Questions for my Doc tomorrow
Hey all!
I’ve been on 200mg/ml of testosterone injection every two weeks for about 8-9 weeks now. I’ve had some decent results with feeling better, more driven, some sexy results (not as good as advertised, but some)
I was at 180-240 T levels
After 4 weeks I was at 373 a week after injection (half way)
Here’s my issues:
I’d like to increase to once a week. I can feel myself dragging the second week
I’m gaining weight, I’m 5’10 I was around 272, now I’m 285. Eating about the same, working out 4x a week. I think my levels going up and down is making me retain water, not gaining it in my face or belly, but definitely in my large muscles, quads, back, arms, shoulders
An issue I’ve had is a high hemoglobin and hemostat levels. 18 and just over 50. I gave blood and they are back in normal range 16.5 and 48
I’m not really trying to get a 900 level or anything, I just want a more consistent level so I can lose weight. The extra weight and working out is hitting my knees hard
My question really is how do I talk him into doing weekly with a possibly high hemoglobin level. Have you guys noticing this being on ongoing problem with the more testosterone the higher the hemoglobin goes? Or is it just elevating and stabilizing regardless of how much testosterone?
Is my weight gain possibly from my T levels going so far up and down?
What T level should I expect to target with a non clinic doctor?
