35, 3 Months on TRT, Need Recommendations on Results

Your doctor has no idea what he is doing, he is fumbling around. You need to start learning in self-defense. You cannot be passive with male hormone care!

Self-inject T 50mg twice a week, subq with #29 1/2" 0.5ml insulin syringe, pinch up skin fold over upper leg, inject into fold with needle parallel to muscles below.

Do labs always half-way between injections, time of office visit can be wrong.

When you inject every two weeks, T levels get very high then fall and can be very low. The biggest determinator of your lab results is lab timing and such lab results are useless.

On TRT you need these labs:
TT
FT
E2
PSA if >40
CBC
hematocrit
AST/ALT

What were your pre-TRT labs:
FSH?
LH?
prolactin?
E2?
