So I got blood work done last week and my total test was 408. The place I'm going through supplies test C, HCG, Anastrozole and all necessary supplies. They also sent me an example of a weekly schedule, example showed pinning test on Monday's, pinning HCG on Monday's and Thursday's, taking Anastrozole only on Monday's. I know they're the professionals but shouldn't I be taking Anastrozole more than once a week? Anybody else on this similar program?
So I'm going on TRT.......

what dosages of test and HCG? how much Anastrozole?
200mg test a week and 50iu's of HCG twice a week. Not sure on the Anastrozle just yet but I'm thinking 1mg a week.

Thats a good starting point, but there is no directions for TRT. You have to just start it and then know the right symptoms to look for, then once you get all your symptoms alleviated, through dosage titration and schedule adjustment, between week 10-12 you get follow up labs to see if any further titration is needed.
Its definitely a process and there is no right or wrong way to do it (within reason), you just gotta figure out what works best for you. You have the three main components so its a good start.

Nope, the chart they sent me says 50 units HCG twice a week.

Well either they made a mistake or they are wasting your time with too small of a dose. There are insulin units and there are international units.
You could very well be doing 50 insulin units but that does not tell us much about your dosage, as 50 insulin units contains x amount of international units of HCG and x is determined by how much BAC water you mixed with the HCG initially.
So gear head is wanting to know how many international units of HCG you are doing.
If you know the size of the HCG vial and can tell us how much water you mixed it with, we can tell you the concentration and then we will know how many international units of HCG 50 insulin units equates too.
Hope this makes sense.

I get my package Monday so I'll let you know then. The video they sent me said they send you a 10ml bottle of water but to only use 5ml when mixing the HCG, if that helps any.

Your HCG concentration will be 1200 units per mL. 50 actual units would mean that your vial contains 120 doses, or over a years worth. That would be odd.
If what is actually meant is the "50 units" marking on a 1cc U100 insulin syringe, that would be 10 doses at 600 units each.
Between these two, the latter makes more sense. You should clarify if your instructions are not clear.
They sent me two vials of HCG and a 20ml vial of BAC water, I believe one vial of HCG is a months worth. Per instructions, draw 5ml of BAC water and inject it into one vial of HCG. Inject 50 units twice a week with insulin needle.

What volume of liquid will you be injecting and how are you measuring it? Probably 0.5mL, or half of a 1cc insulin syringe.
Just understand that this is not 50 units of HCG, but a volume that would be 50 units of U100 insulin.
It is 600 units of HCG because your HCG as prepared is 12 times more concentrated.

A T level of 408 can result from:
being overweight
Sedentary lifestyle
Poor diet
Poor sleep
Alcohol/drugs
Wife just had a baby
Nasal or other steroids
I would get tested several times at different times of the day to get a baseline. Don't let a guy in a white coat push you into a life of TRT.
If you are dialed in on your supplements, eat well and exercise and your T level remains in the 400s then it's worth looking into but only then.

It will say how many IU's on the prescriptions label. We just need to know that. Based on the water they sent seems like they are 10,000 IU vials.
I'm not over weight.
I workout 6-7 days a week.
Diet is good but according to blood work I take it too much protein.
My sleep could be better, usually 6 hours a night.
I only drink maybe once or twice a year, no recreational drug use for me.
My girlfriend and I don't want kids.
I've done 3 steroid cycles.
I'll look at the prescriptions label when I get home. But one vial of HCG 6000iu's mixed with 5ml of BAC water is a months worth. Injections twice a week for a month would be 8 injections a month. so 6,000iu's divided by 8 would be 750iu's per injection, right?

Yea they could def be 6,000 IU's and you can dose it like that. I personally (under your doctors permission of course) would mix it with 3ml and inject 0.25ml or 25 insulin units twice a week to start.
That would give you a dosage of 500IU twice per week.
