3 months in, t d topped 100 pts

Title should read t dropped 100 pts. Freakin IPad.



Little bummed. I started testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) through my Doc in June. Standard 200 mg test c every two weeks. Starting test number was 403. First injection was June 7. By June 9th I felt great. Week 4 I hurt like hell, joints ached the whole deal. Test was 1289. Doc suggested I cut to 200 mg/ month. I shook my head ok and went to 100 mg every 7 days. It stopped the joint aches which I contribute to high E. (doc won't test E, I know, I know, looking for a new doc now).

100 every week seemed to work at first but started to wear out faster than normal and I felt about the same or a little worse by day 5 then back in June. Went and had my test checked Thursday at 8:30 am, 6 days in and got the results today. Total T was 302!!!!! Shit. I am going to try 150 every 7 days and see how that works while I find a local endo doc. Apparently we have a great guy here in Austin.

I can feel the drop in my t levels and know when they are high and low easily. June 7 I was doing dumbbell presses with 60 lb's down from 70 a year earlier. By July 1 I was doing 85 lbs. Still 80-85. I'm 43, was 6' 195 lbs on June 7 by July 7 was up to 205. I am not on this to get big but like the dude in the mirror a lot more today then June 7.
It's a journey and I am looking forward to the consistency that comes from the right combo. Ithink getting the E down and stable should help.

Ranting done.....Over

I went down as well but that was on Gel. Guess you could try a few different things. One have you checked your pituatary for tumor this could be the problem. Next I would ask about an HCG. basically your body has shut down its normal production and your body is not absorbing the synthetic. You may just need to do more or try every 5 or 6 days.

Test you E yourself using privatemdlabs. It cost $50 and includes Total T. Do the lab test the day after you inject to see how high your T is getting . Then you will knoe your range. You may be starting high and aromatizing it quickly. With the lab results you could show it to your doctor and ask for an Aromatase inhibitor (AI). Good luck.

Thats a good point as 200mgs is fairly high to start with. You could always bump down to 150 or 100 on your own and see how you feel. Which may lower your E and higher your T. Good luck with an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), myself do not have good luck getting it as well as many others.

Your doc sounds like an idiot. Get a second opinion and get on 150-200mgs a week, with an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) if needed.
