Doubled the dose

[grayhulk]

So my Doc had me doing 300mg of test once every 2 weeks. My two previous blood tests were 167 and 132. I did a blood test on the 13th day after my shot and just went to him today to get the results. My test was at 201. He sent me home and told me to try 300mg a week! This seems like a hell of a jump to me. If my test was at 200mg after 13 days, what do you suppose it was on day 2 or 3? It doesn't seem like it could have been too high. Maybe my body type needs 300mg a week? You guys ever hear of someone on TRT taking that high of a dose? I am going to take another blood test on the 7th day right before my next shot and see what I am at. Thanks for reading this post. I know it's a little scattered.

300 is high but ok. You really should try to get the dose split and done twice over the same period. I take my cyp on Monday and thursday instead of all on one day

[Vettester]

Could possibly consider some HCG and not have to go so high on the "T". Has your doc ever discussed HCG with you?

[pittbulldad]

i agree you should split that over that time frame. 300 every 2 weeks seems like you will roller coaster..

My Dr. now has me doing 300 a week. It was 300 every 2 weeks. He hasn't said a work about HCG .

Guess you just drop way low on day 13....good reason to do 150 a week

I was on 300 every 10 days and it was a tad too much for me. But if it works for you do it.

Basically you were doing 150 a week and you went from 132 to 201 so you really did not take off like a roman candle. Copy Durak and pittbull. I went to a Sun morning and Wed nite routine 50-50. Endo was impressed with the peak and trough tests. He called to tell me i must have misunderstood his instructions because there was little difference in the numbers.

Too much? What kind of sides were you getting?

In my brief time on TRT I've found that once a week gave me too big of a roller coaster and have since split my dose to twice a week (Tues. & Sat.). Once every two weeks would have been pointless. The more I learn about this stuff, the more I realize most health care providers -- even if well intentioned -- simply don't know shit about what they're doing or why they're doing it when it comes to HRT. With too many of them their methodology and treatment protocols are like tossing darts at the wall.

Attached are the difference between enthanate and cypionate and blood levels. Notice that bi-weekly injections will reduce the hugh drop off in test serum.

Biggest side for me was acne. Nasty cystic acne on my shoulders and back, all with an E2 of just barely above top normal. I cut to 200 every 10 days and a round of antibotics and its gone. I've always been acne prone even through my youth.

I'm just worried that I will be taking so much that it will adversely affect my health over the long term. I don't have any sides other than I can feel my muscles ballooning up and I feel much stronger in the gym. Everything else still feels like crap so I'm hoping that the 300 a week will make the difference. I'm gonna try the one a week shots and then get a blood test on the 7th day. If it is still low, I will go to 2 times a week.

pretty much bet they wont be low

As long as they are around 800 or so, I guess I will be happy. I may still go to 2 times a week for shots. That should only make things better.

Bi-weekly shots should help keep E2 lower, especially on 300mg a week.

[durak]

Are you going through a clinic and compound
phamacy? You should be feeling something from that test.

At that dose you are almost in the cycle range. Is it cyp or enth test?

Glad to hear that I am not the only one. Hope it works out for you man!
