Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) 1cc every 3 week's?

TRT 1cc every 3 week's?

Just curious if anyone else has an endo that perscribes them 1cc of cyp every 3 week's. I had to laugh at the nurse when she called me back today after 4 month's of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and my t-level came in at 356 and she said I was doing great. Well the range is 280-800, 75 points above the lowest is great to them, lol.

Anyone else inject that little on trt?

Hell no. Your levels are probably approaching the dirt by the beginning of week 3. Research has proven that method doesn't work.
Even bi-weekly will leave you feeling like shit. 100-150mg of cyp per week is good to restore
where your levels would be naturally, without
going up and down...

I didn't want to be to patronizing to her but that is exactly what I said and she was like well I don't know what your reading but this is how it's done. Then I said I'm sure 375 look's great to you but 75 points above the bottom of the barrell is not so great to me. I contacted another endo and they even laughed and if my current endo doesn't up it then I'm switching. Every 10 day's is fine but 21 day's when the ester only lasts 14 days WTF. She said she has patients on 1cc once a month, go fiqure. I'd like once a week personally to keep a stable level but we will see.

a lot of us here have gone through similiar experiences. The half life is 12-14 days but the active life is 5-6 which is why once per week is better and some even say 2x per week is best
You want to shoot for the upper end of the range 750-850 is way better then 500
and yes many of us are at 100-200mg per week

call Chip is what I would do
and always get copies of your blood work

yea- agreed - every 3 weeks is ridiculous - i would use a sustaplex if i was gonna do that. the nurse has no idea of test 1/2 lives and thats why they thinks this works. just take the dose and break up into 3 injections weekly. much better results.

on another note - what up DLOVE? you were th first guy i communicated on this site with 1.5 years ago. always like your posts
