Malleable journal - nervous but hopeful

To respond to your earlier question about TRT: if your levels have dropped off even with consistent testosterone therapy, I would make sure that your doses have been accurately metered out. At the moment I can't recall if you were using pellets. In general, from everything I've read, I can't really recommend pellets. The dosing is quite inconsistent with this method and also doesn't appear to deliver the same peak to testosterone levels that regular injections do

I'm sorry Duke, I must have mentioned that my wife is taking testosterone and estrogen pellets every four months.

It has really energized our sex life

I've never taken any testosterone treatment, I wanted to get your opinion about me going from 880 T to 660 T in the last three years. My primary doctor says that 660 is adequate, but I just don't get as horny as I did 2 and 3 years ago.
When my urologist doc tested my levels before I got the implant, I was at 880.

I have a FrankTalk friend in Dallas, Texas that uses Androgel and it has worked for him, I can't remember how many times a week or daily that he uses it. He is 70

Do you think that it would be beneficial to see if I could get my levels back to 880?

Thanks Duke,
SWorks

SWorks — Sorry I mis-remembered! But yes, I think it's worth looking into TRT to get your levels back up. A lot of guys are chasing a specific number, but really what you should be looking for is amelioration of conditions. A lot of guys think their T should be near 1,000, but really you should just dose the amount that helps you feel your best. Your PCP is going to feel like anything within the (very broad) reference range of 300 to 900 or what-not is normal. You might have to go with a TRT clinic.

Androgel is kind of tough because it's inconvenient, greasy, smells, and you can't touch anyone directly with it or you'll give them a dose on accident. I'd get your levels tested again and see what your numbers look like. But as always: check the other stuff too. How's your sleep and stress? I assume you're eating well to keep up with all the bicycling you do. If everything else is the same or normal, I'd think about it. Also, check your "free" testosterone, which is arguably even more important than the total T number.

Great update and congrats on the promotion, the boss evidently see's the confidence you have in yourself, which is a big thing in the ED world, sort of taps into the mental health part of life.
Take every step in life like you own that sidewalk, hold your head high, shoulders back, keep a positive thought and good things will happen in your world that you never dreamed possible.

Thank you, sir!! Without your encouragement early on in this forum, I might not have gone through with the malleable. But here I am!!

i m on 05ml every week from my doctor and my T level was always around 300 then few months ago added D3 10000IU k2 120mcg Boron 6mg and my T level is around 950 ...try those Trip supplement for 3months and check ur T level .good luck

I've heard good things about boron ... I'm worried about taking that much Vitamin D, though! You take that every day? When's the last time you've had those levels checked? Vitamin D is toxic at high doses.

Thanks for the info Duke, I appreciate your help.

My sleep and stress levels are good. I'll go to my wife's wellness clinic where she gets her HRT treatments and get checked myself, like you said in your reply, it's more about feeling right than going too far.

Thanks again for your help,
SWorks
