Hello. 46 year old male here who was just prescribed testosterone by my doctor. My total level was less than 100, so it's actually needed. I've read a ton on here and so far I think my prescribed dose is not the best way. It's 200 mg test cyp one time a month. I've talked with him about changing it to weekly or even once every two weeks but he doesn't want to budge on it. He wants me to wait a few more months until my next bloodwork is due and recheck it. Should I wait or try to go another route?
 
You need to find a new doctor. I’ve seen some bad protocols and that’s probably the worst one I’ve ever seen in my life.
From everything I've read, I'm thinking you're absolutely right! I feel like ass all the time, with the exception of a few days after my shot

That's a grossly insufficient protocol, your doctor doesn't have a qualified understanding of hormone replacement.

Give him this reading material.

The Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guidelines for testosterone therapy suggest an alternative of either 75 to 100 mg IM weekly or 150 to 200 mg IM every 2 weeks (3)


You have valid concerns with the care you are receiving is inadequate and causing you issues, if he will not take them seriously find a new, more qualified, more professional doctor.
