TEST levels

**uphjlyy** · 06-19-2009, 05:39 AM

Guys,
Anyone have experience with how long it takes for your TEST levels to drop, for example if you were taking 400m/g (200m/g twice weekly) and you dropped back to 100m/g a week, how long would it take for your level to drop back to within range? Thanks.

just extrapolate the half-lives. you're looking at about 3 weeks after your 400mg shot to have 100mg in your system.

Could you explain?

I take test cyp 250mg every other week. One week later I will have 125 in my system.
Test cyp half life will be 1/2 one week later. Another week later and my levels will be approximately 62.5

Hope that helps.

yes, that's correct. the half-life of Test Cyp. is approximately 5-8 days so for easy math lets use 7 days.

so, if you only took a single shot of 400mg, 7 days later you will have 200mg in your system, 7 days after that you'll have 100mg in you system and so on until it's out of your system unless you add more.

each week that passes you lose 50%

Week 1 = 400mg
Week 2 = 200mg
Week 3 = 100mg
Week 4 = 50mg
Week 5 = 25mg
Week 6 = 12.5mg
...etc

thanks that exactly what i was looking for...is there anything that will speed this up??

ya, plan out your "blast and cruise" better

in all seriousness, i don't think there's a healthy way of lowering it faster. it's kind of like trying to get alcohol out of your system...just takes time.

yeah what i thought thanks for the info
