Uping my dosage of Depo-Testosterone

[tlow2013]

My doctor gave me a prescription for .5CC of 200MG Depo-Testosterone every other week. I am now going to a Urologist because that dosage wasn't working at all for me. The Urologist moved me up to the same dosage every week. How long typically will I have to wait till I notice a difference?

Thanks in advance for any responses

I don't speak from experience but 2-3 months... stick with it and don't give up on it after a month.

Do you self-inject? If not, just buy some needles and syringes online and increase the frequency to 100 mg a week

I do self inject, that is my current protocol, .5cc of 200MG every week, which I guess works out to 100MG every week. I did my injection on Friday afternoon and by Monday I was feeling kinda crappy and today I woke up feeling like garbage. Just wondering if my E is an issue.

E2 could be a problem. No way to know for sure though without a blood . Go get one done.

Splitting your dose again and injecting twice per week could help smooth you out too. Lot's of guys here inject twice per week (every 3.5 days).

Just got blood work done yesterday, a little concerned that I didn't see anything about estrogen on the slip, just Testosterone, LH, FSH, Prolactin, and Urinalisis.

No need to do labs on LH and FSH after one starts taking exogenous test because they will be knocked down to near zero and be meaningless.

4-6 weeks to get feeling the test....start taking Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) 250iu MWF for a better experience.

I guess he's trying to figure out if i'm primary or secondary! 4-6 weeks even though I've been doing bi-weekly injections for a month prior to moving up to weekly? also what is the better experience with Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) ok for lifetime use? I'm not looking for building mass, I just want to feel better!

 

[flyrs]

I'd give it 8 weeks from the start of the bi-weekly pins.
HCG helps to keep the testicles from shrinking into raisins and it helps the mood and other things, there are Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) recptors throughout the body, just google testosterone and HCG...Dr. Crisler wrote about it.
Yes, it's ok for lifetime use.

I'll give it some time and wait to see how my bloodwork comes back. My doctor does treat low t with Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) for guys that are still looking to have kids so if my dosage has to go up, maybe I can talk him into using Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) along with the test. If my bloodwork comes back that I have testicular failure Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) would be useless!
