Got prescribed 400mg/wk Test Cyp

[-SD-]

Bloodwork says my test is 468 on a 241-827 scale but got prescribed test anyhow i guess based on all the other factors. Is this high for beginning HRT? Should I only start off at 200mg/wk? I dont want to go too high to start off and basically go into "cycle" amounts, Im only 34, 5'10", 180 lbs.

sounds high to me for HRT. 100-200 is normal starting dose. i'll tell you what- I'd love to hook up with your doc- mine gave me testim.

From everthing I've read, yes, that's high. If your goal is to get to the top end of the "normal" range, 100 is good for some people, and more than 200 takes most people above the top end of the scale for testosterone in bloodwork. My doc recently started me on 100, and I've upped it to 200 myself, as I seem to be getting better results. I'd think 400 would be like being on a light steroid cycle (not that there's anything wrong with that). Keep in mind I'm no expert, as I've only been doing this myself for a very short time, but with 400 I think I'd be more concerned about side effects, estrogen conversion, etc.

I may kick it up later but i just started working out again and 400mg would basically be a cycle, except on a cycle you always should stop at some point and start pct, which isnt what HRT is about.

I would use 100 and save 300 every week. Or save it all. With 468 test level, you're in a lot better shape than lots of people on this board.
