Beginning self administered TRT (labs included)

[timtimlucier]

Hey guys. I’ve been having trouble finding an anti-aging doc in my area that will prescribe T so I’ve decided to do it on my own. I’ve had all the necessary labs work done but with my total testosterone apparently in optimal range (it really isn’t though) the TRT doc I seen won’t prescribe me anything. I’m starting with 100mg/week of cypinate to start and I’ll have my labs drawn again in 3 months and adjust from there. These are my results, they are in Canadian measurements. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’ve done a fair amount of research on the topic. I’ve read testosterone replacement therapy by John Cristler and testosterone replacement therapy manual by Jay Campbell. I’m no pro so any helpful advice would be appreciated.

Testosterone - 15.6 nmol/L
Free testosterone - 333 pmol/L
PSA - 0.55 ug/L
Prolactin - 9.69 ug/L
LH - 2.9 IU/L
FSH - 2.7 IU/L
Estradiol - 55 pmol/L
TSH - 1.95 mIU/L

My advice would be to continue to see a doctor for trt. You say that you have been seeing a doctor why would he stop prescribing?

 

[John]

I don’t think he stopped, he said he just Isnt doing it period so why keep seeing him then is how I read it

 

[Bigmurph6]

I read he decided to go on his own instead of see his doctor

 

[John]

He said try on his own cause he can’t find a anti aging doctor, after that he said he had seen a trt doctor that wont prescribe it

@John

What happened to the original doc

Your t is in range by acceptable standards. Take that for what it’s worth. I don’t agree with it. It’s at the bottom for sure.

How old are you?

How do you feel?

 

[Poppy]

Were you under a docs care and he quit prescribing t or would he NOT do it at all because your levels are “in range”.

 

[Poppy]

Theres some labs that have dropped the “normal” range down to 260(ish) due to the overall global decline in men’s testosterone. Basically the new norm is low t… terrible terrible crap happening on this rock.

 

[Bigmurph6]

Its true and sad I still believe that it comes from hormones in the food chain destroying testosterone function. It also makes us more controlable if you believe in that sorta thing

 

[Poppy]

I do believe in it. I don’t think we’ll ever see it but some generation of our grandkids will…maybe less than 100 years from now. A totally controlled global population with pockets of resistance here and there.

 

[Poppy]

It’s a slow creep

 

[John]

I’m not blind he straight up said he tried a trt doc

 

[John]

Qutoe," the trt doc I see wont prescribe me anything" end quote

 

[Bigmurph6]

I know that you aren’t blind that’s why I posted it to show what he said

Im trying to get if he was on trt already?

If so what happened to the doctor?

Also there are many doctors I recommend doing trt with a doc so you get pharma grade compounds plus if anything happens he can immediately call a doctor. Also he should get doc supervision at the beginning of trt especially.

 

[Poppy]

Brother you just always crack me up. I hope your day is good so far.

 

[John]

It would help if he chimed in

 

[John]

Well just spent a hour on hold then another 23 minutes changing my VA compensation from a card they issued, to my bank account

 

[John]

And I definitely don’t understand these trt docs and their protocols3

 

[Poppy]

In my area it’s aggravating…trt
