    How long should I wait?

    Pinned last 2ml test last week.Perscribed 2 ml a week by crappy dr. I was told to wait a week to get bw for TRT. I plan on getting BW the first of next week. I have on hand cjc and ghrp. Should I go ahead and cycle After BW or wait til after TRT Or bad idea all together?

    If a doc is prescribing you 400 mgs per week for TRT he has no clue what he's doing. Or do you mean 200 mgs?
    BW when initiating TRT should be around the 6 week mark.
    You should not cycle at all until dialed in via BW, which is normally at least two sets of BW assuming titrations will be made after the initial BW.

    Prescription reads inject intramuscular 1ml twice a month. Bottle reads
    2000mg/10ml (200 mg/ml).
    That did nothing for me so I tryed 1ml a week and I felt slightly better. It gone now and I'd be willing to bet my free test is already low but don't want to chance anything so I'll wait till Monday and get bw.

    Did nothing for you? What were you expecting? You don't get "instant results" from testosterone. It can take multiple months for your body to find homeostasis and reap the benefits of TRT.

    How your doctor prescribed your test indicates he does not understand hormones or their half-lives whatsoever. Injections need to be weekly at a minimum and even then your dose is most likely too much. An average starting dose is usually 100mgs per week. Then BW is pulled app 6 wks later and titrations are made. Know that more is not better with testosterone when it comes to TRT. And pinning 400mgs is basically a cycle dosage. TRT and cycling are two completely different animals.

    You need to find another doctor who knows hormones. You also need to self-educate yourself before you have issues. Read the stickies in the HRT Forum and interact there.

    Kelkel, I'm not the best writer. Let me say it this way.
    1ml/200 twice a month did little to nothing but 1ml/200 weekly was great. I was Not going to get continously treated for low T so I tried different ways but only 2ml/400 the last bit and only once. I tried .5ml weekly, and one ml weekly which is not what I was prescribed but what I felt I needed. Sex is great, great moods and everything else. Until yesterday when I contacted lowtdotcom, I thought I was doomed.
    I was just asking but I'll wait till after treatment and second bw. I don't want to mess this up.
    BTW, Im Taking Adderall for ADHD and I think it lowers my overall test too.It feels like it does but then again I sometimes get great workouts on it.

    The way your presented was rather confusing. LowT will be top notch compared to your current doctor. Just stick with their protocol and don't alter it.
    All this takes time so please have patience.

    I will be patient. I've read alot and I have a better understanding now of half life too. I have a pretty hard routine compared to most weekend warriors. My gains for a natural guy that's skinny have been great. Pumps(muscles swollen) usually only last a couple hours But Tuesday I worked my chest and tris and I'm still tighter than usual. I don't know if it's because I've got over a hump or better protein or just test.
    I completely understand results gains don't happen in days, weeks or months and health is important. I'm glad I found guys like yall to educate me.
    Thanks again to everyone.
