Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and new to TRT. I had several years of fatigue and loss of passion in pretty much all areas of my life. I received no answers from conventional doctors. I tried a health clinic and found I had low T. Had a few total testosterone labs done. All were between 100-300 (Test range 348-1197). Clinic Physician wanted to start me on pellets. I got a second opinion from an Endo. Of course the labs he requested put me at 300 total T. He would not treat because I was in range. Ridiculous for a 34 year old. So I went with pellets. I received the one and only pellet treatment about 5 months ago. Unfortunately I didn't do much research myself until the pellets were all ready in. I had about 3 great weeks out of the last 5 months. 4 of the pellets to date have worked their way out. Estradiol peaked at 59, Total test peaked at 1400. Free test at 25. The last labs prior to pellets were: total - 150, Free - 1.59. I am thinking for going with Defy Medical and weekly injections as chasing levels on pellets is impossible. Previous clinic did not check proper pre labs. Talked to Defy already, labs are done, waiting on call back.
Question - what is the best way to transition from pellets to injection? Do I have to come completely off pellets ( they are about done anyway)? This site is amazing. Wish I would have found it before starting pellets, would have saved me a lot of headache.
