Having just about completed my HT injections I am faced with the continuing issues of low testosterone levels for a while. Low T levels allows high levels of oestrogen and other side effects to disrupt my body. Has anyone had any experience in trying to get T back to normal levels please?

My testosterone remained low for quite some time after finishing HT at 6 months it was 1.5 nomal range is about 10 to 30. At nine months I noticed I was getting erections and at my next testosterone test it was 17.6 so back in the normal range. So for me the recovery of testosterone was very slow and then a sudden rise. Doctors are worried about giving prostate cancer patients testosterone replacement therapy so you will find it a challenge getting it if you need it. I think I would suggest wait at least one year after your last HT injection and then if no improvement start trying to get testosterone replacement therapy.

Sorry but I forgot to ask how you manage to measure your T levels?

I asked the GP nurse to do it at the same time as the psa test. She said,has it been requested by the hospital? I mumbled something which took as a yes, so it was done. I believe you can have test privately at a cost of about £30 if you can't get gp to do it.
