Help-Doctor is playing games

[Gettinbig01]

I went for a blood test and my level were as followed Testosterone total=212 which is obviously LOW. Than 1month later DR sent me for additional work.... Prolactin 22.1 which is High, Test total =192(L), Test free=47, test bioabailabe=103. Now this DR wants to send me for an MRI on putuitry glands and sonigram. Dr will not give me any creams nor injections. I have been off for about 15months. Do you guys feel these levels are to be concerned about, and is there anyone out there that has received test for levels like this from a DR. 28y/o Male... Thanks

ya Dr just wants to see what ya purt is doing, or not doing, thats all.once it comes back at the very least you will be on the gel, then go for the shots.im 31 by the way, similar situation.

I say be glad youve found a doctor that is interested in treated the cause of your problem and not just the symptoms.

[FullMoonHowlingWolf]

I do agree that your doc is being through which is a good thing. I understand how it feels when your levels are low. Try to be a little patient and in the meantime you could always get a second opinion. Also, what's your cycle experience?

I remember having an MRI on my pituitary...my doctor did that as well. Bare with the process buddy. Best of luck

[Gettinbig01]

Whats the process after the MRI. Any more tests or does the problem finally get treated? I feel all I do is go for tests

takes a while, mri was done after 2nd blood test than 3rd blood test was still low so i started after that. he's doing the right thing by checking your pituitary

I guess my doc is pretty cool he gave me the gel while he was waiting on my results
We tried that until the results came in and just started on the cyp today.
I thought he was real cool until he told me I was to do 1cc a week for four weeks, then 1cc every other week for a month, then only 1cc a month.
1cc a month what good is that, hopefully I can get him to see the light.

after the ester..that's prolly equivalent to 5mg gel ED

interesting how he front loads that therapy...did he give a reason for this method?

Make sure you get the shots and that it is at least 100 mg a week, then do followup bloodwork. If you can, milk him for 200 mg a week.

No reason (I always front loaded my cycles to though)

I thought he really knew what he was doing until he told me he wanted me to be on 200mg a month by way of 1 injection a month

I am worried I am going to have to do it his way and let him do the blood work and see for himself that its not going to get me where I want to be

when I would rather just tell him how I want to do it and I probably will

Sorry didn't mean to jack your thread
