What's your TRT dose?

[Liquid 2009]

Just curious for those who are on TRT - What is your dose? What have you noticed different from before being on TRT? Has it improved your life - if so, how?

Did it take you awhile to find the right dose?

Do you notice more if you use HCG, etc?

 

[Saiyan7]

My dose is 120mg cyp per week. It has definitely made a difference. I'm a younger guy and was in the gutters for energy. It was also hard to gain muscle. I started at 140mg and they lowered it to 120 after a few months. Everything has been better. Gains are flowing freely. Energy is high. Sex life is better than ever. Even for a younger guy.
Never tried HCG.

 

[trt newbie]

I'm on 200 cyp doctor prescribed I've never tried hcg either but I was the same as sayin sex drive was full

 

[trt newbie]

Dull* and energy was too and I was also having trouble building muscle. I started out with 100 went back to doctor and my levels were lower then before so he upped me to 200 now I feel like a fucking beast in every aspect. Love this shit.. Especially adding other compounds to it

46 yr old on test cyp every two week injections 200MG. Really like it, definitely helped in the gym and life in general.
The dose was correct first time out.
I am a little more aggressive at work and in life in general...which is not a bad thing.
Dr. found the low number after my generic physical/blood test.

Standard is 150-200 every 2 weeks. However you will get much better results with 80-100 per week. It's the same amount but has much less swing. If you ask your endo I have never had one not be willing to let me doing half as much twice as often.
It takes about 4weeks for you to stabilize on the new dose then they run blood again to see where you are and adjust as needed then 4 weeks then more blood.
Also as long as you are not totally shut down your Test level will be lower 1st thing in the morning.

There are some clinics that do 200 a week but they are almost always ones that can't take insurance due to not properly making sure you need it and not correcting with right doses. I call these grey market clinics. They also exist for HGH and diet meds.
With a non-shady DR following approved methods and dose your insurance should pay for almost everything.

 

[trt newbie]

I'm on 200 a week

 

[polarbear1134]

I'm on 200 a week

And is your insurance covering it all? Because 200 a week is not a replacement dose.
200 a week should have you close to 2000 and normal varies by age but about 400-1400
So even if your body made 0 at all 200 a week would shoot you way past normal for a 18 year old. That is not a correct TRT dose. That is a low level steroid cycle being given by a doctor trying to hide it as TRT and smells of a no insurance allowed clinic

 

[trt newbie]

No it's a doctor going threw insurance. PPO. I've been on this dose for 6 months now and just got my bloods done by him to see where I'm at. Haven't got the results back but I will definitely keep you guys posted. They should be here in a week or so. I'm just praying there not too high because I feel like a fucking champ lol. I'm 26 by the way I have no fucking clue why they were low in the first place it was before I ever touched anything. I went in for normal blood work and it came back low. I kind of had a feeling tho because my sex drive wasn't as high as it should have been I only wanted to have sex like once a week of that I would go like 3 weeks without wanting t have sex my girlfriend didn't like it at all. But now we have sex at least 4 or 5 times a week

I think 200mgs a week is a good dose.

 

[Liquid 2009]

I was given 300mgs every 10 days. By a legit Endo and covered.

I'm hoping so like I said I'm feeling great on 200

If he gave you 300 a week hes looking to lose his license. They are not allowed to give you a dose that will put you at over double the 99th percentile of a 18 year old. Correction is back into the normal range. Not over double the highest spot in normal at the age that its the highest.,,Dr's like this are the ones getting busted on TV every week We just had a whole clinic get shut down in the Aljeser report to giving improper doses and off label doses to athletes...now he's going to jail.

There is no way your DR is going to be able to justify in court when normal is about 400-1400 (best age group) why he thought he should send yours to almost 3000...

