just starting trt

[mlitt12345]

I'm a 41 yr old that was feeling like crap, lack of energy, low sex drive etc and saw the low t commercials and told myself thats me. I got a appointment with my GP and he tells me it has to be something else that I was to young to have low t. He wanted to do a sleep study and all kinds of other stuff first. He finally did a blood test and two weeks later the results of my testosterone lvl was 111 out of 348-1197 ng/dl scale and my free test was 3.2 out of 6.8-21.5 pg/ml scale. The doc offers either a cream or injection and I chose the injection it seemed easier to deal with so he prescribes me test cyp injection 200mg every 4 weeks. I felt like a new man the first week and it was a roller coaster of hell after that. I actually ended up feeling worst then what I originally felt. This made me do some research on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) myself and I stumbled across this website and I'm sure glad I did because just about 3-4 hrs of reading I now probably no more about testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) then my gp does. I knew i needed a new doc and after checking in my local area could not find a good testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) doc. I ended up calling Todd from ULV, a board sponsor and decided to join up and cant wait to receive my new improved protocol. I'm sure I will have some questions for some of you pros on here, but for now I'm gonna do some more reading on the forums. Great site here.

200mg every 4 weeks?
That doctor is a fucking retard.

Cyp(like E) has a 3-4day half life.

Natural production/Trt dose should be around 200mg/wk

You should be taking .5cc 2x a week (depending on mg/ml, assuming 200mg/ml)

my 2 cents anyways, Im not on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) yet. But will be soon.

Matthew121 was being polite about your doctor.

Thank you for this forum, guys.

"about 3-4 hrs of reading I now probably know more about testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) then my gp does"

Oh, yes. You probably got there after five minutes.

Welcome to the boards. Tons of great info in here. Glad to see you. Todd or Mike from ULV is a good guy that really knows some stuff. Follow his advise and you can't go wrong.

E's half life is 5.25 to 5.55 days. Cyp is slightly more.

Everybody is different with dosing and the resultant levels. Generally 100mg 2x week will put most people in the upper 3rd maybe higher than that. We run more than the average or median values because we have to get the T from somewhere anyways. And it's more ideal to be in the upper range.

Considering that you won't actually have any T in your system after 2 weeks of a 4 week schedule, means that his Dr' is a quack when it comes to T.

I second this.

I will interested to watch your progress. I , too, am 41. Been on test enanthate 80 mg per week for a few weeks and my mood and focus is much improved. It really is remarkable. Libido is coming back. I suspect I may need to end up injecting more and/or more frequently. Have you head your thyroid checked. That was my deal.

I agree that the Doc is stupid, but you sayng the half life of teste is 3-4 days is not right, its PEEK is that. but the HALF LIFE is 7-10days

100-150mg ew teste or cyp would be what I would rec anyway.
