Hello everyone,
Sorry to write this in english but I am an expat living here in the Netherlands and I would like to find some tips/suggestions on how to face some issues I am having lately.
I am in my forties, had depression and anxiety all my life, I take some antidepressants and lately I have been found to have low testosterone (6,2 nmol/l on a range of 9 and 35). I strongly believe I suffer of hypogonadism.
It was actually my idea to have a blood test for testosterone (not my psychiatrist).
In the last week I documented myself about low-t, trying to understand how to face this problem in the most effective way. I am not a bodybuilder but I found this forum and it looks like a good place to have some advice.
I had a bad experience with an urologist giving me androgel (that I didn't use) not even mentioning that I could lose my fertility on it (wtf?). I had to discover these 'details' by myself.
I booked a visit at the Andros clinic in Ams as it is the only one I could find online that deals with TRT. I would like to ask if someone has been there and would like to share some tips.
I see that in regard of TRT you need to be pro-active and, for example. test your blood really often, especially in the first period. How do you manage this? As here it looks like they give you some medication and then ask you to come back in 3 months, which is probably too long of a time. Do here in the netherlands provide HCG?
So, any tip/suggestion is warmly welcome and sorry again to write in english
