hope im posting in the right thread, sorry if im not. I got blood work done this week and it showed that i have low test levels. im 32, 5'11 and 180lbs. Im a cyclist and lift on a detailed program. diets in check as well. been feeling off for awhile now and not gaining like other athletes i train with. anyways, im wanting to raise my levels of test up to normal or slightly above normal levels. im seeing a hormone therapy dr. next week. Any specific test that would be good for this? just curious to see what you have to say, before i hear what he says. thanks for you time.
Testosterone

Welcome and when you say is there any specific test good for this , do you mean testosterone or lab test to get done? Wasn't sure what you meant by Test
your dr will likely prescribe testosterone gel but if you can ask for injectable testosterone and see what he says.

This....
First of all, you will need to see what your levels come back after they draw blood, etc.
Then the doc should be able to outline all the options available.
If you have a say I would stay away from transdermal gels if possible- injectables are the optimal option, but the doc will let you know.
There is also a recoup period post test therapy with a combination of hcg, clomid and/or nolvadex- a doc worth his weight will explain this in detail.
Keep us posted.

welcome to MC
being that your levels are low i would try to get injectable. i told my doctor i had a gf and 3 young boys which is true but it makes it a lot less likely he would prescribe gel because of chance it may rub off on gf or kids. i told him straight up my gf sleeps on my shoulder and my boys wrestle with me all the time so he gave me 100mg cypionate a week. quite a few guys on MC are on HRT so any question you may have feel free and we are pretty open/honest

100mg a week is usually prescribed and keeps my levels between 600-800. what you mean by keeping it kind of chill?
tks everybody for the great feed back. my blood tests showed that i was in the 300's. getting up to the 700-800 would be great. by keeping it chill, i ment not going crazy and really going above and beyond what i need. i will keep you guys posted on what the dr says this week. Eswol, i have 2 kids already and yes you are right they are blessings!! Tks again everybody, really enjoying my experience on this website. God bless
so i saw the actual Dr. today. good news is that he wrote me a prescription for test cyp. but i cant start till next week. we are running a few more blood tests on my thyroid and other stuff to double check i dont have another problem thats causing the low test levels. my free was 1.9 and my reg test level was 384. he said we are going to start me off with 200mg a week and wants to get me to ave around 800-1000 for my test levels, but he said he is hoping for more like 1000. i will keep u posted on how it turns out. im very anxious to just start already!

your level aren't super low as it is so you should easily get to 1000 with 200mg a week

He'll yeah, that's great. You sure he's a real Doctor, mine wouldn't give me shit, and I was at 283. Lets wait 3 months he says, fuck that says I.
lol, ya im sure he is a real dr, or atleast he better be because he gave me a full physical, which is never too enjoyable. He is also on the stuff, thats why he prob was so into giving it to me. He also just seemed to think it had a lot of positive health benefits as well. He said i could do the cream if i wanted, but that he preferred injections. i quickly said that im fine with the injections. the 200mg is a starting number, he said to come back in a month and he will check my levels and adjust from there. so i may go down after a month.

That's inspiring to hear, sounds like your set.
you should start to feel the cypionate in a couple weeks bro, your energy should sky rocket and mood should elevate as will your strength

im going to warn you about riding the bike at the gym. make sure there are no hot women. I had a hard on for an hour and I only planned on riding the bike for 20 mins. ur sex drive is going to increase a whole lot even if u didn't think you had a problem in that area you will be extremely horny. if you have a wife or gf they will be quite pleased with you chasing them around the house. if your single well nevermind
