Restarting TRT question about dosage?

[Tbol]

well I tried PCT again and i have sleep apnea and no recovery at all.
So I have decided that since life without libido is NO LIFE
that I am going to jump back in and do this again.

My doc wrote me a script for test cyp for 5 months it is 200mg every two weeks.

I tried it before that way and did two shots and in four weeks i did not see any results except more energy.

I am now finding out it can take up to 5 weeks and in some people several months to get their levels normalized.

My doctor wants me to do it every two weeks but since I inject myself I could do 100mg every week which is what everyone says is better,

QUESTION. will my doc know thru bloodwork that I have changed my injections from bi-weekly to weekly and does it matter?

with hrt the docs usually have you do the shot 1 x every 2-3 weeks --you know this-- the reason they do this is they say that you have a large rise and a gradual decline then shot again raises it back up
in doing less doseage shots every week you will not have such a rise and fall--so to be on the safe side I would time blood work to when you are due for the shot
but with doses of 100mg every week to 200 mg every other there should not be a huge difference anyway--its not like you doing cycle size dosages of 500mg to 1000mg per week that would really raise test levels

did you mention the idea of doing EW with the doc, just wondering ...

and when did he tell you to do bloodwork-was he specific-because my doc asked after the fact "when did you do your bloodwork?"

i am prescribed E3W but inject when I feel like it. which right now is EW...had done biweekly in the past

yeah I mentioned ew to my doc and he wanted me to do every other week at first. I can tell that I felt a gradual decline when I did it that way.

I have a question. My test levels are ROCK BOTTOM and I have no libido and I mean zero now.

I read that It can take 3 to 6 months for the levels to stabilize and for you to reach you full effect from a dosage when your test levels have been real low.

Is this true?

Because I know after 4 weeks I did not see a lot of improvement but I only did two shots in 4 weeks two weeks apart so (200mg every two weeks)

[Tapout]

it can take awhile--just remember --how long were they low--they wont be perfect over night

If necessary, take it - since you are self injecting - even twice a week. I self-inject IM 50 mg Test Cyp on Monday morning and then again on Thursday evening (i.e., every 3.5 days or twice a week). Total Es and E2 level increases are minimal as not that much T is hitting the system (to be aromatased) at one time since I am taking such lower doses.

I use the 3ml syrine w/22 gauge 1 1/2" needle to draw the 50 mg from the vial and then switch over to a 25-gauge 1" needle to self-inject into Quads (uper edge of side fo Quads - not in the front). Also I ice the area of the shot for about 1 minute before injecting. I never feel anything at all.

And best of all, my T levels stay pretty consistent in the 600 - 700 range versus the swings that I got before (and for me, "before" was 100mg every week... it turns out that I have a super efficient P450 enzyme system and it tends to metabolize testosterone from my system faster than normal, so I would get the swing with a drop to low normal or even below normal by the end of the week!)
