testosterone C want to switch from 200mg to 400mg per week

Glad to see your Doctor did the LC/MS-MS version for Total Testosterone.

As the Regular Serum Testosterone is Capped @ 1,500 Ng/dl.

The LC/MS-MS version isn't Capped, so you get the Actual amount of Total Test.

What was your Estradiol when your Total Test was @ 2046 Ng/dl.
As your Total Test goes up, so does the amount of Aromatization.
So usually you need to increase the amount of AI to compensate......................... JP
 
Thanks guys- sooo appreciate the imput- my doc- when reviewing everything in the blood work of course ask how I feel, etc., etc., libido, etc., and I feel awesome- had no idea what my numbers were when he asked me that- but I have felt so much better with 400mg of test E per week then I even did with 200mg of test E per week- so when I saw my test number in at 2,045 and I kinda freaked- i.e. is that too out of the range- he said as long as everything checked ok- and I was staying on the HCG, etc., and the Androzole - etc- I was fine to try another few months with the 400mg of Test E BUT then he ask how I feel going back to 200mg of Test E per week but now adding 200mg of DECA to that each week- what do you think guys ? Will 200mg of Test E and 200mg of DECA feel as good or help as much as the 400mg of Test E did ?
 
I say try it and see :) Your doc sounds awesome so if you don't like it just save some up and run it with 400 when he bumps you back up. It'll for sure help then. Lol.
Not many people will be a la to accurately answer this one for ya. Some people respond really well to deca (huge gains) , some people respond poorly (no extra gains) and some people respond HORRIBLY (deca dick and depression). Great that it'll be pharmaceutical. If my doc would write me I would try it.
After others chime in , let us know what ya decide. Exciting journey bro. Congrats

Thanks buddy- Curious- if this is even something that anyone can answer- is 400mg of Test E per week (which gave me test level over 2,000 and free test score over 700) better or 200mg of Test E and 200mg of DECA per week better for gains ? I keep reading how 200mg of DECA won't do anything but possibly help with joints- but then getting a test level over 2,000 from 400mg of test E weekly- didn't think that would happen either- just curious what ya think. Again- thanks! I get 15 min with my "TrT doc". and he has a waiting room of guys waiting so I never get all my questions answered-
 
Thanks guys. Regarding paragraphs I usually am typing on my iPhone so wasn***8217;t paying attention to run on sentences. Current status I***8217;m still off everything for a few more days. Doc will then do another blood sample. Then I need to decide if I wanna go 200mg text e plus 200my Deca per week or just do another 400mg test e without the Deca. Curious what you guys think regarding the either this or that option.

great thread so far, yes splitting paragraphs is essential, when are you getting bloods done again?

Will start the new program (200mg of Test E and 200mg of DECA per week- but taken in divided two shots) this coming week, then I'm scheduled for blood work 6 weeks out- right now I am running on 2,000test and 700 free test.... but everything else looks good in the blood work- will be curious to see how dropping back down to 200mg of Test E and adding the DECA will effect my workouts, strength, sleep, etc., etc., thanks!

200mg per week puts a lot of people well above normal and then around 1k by the time of next injection. If this is the case for you then I think the deca will help immensely. Good luck bro. Keep us posted
 
Thanks bro. Am hoping only 290mg if Deca will help with the TrT dose. So many of the sites say that the Deca dose is way too low to do anything but st the same time I’m not comfortable about injecting overload of Deca and the doc wouldn’t wrote a script I’m sure. The 200TRT test E and 200mg Deca is the docs idea instead of going back to 400 testE per week without Deca. Thanks again
 
Personally, if my doc would let me do 400 per week, I would just stay on 400 all the time and leave the deca alone. That way.....I could blast with deca on my own for short bursts between doc visits. :) best of both worlds
 
LateStart- Curious- as this is the week I'm about to begin the 200mg of Test E (injected 100mg every 3.5 days per week) if I were to hold off on the Deca (keep is for now) and do as you suggested- how would you suggest I do the blast of Deca while on the "TrT dose" of Test E of 200mg per week ? I only have a 10mL bottle of Deca for now but doc will sell me another when I am scheduled to be finished with it- I have read that you should always inject more Test then Deca to help with side effects, etc., so if I were to go say 300-400mg of Deca per week (once I have the 2nd bottle of mL) I'd probably also need to blast more Test E right ? as it stands now- tomorrow is when I start the TrT 200mg per week of Test E.... either with Deca or not- open to suggestions- of course, my doc is doing blood work and probably expecting to see blood work based on 200mg of Test E per week and 200mg of Deca per week- which is what he set me up to do....

I totally appreciate this info as well- I need to clarify something that I kept forgetting to put into my LONG wording- after the first TrT starting at 125-150mg finally at 200mg per week my testosterone came in at just under 1,000. My doc then suggested I stop the test E for two full weeks- taking nothing the next 10 days he had me injecting HCG and taking clomid- (for 10 days after the two week break).

In conversation with him when I went in for blood work- he agreed to let me bump up to 400mg per week so long as I continued the training and had blood work and mini physicals with him- this doc has an office in my gym by the way- when I was taking the 400mg of Test E per week (split into two shots like I did before) for about 2.5 months- my testosterone went to just over 2,000 with free test just over 700. He said everything else checked out heart, blood pressure, blood work- but didn’t think I should continue on the 400mg per week of Test E long term-

That is when he said if I wanted to try going back to the 200mg of Test E per week (split into two doses- he’s big on that) we could add the Decca at 200mg per week as well- I still haven’t started that program yet- as I am kinda cleansing (word he uses) so he can take some more blood work.

