went in for a blood test, had been ill for a while, test came back around 150, tested again a month later and same result. doc said hrt would be beneficial, i agreed, he prescribed me 2 shots of test cyp (had the first one a few days ago, will have the second one in another week and a half) and two pumps of androgel per day. i guess i could have asked for the shots instead but i dont see any real reason, besides, if my doc makes a little cash off the androgel i dont mind, good for him, hes a cool dude.
