I went to my family doctor around the beginning of May. Wasn’t feeling ‘right’. Low libido, low energy, mood swings, exercise and eating relatively healthy but no bf loss, highish blood pressure [on meds for that].
I had blood work done over a year ago and T was on the low side of normal, but still within range. Dr thought it might be depression [I disagreed]. Ran the blood gamut again with these results:
- free T4 - 1.24 ng/dL
- TSH - 3.60 mIU/mL
- T - 244 ng/dL
Tests were done at Premiere Diagnostics Laboratory, Sterling Heights, MI
Follow up visit, the doctor prescribed testosterone cypionate injections once every two weeks. His plan is to do this for two months, then one shot per month thereafter. The dosage on the vile is 200 mg/mL.
Does the dosage seem too infrequent?
At this point I am just happy the Dr prescribed something that actually makes me feel completely better. The first week after the shot I feel great … like I can move mountains. The ‘feeling’ declines thereafter.
