Ask Anything You Want about TRT Thread........

This may be excessive but what amout of an injectable is in the actual needle itself. My vial of test for example. Total volume is precisely a certain number of doses. If it's 10 mL, and an injection is .5 mL . . . How much would I be short on my last pull if my drawing needle is full when I remove it?

If when drawing I am at the far end of the .5mL line with no air. I remove the syringe, swap end for injection. The new end is empty. I can see a tiny air bubble. I slightly push until I see the compound show its self. I will move from the far end . . . . Long .5mL . . . To the bottom of the line. . . Short .5mL.

Will this cause my last pull from a vial to be short? Say . . . . .4mL?

Is this even enough to be concerned about? This comes from framing and carpentry. Precision cuts. "36" Long meaning leave my pencil mark/ to the end of the pin mark or a "short" meaning till the end of the plungger touching the .5mL line?

If you've ever done trim 1/16" of an inch can be the difference between the right fit and not fitting.

The measurement takes into account that some of the oil is in the needles. That is factored in.

Is it perfect? No. But any variance is totally negligible. Just measure to the middle of the line when drawing. Don't try to compensate for something that has already been compensated for.
 
Hello All, Total Newb to this site and to self med of TRT 250ml Test E and Somatropin with a different reason than most I believe.....
I am posting here for feedback and didnt want to clog up the other abundant threads with the basic questions and besides the title states "Questions for Newbs" so here I am.

Vitals-
Age- 46
Weight- 175
Height- 5'9"
Build- Medium Athletic- toned
Activity Level- Always Active( Offroad Motorcycle Enduros and hare Scrambles)
History- 2016 Diagnosed with Lymes.

So back in 2016 I was diagnosed with Lymes and after 2 courses of Doxycycline (30 days each) the ailments were somewhat staved.However, I have noticed lingering symptoms of the Lymes(achy joints/stiffness) and the Doxy(leaky Gut)..I have chosen for most the natural approach which means change of diet,no/little sugars , lo carbs and fitness....this has been working fairly well. However both of my Distal Tendons Left(2016) and Right (2017) have torn during typical activity and needed surgical repair. Although I will never get a straight answer from a Doctor.... the tearing comes from the Doxycyline. Known to weaken Tendons. Obviously this will take the pep outta your step and have never fully recovered back to 100%. My last visit to a Disease Specialist stated he'd put me on a 30 day Pic line with a bag of some heavy duty Antibiotics.....um No.

Yes I am only 6 weeks post surgery Distal Tear Left Bicep and have been released for resistance bands "No Weights" for Physical Therapy....haha just stacked 2 cords of firewood with that arm. I know slow down and take it easy but life goes on and need to get stuff done.

My Source has provided me with:

4 of 250mg/ml-10ML of Test E (TORO)

3 boxes HGH(powder vaccum sealed)no label 10 small sealed vials per box and the water. Each small vial is 1 Ml. So 2.5 servings(.4 ml) per x 30 = 45 days worth

After spending the past few days reading this site i have gathered tons of information the one common denominator I see is a blood test.....I did not do this.:(

I am:

4 weeks into Test E @ 750ml EW or 3IU's per every 5 days

1 week into 2x day .4 ml of HGH(front load?) I will now drop that down to 1 x.4ml. per day.


My questions are:

-Is 750 Ml or 3 IU's of Test E per every 5 days too much and not required? Honestly dont feel like an 18 yr old...just a small lift in energy. mostly feel the lethargy post injection one day later-tiny bit flu like

-Should I split 500 ml of Test E to 250 ml per serving 3 days apart? i believe it equates to 2IU's.

-I am holding water will this subside? Mostly noticed during the HGH being introduced to my system. My face is starting to look like a Shar pei :wtf:

-Blood Test? I see mid cycle literature in "Ology" and Links for Blood work Female Hormone w/E2? Is it worth my effort most likely this is my only cycle.

-Will I need a secondary Blood Test post cycle? obvious follow up from above question

-TRT long term or will one cycle help me get back?

-What is a normal TRT cycle length and typical amount daily?

-I have ordered DIM from info gathered on Ology and at 19 bucks didnt feel it to be too much of a gamble if not needed. Should I include this in my daily routine?

-I am also on Antler drops IGF-1. Took prior to surgery for its claimed healing properties. I say it works..... should I just stop that ?




Feedback greatly appreciated.

I'm a 29 year old male never used steroids of any kind my testosterone level was 42 I was put on 100 mg T cyp once per week it today I get my second shot this week I had no noticable increase in errections or sex drive however my energy levels did change I guess my question is does this change after further injections?
 
I'm on 100mg test cyp e7d, leaving me at around 600 at trough a week after my shot, about 3 hours before my next one.

Let's say (theoretically) I went up to 120mg e7d or 140mg e7d from my RX, but I didn't want to have my trough numbers be too much higher on the labs, would it make sense to get bloods 8 days after shot? 9?
 
If you have a RX and exceed the dosage you may run out before refill time. I have my refills every 20 weeks. If I add extra 20% I could run out weeks before my refill date at least.

How long it would take to return to 600 is hard to know for sure. After a couple weeks the extra test overlaps and builds up. Also it may cause estrogen issues with a higher peak and higher overall levels. 120mg is a 20% increase, 140 is 40% increase. I don't have a graph maker but the extra 40mg per week will increase in a overlap for about 4 - 6 weeks. It would be longer than an extra day or two I'm sure.

RX is given out in 1 time disposable 1mls, so I have extra I am tossing.

I don't mind if I'm up in the 700s, but I can't hit near Labcorps max (920ish) at trough. My E was dialed in perfect at 100 so I don't anticipate it getting too crazy, but that's why I get labs right?
 
The increased weekly dose will still build up over time and will take longer to bleed back down. I don't know the amount of time needed.

Your estrogen will need more control as well.

This isn't really TRT. If you want higher levels then run a cycle between labs . . . and that's a whole other beast. We want accurate labs.

I'm not trying to to do "superphysiological" levels, I'm trying to make sure my weekly trough is in the upper third of "normal". That's solidly within the realm of TRT, is it not?
 
Ooh I was misunderstanding your posts. I took it as you are trying to run a higher dose but time it so your labs read different. 200mg wk puts people in the 1200-1500 ng/dL range . . . . 100 has you at 600 . . . . 120 mg wk at a straight 20% increase has your level somewhere are 720 in abstract math land.
 
My urologist, who is actually very smart and progressive about TRT otherwise, thinks that as long as I end up at normal (which could be like 550, 575, 600 at best) at trough levels, I should be fine. I just think that if I'm going to be serious about this and shutting down what little I have left, I'd like to at least try to keep trough at high end of normal. My compounder gives me 1 dispoable ML per week, so instead of doing .5 and chucking it, I'd just do .6 or .7.

I'm still getting my labs done regularly, going to keep an eye on everything, I just was worried if I came back at total levels of close to the Labcorp limit , so I was thinking about doing 9 days after my shot or something.

Nothing crazy, still TRT, just slightly more.
 
Keeping your doses and test weekly is a good idea. If your goal is simply less than about 900, then 120mg shouldn't put you over. More estrogen is coming so keep that in mind.
 
Hello, I am starting my TRT today and had 1 question that I couldn't find an answer to and just wanted some input. I am prescribed 100mg Test-C E7D. I plan on doing 50mg E3.5d but was wondering if I should do the first 100mg today (Friday) to "jump start" my system and then start the 3.5 next Tuesday.

You are going to pin 50mg of test per week for your trt? that is very low for trt.

who adviced you to do this? how are you going to avoid shutting down your own test levels?

is this doc prescribed or self?
