I could use some straight answers asap on if this sounds to be ok and sufficient.
My doc started me at 100mg of test cypionate every 3weeks. After two weeks i just called and complained that it was not enough from all the research i done. Now he is going to change to 200mg every 3weeks . Does this seem to be correct ? And if not how can i prove to him. Is there anything that i can print out showing
info on average dosing and how long it stays in body. Also to prove to him about how it effects estodial.
I want to make sure he is doing this right and i can get the max benefit from it. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
He should follow up with blood tests to monitor your T levels.

3 weeks between injections is way too long, once a week injections keep blood hormone levels more stable.

To prove this to him, have him do a blood test 3 days after your injection, and then another one a day or two before you are due for your next injection at the three weeks interval.

Good advice SC. I was thinking the same thing.............
 
Thanks again for your help ! I talked with my doc on phone and explained that 100mg every 3wks was not enough from all the advise and info that i gathered. He was very understanding, he was going to change and give 200mg every 3wks. With your advise
i asked if he would do 100mg every week instead for 4wks and go from there to keep the level from high and low so tomorrow i start.

I do have a couple more questions if you will. BLOOD TESTS -Testosterone total & free
and is bio available different than free? I know all the other stuff that needs to be done
but what about DHT,should it be checked? PSA how often ? and should he be checking the ESTRADIOL? which has never been done ! AND last ! I think, i mentioned to him about hcg and why i need it, he said he will talk to a couple of endocrinologists he knows to get answers cause he's not a specialist in the field just a MD.
I KNOW THIS IS A LOT BUT CAN YOU HELP ME OUT ,I'M GOING TO THE DR. TOMORROW.
 
Like your advise, sounds reasonable

Best, 200mg every week. Above average, 100mg every week. Average, 200mg every other week. Anything less, not very good.

Is taking 200mg once awk something i can stay on for my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or do i have to back off
some of it after awhile. what about anything else i should be doing along with this. For example testical atrophy and maybe estrogen
levels. could really use your help in setting me up on what to do taking 200mg of cyp.awk.
blood work and the whole nine yards.
 
200mg/week is perfect. Not too high, but perfect. If atrophy occurs, look into hCG. Tell your Dr. you want to keep an eye on your estrogen, esp is you start hCG. You could stay on 200mg/week forever. Esp if your getting routine bloodwork. I always get my PSA level checked as well (prostate cancer prevention).
 
Im in the same boat! Im being given 300mg once a month then he wants to wait for another month to see if levels gone up. Its a joke, my dr. gave me the gel to start with and my levels did'nt even go up. he explain on a scale of 8 my levels should be a 6 or 7, Im at 2.11 way below where its suppose to be. Its becoming a dragging process.
 
Thats why I believe everything the "Anabolic Doc" is saying about having someone who has gone to school for this type of care. What does a Primary Physician know about anabolic steroids or hrt/trt? NOTHING!!..... until they go back and hit the books and teach themselves. Find another Doctor bro. First off...I don't like the whole idea of your doc believing what your saying from what you have researched here or anywhere. He can be sued for what he is doing to you without knowing what the hell he is doing to you.
Thats like me telling the doc I need oxycontin for my pain and he listens to me and writes a script. Think bro.......
 
Some swelling issues with 200-225MG Test Cypo every 7-8 days

Since I started on Test Cypo at 200MG every 2 weeks, I started with the prescribed dose and then feeling better decided to inject at the 8-10th day mark of 220MG. Since my last injection a week ago, this being my 5th Injection since starting in November I started noticing my hands were hurting and my ring finger swelling and hands feeling swollen and aching in joints and my face slightly puffy as well. Dr., my MD said to not take higher than prescribed and lower sodium Salt intake. So does the swelling happen normally at this amount if taken more often than 2 weeks, my hands are bothering me alot. Everyone is different so maybe its been too much too soon for my system. Any advice appreciated greatly. :Poke:

That does not sound right. Whats your diet like?
 
100 mg every 4 days okay not every 3 weeks. 200mg a week is standard protocol amongst urologists that know how to administer trt. My local gp gives all his guys 200mg a week.
 
Well ever since I started upping the dose above 200 MG and doing it more often than the 10-14 day mark as prescribed that's when I got these symptoms. They hust say lower sodium intake and more Cardio to eliminate exesssive salt. Since adding test to system from what I've read the body retains fluid more than usual from the increased test in the blood and tissues. So it worries me so I may have to just stay with the lower amount at 200MG every 10-14 days or what do you think about 100MG per week?

get your e2 levels checked. the side effects your describing sounds like high estrogen levels. you need an aromatase inhibitor. adex or aromasin will do.
