How Low should natty test be for TRT

[Fatboy1984]

I know alot of you guys on here are on TRT.
How low was your natural test levels before you started TRT?
And how low should they be to start TRT?

Also if you inject say 100mg of test ew for TRT, how much test does it show on your blood test ( like 500dl or somthing)
Thanks for any info

I think if you're under 35, you should do everything possible to raise natty T. TRT should be a last resort. In to her words, if at 45 you're consistently low, it ain't never gonna be high.

The total also depends on how much natty T you still produce even though peopel think you're shut down while on HRT. Not necessarily true. Also, Free T is the big factor. If your Free T is high you don;t need a hight total T. You can have a total T of over 1000ngs but if you have too much SHBG, you won;t feel the effects. In general, 100 mgs should put you around the 800ng mark.

is 76.5 pg/ml pretty low for free test?
Thanks for the reply nelson good info. Im askin for me, but im sure somone else will find this info valuable to themselvs too.

Yes that's very low. PG is picogram. 1pg= 1/10 of a nanogram... 1ml is 1/10 of a deciliter... so 76.5pg/ml is 76.5ng/dl... you should be in the 200-800 range for normal.

well my total test is 393 but my free test is 76.5. Is that really low. Ive always had depression problems and anxiety and def hold onto fat around my mid section. When i did my first cycle a acouple months ago i felt great. So im just triing to troubleshoot myself. I was just looking at a forum of people that started getting TRT and alot of them were in my ranges with there natty test levels. But they were older. Im only 24 and im gonna do one more cycle and afterwards im gonna do everything possible in PCT to get my natty test levels up and wait awhile and get a blood tests. If there super low i dont know what to do from there.

[Fatboy1984]

[iron_matt-CB]

[Fatboy1984]

anyone else on TRT that wants to join in. How old were you when you started it and what were your natty test levels? and do you regret it or no?

funny story, my wife may need to be put on testosterone. her natural level is (free test)1.2, with normal being 6-25 and her total test is 7 with normal being 11-56

 

[Fatboy1984]

haha what will she need to take. like 15mg a week to get in the right zone.

I started at 27 and stopped when my sperm count went to zero. I then came off and took clomid and have had results ranging from 444 to 562. Sperm count has slowly crept up but still only 1/5 my pre-hrt levels. I want to have kids or else I would still be doing it as I felt much better. I'm 28 now. was on for 8 months 100-150mgs/week.

 

[Fatboy1984]

yeah i have one baby girl. Might wait and have 1 more kid and than get on the TRT bandwagen. your test is up pretty good now though man? ever get a blood test when you were doing HRT, if so what were the results with 100-150? nelson said it would be around 800 with 100mg ew

 

[bblazer]

My total test was 35 and my FSH and LH were not measurable. My pituitary gland stopped functioning.

100 mg Test Cyp/week keeps me roughly at 400.
