Greetings.....
I am 52 years old and I started TRT in March of this year with a local office of a national chain providing these services. During the initial consultations and prior to beginning treatment, my Testosterone level was measured as 350 on 02/25 and 406 on 03-15, which is within "normal" levels according to conventional wisdom. Other than being overweight, I really did not have any other medical concerns, other than about five years of being considered "pre-diabetic" with Glucose ranging from 102-116 during those years and approximately ten years of my Cholesterol being just over 200. I felt reasonable overall, but I wanted to see if there was anything I would receive from TRT.
I did three months of TRT, 180 mg test c per week, though that clinic and paid about $150 per month, doing injections at home. I quickly became frustrated with my second and third monthly shipments arriving a week to ten days late, which required me to visit the clinic in order to inject myself there. The small irritation with this led me to seek out other options.
I researched and found another company, which would send me approximately 2.5 month supply at once, basically a 10ml vial, for only $100 per month. I ordered my first supply, replacing the local clinic, and injected 200 mg per week. Just prior to completing my ten week supply, I ordered another 2.5 month supply from them. I felt that $250 for a small vial of "liquid" was potentially excessive, although it was less than using my local clinic. I will pay $50 for a good steak at a nice restaurant, without even thinking twice, but I probably would not want to do so if I was cooking and eating it at home. It was not about not being able to afford the first two options, it was about exploring what options existed.
After just under six months of 180mg - 200mg test c per week, I felt amazing. Even though I had not had any ED issues, I can tell you it felt like I was 16 and my wife would vouch for that with a big smile on her face. I started simply doing pushups at home, initially only being able to 4-5 at a time, to doing 30 at a time 3x's per day. This took about 3 months, and to be honest, I was feeling good about the results.
Prio to opening the second vial, I decided to order test c from a UGL which seemed to have a reasonable reputation, or at least as good as one could expect when you are taking substances such as this. I purchased from US inventory and I only paid about $50 per vial, which was significantly less than what I was paying at the other two places. Also, I wanted a benchmark to see what my bloodwork looked like after 5 months of TRT through "official" sources prior to beginning with the UGL.
I did not open the second vial from the second company, instead began taking 250 mg per week from the UGL product.
I am attaching my bloodwork results from the approximately 5 1/2 months I was on TRT from the first two companies.
My bloodwork was amazing! My primary care doctor was dumfounded by how much things had improved. I had agreed that while I was on "TRT" I would get bloodwork every three months and send him the test results.
I have more to add to my story, which is a daily work in progress, but I wanted to give an adequate introduction to my quest for a better me.
