+ 1 Blood work question
ad
I am sure this is a dumb question but I got to ask. If I am on 140mg test cyp a week and my blood work shows over 1500ng/dl and I want to bring that down to under 1k how long before blood work do I change the dose?

How soon after your last pin did you take the test? Did you pin half a weeks of test then have the blood drawn and hour later? That matters. I was injecting 175mg per week pinning every other day and had a total test of 1377ng/dl in the trough.. ie right before my next pin
But yeah if you want to lower it to something like 100mg per week, wait a couple weeks and retest that would be smart, just make sure you get the blood drawn in the trough or between pins.
I pinned 60mg on Monday evening and tested Friday morning
Bloodwork like this is why I disagree when ppl say you have to administer a certain dosage to get desired results, or things like “taking anything less than 500mg test is a waste of a cycle”…..
Because no one responds like this that is why people say it. 6x the 140mg would be great, but 11x over that should call all the influencers on IG and YT make a fortune telling this story. Or Fake news. I say fake news. But anything is possible, I mean @press1 says he had a GF at some point. And I more inclined to believe that over this guys incredible test results, because maybe I am just a dumb gym rat but doesn't the doctor order his hormone test?
Where did you say I should post the blood work? In the source talk that would be for a specific source right? This is pharma
you can just post the photo but doesn't prove that you only took 140mg, but that is up to you.
I will post the bloodwork
Couldn’t agree more about this bloodwork and also about press relationships lol
LMAO
I was the same at that dose when I was working with a TRT clinic. They didn't care if it was that high but my primary care doc would get on my case about it. I inject EOD, so what I ended up doing is skipping a few doses and then getting bloods done right before my next dose. This put me around 800 IIRC. For example, if for that week I was scheduled to dose Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun, I skipped Wed/Fri/Sun, got bloods done the following Tuesday, and then resumed my normal schedule. I did a test run of this ordering labs myself so I knew where I would land, but if you are just trying to be in a certain range for your doctor that is a way to do it. If you just want to stay below 1000 in general, then like others said go to 100mg/wk and wait a month or so.
Big responder
How do I use that to my advantage
Or the cooker- deserve a raise
Big pharma
Holy crap thats good for 140mg! Id start right away at 100mg like ranger said. And post that bloodwork on the sources page. They and the members here would appreciate that. 2 years here, you should post stuff thats helps the community like info just like this.
Is it possible I respond decently to it? I don’t know why the numbers are that high but I was struck on 140mg split up into 3 pins a week.
You can be a high responder or its overdosed. Still seems like combo of both
I am going to bring the dose down to 100mg a week and get bloods. I never thought a pharmacy overdosing test.
That’s a lot for 140 mg per week. Are you using pharma grade or UGL? I would reduce your test intake to 100 MG a week and retest in a month.
Yeah pharma grade. So you figure about a month out?
That still seems so high at only 140mg a week. I mean if you’re trying to get it down before your next appointment I would drop it like mentioned above and don’t take your weekly dose before your appointment.
Are you trying to get that down before your dr appt so he doesn't yank your script?
Yeah I don’t want to hear about it from the dr. I figure also I am not trying to compete. I did want to maybe bring down the psa 2.8 a bit too.
