Hi everybody I want to ask if anybody has tried these gonadotropin shots because we all have low lh and fsh? My Doc has mentioned it when I last talked to him.
I’d tried triptorelin 100 mcg a few times. It gave me better baseline hormone levels. It didn’t do anything for the symptoms though. It’s worth a try if you have low hormones, but don’t expect a miracle…
Have you had blood tests done if so what were your results ?
It’s great to hear that you have consulted a doctor alot of people miss the importance of this or give up due to doctors accepting that Finasteride can create these issues my advice is try to stick with getting medical help keep an open mind as to doctors suggestions and what is causing your symptoms let a professional do the diagnosing.
Anything is worth a shot if it’s being done in a controlled manor with blood tests to work from it’s certainly the most efficient way to go at things.
Ok thats interesting how did you take it and how long?
Yeah I had bloodwork a couple month ago. Low testosteron, lh, fsh and that stuff. I was actually on accutane not fin.
I had it injected intramuscularly. I think it was done once every 3 months for 3-4 times in total, it was about 3 years ago so I don’t remember it very well. It can shut your hormones down permanently if used frequently or in high doses.
I have read a lot about it but I’m not a doctor. So I understand it like our brain produces it every couple hours so the injections should not have depot and have to be done every 3 hours. If you take a shot every month or week with depot it will bring your hormone levels even more down. So I’m really interested if someone tried those daily cicles. A side effect of accutane is that your acne gets worse first 2-4 weeks than start slowly getting better and I think we have a connection at this point. Hope you can understand me my english is not very good
