Gotta have test levels just right for drs. Visit/ lab test

**Dobie-BOY** · 10-12-2018, 04:55 PM

So, I need my test levels to be about 150 on my labs. I have been takin 1 ml of test cyp 250 for years, but I gotta get a script for test. So, my last dose of 250 mgs of cyp was on the 2nd of this month and my lab draw is on the 29th, but I wanna keep my test levels up until a couple days before the lab test. So, my thought is to take 60 mgs of prop eod for up until the 20th And then drop the prop until after the blood draw. Kinda worried my levels are gonna be too high. I think my test levels are around 1300 on 250 of cyp a week. Any thoughts/ suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Play it safe, drop your dosage to nothing and order self paid labs several weeks prior to your Dr visit.

Your plan leaves little room for adjustment. I typically drop a blast dosage 8 weeks before my appointment and go to my scripted dosage, then pull self ordered labs 4 weeks after that which still allows 4 weeks for dosage tweaks.

Why do you need your T to be low? Are you trying to get prescribed TRT? If so, know that most insurance companies will want 2 consecutive sets of labs indicating the need for TRT.

Also, keep in mind if your Dr. feels like you may be playing the system, you will ruin your relationship with your Dr. and also make it tougher for those that legitimately need TRT.

Also your lh fsh will be tanked indicating you've been using.

Stop every thing at least 6-8 weeks prior.

Feel like shit? Yeah you will.

Get your script? Way better chance if you have low t and a somewhat functioning of lh fsh

Well I have never had a doctor test my LH or FSH. I don't know that why they would if I don't request it since I'm the one paying for it

This is your first time going? Or are you currently on trt?

It is typically part of the panels that are run when trying to assess hypogonadism.

Unless your doctor lets you write the script, testing for Lh and FSH would be automatic when trying to determine the cause for hypogonadism. Normally it's not tested for until you get older and/or report possible low T symptoms.
