TRT questions

[durak]

I have some basic questions about TRT. Here is my stuff from another post. the questions are below.

age 32, ht 5'10, 185lbs, serum test 240

First cycle 12 yrs ago.

My TRT doctor prescribed me the following. He seemed willing to make any adjustments I wanted.
after visit we arrived at the following:

10 wks
Cypionate 200mg wk
Anastrozole 1mg twice wk
Tamoxifen 1/2 tab twice wk

Weeks 4-10
Stanozolol 50mg EOD

Post Cycle:
HCG 2000 Units for 5 days 1000 units for 10 days (to begin HCG 2 weeks after last injection). Then start Clomid 51 mg daily for 14 days.

---------------------------------

Each of these questions concern use of the medication, dose, freq, and necessity.

1. In theory how much will 200mg of cyp raise serum levels at peak? I know there are a lot of other factors but whats a good guess. Same for 400mg or 600mg?

2. Are the AIs really necessary from day 1 or is it just increasing my costs. The dr. talked about anastrozole and tamoxifin creating an "estrogen sandwich" that is as valuable as preventing estrogen symptoms.

3. My dr wants all to be on trt cycles so every 10-20 weeks you stop AAS for two weeks then do 2 weeks of PCT to prevent get everything working again (pituitary and natural test). So here come HCG and Clomid. Necessary?

4. I can request anything from Dr and get it (has to be made at their compounding pharmacy) So maybe a different strategy for short-term goals vs long-term use?

5. BTW it was really cool to drop a HUGH sack of pins and the vials of AAS in a bin and hand it to the security screener at the airport for inspection!

That sounds kind of like what I did/do, so I can tell you how those dosages affected me.

1) 200 mg/wk raised my total levels from 140 to about 575. The range for my free testosterone had a high of 155 and 200 mg/week put me at 185.
2) I took/take 0.5 mg of anastrozole twice weekly and that works well. I would try 0.5 mg and see how that works before going to 1 mg tabs. I'm not sure what he means by an "estrogen sandwich" but my gut tells me that you don't need the tamoxifin.
3) Yes, if you stop the test, you'll need to do some HCG.

I do want to advise you against the Winstrol for weeks 4-10. My stats are very close to yours, and I did the same dose of winstrol as you for 6 weeks also. It gave me no noticeable change in anything, except it raised my cholesterol levels from 212 to 365. The injection pain is terrible as well, almost to the point where I couldn't work out. I considered it to be a total waste of money. The doc said it would help me to lose fat, but after doing a little research on here it was clear to me that it wasn't going to do that, and it didn't.

^^^ above looks good

Weeks 4-10
Stanozolol 50mg EOD

^^^^supprised he would give you that but go for it

Post Cycle:
HCG 2000 Units for 5 days 1000 units for 10 days (to begin HCG 2 weeks after last injection). Then start Clomid 51 mg daily for 14 days.

^^^^my guess is that it will bring ya up to 600+ for test levels

2. Are the AIs really necessary from day 1 or is it just increasing my costs. The dr. talked about anastrozole and tamoxifin creating an "estrogen sandwich" that is as valuable as preventing estrogen symptoms.

^^^^my thoughts on estrogen are treat it when you start seeing the issues - how ever if you are estro sensitive or have had issues before use it... other wise wait

3. My dr wants all to be on trt cycles so every 10-20 weeks you stop AAS for two weeks then do 2 weeks of PCT to prevent get everything working again (pituitary and natural test). So here come HCG and Clomid. Necessary?

^^^^i would ask that question to ronnie rowland sling shot training - hit search and you will find him.... any ways my op is every ten weeks at lets say 200 mgs a week cut your shots to 100 mgs for two weeks then bump it back up to 200...

4. I can request anything from Dr and get it (has to be made at their compounding pharmacy) So maybe a different strategy for short-term goals vs long-term use?

^^^^what you have listed is pretty good - stay with that and see how you feel then make ajustments later

5. BTW it was really cool to drop a HUGH sack of pins and the vials of AAS in a bin and hand it to the security screener at the airport for inspection!

^^^^same here bro actually i yelled at him not to touch too much lol

Thank you.

Was thinking about adding Clen and T3 from ar-r to the back part of the cycle. Never used either. Maybe that instead of the winstrol? I already bought it but I can just hold onto it.
