Testopel Weight Gain

Im a 51 year old male with long standing testosterone issues. Several years ago my T level was 113. I was placed on Androgel1.0 then Androgel 1.62. Both had little to no effect. The Doc started giving me T shots every 2 weeks and the results were better but I still felt worn down. After my T levels fell to 118 in early November 2013 I had testopel pellets inserted. My sleep pattern INSTANTLY improved. The following morning I was awake at 5:39 am. Improved sleeping and intermittent burst of energy are the only benefits I have noticed. Since the Testopel insertion 25 days ago I have gained 13 pounds while keeping the same diet and have not thought about intercourse once. Has anyone had similar results? Any thoughts?

Hello, Jimmy! How are you?

Has the doctor checked your other hormone levels? There may be something else out of whack and not just your testosterone.

When do you go in for another check?

I just had my 1 month follow up and my T levels had risen from 118 to 465 but my estrogen had also gone to 44. My Doctor put me on Anastrozole to help with aromatase. I only take two .5mg pills every other week. I'm not sure if that's enough to help.

I've had my cortisol levels checked twice. The first time the Doctor was concerned but on the follow up the results were perfectly normal. I'm doing a 24 hour urine iodine and bromine diagnostic this weekend. I'm hypothyroid and I believe it's from excess bromine inhibiting the iodine from working with my thyroid. Low T, hypothyroid, sleep apnea and critically low vitamin D made it tough to stay awake most days but CPAP has helped tremendously with the sleep apnea and 5,000 IU of vitamin D each day have taken care of that issue. Now if I can get the thyroid and low T under control I might feel human again.

.I am trying ti lose weight. I workout 3 times a week for at least 1.25 hr and many times 2 hrs. I walk 2.5 to 3.25 miles daily. Towards the last month of the 4 month Testopel cycle weight comes off and I was down to 203#. On the 1st month of Testopel I went up to 208 so far...very frustrating.
