I had the same thing except from an in-clinic consult about my general health.

Testosterone supplementing was presented like "Well levels vary to each man but some do a little better with more so it could help your endurance and energy levels."

Ok sure, why not? They're a doctor right? Trust experience? Trust science? All that?

I got a shot 2 or 3 times but then quit it. I'm so freaking glad I did, after I discovered all these accounts about it causing heart problems, possibly reproductive issues, and all this other crap. It was difficult to find someone who was actually glad they did it.

Happy with the hormone levels I've got, thank you very much.

I felt so scammed, like I was just used as some "lead" for another clinic to profit from me over something that potentially would cause a ton of long-term harm.
