Well I officially have low T. I had blood work done by my PCP, and my Total T came back at 389. I then changed my diet, starting exercising more, and dropped a large amount of weight. Got some more blood work done, and my T T went up to the mid 400 s. My PCP decided to schedule me with an endo for extensive blood work to see if I would be a candidate for TRT/HRT. As it turns out the soonest my endo would be able to set an appointment is Sept 18 2018. Now not wanting to wait that long I purchased a blood work panel from Private MD Labs who sent me to my local LabCorp. My results came back at 340. My PCP agrees that I would be an excellent candidate for TRT, but with a wait of over a year to see my endo I have decided to self medicate. My PCP is aware that I will be taking this route, and wants me to keep her informed so she can run the proper blood test to monitor my health accordingly.
Now my question is when I finely do go to see my endo in just over a year, how long should I stop pinning so that the Test will clear my system to show my low levels so I can be picked up by Medicaid?
Now I know the half life of Test cyp is 8-12 days, but is that enough time from the last pin for my T lvls to drop back to normal (being low in this case) lvls?
P.S. Since I am on ObamaCare there are only 2 endos in my area that are available to me, the sept 2018 appointment was the soonest.
My PCP can't put me on any type of Hormone therapy due to working for Daughters of Charity which is run by Nuns who do not allow Hormone therapy. Yes I just said my Nuns run my PCP. Its ****ing insane I know.
I wanted to post a link to my Blood Work, but when I try the forum tells me I need 25 post before I can post links.
