    the real question is have you gotten a full male blood work up?

    you really need an endo doc., and full blood work up...

    as for adding to the androgel... the stuff they give you is not a aas cycle it is hormone replacement thearpy... replacement to normal test levels.... if you go higher it will start being a cycle and other issues come up as possiblilties

    what are your goals with the hrt ? from what i know your test levels should be between 500 and 800 - any one correct me if i have stated any thing in correctly - i am not a doc but i have done tons of reading up on this
    no...pretty good advice...we have to ALWAYS remember that TRT is an individual treatment and that one man may not feel/be healthy at 450 total T with normal free test, etc. He may have been high T most of his life like around the top end around 1,000 and now only 450...just an example

    very much agreed!!! i am printing this off and showing my doc!!! i have been hitting that point with him - and he wont budge...

    either way the follow up blood test will show alot... correct me if i am wrong - if chollesteral goes up to high, and protrate test come back poorly it would be too high of trt ? so i say jack the dosage up and follow up ever three weeks with blood test and ajust from there...

    prostate should always be cleared BEFORE test is administered...if so and cleared...test wont elevate/bother prostate...and i havent seen any posts with negative cholesterol from TRT
