Nelson and Others: HRT Test Question

[jh1]

How much test would be used to bring test levels to the normal range for someone that is completley shut down?

What ester is most commonly used, etc. ?

In men 20-50 years of age, an intramuscular injection of 200 to 300 mg testosterone enanthate is generally sufficient to produce serum testosterone levels that are supranormal initially and fall into the normal ranges over the next 14 days

What do you mean by completely shut down? Is your T level like 10?

The standard is 200 mgs every two weeks, but that leaves you flat after day 10 or so. I was using 200 mgs a week but found my libido was better (which is all that matters) at 100 mgs every 5 days. That also brought my T to just over 800, which is right where I want it. If your testicles are totally atrophied, you may need more. And you may want to do some HCG to get the boys back in town first. Then, when it starts to wear off, (you no longer have morning wood), start the HRT.

Nelson / Panerai -

Thanks for the replys. Actually my test levels are fine. I was just curious, I was wondering how your natural test levels compare to the amount of gear some people use.

This puts it in perspective.

It will definitely vary from person to person. However, a study carried out in young men bySinha-Hikim et al. (AM J PHYS END METAB, 283, 2002, pp E154-E164) is very interesting. The men whose ages ranged from 18-35 were given a drug to suppress ther natural testosterone levels. They were then treated with varying leves of testosterone enanthate once per week. Just 125 mg was able to restore pretreatment free and total testosterone levels which were in the middle of the normal range. Just something to think about.

What would this be equivalent to if using Androgel?
