I think I just received the weekest TRT script in history.

as said above the esters will build up. but yeah if this doc isn't gonna listen to you then go somewhere else.

10 years of cycling I wonder if you gave yourself enough time between cycles to restore HPTA function

 

[Barch]

Yeah, that's a fairly standard protocol for TRT.

Steve I'm not going to lie and say I did every cycle perfect over the years and have wondered about my HPTA. What can I do to help this besides being on TRT?

I plan on going on trt in my 50's because I want to milk as much of my natural testosterone as possible.. the body produces it at no cost to you so might as well use it for as long as possible right?

so my suggestion would be to come off for a while and rely on natural/non suppressive supplements. i would do repeated blood tests and see if your LH and total T starts going higher. if it does then that is good and you can put off TRT for a little while longer.. if it doesn't then TRT is gonna be your option to consider. but its a big decision so i wouldn't decide on TRT without giving your body a shot first.

RADAR is in his early 60's and he still isn't on TRT yet so you can continue to cycle smartly for years to come

My GP finally started me on TRT after 6 weeks ago my test was 217 and Wednesday it was 97. He gave me "test cyp 200mg/ml. Inject 0.5 ml, (100 mg) every 2 weeks." I thought he was joking or that I was confused. He said I gave you more than I usually start people on. He of course wants to ease me up as needed but I think I could give my cat a dose this little! My goal is just to feel better but I am very worried this little drip of T is not going to put the pep back in my step.

The 100mg would be best every 5-7 days,,,by day 10 your levels will drop dramtically.
I see alot of docs doing this but its just from being poorly educated on the subject
I beleive.

When I went to see my GP about TRT he had been doing my blood work for years so he knew my history. Not saying I am an expert by any means bit he asked me what I would like to do.

I am 45 my first overall was 266 so I started 200 mg EW 400 units of HCG every 5 days. I was way to high on my Airimidex so I cut it back to .5 every 3 days. And now my overall is around 1000.

They say a normal range is from 300 to 800 give or take. Like Alin said at 2 weeks you will start to drop and feel bad. I have seen it happen to a couple friends on TRT.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys for all of your advice and comments are very helpful. I didn't add that my Dr. is also a friend and he has always listened very well to me about my goals and how I feel. I know he will work with me to get to the right level. We both just want me feeling better but he has always been cautious and I'm more "let's go to the limit." haha End of the day he's the doc and he's never steered me wrong in the past. I do believe I've educated myself just a little more on TRT than him though but would never tell him that. He was impressed with my comments on smaller more frequent doses to avoid spikes and valleys in my levels...but still gave me this roller coaster TRT. We'll see what happens when I go back.

I know your doc is being cautious but damn...docs are such shit heads.
First off you should be having a fit about every 2 week injections. Thats not going to do you any good at all. I'm cruising on 125mg wk and if I go 9-10 days I totally feel different.

100mg EOW is a joke. Any doc with any brains should know its going to take 100-150mg wk to get any normal guy into high normal range.

Sorry, not trying to rant but the whole medical approach to TRT by 98% of docs just pisses me off. They are more concerned with being overly cautious and not getting sued than helping most people.

 

[Soulthief]

Haha Burn this sounds just like me when I left and went to fill the script and saw the smurf size bottle! I was ranting in the car then lost it in the pharmacy when they asked if I needed syringes. I said no I'll just drink it and they went nuts! They thought I was serious and went on about how to pin. Then he gave me two pins. I said at least give me 4, one to pull, one to poke each time and they just stared at me. I was exhausted at this point and just gave up.
