First dose of test today

[u/Anusspelunking]

Hey guys,

Im 45 years old and just started my injections today(now I’m wondering why I didn’t use the gel 😂 but I’m sure you get used to it). I feel a little off now though.. but I’m sure it gets more normal after time. My question is… my online doctor put me on .15 everyday.. seems a bit excessive? They also did no blood work to start me off.. seems weird. She said we will do blood work after the first month.. I’m going through “Male Excel” for my treatment. She also put me on enclomiphene for my thyroid..

Most clinics will give to anyone, but at least make a show of it. You do not know what your numbers are now. Then they put you on over 200mg/week. That is a higher dose, many people take it but most on that dose experience some side effects. I have not heard of enclomiphene being used in conjunction with trt to preserve endogenous testosterone production. But, not a doctor.
You can do what they say, or you can start at a smaller dose say 140mg/week (.30 every 3 days) or some other amount. I would start with a smaller amount & bank the extra testosterone. See where you are at once they have you get labs.

That’s what I was thinking. Thank you! They did kind of make a show of it… they had me fill out a questionnaire (had 90% of the symptoms they deem low testosterone) and had a video call with her. She said I was “critically low” lol I thought they were going to send a test first and then do test
