now I get my bloods done every 12 month, up till recently was e 6 month.
I'd been on trt a while before I went to nebido and had a while sorting my dosage out, started at I think 12 week, then 10 now 8, may have started at 10 can't recall.
was pulling bloods very frequently to start with several times over 1st year or so.
I was pushed toward nebido by endo, NHS seem to prefer you to go this route with injs.
For me, I like it, the infrequent jabs suit me, my time and less jabs the better.
Nebido is administered by nurse in practice, prior to that I'd done my own test e or sus.
They prefer to administer nebido as its a large volume of oil in the ass for a patient ( I'm fine with it but their choice )
My bloods are good, generally but when I've run additional aas it does tend to skew things a bit and have been caught out by doc before when they did an unannounced blood test. Had I known it was due I'd of been off addition peds some time earlier..
docs not fcuking stupid though and just called me in for a 'chat'
Some have issues with the drop off they feel on nebido, and yeah I can understand but personally it's minimal. Round about 2 weeks prior to my shot my sleep starts to suffer and morning glory isn't always as glorious
But it's ok, not the roller coaster some claim.
Because I don't feel it I have my doubts it's as pronounced as some claim and I think there's a bit of Internet and Google 'research' that gets them paranoid and noticing stuff thats not there.
But, I appreciate everyone's somewhat different. ( but not entirely different species as you'd think )
it does drop off, that's the nature and action of it, if it didn't when would you schedule another shot ?
But from an NHS perspective they are keeping you in a range, if you're in you're in..
Start at normal to upper normal and readminister when you are bottom normal )
they're not concerned with henchness or your bench pb.
It's hormone replacement not enhancement.
see how you go that's about as much as I'd say, if it suits great, if not discuss with endo options maybe more frequent test e shots or go the self admin route and pay for bloods etc..
if you can stay under NHS umbrella I'd recommend that as with the best intentions your not an endo and guys on a Internet forum aren't likely either, and some bloods from companies who offer these services look sus at times I've read..
plus guaranteed pharma test.
