trt, does it work? here is my take

Congrats 3J. That is good to hear you are alleviating those symptoms. Yeah 200mg per week might be a little much but I personally like starting higher and then lower back down if you need to. 100mg per week puts me at 800 Total T. However, everyone is different so you will just have to make adjustments. I will say that it took me 1 full calendar year to dial in everything. Don't get me wrong, I was feeling great right off the bat but I had to experiment quite a bit.
 
yea i know it will take some time.. esp with estrogen.. i aroma fairly easy.. at 500mg weekly my e2 was at 165 without an ai.. so i know ill have to work the dosages to correct it

Find dat sweet spot. I like to be at 3000 ng/dl ATLEAST.


Haha, i kid guys. Find dat sweet spot man. I'm sure your going to feel amazing once you dial everything into the right ranges. This is only the beginning :)
 
yea.. looking forward to years of crusing and blasting... was always jealous of the guys that could do that and not worry about hpta issues due to trt
 
imo would be better to start on 100mgs per week split up into two injections and forego the AI altogether.
But BW will tell.
Glad you're feeling better! Make sure to get the sensitive estrogen panel when you test

Low T sucks. But the good news is that treatment is usally very effective. You'll be feeling great soon enough! Sounds like you are off to a good start so far.
 
just a quick update.. third injection was yesterday... libido is through the roof...
 
Wow 200-250 a week. Why would your physician start you off at that dose? That is just crazy. The goal of trt is get you in range with the lowest dosage possible. You should have been given 100mg/week for 6-8 weeks and retest for peak and trough. If you are still not in the upper range then yes it would make sense to up your dose. You're going to feel like superman for a few months then come down hard. Look up TRT and Adrenal Fatigue. It happened to myself and a few buddies of mine.

As you know the absorption rate is different for everyone. For myself, 200mg/week put me over 1400 on day seven. A good friend of mine takes 200mg/week and is right below 600. So you may very well need 200mg/week, but I really think you should have started at a lower dose. Just my two cents. Good luck brother..
 
You have the list of symptoms right 3J!!
1. is getting up in the morning. I had high 200's and use CPAP machine so I am getting a restful nights sleep.
Could sleep 8-9 hours and wake up not so fresh....
anything less than 6 hours (if disturbed to wake up early)....was dragging myself.

After being off TRT for 16 months and then starting where I left off at 160 mg/week of T and injecting all at once this dose....
was a bit of a shock to my system bro....
felt my senses start to heighten after 3 hours...
couldn't sleep at regular bed time for first 2-3 weeks of going back on.
System was shocked at hat it was like having regular hormones in it again.

as a guy with low SHBG that does not "feel" trt at all and gets no libido boost on it whatsoever, I am jealous of guys that do. Congratulations!
