+ 2 Labwork running 200mg

These are my lab results. I run 200mg once every 7 days for trt purposes. This is a result taken on my 7th day between doses. My baseline is about 200-220. My goal is 600-800. Ive been using pure alcoholics the last year and I've never received a low number.

Last time I caught hepatitis it was also from an alcoholic.
Me too!
I had hepatitis C once too
not the place
Im at 900 on 105mg microdosing daily. Sorry for beating a dead horse here, but split your dose LOL
Same bro
How is your hematocrit pinning daily?
My hct is(was) fucked regardless of pin schedule. But in theory, and with most people anecdotally, hct should improve with the more steady levels.
What does your E2 average right now on 105mg?
52 and 43 last two monthly checks. My hematocrit issue was sleep apnea. So I may not be a perfect side by side comparison to your situation.
Ahh yeah sleep apnea makes a difference.
Huge, I fixed that and hematocrit dropped pretty fast
Same same. My hematocrit didn’t move at until I lowered my E2. My rbc count is always normal but hematocrit was hanging out around 52 until I lowered that E2
Tuesday’s and Fridays when you wake up so your body can get use to getting the injection when your system awakes instead of during the day. if you feel low during the week at some point after 8-12 weeks I’d up the dosage .. if you are doing sub q split the Tuesday shot into two shots. So 4 total. Two on Tuesday of let’s say’s 20unit’s each so 40 units total and same for Friday. Sounds stupid but in all honesty it seems to be releasing at different rates because of the blood flow and it is in a different area of fat that might burn faster in that area. Stupid I know . But it’s been working great . I do 304mg a week
I agree with splitting, you'll have more stability and you'll feel noticeably better. I've tried weekly and it sucks, started to develop a lot of estrogen related sides later in the years. Daily was the best, kind of a bitch but if you slin it, not too bad
Split that bad boy Mondays and Thursdays. How often does your doctor require bloodwork? If 6 months or once a year, do your own schedule and just do the 1 week trough before bloods so he doesn't know.
I agree with the others at least 2 times a week minimum. Split the dose do like Monday then Thursday. You will be much better off and more stable. Some people do 3 times a week. Just my 2 cents.
I don’t understand why you would want to stay at this level. Being at 1000 is still in the reference range and completely fine. Additionally, the fluctuations are not good, you want that number to be as stable as possible just like it would be naturally if not on TRT. Split that dose and inject 2 times a week, your body will thank you.
You need to inject more than once a week, fuck your doctor he's an idiot. But actually tell him you need more so you can start to save it up haha
Agreed.
Out of curiosity what made you go with cyp if you’re only doing once a week injections. I remember when I first went on trt the doctor had me doing the same thing and I felt like shit by the end of the week.
Same as you, thats what my dr put me on. It has to be long ester for the once a week schedule. Test cyp gives you an 8 day half life.
You're hormones are going to be a dam roller-coaster bro doing one a week. Minimum 2 times. You will tell the difference
If you’re open to suggestions and want to stay at once a week you might to get decanoate, I just said fuck the script and went this route and did eod. Then I went full dark side and started blasting. It blows my mind how some doctors know nothing about this stuff, I remember to get the script I had to go get three separate blood tests in the morning 30 days apart. It was a crazy pain in the ass just to feel marginally better.
They gotta bill that insurance bro! Bill it to draw your blood and then bill it again to go over it every 4 weeks lol. After you pay for the script and copay you’re paying $100-$200 out of pocket every month. Insanity
My insurance didn’t even cover it, I tried taking the legal route but got the shits of paying 150 dollars a month for a $30 dollar bottle of test that had to last me three months.
Man, when I started at a local clinic the required you to show up once a week for a shot and billed your insurance, mind you they were a “specialist” so the copay on my insurance was $50 instead of $35, so after paying the extra $50 for labs every 8 weeks I was paying $250 a month for a once weekly injection, then I started learning about this stuff when they crashed my e2 to unreadable lmao. Handing out arimidex like tik-tacs. Handling it on your own just seems to be much safer and cheaper imo if you educate yourself, which isn’t hard to just do TRT.
We lived the same life bro. I was paying 10x what I was paying for my insurance for all the bs I was paying the trt clinic. Thats how I found eroids.
Yea, I was in the same boat and didn’t realize how wrong everything I was doing was until I started wondering why I still felt like shit almost a year into it.
My online clinic is $79/month. And I can use my FSA for it. It makes the wife feel better. I told her two years and the PCP will "take over."
And by that, I mean I'll provide him good labs twice a year for a pharmacy script for travel and do whatever I want the rest of the time.
How long have you been running the 200mg? I run 30mg ED (210mg/week) and my test levels are 1400 ng/dl
Ive been running 200 for 7 years. Your numbers are so much higher than mine because I have 7 days between injecting and testing. I do it that way because thats the way my Dr tests. I would be as high as you if I was injecting every day. Ive tested within a day of my injection and been in the 1200 range. A week of half living puts me at 6-700.
You’re 12% bf and this is the numbers you’re getting. This seems low man.
I made this account almost 8 years ago. I'm not 12% body fat today. Ill try to figure out where you saw that and fix it. My goal range was set by my Dr. He set the range at 600-800.
The range is great you’re free test is probably why you feel so good. I was just curious because I see lifters doing 200mg getting 1200+ a lot of times, I figured maybe there was something going on like bf or something. No doubt it’s legit test. GGs
I use 150mg split Monday and Thursday my most recent trough was 1041. Wonder if he just has lower response because the once a week injection? What matters is he feels good tho
I was running 160 split twice a week and my trough came back at 670 or so. It's wild how different responses are.
Yes it's because I test on my injection day, so it's been 7 days since my last injection. I've tested in the middle of my injections before and I've got numbers in the 900-1200 range as I go closer to the injection. I just use my injection day numbers as a gauge because thats how my Dr does it.
Do you feel the up and down with once weekly shots? I started at twice weekly and just moved to daily and like it a lot. But everyone is different in how they respond, I'm finding.
I switched from daily to twice a week since i got tired of it. I have been breaking out a lot on my face, though, I do sweat a lot at work. And yeah, my trough was only 4 days. Last inject was Thursday then tested monday morning before my next shot
I'm still in my honey moon phase and don't mind pinning twice a day. I am about to start testing out a few different pens though, just to cut down on the amount of pins I accumulate, and to have less draw time.
Test your DHT levels and talk to a doc about dutastratide
I don't but I've been doing it like this since I went on trt 7 years ago so my body got used to this a long time ago. Ive never done it any other way. Maybe I'll split it up sometime in the future and see how that feels.
