Hi Guys,
I recently got tested for T levels(31/07) after reading some articles about the effects of low T and the why we need to get on with TRT. So now I need help on how to proceed further and stuff..
I asked advice to the blogger,who wrote the article about low T's and effect on general life..
Me:
Hi ,
I recently got tested for T levels and found that I have T-levels at 399 and free T at 104..I saw upto 3 doctors including a endo,but all told me that My T was in normal range..
So I took matter into my own hands and ordered a 5gm t-gel.I will get it by tommorow.
So I wanted to know what should I look out for and if any other supplement(estrogen inhibitor) has to be taken with the gel.
Also can you guide me on the cycle I should follow for the medication ..
Any help would be helpful..
Thanks,
Krish
P.S : I live in India by the way

Ok, first of all, the gels are the worst treatment. They have a short half life – you’ll feel awesome in the morning, but low by the end of the day. They also have a tendency to aromatise heavily (convert to oestrogen), so you’re going to need to get some aromatase inhibitors. I recommend 0.25mg arimidex every other day. The gels are better than nothing though.
Ideally, you want to get your hands on some testosterone cypionate, or testosterone enanthate. This comes in the form of an injectable oil. The best way to administer this is via subcutaneous shots with a 0.5***8243; 29 gauge insulin syringe. It’s almost painless, and causes very little aromatisation. Many guys don’t need any Aromatase inhibitor (AI) with this.
Starting dose should be 50mg every 3.5 days. So you would do it on a Monday evening, and a Friday morning every week. The regular doses will keep your serum testosterone levels stable.
You’re going to need to get bloodwork done at regular intervals to monitor everything and make sure you are on track. There are a wide number of variables that can mess up your treatment. You’ll need to get at the least a full male hormone panel run every couple of months to start, along with oestradiol. I thoroughly recommend creating an account on the Steroidology testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) forums. The guys on there have helped me massively.
Lastly, you’re going to need to run HCG to stop your balls shrivelling up, and to keep your fertility. 250miu taken the day before each testosterone shot should be fine. When you get this, make sure you don’t get the pre-mixed one, as the peptide has a short life and loses effectiveness. You can test the quality of your HCG with a pregnancy test kit.
That’s a brief introduction. You’ll need to do a lot of your own research if you’re going to take this on. Again, the Steroidology forums are a great place to go.
Any questions, let me know.
P.S:The blogger is also a member of this forum and he also had started on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) recently...
So my questions are:
1.If we are taking T-shots do we need any Aromatase inhibitor (AI) for it.
2.How much is the starting dosage for a T-shot..
3.Do I continue taking the shot for the whole year or are there any cycles to be followed??
4.I do not go to the gym right now but will start in few days time.Will this have any adverse effect,since most people here are body builders..
5.What is HCG and is it available over the counter or do I need a doctor's appointment?
6.I have been to 3 doctors including an endocrinologist,and all of them told me that my T level is normal..
These are all I can think of right now.Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
