How many days out were you when you had your blood drawn?

 

[GoinPlatinum]

13 Days

holy crap dude, that's why. Test Cyp should be injected every week at least. I do it every 5 days. Basically what happened is you ran out of test and crashed. Here's an example... My natural test level was 377 before starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Just for the heck of it, I went 9 days without injecting and got bloods done. My levels were at 250 or so. What happened was I essentially ran out of the Test Cyp in my body, but my natural production has been suppressed because of the injections. Therefore, super low test.

At 13 days I would probably have insanely low levels. I feel like you need to rethink your protocol or get with a doctor that understands HRT.

it's not me who has say over my protocol. My doctor will not budge on how often I get injections... Rather frustrated... I feel like he has no clue what he's doing.

honestly, find another doc if you can. 1 injection every 14 days is going to leave you in worse shape than you were. All you're going to is suppress your natural levels for nothing.

Just view doctors like any other business. if they dont provide the service you want then go else where. there are good doctors out there just hard to find. i went thru a few before going with maximus.

Have you talked to your doctor yet after you got your test results back?
I started out the same way with a shot ever 14 days my doctor checked my levels at 14 days and in the middle at 7 days. My test came back about the same as yours so he moved my to ever 7 day at 140mg I will have blood work again in a month to see if we need to change again.
I am glad I started out slow and didn't go with someone that says you need a shot ever 5 day and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and Aromatase inhibitor (AI) when you don't know how you are going to react to just test first. Just my 2 cents
Just call your doctor and see what he says

Basic math should tell your doc that every 14 days is poor dosage of Test Cyp. Personally I would question a doctor that couldn't figure that out.

 

[Tonytubbs]

My doc is starting me on this protocol tomorrow. One shot every 2 weeks. This is progress to me . My old doctor would only give me 2 pumps of androgel a day and my levels came back to 228 after 6 months. He will test me after the before the next injection. I see everybody reacts differently so I'll go from there. It sucks to be have a need something to feel better and be at someone else's mercy. At least I have hope now.

Tide, doctors commonly (almost always) prescribe 1 injection E14D because that is what is indicated in the drug manufacturer's literature. The next time you get your Test Cyp, open the package and read the little sheet of paper in there. I totally agree that it isn't the correct course of treatment, but for numerous reasons (mostly liability), they tend to follow what the manuf. says.

Goto this link and print out this literature on weekly injections versus biweekly injections. Thats what I did and suprisingly my doctor agreed with the study and the compliants on doing biweekly injections.

Most of her patients though are weenies and only want to visit the office twice a month or are afraid to self inject.

The half life of the drug is 8 days if your lucky so this bi weekly bs is ridiculous but whatever just print out the facts and explain to your doc that its 2012 and you want the best quality of life possible!!!

I'd try to get him to give you 200mg every week of Test Cyp. And give you at least 500iu's of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) weekly to save your nads and boost your testosterone even more since your so low.

So after all that i spoke w/ my PCP today. He told me "everything is in normal range except your Testosterone" completely ignoring my sex hormone levels & Creatinine levels. Further, he stated my levels were "Shockingly low" however blamed the test from LabCorp as being incorrect & then stated he would not change my injection schedule. (1 injection bi-weekly 200mg/test-cyp"

Awesome...

sounds like you need a new doc man, he is dosing according to half-life, the problem is thats what we thought the half-life was 25 years ago hahahahaha, tell him to get a computer.

7 days is a much more realistic half-life when you start calculating bio available.

your doc is doing what many docs are notorious for, prescribing meds by the book instead of specializing in it.

i think your in more danger seeing him than not seeing anyone.
