for people on HRT (trt)

[phatkid77]

HEY GUYS.....im about to start HRT thru my doctor..im 30yrs old..anyway

does anyone here "play" with there dose in hopes of getting more prescribed?

for example...my doc may write for 200mg every two weeks....im guessing if i get my blood re-tested just before my one shot is due, my levels would still be low??? so would they...

1. switch to 100mg every week (which i am going to do anyway)
2. or would they up the dose...

on 100mg every week, im going to do it in two shots to keep levels constant, BUT again.....if they switch to every week shots...should i just do it 1x wk until i get retested incase my levels are low, and maybe i can get 120-150/wk prescribed????

or does doing 2x week only benefit E2 levels (estrogen conversion)

just curious... im asking here because im sure this is not permitted in the HRT forum...

im probably going by the book anyway, i just want to feel normal...just curious about maybe getting alittle more...

Why not 250mgs per week? Ask the Dr. why not? Thats what 95% of amps made from 1980-1999 were made at 250mgs per ml! Why not 250mgs per week? I'm sorry but i'm probably the wrong guy to ask...
Goodluck though,

What your doctor is prescribing is pretty much a normal HRT dose. I would definetly do the shots at least once a week. I have seen more get prescribed but perhaps this is just a starting point until he can evaluate your blood tests.

yeah, im thinking 100mg/wk....
i basically begged my GP... I have a urologist appt, but in OCTOBER!! so whatever i get will be that likely until october......im happy i guess..HUGE ORDEAL FOR MY GP TO GIVE IT TO ME.......because im "normal"
