I just started 100mg per week. Does anyone have any experience with this dose? Anyone know what total testosterone levels can be expected at this dose. I'll find out in 5weeks when I go back for blood tests but I'm just curious if anyone could has an idea of the range. Thank you for your time
 
100mg a week Is low. Assume you are injecting .5 ml per week?

Generally speaking the larger you are the more cyp you need. I'm 170lbs and take 160mg / a week. Also look into injecting 2x a week to keep your T levels more steady. This has worked out well for me and lots of others on this board.
 
Thank you for your reply. Yes....cypionate .5ml of 200mg/ml. I inject once but would like to do 2. Was hoping I could get the doc to up my dose. Will find out in another month when I get blood work and adjust dosage if he feels I need it. I weigh close to 200 pounds so as you said....i will likely need more. Thanks again
 
agreed with AverageMan - from all I've read and my own experience it "sounds" a little low. BUT - it's all about how you feel. If 100mg a week has you feeling like superman again...the least amount you have to take to have you feeling great again, is the right dose. I, like most guys, use the 2x per week schedule as well.
 
With 100 mg a week you will notice changes. For many 80 mg per week is solid TRT dose. See the sticky on how long to see benefits.
 
One of the things to do is to gauge how you feel. Talk to the doctor in how you feel, not numbers. I told mine I did not care about numbers at all since they are basically meaningless and only care about how I felt and that I would like to keep increasing the dose until it no longer improved how I felt and then lower back down. He was impressed with that and agreed.

Will be direct and talk to my doc. Hope he is as understanding as yours. Great advice thank you
 
One more question. In your experience, is any anastrozole needed for 100mg per week? Dr mentioned taking .5mg per week. I'm a little skeptical at this dose but will certainly take what whatever my blood tests suggest I need. Any personal experiences are greatly appreciated
 
This site is great. I've read a TON of new info and I am very impressed with the willingness of people to help me and answer my questions. Even if my question seems silly. Thank you everyone. I'll check back in when I have more info. I'm sure I'll have more questions. Thanks for your response and your patience. I've read on other forums where people were not so tolerant of people who are new to hormone therapy.
 
It will be interesting to see what your numbers are... 100mg can work well for a lot of people. everyone is different and require different dosing.

Between 100-200mg per week is ok. If you are injcting subcutane you will need a lower amount, because the absorption rate is little bit slower and you will build a good depot with it. Intramuscular could be you need 200mg, also if you are not a lightweight. ;)

Hey OP I'd just like to jump in and thank you for your support. O'logy is one of the best sites and have some of the more knowledgeable and experienced members. You were right on with your assessment of our common attitudes here.

Of course a few of us , me , lose touch from time to time hence lose patience but I myself try hard to use more tact. Get more and better response when we ? I use honey rather then hot sauce. Your compliment goes a long way for me and a few others who need to remember where we all I come from...our beginnings.

You've gotten some if the best of us giving you advice here so listen carefully and eat it up. Enjoy this board, not many like it.

I'm sure all of our vets appreciated your comment and thus continue to work hard to live up to it ! :)

I will share my numbers when I get them tomorrow. If the doctor and I are satisfied with the numbers I assume I will see him every 6 months from here on out for bloodwork and a new prescription. Unless I have issues along the way of course. I already have more questions but will save them and ask after I share my numbers. Thanks again. I am very glad to be here

100mg per week, one shot of .5ml cypionate.
Serum leave 4 days after shot 1172......scale 264-916
Doc left dosage the same and will see him in 6 months as long as I have no issues.
LH and FSH were obviously low, in the absence of HCG

Anyone have a guess as to what my level might be right before my shot? Day 7?