Idk I was on 100 a week at first and when I went back in I was lower then what I was without it without I was around 450 when I was on 100a week I was like 435 now I'm on 200 a week and feel great the doctor told me I should be around 900 at my age

 

[trt newbie]

Everyone is different too people absorb the compound differently and at different rates. Just sayin

DRs test right before your shot...so you were not at 435 you were at a week low of 435 meaning a peak of about 900 and average of about 675...if he puts you are 900 for your low your high will be about 2000 which is way too high. On TRT they give you a dose that swings from the high side of normal to the low side of normal. If what you said is true then your DR is a complete moron who is prescribing medicine with a half life with no understanding of a half life. You can't make the week low where you want their average to be...

 

[ALIN]

I use 125mg per week on TRT and it puts me in the 800-900ng/dl range.
Sex drive remains high,,I feel great and still make nice gains in the gym.

again 8-900 peak or min or in the middle...when you do TRT your high is almost double your low...this is why they usually take blood the day before the shot and add 50% to the value.

Saying your TRT blood level without saying where it is in relation to your last and next shot means almost nothing.

Sounds like your doctor is a pussy and you have a hard on for anyone who gets more than you?

Hahahaha lmao sure does huh? Lol

 

[Liquid 2009]

If the blood work calls for it then that's good enough. It's been 3 years since I've been on it.

 

[trt newbie]

And yea that was the day before my shot tho and that's what my levels where at I'm pretty sure he understands it just fine.

 

[Liquid 2009]

What day does your doctor want you to get blood work done post injection? I would think it's best to do it on the day before next injection to see where your levels are at the end of the 7 or 10 days or whatever length your injections are apart

 

[trt newbie]

The last time was on the day before and it showed lower then before so he uped me and it's been like 6 months and I just went in to get them again and it was like the middle of the week so it might be high . If he tries to drop it I'll start getting my shit from my source lol but I hope not

 

[polarbear1134]

No I just know what a correct dose is. Turn on the news someday and you will see TRT docs and clinic getting shut down all the time for exactly what you are talking about...

Jealous? of what ? anyone on here could be on a gram a week if they felt like it.
Just pointing out the correcting above the top of the normal range is not correcting and is steroid abuse/use. I have even had clinics call me and try to tell me I am not on enough and they can get me more...and to make an appointment...this is without any bloodwork or anything other then them getting my # somehow from a pharmacy list. If I wanted to be on a steroid dose I would be...

 

[trt newbie]

Well my results came back and they were a little high. But it's because I took my shot on Monday and got my bloods on Thursday morning so of course there going to be a little high the doc said they were 1040 and should t be higher then 1010 but I didn't talk to the actual Doctor it was a nuts telling me what the doctor said so I'm going to go in there my next day off and talk to him and see if I can keep my my original dose because I'm not trying to do 175mg a week it's to big of a pain in the ass with my 1ml vials

Also keep in mind if your dose does not shut you down completely your natural production is about 15% higher the 1st hr or 2 you are awake then in the afternoon once you have been awake 8 hrs. So if you want you test to show alittle lower (assuming you are not all the way shut down) get tested in the afternoon as what little you still make will be less then.

For sure I never thought of that I'll have to do that

My doc will be like "looks like we need to retest for the morning". Lol I tried.

Ya I'm about to go talk to him and try and get tested later in the day on the day I take my injection so it's the lowest possible lol my doctors cool so hopefully he will be willing to do so

 

[Liquid 2009]

When does your doctor want you to get your blood work done? I don't think getting it done in the morning is beneficial

 

[trt newbie]

I went and talked to him and he said to not worry about it he's going to keep me at 200 and come back in two months and get checked again but next time to come in on the day of injection before I do it... It just sucks because I'm about to get on a cycle so in two months I'm going to have to come up with an excuse on why I can't and try to get him to refill it anyways... He's cool tho so I might just tell him when the time comes that im blasting and that my levels are going to be high... I think. If I'm on 200 and adding 400 tren and 400 mast a week with it will my test levels be higher then normal?

 

[trt newbie]

Bump

 

[polarbear1134]

In the morning whatever test you naturally produce will be about 15% higher than after you have been up for 8 hrs. So yes unless you are totally shutdown and produce none...it will have an effect. If you are on half replacement it would have about half that effect or 7.5%.
