Update: AndroGel 1.62%
I really wish I had stayed on AndroDerm.
In an odd turn of events, AndroGel isn’t working properly. I’ve had four periods, the first one in October ‘16, the most recent one being this January ‘17. I don’t really know what to do at this point but wait it out.
My endo seemed really surprised that my period made a reappearance, in full force mind you, with absolutely no signs it was coming. He had me change where I applied the AndroGel and then ordered bloodwork 6 weeks out. I’m poor so 6 turned into 8.
I got the bloodwork done yesterday. I called his office and told his assistant that if the blookwork came back with unsatisfactory results, perhaps the best thing to do was go back to injections.
I really can’t afford to pay so much for treatment that isn’t working and injections is loads fucking cheaper. Right now it’s costing 1k/y in T alone vs >$300/y for injectable.
He’s probably going to want me to increase the number of pumps per dosage but again, it comes down to the #’s game. Financially speaking it’s an extra 1 to $200/y.
I’m just getting really overwhelmed. I have therapy tomorrow morning, I hope I feel better afterwards but who knows.
