(trans)prose

After 26 months on a 10-day injection cycle, I’ve decided to switch to a 14-day schedule.  The few shots that I’ve missed have never had a noticeable effect on me, and I feel like my body is pretty stable… so, I figure, the fewer shots, the better.  I’ve had more than 80 shots since 2007.

Aveed (the new name for Nebido/testosterone undecanoate) is still stuck in FDA limbo, and I’ve slowly started to prefer the idea of the implant to long-term injections.  Namely, Testopel would minimize highs and lows in my testosterone levels, and after the initial start-up cost, I suspect that the cost and maintenance would be about equal to (if not less than) Aveed or Cypionate.

However, I’m waiting to explore these options until this summer, when things with school and work have calmed down significantly.  If the doctor in my area won’t treat me, I’m fairly positive that the urologist in the next town over will.
