Anyone here know about legal hormone therapy?

Hi all,

I'm 35 soon to be 36 and after a 5 year lay off will be getting back into working out seriously.

I did a few cycles in 2001/2002.

My last cycle was Testoviron-Depot 250 mg/ml;Schering when I was living in Thailand. I reacted well to it. I think I did 500 a week.

The reason I'm looking into test again is that I had testicular cancer when I was a kid so I have 1 ball and went through heavy chemo.

I've tried to start working out a few times, but don't seem to have the agressive drive I used to. I plan to get my test levels tested, but have a feeling they will be lower than average.

Does anyone know what the legal route is like? It seems a lot of hassle for very low levels of test, but it is legal.

Also, are the saliva test as accurate as the blood tests? I was thinking of using this site to order a test kit:

My goals are fairly easy to reach. I'm 5'10" and 212lbs right now. Way too much fat. I do martial arts and just don't seem to recover like I used to.

Guess I just want a boost to my test levels for overall well being.

I think a few low level cycles a year will just help me counter my aging and having 1 ball.

I like powerlifting, so size isn't the primary goal here..just increased strength and recovery time.

Opinions much appreciated...

Thanks.

No one care to chime in?

Well, I got the saliva test kit today. I know people are on the edge of their seats wanting to know my test levels. LOL. I'll post when I get the results.

I'm curious how the test went. I've only seen total and free test measured with blood work.

I'll be calling the lab tomorrow to ask about the results. I figured for $30 I'd try it out.

You really need to check out the Andropause Forum:

Really your best bet would be consulting with an anti-aging doc ... I do have to say that I'm curious of what the results of a hormonal salivary test vs. a blood test would be.

Thanks for the links, Anthony.

Well, I got the test results today.

According to saliva test I am above normal at 216 pg/ml

There was a paper with it that stated:

Testosterone is high, indicating topical testosterone supplementation. A young male at peak production in his 20's normally produces about 4-5mg of test daily.and salivary levels range from 100-200 pg/ml.

I have a feeling it's mainly stress from work as I have gotten to the gym the last 2 weeks and get good results.

I may do a full 'wellness' profile via blood when I can the money.

In the meantime, I will concentrate on getting to the gym regularly and keeping a clean diet.

BTW, I am not using any supplements other than protein powder.
