Test doses for HRT

Anyone here on HRT? What are the common doses? Thanks and K to all that know.

depending on your test levels it's usually around 200mg/week of cyp or enth. That seems to be the cookie cutter dose but i'm not sure of what the dose is on the test gel

Thanks. I was thinking of a maintenance dose of 200mg/10day. So this sounds good.

100mg/week is standard HRT dose

i don't know what's standard for hrt, but a year ago i got a doctor's script for 200 mg weekly of test cypionate and 200 mg weekly of nandrolone. people told me i wouldn't see much difference, but i gained 25 lbs. in six months and my strength level went to the moon. lots of people who haven't seen me in awhile say "have you been lifting weights?" i do eat a really clean diet and take creatine, protein, fish body oil, grape seed extract, pomegranate juice and on and on. that probably helps a lot too. i'm 56 years old.

I'm sure its Test E 200mg/every 2 weeks cause I get HRT.

Most HRT regimens use Test Cyp at 100mg/week. Anything more than that will put most people beyond the upper limit of Total Testosterone and Free Testosterone on your labs.

I cannot emphasize the important of labwork if you are doing HRT. Without it, (especially in the beginning) you are basically stabbing in the dark....and that is totally unnecessary on an HRT program that is properly administered by a good physician.

HRT is a legit long-term solution. If you are taking too little, you will not get anything from it...if you are taking too much, you are putting your health at risk since HRT is not cycled. High E2 is a common problem in HRT and if it is not addressed via proper dosing, you open the door to prostate problems.

If you are serious about HRT, check out Swale's protocol in the Men's Health forum here:

I did HRT for almost a year before I found Swale...it was one hell of a nasty rollercoaster ride.

200mg every two weeks or androgel 5 to 10mg a day.
