AM I YOU?![]()
Just tell him you didn't feel comfortable with that much testosterone in your system. My urologist has been accomodating (grudgingly, I think) to let me experiment and find the level of sex hormone that best suits me. I was on monthly shots of Depo Provera before getting into the alcohol injections. My T level then was 97 and suited me quite well. After doing the injections and castration, it went down to 44 and had the mildest of osteopina. He suggested that I start with either estrogen or testosterone. I felt the T would fit my situation best. We used gel so it was easily controlled. He originally wanted me up at least to 350 but I said I'd probably be happy much lower. We played with different dosages at 3 or 4 week intervals to experiment. The highest test was almost 750 so I showed I knew what that was like. When he knew I was serious and pleased with being low but slightly above castrate level he gave his blessing. My last test was 122 and I've tweaked my dose slightly lower since then.
Be assertive, you've gone this far to do what you felt was right for you- now have the balls to stay there.
