Newbie to the forum been taking trt

[janmar]

Hey folks. Newbie to your forum. Been taking Test C since 6/6/2012. Doc prescribed 200 ml every other week. Welllll I have done 200 the next week 200 again the following week 225 then today 250. So as you can see I haven't been exactly following exactly as prescribed. Shame on me. First things first.

This stuff is FANTASTIC as far as libido and sex goes. UNREAL! I told my wife when I first got it look out. I was 100% correct. Cannot get enough.

Now needless to say I am looking to gain as much muscle from this as I can.
Been lifting for over 3 years but things were stale. Starting to notice small changes in my body since 6/6. In fact wife agrees. Hoping over time it becomes big changes.

Background info I'm 52 and otherwise healthy.

Any help/info/suggestions greatly appreciated.

Seeing as how T can take a few weeks to a month to get int your system and hold you may want to stick to one regimen and then get a blood test. If you keep arbitraily adding to dosage you will never find where you at. If doc percribed 200 every other week I would split it and do 100 every week. But im confused are you doing every other so two weeks or weekly. But if your doing weekly. 250 is starting to get into the high range. I would guess at that amount your going to start running into extrogen problems soon.

From what I have seen a lot of this is based off of feel but having way to much testosrone could run you some isssues as well. I dont want to be a dick but I think you need to more methodical about what you are doing. At this rate you will never find the sweet spot so to speak.

 

[janmar]

ok so what your saying is might be best to stay at 200 per week and no higher? I did 200 first week 200 2nd week 225 3rd and 250 today.

 

[theguy9129]

Well he perscribed you 200 every other week right? So in a sense you are doubling the recommended dosage by doing 200 every week. If he perscribed 200 every other week I would go to 100 every week. Wait 4 week get blood drawn and also ask to get a estrogen panel to see if your hight because you may need an Aromatase inhibitor (AI). Also ask about an HCG it will keep your nuts from shrinking. But being older you may not need it and having kids is probably not an issue.

Problem is you are skipping way ahead and eventually the doc will have a blood test and and if your high hes going to know you have been pushing and will ultimately change your dosage anyways and you will back tracking to find your sweet spot. After blood test you very well may find out that you need 200 every week. But from what I have seen the majority of folks on here on are doing less 200 weekly. most are doing doing 100-150 a week. Im not going to say 250 is huge but that is quite a bit for a weekly basis.

Can you clarify are you persribed 200 every two weeks and taking 200 every week on your own?

Then again if your goal is more of anabolic approach vs testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) then you may want to visit that section as the guys know more. But if you are on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and just trying to make the most out of it, like I said the Doc will know you have been doing double what your supposed to at some point.

I would also think that if you are severely increasing the dosage that you are going to run out of T a lot sooner than expected. Wouldn't you have difficulties getting a refill of your prescription?

 

[janmar]

Yes it is supposed to be 200 every other week. Your right though that when I get my blood test he's gonna notice that my test should be much higher. The good thing about my doc is that he knows my hope while using this stuff. I told him flat out that I wanted to gain muscle and that I don't really have problems in the bedroom. Now I really don't have probs in the bedroom except that I can't get enough. I just spoke to a friend who is going to get me a bottle of cyp 250. This will keep me with enough to finish what was supposed to be a total of 10 weeks.

 

[janmar]

Thanks for the help guys. I have not checked in with the pharm yet to see how thats gonna go. I did however procure a bottle of cyp 250 for the week after next when I will be out.

 

[theguy9129]

sounds like you are on more of cycle then testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). You realize that if thats what you are trying 200 even 250 is not near enough to do anything in 10 weeks of major significance, and if you go off that routing youll be right back where you were and or cut down to the point where you can maintain what you are at now and will be constantly using underground sources to get what you need.. And I dont think any doctor is going to really be on board with a cycle, and will eventually cut you off or cut you down. And Im not sure I would be pulling drugs off friends as you dont know where its coming from.

