what's doc going to say to T cyp 2x week?
I'm going to see my Dr in a month or so and explain I have been using UGL Testosterone and have found 125mg/ week split twice a week to work well. He prescribed topical at the beginning of the year and said we could discuss injections after I found the topical to be ineffective (not exact words, but that's how I understood it)
I am under the impression he will give me shots at every two weeks, which is not acceptable. Years ago he gave them once a week.
I'm trying to think of what arguments he will have against injections twice a week. I know he wasn't going to originally give me testosterone to inject at home, but make me visit the office. But if I explain I'm going to do it, and would prefer to have prescribed pharmaceutical grade instead of UGL I think he will go along unless there is something I don't get, and want to be prepared with reasoning when I make the office visit.

I love my Dr, (nohomo), he agrees with my logic. Holding a script in my hands for Testosterone Cypionate 200mg / 1 ml, even asked if I had a preference for enanthate. Quantity of 10, three refills. He wants to monitor bloods when I'm back on of course.
Some issues with how the script is written, and insurance coverage. Insurance will only let me have 4 x 1 ml at a time so that is once a week injections which might be ok but if I were to stick to the discussion I could claim I was using 67.5mg x 2 times a week, thus discarding the remaining amount twice a week 122.5mg x 2 (saving for a blast in a sealed vial). Going to try another pharmacy and see if they will let me have a 10ml vial, but I would actually come out ahead if I went with the 10x amount, just need to drop some good cash if I ignore insurance.
If my numbers are off, I blame it on PCT hell.
This is great news for how much I travel! I get to carry on with no worries!
Anonlol.. sorry but he's probably gonna say no.. most docs don't have any idea what acceptable or optimal dosages are and go with the status quo which is once ...maybe in some rare cases.. twice a month shots of around 300mg/ml.. your reasoning isn't founded in any research studies and for most docs anecdotal evidence is simply not enough .. sorry to say he'll prob look at you like your crazy ..
AnonEasy fix. Get your first few inj at the docs office than keep rescheduling for your next shot. After that tell him you would rather self administer because your schedule is constantly changing and it is too difficult to set a time for you to visit the office for shots.
It's a game of chess, if you think your doc will allow you to self admin just ask or play the game.
AnonDo what you feel is right.
AnonTell him your girlfriend has been noticing hair growing in strange places and he will move you off the gel immediately.
I wouldn't tell him you've been using cyp on your own. Tell him you want injections. Then ask for self administration, most docs will be fine with it they will just ask you to do a class with a nurse. For dosing 100-125mg a week isn't asking a whole lot. I'm prescribe 175mg week, I basically told my doc my ideal dose and he said ok.
You have to know your doc, if you have a good open repor than work that angle.
My urologist is awesome (not to brag), but this guy is one cool dude. He suggested topicals at first and I listened to his theory about the gels and then expressed my concern about my wife and children coming in contact with the topical. He listened and prescribed me injections and asked if I wanted to administer my own shots( awesome). He prescribed me 400mg per month at100mg per week and said to inject however I like (one per week, twice etc..). When I go back in February, I am gonna try and get it raised to 150mg per week, in the mean time I'll keep supplementing with UGL test.
If he does just say after 5 days you start to feel depressed/low libido/tired and it keeps getting worse each day after.
You could also tell him you feel like you have too much testosterone the first 2 days of shot then it crashes harder and harder each day.
Basically tell him you would rather do 2 small dose shots every 5 days than 1 big shot per 10 days
No1We dont know what he will say
tread-mAnd that, is a simple and valid point! Boom!
tread-mTell him your use after much research has found you in a place where you feel as though your overall hormone balance would benefit from smaller increments as opposed to larger less frequent. Frequency creates better balance and then you can roadmap your needs and adjustments with bloods. That will include roadmapping potentially your estogen control and sex hormone binding gl?obulan and just monitoring everything to the degree you find your sweet spots in all homone balance. Its much harder to achieve this balance in just basic trt or cycle with the infrequent hits, too much possibility for test flucuation and of course, every action having a reaction you want the reactions stable as well. There is no argument against more injections with less mg's other than doc not wanting to mess with it. Tell him you'll inject its not his problem and you will do as many bloods as he likes to find your perfect place and that "health" is your goal. Weekly on trt long ester is as far out as you want every 2 weeks is not the magic....but you knew that.
