Just Started Testosterone Shots

[Guest guest]

Have low level of testosterone, early 50's and the dr started me with

300 mg every 3 weeks. I'm wondering if injections are the best way to

go or whether the patch or gel are better. Anyone have some personal

experience they would like to share? Thanks.

Also, do any natural tonics work like tribulus?

Hi zimbo and welcome.

Yes shots are good if you do them right what your Dr. is doing is dam old and

putts you on a roller coaster ride up after the shot then for the next 15 days

down until your next shot. Go to Dr. 's site he is one of the best low

testosterone Dr.'s and has free info on his site go to www.allthingsmale.com and

read TRT: A Recipe for success and His HCG update. Doing shots every week is

best most men here do them there self. Also read the AACE Guildlines in this

they state to do shots every 7 to 10 days read page 11.

http://www.aace.com/pub/pdf/guidelines/hypogonadism.pdf

I am betting your Dr. does not test your Estradiol and doing shots this big

drives this way up and this kills your sex life giving you ED so bad the pill

will not work.

Here also read this.

Most of us prefer shots. But three weeks is too long. You will get

very high T levels in the beginning, much of this will convert to E2

robbing you of the positive benefits of T and giving you nasty side

effects, ED, weight gain, trouble losing wait, low libido and even

breasts if it gets too high.

Then at the end of the three weeks your levels will be very low and

you will feel awful from low T. Weekly shots of about 100 mg are

preferred.

Gels are very expensive and many of us find they stop working over

time. Patches are poor delivery systems and many cause rashes and

skin problems from the adhesives.

Some here like pellets but you can't fine tune them readily like you

can shots (they're placed under the skin or several months.

If your on T therapy I'd stay away from things that tinker with the

balance.

patches and gels never worked for me. This may be the case for you too.

Patches and gels never worked for me. if you're injecting on a 3 week schedule,

I think it's a bad idea. I was doing 400mg (or 2cc) monthly and it turned out to

be a bad idea.

What happens is this: you introduce large amounts of testosterone into the

body at one time. There's an enzyme in the body known as aromatase. It converts

testosterone into estradiol or E2 which then competes for testosterone cell

receptor sites throughout the body.

This can lead to peculiar headaches, vomiting in some cases, and just a

general weirdness that you may not want to go through. Now my doctor takes

monthly shots and is completely unaffected so it may never effect you. Can't

promise but only tell you my experience.

You can control this process by taking daily 50mg zinc followed by 2mg copper.

I also take indoplex with DIM which is an estrogen metabolizer.

Make a note and if you feel your body is on a roller coaster ride each month

then consider going to a weekly injection cycle. I do 100mg (1/2cc) weekly. Soon

I will be self injecting.
