Ummm… he has been a physician for probably a longer period than you have been alive. He’s tried everything I can assure you. He has amassed an extraordinary level of experience and has determined what works for most men and starts with that. Then he can adjust if necessary. He is confirming he has no patients doing 50 mg a week because it is unbelievably rare contrary to what you have been led to believe.
@Gossamer can you explain to me what better words I can use here? He just explained that he can explain my position even better than I can yet still fails to explain my position.
That’s what I read on forums…meanwhile in real life I’m a sales rep. 10 natty guys can’t wait until the dealer meeting is over so they can go to the strip club. And when I was on 150mg test a week I was like why would you want to do that?
Correct. You’ve just answered your own question. Dose and serum levels are zero indication as to how a man will feel.
Zero.
Get it?
So it’s just a coincidence that since I now have the exact same range as my natty buddies I just happen to notice the cart girl’s ass or want to go to strip clubs again? Just a complete coincidence? I mean maybe I guess.
But I’m going with Occam’s razor here and am guessing that getting my range to theirs is, in fact, the reason I have a libido again and notice the cart girl’s ass and am happy to go to strip clubs again.
One more thing:
Just because the guy claims he can bang the cart girl three times in three hours, with his rock hard dick, doesn’t mean it is TRUE.
I was once that guy. I couldn’t get it up if I tried. My wife, on a scale of 1 to 10, is a 17. I had zero libido and ED at anything below 200. It improved by the time I hit 250. Totally gone at 300. I still used to tell my friends, pre trt, that I was an animal in bed and always hard blah blah blah. It was bullshit. There is no way I would admit that back then. I DID admit it when I did my very first video on the TRT channel. How I sat at the edge of my bed, sobbing like a child, with my wife who looks like an instagram model wondering how it was possible that I wasn’t rock hard when she took her clothes off. Those issues have vanished now.

“Ever let?” I don’t “let” anyone do anything. However, I’ve never had a patient ask for that low of a dose and I would not make that recommendation. One of the legs of evidence based medicine is the needs, wants, desires and expectations of the patient. If, after explaining to them why I do not think it will help, based on the other two legs of EBM, what I have read and my clinical experience, they still wanted to try it, I would agree to it with every expectation we would be making a change soon.

Well sure people lie all the time. By the way, your wife is smoking. Despite our differences, I can say congrats on that.

Yes. It’s a coincidence and you are assuming what their levels are. Half of them could be low and half of them could be high. Makes no difference. The number is meaningless and indicates nothing.
Patients are morons. I certainly was. Oh you want me to do pellets…ok doc. oh now i have scar tissue on my ass cheeks so i have to go to 150mg a week injections…ok doc. people asking me why my face is always red…that will resolve in time…ok doc.
Had I not got on TRT, I would have lost her. For sure. She thought she wasn’t attractive enough for me and couldn’t understand it because every other man wanted to jump her in a heartbeat. So why would she stay with a guy like me who couldn’t get it up in front of such a gorgeous woman? Her libido is even higher than mine. She’s 37 and I’ll be 47 in February.

Do you see what my position is now? Do you understand how it can get frustrating for me how everyone seems to misunderstand and take things out of context? I do so many videos saying the exact same thing but just find different ways to explain the exact same thing. Yet I’m still misunderstood.
It’s tiring
No you weren’t. Maybe some are. However, it’s on the doctors to explain all benefits, risks and alternatives to anything recommended, for or against. Some say it’s up to the patient to ask, but some simply do not know where to start and what to ask.

yeah my wife’s is higher than mine too…needless to say she is happy that I found mine again by getting back to my normal level…it’s kind of crazy when you think about it. I had mine tested one time before the test that showed 81. It was 335 and we were fine in the sex department. I never once thought to myself, “hey, I should try and get back to that 335” instead I was always chasing a higher number. Could have lost her if I hadn’t have found Emeric’s 10mg a day thread.

No, sorry. If you failed to explain things to me, I’d still be walking around with foot pain, and poisoning myself with anastrozole. Some people just refuse to make an honest effort to understand what someone else is actually saying. Your position has been made clear.

FYI, @dbossa was referring to outliers WHO ARE ON TRT, not people who aren’t on trt.

well my doc said she wanted to see me at 1000-1200 TT and I never second guessed her. A lot of us just think the doc knows best.
There is no textbook for this stuff.

Your doc was targeting a number.
Rule number 1: don’t target a number. As you saw, that doesn’t work.
