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

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.
