An endo I saw for help with low testosterone, came recommended by a friend who is in the health industry. I was severely disappointed both times I saw him. As he told me, he gets a lot of beefy guys coming through his door looking for drugs, and as I'm a beefy guy (which is funny because I don't think of myself as big at all) he is going to be super wary. So there was never a lot of trust in this relationship.
I understand where he's coming from, but still, it was very frustrating for him to not trust me at all. He also kept asking me if I've ever used steroids. I kept telling him the truth, that I haven't, but I don't think he ever believed me. On one level I found that to be kind of a complement, but on another it's a bit insulting that he kept assuming me a liar.
I told him that my wife and I are trying to conceive he told me that he wouldn't treat me until we succeeded, as taking just testosterone can cause male fertility problems. When I asked about Clomid therapy or HCG monotherapy his response was "Look if you are just here for drugs save us both time and leave." As a white, somewhat attractive, male, this was my first experience of being negatively judged based on my appearance, which I found fascinating.
I decided this relationship wasn't working and moved on to find a more open-minded, less judgmental trt doctor.
I do not know his trt protocol, but it wouldn't surprise me if it is the old, conservative protocol of one injection every two weeks, which doesn't work for many people. Given his stubbornness, he also strikes me as a guy who wouldn't change his protocol to fit an individual's needs. read more