Before starting the 200mg of Test E and 200mg of DECA per week (both split into two doses) I was wondering if that would be beneficial for me in the gym- guess we really don’t know till I try this new regimen out. He also spoke to me about injectable amino acids that do something with a persons natural growth hormone production- I am along with a few more guys at different ages) am part of a special program with this guy- but he’s not treating us like lab rats- I am 26 by the way, and am the youngest in the program- there is a guy in his 40’s, even on in his 70’s that is in fantastic physical condition. he monitors the diet, the exercise we do, etc., etc.,

I’m not thinking of this amino acids injection to help GH production as of yet- but am considering the 200mg of Test E and 200mg of DECA per week (split into two doses) at my session with the doc this afternoon- when I talked about this new protocol - he did advise me that I should NOT be going back to 400mg of Test E per week- that I should not be in the 2,000 range long term- it kinda echos what you are saying as well… I’m just not sure if the DECA add on will do anything since it’s only 200mg of DECA per week- but I’ll still be on the TEST E per week- one of the guys is going to try these injections- was told they are not actual GH injections- but amino acids and something else- that will stimulate a persons only GH to release- there are only so many shots I want to take per week-

That being said- he suggested something (to add to the 200mg of Test and 200mg of DECA) L-Arginine injections that I am to take about an hour before my workouts- I would stop by his office for the shot- then hit the weights at the gym directly after- he said there are studies that L-Arginine injections just before a workout will stimulate HG production-

Lots of stuff to read here I know- but you clearly know a lot (several of the guys here do) so I am soaking up any knowledge I can about all this stuff-

I do have to say- that guy who is 76 is amazing - when I spoke with him- he has worked out most of his life- and always been clean- only now he is on TrT to help with gravity he says-- he might do the amino acids injections to stimulate his own GH production. Will be interesting to see how he progresses.

Thanks all
 
Hi gang. I***8217;ve been on the test E (200mg per week) and DECA (200mg per week) split the dose into two shots weekly ***8212;-now for almost ten weeks and loving the change in the gym. However in the last week or two I am starting to discover what Deca Dick means***55358;***56618;. Whereas usually I***8217;m shooting a good load 2 maybe 3 times a day. The last two weeks I have trouble getting hard and if I can get hard it doesn***8217;t last and I finally just give up and go to the gym

I have heard and read about Deca Dick. It with a dose of only 200mg per week and matching it with test E200mg per week I didn***8217;t think it would happen. So question ***8212;-is it the DECA or maybe I***8217;m just tired from too much gym. Also how to I make it go away ? I am thinking I will stop the DECAat the 10th week anyway so hopefully that is all it will take ?? I have two more bottles of DECA and was origins,lay planning to stay on this low 200mg of DECA for several mor wepeks but dointwant to kill off the sex stuff. Any ideas anyone ? Thanks!,

Are you running an AI ?
Have you checked estro levels with bloodwork ?
What about HCG ?
Running any caber ?

One of those or several are most likely the culprit.

I think Santa is right on this one, likely to be estrogen. 200 deca, first time, and for such a short period of time is unlikely to cause deca dick.

For 200 Test E and 200 Deca /wk rule of thumb would require 0.13 mg adex EOD or 3.2 mg aromasin ED. Those are small amounts, kind of hard to chop up a pill or cut open a capsule to get there, but that would be my first attempt to fix this.
 
Tankmanbob and santa666. you guys ROCK- awesome- I don't think it's the 200mg of DECA per week either- I had been having joint pain for some time- so much so that I sometimes can't even touch my toes or pickup a cup of coffee- so my primary doc sent me to a rheumatologist who ran a blood panel and then prescribed something called Cymbalta- which is normally used as an anti depressant or something but it also seems to work for diabetic neuropathy ( I am a type I diabetic since childhood by the way). so I began taking 60mg of Cymbalta three weeks ago- and it does seem to help a LOT with the joint pain- so I got around to checking things out online- and turns out that in a small percentage of people taking Cymbalta- it KILLS libido- something about the area of the brain the drug works on to eliminate nerve pain, etc., the drug does the same for your dick- Then I found blogs on this shit- and people who had been on it for years- having not had sex for years- and wives complaining that their husbands are suddenly limp- So I emailed the doc and she confirmed that is exactly what is happening to me- THEN she suggested I get Viagra from my primary doc-c. guess that's what docs do - prescribe shit ? I (before Cymbalta anyway) orgasim daily- and sometimes on the weekend 2 or 3 times - I'd be taking mega amounts of Viagra -

She confirmed there are other drugs that treat these inflammation area- but they might also fuck with a guys dick- that we'd have to keep trying one till we found one that worked- GEEZE.

I'm in my 20's- why the hell would I want to be needing Viagra to do what I was doing with no issues only three weeks ago- so now we are phasing the drug out and I have an appointment to see her in two weeks- to discuss "other drug options".

Sucks- it's either surgery or drugs in the medical field- yet- if my primary care doc or this Rheumatologist heard the words testosterone or TrT therapy of -hell- DECA- they'd freak out on me saying it's so bad for you-

Anyway- long long story-but hopefully it will help others- and I am guessing (like you guys said) it's not 200mg of DECA.... I was only on it with 10 weeks- do you think it's ok to just start up the DECA again ? I'm on testosterone E for life (due to super low testosterone-) thanks again guys!
