    Testosterone won't go up?

    I've been on test cyp for around 3 months now.. I am currently taking 200mg
    a week. My test is the same as it was prior to starting.. How can this be?

    Are you self administering? Bump it up is what I'd do.

    Yes I am, but man.. im taking 200mg a week.. I just dont understand why I would still be exactly the same as when I wasnt shooting up. It has to be converting into something.. I am just a little confused.. what is happening to all this testosterone?? Either that or something is binding to my receptors.. or my receptors are just not working right.. In that case, maybe the problem isnt that my body isnt producing enough test.. it is something else all together..

    I wonder if it is possible to get bad gear from a pharmacy, like a tech steals it and replaces it with cottonseed oil or something.

    Really odd. Could it be bad receptors? What kind of doc are you seeing?

    never. 200mg should have moved your TT up. so you're saying it didn't change at all?

    I have not. Have you been pulling from the same bottle the whole time. You might try another batch if that is the case. I would go see an endo too instead of a GP.

    Actually no. For the first 2 months, my doc would shoot me. I just recently started. I am going in today for some more blood work. So, we shall see..

    Also, I have been noticing a little bit of thinning on my head.. I am curious to know whether it is the testosterone or the aderall I take.. I am considering purchasing some dutast possibly for research purposes (if you know what I mean.) Anyone done any research with the dutast from the research site? Is it legit?

    I heard the research stuff from here is legit, but I have never tried.
    Test will cause you to lose hair faster if you are prone to it. Update with your results when you get them. If your doc can't figure it out soon then go to an endo. Seriously, I wouldn't screw with it. I would stay away from anything extra like the research stuff until you find out why you are not responding to 200mg a week.

    If your free testosterone is 98 and the laboratory's average is 50 to 200, your level is not low. Forget total testosterone, the fact it's low means nothing.

    Anyway , considering you're taking 200mg.a week , I agree that you should have a bit more than 98 , but not necessary.

    Just in case , check your estrogen level together with DHT , part of your testosterone might be converted .

    cheers.
