels, creams or pellets, it's all testosterone. The delivery system is just personal choice based on lifestyle and BW results. It's not archaic, it's actually cutting edge and still developing. HCG or serms may work but are usually not a means to an end. It also depends on whether you are primary or secondary hypogonadal.

If you're on TRT and secondary you should always be on HCG at the same time. Some doc's even advocate for HCG if you're primary due to LH receptors being throughout the body, including the brain.
