How long does it take for test to shut you down

[CommanderZander]

Hypothetically, if someone were to take 500mg a week of test enanthate, divided into two shots per week, how long would it take for the test to shut them down completely?
Does it shut you down any quick if a higher dose is used?

The higher doses shouldn't alter the time it takes to shut you down very much. The number varies depending on age, environmental factors, and genes (PDE7B gene as far as bioavailability goes particularly), but most males make between 4-8mg of natural test a day. Let's call it 50mg a week on a good week.

Once your body detects doses above what is supposed to be in your body it will shut natural test down. Now depending on the ester it takes some time before enough test in biologically available, anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours or so, to begin shut you down.

People do not think low doses shut you down but it really doesn't take much. I think it is safe to assume that your natural test has already started to shut down the day of injecting.

Well I've been on cycle for 1 week now using the protocol stated above and I haven't experienced any noticeable testicular atrophy

Lol. How old are you?

[Buster Brown]

You should be shut down with in a week.

So does this mean that the gear is fake?

We don't have nearly enough information to even begin to tell you if your gear is fake. Let's go with Cape's post and start by posting some stats and information.

What is causing you to suspect your gear is bunk?

[CommanderZander]

No testicular atrophy

This made me laugh pretty hard

[600@50]

No testicular atrophy

Everyone is different but I didn't notice any testicular atrophy on my TRT dose for about 6 months. The jewels started to get sore after about 3 months however. Never experienced atrophy while on a cycle.

[RangerDanger830]

Even before using HCG I never noticed it either. You need to read a little more on what you're sticking into your body. Nevermind your slightly low age.
