    HRT Frequency Question

    My doc gave me the ability to self administer. His prescrip for me is 300 mg every two weeks.

    The problem is that at day 10 I take a nose dive and feel like total shiz.

    Question: Is it ok to split the dose and do weekly? Will it help me stay level?

    I trust the advice on this site, but I am also a neo so I apologize if I missed this somewhere.

    Thanks,

    Ute

    You could do either 150mgs per week, or do 75mgs bi-weekly Monday and Thursday injections. Most HRT'ers on this board opt for bi-weekly injections as it helps to keep blood levels more stable. Whatever you decide, good luck.

    Iron,

    Have same script as you....i do twice a week injections....Friday morning and Monday afternoon....now there is no crash....just a level playing field....you can go to any vet supply store and get the pins....18's and 23's....they just spin on and off....draw with the fat one and take your time with the injection with the skinny.....

    just remember M8, that more is not better so stay with the amount of the script, just split it into qtrs ....i hated the crash so i upped the amount along with the bi-weekly injections.....not so smart....backed it off and feel great again.

    Glad you are back on the path to feeling good....

    What kind of test do you have. Cyp is okay for once a week but other like enth need to be done twice a week.

    You pretty much answered your own question though by saying that you crash in day 10. Once a week will be better.

    Been on 200mg Cyp 1x week, with HCG on the 5th day. (HCG on Wed, Cyp on Friday) Almost a year like this with no crashes. Doc adjusts the MG depending on my blood work. 150-200 week is where he keeps me. Been great, lost a shit load of fat in the year, on my final 20 pounds now.

    Did you take hcg from the start or did you start it some time later?

    Doc put me on HCG a month into the program. Natural Test Values were super low and he is a believer on treating all aspects. Has me on Estrogen Blockers as well. 1 capsule- 5xweek. This is truley the way to go by having a doc monitor everything and be cool enough to understand the how our bodies need this stuff to work properly. 1 year ago I felt like hell, stressed out. Heavy as crap, couldnt sleep. People I havent seen in a while trip out with how much I have changed. Eating right, sleeping good. Lifting/Cardio 6 x week. Find a good doctor and stick with him/her. My wife loves it since I have the drive of a 18 y/o.


    Next appt I am going for some Deca , i saw it in the pharm last time and I am ready to add a little more to the program.
