There is a wide variety of opinions on HRT. Some of it is (in my opinion) fringe stuff. For example the folks using drugs that hyperstimulate testicular production. Often used in fertility. There are some doctors that us this instead of HRT for patients with low to no Testosterone. I've had 4 doctors tell me this has never been tested for long term use (Greater then 6 months) and is potentially (very) dangerous. Yet there ARE some doctors who will write a script for this. One that I talked to admitted that it might "Fry my brain" he continued to off this as a treatment!

On the other had I think that using hormones that are "identical" to human hormones vrs synthetics is not psudo science. Frankly I'm not clear why anyone would think so? Wyrth and the other Horse Urine synthetics have a large stake in this a billions to spend on advertisment and so forth.

Maybe less said about that the better. But I will tell you this. My wife is going on HRT and it WILL NOT be synthetics...

In most cases, such sites present a highly distorted, one-sided view largely based on a select few dubious, financially-oriented "yes-men" resources (many of wich may be interpreted in several ways), ignoring all the evidence to the contrary.

As expected, most of what they have to say about low t in this article is either misleading, poorly documented, distorted, or outright the opposite of reality (such as their claims re: heart disease, stroke & prostate cancer). Hardly surprising, perhaps, considering that:

"So-called testosterone replacement treatments are big business in the US where over the last 10 years, there’s been 10-fold increase in doctors prescribing the hormone, driven by direct advertising by drug companies, men’s heath clinics and by best-selling books with titles like Maximising Manhood, The Testosterone Revolution and Male Menopause."

Or the so-called bio-identical hormones scam:

In New Jersey health insurance companies must cover pre-existing conditions, no questions asked. It's the law. Of course there are only about four health insurance companies left in the whole state and it's expensive, but pre-existing conditions are absolutely covered. How about moving to Jersey?

These shots are so long acting. It has been about 5 weeks since my last and I still wake up hard every morning. I think they are even longer acting that real T.

Maybe you should be taking decadurabolin (nandrolone decanoate). It gives you the recovery and energy of testosterone but it will get rid of the bothersome erections and the need to release.

I concur about Deca! Actually, even better than Deca would be Equipoise. But its not approved in the USA for people. Though in other countries it is. That stuff gives maybe even more energy and, in my experience, burns fat and tones better than even testosterone, but with almost no increase in sex drive. But now I'm just dreaming of a free society again. . .

As for synthetics test. The truth is, synthetic test are not as synthetic as what some may think. It's actually real test with a modified molecule. Anyway, not unsafe really, But it is true that each form of testosterone feels different. (Even though technically, they are not supposed to) I dare a woman to use something like Sustanon for HRT. No matter how low the dose, it will virilize her. Prop is usually used on women over other test. It is less virilizing and also effective for sex drive at a lower doses. Bodybuilding women have gotten away with it and even cypionate. In Europe, these injectable testosterones have been used for TRT and Estrogen replacement therapy in women! See, injectable test, will raise estrogen grater than the test in Androgel, so docs sometimes have even used something like prop, for low estrogen in women. But something like methyl testosterone would give her leather skin. Whats always been odd to me, is that none of this info is ever in any medical studies, and certainly not medical books. Though, is well known in certain walks of life.

Balls or no balls, how am I supposed to get a doctor to prescribe that?

well since Deca not FDA approved, you will have to order it on internet gray market like most of the body builders do...

Deca is approved for HRT therapy. It is usually used in older men who want HRT but cannot tolerate testosterone aggravating their prostate gland. The rejuvenation clinic I have advertised here will prescribe it to anyone though. But now they are under new management and things may have changed.
