The fact that you need to talk him into getting a blood test done is outrageous….he should immediately schedule you for ANY test of your choice if you show a concern (This is basic procedure)….you obviously know your body better than he does. Secondly, just because he is an Endo, does not necessarily mean he is a Anabolic Specialist. I can give you a few personal recommendations if you private message me as to what Endo’s are good in your area.

As for your blood test, it is not concerning to me at all. What part of this test are you feeling uncomfortable about? Also, what type of Testosterone injection did you receive? I would NOT recommend a strong SERM or AI in this case. I would suspect that they would negatively effect your Lipid levels more then you can tolerate at this point. The ONLY estro suppression medication you could consider is Tamoxifen Citrate, however, your levels are not yet to the point of concern, especially if you are switching to Androgel. Obviously your Estradiol will dramatically drop when you make this switch due to the relatively low Transdermal Aromatase Enzyme Conversion. If you are feeling any side effects of elevated estrogen, there are a few routes you could take (Over the counter) that are both effective and inexpensive…I can give you some guidance if needed.
Problem is if we has as many "expert doctors" on male hormone treatment as there are for women, we wouldn't be in this situation. Until the profession stands up for men, and some of our problems, and stops being afraid to practice medicine and uphold their oath, we will have a hard time finding what we need without paying through the nose for it.


Doctors saw the female hormone replacement as a cash cow, and so they jumped in on it. Can you imagine the profits obtainable if trt was as common as female hrt?

Come on Doc's pull your head out of your ass - it is a win/win for you. You get to take care of the patient and make some money while you are at it.

I know, I know, the insurance companies are another one with their foot on the brake. But, you could still charge less than the anit-aging clinics, let the patient get his meds where he wants to, and still make plenty of dough compaired to what you get back from the insurance co's - so don't give me that line of bs either.

Sorry bout this, it is just that the op pissed me off for some reason.
