Ok just got everyting taken care of.

If someone else wants some other number I will provide them, for starters here goes.
reference range
Testosterone, total 453 241-827 NG/DL



I got a prescription for Androgel #30 apply to skin daily



My bmi is on the low side, I decided to try to put on some more weight and this is what the Doc and I have decided to try first.


I am lifting med weights 3 times a wk and only throwing a couple of times a week.

Maybe if some one else has something else drop a note and lets compare.

Androgel sucks! BMI readings are a joke. They are charts that are generated by insurance companies. If you go by that chart, every top BB is obeast. Get a BIA done for real body composition testing and see if there is any morphologic chages over time with IM Test.

A note on BIA testing esp for PWA's. It's shocking that most doctors still use a weight scale for determining body weight with no way to seperate body fat from lean body mass. A BIA scale, which used to cost thousands of dollars can now be had at a store like sharper image for about $100. You can have more information about if you are building lean body mass in your bathroom than your professional AIDS doctor's office. A worthwile investment. Thanks! Alan Chiras.

Well we did not do any extensive test for my BMI. This doc is a DO working with myself and another doc. Kinda simple get on a scale, do the pinch test as well as watch my growth rate for the last several years.

Not really rocket science.


It was my choice to try to put on some extra weight.

Maybe testim does suck.

I would like a few extra lbs just for safety sake.

Will i go poking myself with needles and a lot of extra drugs that I dont know what will happen.....NO.

I have a six month supply of testim and I will do some blood work at 3 months and then a 6 months to see where I stand.
