    Majority of urologists and endocrinologists have no clue about how to prescribe testosterone replacement therapy. And the thing that sucks is that they don’t want to learn either.

    There’s an individual factor that’s at play as well. I do 200/week with 1x im injection every Monday morning. I never had a problem with it, but also tried the 2x/week, and the daily with no noticeable difference in feeling or in lab results. So I went back to 1x a week. My little brother did 1x a week at 150mg but noticed distinct changes in behavior/feeling well, and energy waning the closer to the end of the week it got. For him 3x a week provides noticeable stability. He also has more negative reaction on his labs than I do even at the lower dose.

    I went from 300mg every 3 weeks to 200mg every 2 weeks to an increased dose of 150mg weekly. The weekly regimen is much better. I no longer have dips in energy, mood, or gym recovery when on the weekly dose.

    Something that is very misunderstood is that due to the 8 day half life of test-c, your highs are actually the same whether you inject once a week or split twice a week. However, the the valley remains much higher when injecting twice a week. Twice a week is far superior.

    For me - taking multiple injections per week was actually worse for hematocrit and estradiol. It’s not good, in my opinion, to have your hormones pegged all the time with no fluctuation as what happened with multiple injections. I like having a big spike and having a taper down - just feel better this way.

    Hi friends I’m taking testosterone cypionate 200mgml 0.75ml intramuscular every 14 days. I’m 62 and really haven’t notice any improvement for past 6 months. My last dose last week I had a severe allergic reaction that lasted. 5 days . The injection by the nurse hurt to bad and the injection site was swollen and red an hour afterwards then I started getting phantom pain in my other arm that I didn’t get the injection in. Feeling like someone was giving me an actual injection but it was only imaginary. I was going crazy and my urologist wouldn’t respond to my calls or emails..
    I know gave such an adverse reaction to any injections I don’t want to them anymore. I can’t go back to this.. can I just take six months off right now and try something else.
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

      @aizenor3063 you my friend are experiencing fade! The initial boost you feel is fading. That blows mind that a lot of doctors still prescribe one injection every two weeks! My doctor was doing the same thing to me, and he wouldn't increase my dose or frequency of injections, so I went to another doctor who actually understands and I take 200mg every seven days. Before I started testosterone, my number was only 300, and at 200mg every two weeks, it only went to 434. I begged that doctor and told him I still felt terrible, but he wouldn't increase my dose, so I told him to get lost and found a doctor that was up to date when it comes to understanding how to properly dose testosterone.

    You know I'm on 200 mg a week and the fact that any doctor would say take one shot every 2 weeks is absurd and sadly people who just listen to their normal doctor apparently haven't done enough research. When I switched from doing an injection two times a week. I do a shot on Monday of 100 mg and then another hundred milligrams on Thursday and this really helps me from having highs and lows

      You're right. Most test clinics are just cash grabs anyhow. The markup they put on that stuff is RIDICULOUS. If you like your 200 a week , then you would love sus 250 @ .57 every day. At 400 a week, most people (probably yourself included) don't have to worry about estrogen until it's time for pct. If you like the way you feel at 200 A week, you could just do .10 Subcu and reap the benefits of different peaking esters.

    Me myself. After going to trt. First two docs put on 250 mg T enathate per week.. and then a 2 weeks off. For me would make no sence. But after that since I chanced my to another doc.
    My dose to feel OK.. works for me. Is 0.3 ml of 75 mg every 3 days.... like Monday.. then Thursday.. and son on...
    We tried the same with 0.5 every 3 days. But I personally have a lot of androgen receptors.. that makes me more sensitive.. so wer on 0.3 ml every 3 days.
    Over time.. After a year.. instead of pushing the dose. I was put on pregnenolone 2 times a day and morning 20 mg dhea. And just feelt amazing After 2 weeks... and so on. Just keep your labs in. Check .. at Keats 2 to 3 times a years. Make sure you evaluation of all the thyroid markers . Etc.. and make sure you don't start with a high dose.. specially if you're not active enough.. and you above 12% body fat.
    I was very active.. and I my body fat is always inbetween 9% to 11%.
    Labs in Check and what you feel over time is important.
    And if your going to take the path .. make sure to get a doc you can speak freely.. and make sure he understands you.. and he tries to help you...and he runs another tests just to make sure your ok. All the best... for everyone.

      And I must say. In the past before some traumas. I was 1000s...1200s natural. Bur anyways.
      No more than 0.5 ml enathate for me and I feel good on the same ever 3 day pinning. I came from those levels then felt weird then blood work "ok" 720 something.
      Then after 6 months weird..
      Then just revealed in one lab 380s
      Week after other lab 270s..
      But I was always on the higher or higher than the normal range. And never feeling bad. bur what happens happens. At least I had many years rhe chance to get to know what it was like. So I could just stay away from antidepressants and other stuff. Just tappering benzos. But under the supervision of a patient and wide doctor.
      Otherwise I would tapper alone and feel way more down than the normal tapper.

    I'm thinking about going back on TRT after two year absence and I'm still confused as hell about dosing frequency tbh. I went from semi-weekly Sustanon to daily and it nuked my libido, I'm wondering would it be different on Test Cyp though?

    • @dwayne5864
      @dwayne5864 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Very different. Sustanon has multiple esters that each last in your system for different lengths of time. It's not ideal for keeping your levels constant. Switch to a test with one ester then dial your shot frequency based around the half life of that ester. Test C is preferred, it has a half life of around 5 to 7 days. So a once a week shot will be fine for most people keeping their levels fairly constant. Increasing to two shots a week at half the dose is even better for maintaining constant levels. The more constant your levels are the better you will feel and the less chance of side effects. More frequent shots at a lower dose is always better. Good luck.

      100mg every 2 weeks is w-a-a-a-a-y too low; at the end of that 2 weeks your testosterone levels are probably lower than before you started TRT. The minimum dose should be 100mg per week and higher if you want to gain some muscle. Honestly, your doctor has no idea what he is doing and I would recommend going to a hormone replacement specialist. My TRT clinic currently has me taking a 200mg infection once per week and I feel great on that. FYI, I'm 68 years old and still workout hard.
