Some good news about HRT. Kinda.

[GoneForever]

Had a chance to talk to my dad's endo today. My dad is 60 and is on 150mg per week of test cyp and a little over 1iu of GH every morning. His levels came back a little over 1000 and the range for test is 220-850. I asked my endo about this and he said its perfectly ok to be in that range. He said my dads cholestrol,hemocrit,estrogen,rbc and something else came back normal and thats all that matters. He said too many dr's are anal about keeping their patients on too low of test doses just to keep them in the range. He said whats the point of staying in the middle of the range when you could be at the high end if not higher and reap all the benefits of fatloss, and other stuff that test will do to prolong life. He said bloodwork is key and if everything comes back normal, then it doesnt matter if your on 100 or 250mg of test per week.

Your Dad has found a great doctor. Wish my doctor was like that. I am going to be looking for a new one soon.
