Ok,so i went to my family doctor,explained that i think i'm having a problem dropping weight,and putting on lean muscle.

So i ask this dude to set up an appointment for me to get my bloodwork done,i get it done,i go and see my family doc about my results,he's running down the list telling me my blood sugar levels look good,cholesterol count looks good,testosterone levels look good,then he starts talking to me,and then stops in mid sentence,and then tell me...Oh wait,your testosterone levels are a lil low.

He then tells me that my count is a 5.7,now,can someone tell me what my count should be for a dude in his early 30's.

So he goes on to write me a script for a small dosage of testerone supplement,and that we'll keep an eye on the count,but he says,if i take a higher dosage,it could result in prostate cancer....Like a need that

So then i ask him if it would be better for me to purchase trib off the shelf,he then responds vehemently....NO,you shouldn't do that,we don't know what the ingredients are,( I really don't think this guy knows about supplementation)so i quickly dropped that issue before he blew a gasket.

Can i get some help/feed back for my situation,i'm trying to get back to the gym after i move,and i want to be on point when it's time to start weight training again.

I believe the range is 8-38

I thought my T levels were low, but I got 16.

From what i can make out,it looks like he has 60 circled with his pen,but i also see something that looks like 4mg,it's really hard to read his writing

yeah tell your doc you hate pills and they seem to upset your tummy and you'd consider giving injections a try if he walked you through the process of injecting blah blah blah .............:p

Your wife is a nurse. Gels/pills are inconvenient for you as you travel alot. You'd much rather have your wife administer a once a week injection.

The gel caps don't absorb properly...hence it's a waste :)

i have the same problem. normal levels are around 45. mine is at 35 so my dr. is gonna give me the test gel. He also said that once i start i'll be on it for the rest of my life.

This is complete BS. Testosterone will not cause cancer but can cause it to grow faster if it already exists. I suggest going to see a real HRT doc. As for gel cap absorbtion they need to be take them with a tablespoon of oil, olive works well.

how you guys on HRT not tempted to take more than 200mg every 2 weeks?

I would stick to a conservative dose of 300mg a week at least.