 

[BoBoy]

I"m a TRT"er that went rogue.....started out with the standard 200/e14d then I went with 100/e7d then 200/e7d then I broke away and started a 500/wk cycle (250x2) 2 months ago. I would like to say I got twice as strong and twice as horny but it hasn't turned out that way . I"m actually looking forward to the end of this cycle so I can go back to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) , probably going with 150/wk (75x2)..... ~Bo

 

[janmar]

Bo 150 per week just to keep T levels normal? What kind of results did you get from 500/wk?

I rec:
take shots weekly not every 2 weeks. better 100mg ew than 200mg every 2 weeks.
also of your goign to cycle cycle, but remember to go back to your "REAL" Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for atleast a few months out of the year and get blood work done. (for health)
WELCOME TO THE BOARD!!!

EXACLY when the doc sees you are running out of the meds so fast he might cut you off. get extra on your own if your going to use extra.
dont mess up a good thing!

 

[janmar]

Thanks Melissa I mean JuicedPorkchop. I'm def gonna have bloodwork done. Most likely after 3 months. I do agree and have been doing 200 every week and a little more.

HAHA thats not true for eg. teste hits its peek PER DOSE at about 2-3days, and the halflife is then 7-10days.
NOT weeks. it takes weeks to see results, not to have the stuff working...

Hey i do my Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) at 200mg ew and somtimes add 50-100mg deca with it (back/joint issues) I like higher end. but for blood tests take it to normal low amount, like 100mg ew for 3-4weeks before test to avoid the doc givign you issues.
but GO FOR BLOOD TESTS! dont avoid em.

Good luck man!
and yes I LOVE Melissa!
I was goign to change it recently but then i thought, shit I have had that up since i joined here, maybe i shouldent. ha

 

[theguy9129]

thats what I was going to say. If he wants to cycle thats fine not something I would do but to each his own. Doctors are stupid but not all of them and they will see this eventually at some point, and you will be running from doc to doc to get a script. personally the stuff you get from the doc I would stay at reccommened doses with, and get extra for your extracurricular stuff. But I would also go back to normal and get set on a normal level first then cycle, as your going to throw everything out of whack as you will never know where your at. Guys that cycle that dont have T problems know when they come off they will or should back to normal levels, but since you are low now you will come off cycle never knowing whats right. Also the problem your going to have is during cycle you will have extro problems guarenteed and probably shrinkage in the sack. OF which you will want an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and HCG, and you wont be able to go to your doc and test because he will know right away, so you will have to get that stuff underground as well. I dont care if you cycle but I think you need to think your strategy first, theres a little more to it then having crazy sex and getting big. Also if you want ways around the system as Im sure there tips and tricks look around this website a lot of people been doing this for a while.

100/wk put my blood levels at 500ng which is perfectly normal but I wanted more so I went with 200/wk then I got greedy and decided to do the cycle . I have added muscle so far (8 wks in ) but my sleep is worse , I sweat like a pig , I"m becoming covered in little red goose bumps and I have days I"m kinda hot & sickly feeling . I"ve went from 190 lbs to 207 lbs in 2 months
(at 5'5") and still have 4 weeks left . So yea I"m ready for a break . Next time I will go in to the cycle with less bodyfat .....

Wow your ready to blast already.....I would recommend getting dialed in on a good protocol before blasting...something like a e5d or e7d 100mg protocol to start with...you can always bump it up a little to find that sweet spot...sounds like you have a doc willing to work with you and you don't want to mess that relationship up....after 4-6 weeks get a blood test and go from there.....I would have an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on hand..... you don't want bitch tits or a limp dick from screwed up estrogen lvls....also research and read all you can....there is alot of good stuff in those stickies......good luck and keep us updated of your progress

 

[janmar]

Thanks again to everyone here. I will def be back to this board since I have a boring ass job stuff like this gets me thru the day. But I am def gonna look into arimidex for avoiding boobs.
