Two Blood test results + TRT Guidance
Ok, I have now done two blood tests, which showed vastly different results, but ultimately, we're both pretty low.
They are spread 2 months apart, during this time I attempted to fully optimise what I can control, sleep, diet, training rest/recovery all where a solid 9/10, taking supplements like boron, zinc, vit D, magnesim, fish oils etc etc so I was extremely surprised to see things had almost halved in the test department.
The online test clinic I am using Numans (UK) want me to do a 3rd blood test for another £50 and then start treatment at £129 PCM which I'm some what reluctant to do as I can get the TEST Cypionate on the grey market for a fraction of the cost.
First time trying trt I would like to test out 150mg of test a week spread across two injections. My question is, what other products should I consider taking to remove any side effects? Is it worthwhile taking HCG to keep testicular sizing. I have children so shutting down natural sperm production isn't the worst thing for me.
I just want to limit the hair loss, any gyno etc
Also the clinic said they recommend injections SUBQ bit I have always known it to be in the glute? Has science changed or has that always been an option?
Sorry for the long post but some feedback would be great.
