Im with a new dr having me on 100mg every 14days if test cyp. I had a head injury 17yrs ago and was thinking my igf1 levels would be really low but weren't. Im going to see if I can have the pituitary stim test done.
What are you alls thoughts?

3 weeks of no shot... is that from being between doctors?

100mg every 14 days is very unlikely to produce satisfactory results. Too little and too infrequent. You'll peak at 700 and drop to 200 before the next shot (my estimate).

Try to get your doctor to agree to 100mg per 7 days as a starting point.

A little too soon to see if this is what your pituitary can do as it's likely still waking up. Totally agree with mprtz.

yes first doc had me on 200mg a month. he was a goon. I put myself on 50/wk. felt ok but not up to par. I could tell it wasn't enough. New doc has me on this for 6wks and then said she will likely move me to 200 every 10

From 100mg every 14 days to 200mg every 10 days? What is wrong with these people?

"That dose is a little low... but why don't you suffer through it for six weeks for no particular reason. Then we'll make a weensy adjustment and TRIPLE it!"

Are you going to be able to self inject?
