In that case, before you even consider using illegal AAS, you should go see a Urologist.
you will find on this thread an example of how to go about finding one:
I cutt an pasted this from another of my posts -------
You need to find your own doctor, Urologists are my preferred favorite, and hopefully insurance will be willing to pay for at least the blood tests.
Simply put, you need to research the urologists, before you schedule an appt.
You can do this by calling clinics, in whatever distance you are willing to travel to, and ask to speak to their nurse.
Ask her if he regularly treat men with TRT, and if blood tests determine low test, does he prefer to treat with IM test, gels, etc…
Other questions can include; does he have experience in using TRT to treat former steroid users, who now suffer from low testosterone permanently?
The way the nurse answers is how you can find out if this is the right doctor.
Generally you cannot get any of those answers from the doctor themselves, as the always want to meet with you first, however talking to the nurse can give you an idea of what the doctor regularly uses for treatment.
If the nurse says “he does not use IM often, but I know a lot about gels and cialis”, then say “ok thanks for your time”, and continue calling other Urology clinics.
Once you find a nurse who says the doctor regularly uses testosterone in his treatment, and has experience with former steroid users, then you ask your general practitioner for a referral to this doctor.
If your GP refuses, then get a new GP, which is a lot easier than finding the good specialist. Most insurance companies require an referal to a spec. Mine does not, and so I am lucky. I just found my Uro, and he helped me, a lot.
Ohh, and another good question to ask: Does the doctor have experience working with Female to Male transgender patients? – as this is a strong indication that the specific doctor is used to dosing at least 100-200mg EW with test cyp, which is generally the “good-zone” for your TRT needs.
Keep in mind that you will still have to come up low on a blood test. Doctors that regularly prescribe testosterone have the Gov all over their back with regulations, so you need to show legitimate medical need. Hence why you would have to show up low on a blood test. By the sounds of it, you likely would come show up low, so I think once you find a good Urologist, you will be doing better. -----
The reason I say you should be in the care of a qualified Urologist, is that you may have naturaly low test. If you facial hair hardly grows in, well, that is a tell-tale sign that something is wrong.
If you are not getting morning wood, unless you have to piss, something is amiss.
If I were in your shoes, I would use GH before I would try test. Just the offchance that at 21, if your testosterone is low, then your gorwth plates may not have fused yet, and there is the chance of gaining a few inches in height. It is a longshot, but just food for thought.
Anyhow, the biggest thing you need to do is find out how much testosterone, and free testosterone, estradiol etc... you are making right now, and get to the bottom of why your facial hair is not growing in well, as that is sign # 1 of there being a testosterone issue in the first place. Short statue can also be a telltale sign, sometimes, but not always. If it is in combination with lack of facial hair growth, then it is.

facial hair is not a sign of low natty test he could be prone to have none due to genetics and as far a morning wood i don't hold this in too high a regard either i never get it and my natty test levels averaged 600 or so which isn't that bad. bottom line is he will need a blood test to see and that would still be only for that day not an average of what he produces. i would have to guess by his pics that he does have a decent test level and prob produces 70 mgs a week naturally so to screw up your natty levels to raise it to 200 doesn't make a lot of sense to me i would wait
this thread has gotten out of hand![]()
I wouldn't say it has gotten out of hand. These guys have given me a lot to consider and some great advice. As for blood work and test levels, how quickly would I get my results from my blood test and what kind of method do they use to get the blood? Is is drawn from a vein or is it a prick on the finger?
I had my blood work done as well as I am considering AAS. Have your thyroid levels and cholesterol checked as well. These are just as important factors to look at alongside test levels. I had some of the same concerns you have, and this put them all to rest as they all checked out normal.
Hey Bob you should be proud of what you,ve done natty and see how far you can go with it. Impressive.
Thanks. I'm trying my ass off!
