From all that I have read, its best to take a lower dose more often. Like 2 shots per week to avoid the crash when it wears off. I'll talk to a Dr. About it and get set up to do sub cutaneous shots in my belly fat or love handle. That would be the easiest for me.

Sent from outer space or somewhere from my mobile device

If the dose is right, there is no crash. It doesn't take much adjustment either way to get it out of kilter. When I first started I could go from kicking ass to bawling like a baby. IMO, the trick is to get other people, who really know you, to give you an honest assessment of how you handle things. Be honest with your doc and get lined out asap.

btw, I alternate butt cheeks. Small needles and ya don't feel a thing.

Advertisements have gotten to you.

There are a few men out there that actually have low T. Just not as many as they would have you believe with all the damn commercials about it.

If there is any doubt, get it checked. Most likely the majority of us are just getting older and less active, which equals a lot of the same symptoms.

I hate commercials. Stickin junk in yo head.

I hope you dont have to start injections and stuff, I heard it can be complicated.

Seriously, is "Low T" even real? I think meds are created then a "disease" is made up to fit the med. Restless leg syndrome anyone?

Jut wait until you get it...it's real...blood work that proves it is real too...as for RLS, I will never understand it because i don't have it, but my wife does...I believe her...it isn't "all in her head"

I believe the general consensus is that all the supplements are garbage. A Dr. will be your best bet.

I tried various supps...some increased libido a tad, but none raised T levels verified by lab work...some of them raised estrogen though...it depends on if you are secondary or primary...there are some supps that can help a guy whose brain isn't asking for T but gonads work just fine...if gonads not working, then I agree with you...supp probably not going to help.

A family doc could MAKE YOU WORSE if he/she has no clue about hormone replacement...many men fall victim to this

Don't waste your time with the supplements or topical creams they don't work. I have been taking injections for about a year now and it has been a complete change in my life.

Some guys say injections changed their lives and others never seem to get dialed in just right...you gotta have someone that REALLY knows what they are doing if you don't feel better on TRT...glad it's working for ya!

OH now I have the RLS, quinine works quite well.

Some of the mineral waters/tonic waters have enough to help if you drink a couple a day.

Yeah wife said they took it off the market but it worked real well for her when it was still available.

If you don't know you need to get checked out and have a blood test. I have tried AndroGel and it did not do enough for me, you also have to watch out while around the kids because it can rub off on to them and cause them growth problems if they get to much on them. AndroGel had a $10 per month on there web site at one time. Tried Striant and you put that between your gum and cheek, top lip over eye teeth twice a day, but made my gums raw and is expensive. I'm looking at the shoots and hope the third times a charm.

frequent sub-Q injections is the way to go...but if you must do Intramuscular at your doctor's office, do it more often than every 3 weeks for gosh sake...monitor red blood counts too...many men have to donate blood frequently on TRT....that is how Lance Armstrong was cheating...he took small doses that were not enough to make him buff but enough to allow him to carry more oxygen in his blood than a normal human...hence he could use his muscles longer and harder when pedaling :)...he could have just taken some chlorophyll and accomplished the same thing undetected.

I speculate that's testosterone injections what makes Peter North such a heavy shooter, seen that guy one time with Christy Canyon, didn't think he'd ever stop shootin. Couple of times he missed her face and he projectile shot nearly across the room. That had to be testosterone injections making him do that.

I am 40 and have been on T shots for about 2 months now. I also have the gel as well. Going back in for the follow up tests in a couple of weeks to see if I need more or less of the shot. 1cc every two weeks right now for me. One side effect is the body can turn testosterone into Estrogen. If that happens you have to get put on a estrogen blocker as well.

I lost 12 pounds pretty quick, now I have stabilized out. I am doing better in my cycling (road and mountain) and in life in general. Feel better all of the time, sleep better and the sex drive has increased as well.
