The vast difference in TRT Doctors...

Over 40...
The Doctors I've experienced while on TRT?.. Beware!
I first started TRT 3 years ago after noting my symptoms. My GP refered me to a Urologist for injections. I was clear in explaining to my GP that I can not do topical creams because of my GF's fears of growing a mustache before her time. (I suggest you do the same if you want to be on injectable Testosterone).
A year later, my Urologist saw that my blood count was slightly high. Apparently he panicked and sent me to the resident Endocrinologist without even talking to me.
Next thing...I'm in the company of a Russian Endo. No problem right?...Wrong! This guy had the personality of Joseph Stalin! When I asked him about Russia he said, "I don't get back there as much as I'd like." (Red Flag #1) Who'd want to get back there!!?

Long story short...the Russian Endo saw my Test numbers over the years (none over 950), looked at my arms (noting that I worked out) and lectured me about high Test levels (I haven't done any cycles), said they're high and asked me to go off Test for 4 weeks so he could check for a Thyroid condition.. huh?! (Red Flag #2)! I got a week and 1/2 out of my dosage and was like a Woman on PMS. NO Way I could continue!
I found a new Endo and all is well. He didn't even bat an eye at my blood tests...only said, "It looks like your levels are up and that's good." Wow!

Bottom line: Doctors are like Auto-mechanics...even if they're certified, it doesn't mean they have the same repair skills/opinions.
Now, if you'll excuse me...I'm about to do some cycles...

Try a Life Longevity DR. They are open to any approach that makes the quality of your life better.
However, they won't go too far with aas due to the Feds watching them.

I'm my best HRT dr.

Thanks, lion2005, ...
I think my endo will be cool, but I'll keep your info under advisement.

The only questions he asked were:
"Have you taken any steroids?" I replied, "No, only legal, homeopathic products." Which is true. Or was true...I did some Andro cycles when it was a legal substance. [My favorite was UR-24]. Great product in those days!
Then he asked "are you strictly heterosexual?" I replied, "Yes". ..no idea what that was about.
That's all he asked.

I'll work around the blood tests for the current cycle, even though it's a mild one. But at least he isn't one of those docs who's apposed to the higher test levels.

I'll see what's up with him.
Yeah, I'm likely my best HRT doc as well.
I'll let y'all know what happens...

My doc never checks blood work unless I ask. Every time I go in he tries to talk to me about bodybuilding. He even told me he can't get me hgh script but if I can find it to try it for 6 months lol.
