i'm 58 in pretty good cond., been lifting for 45 yrs, 20 yrs ago did a few cycles of roids ., my test. has fallen down to 275, have all the symptom of low T. i want to go with 100 ml of test 50 twice a week , 250 hcg twice a week, and some amridex eod when needed,, i want do things the right way,.... i have a doc that will hook me up,... with all the proper gear, my question is do you think it could cause gyno. at my age , if i keep all my blood work in line , i had gyno when i was in my teens and don't want go there again,...also what about hair loss from the xtra T. or any other negative symptoms. thanks

100 ml/week is a very low dose, you won't see many sides, like gyno or hair lost. Arimidex will do the work to keep estrogen levels down. At your age, I believe you need higher dose, like 200mg/week or more, you can start at 100mg/week and rise up.

I'm 52, had gyno at puberty, started HRT with 100 ml of Test Cyp 50 mg twice a week, no hCG , no AI. Got gyno symptoms after about 2 weeks. My baseline E2 was 4, it bounced up to 28 on my script.

So yes, you should have an AI handy and keep the E2 below 30. Some people like me are super sensative and have to keep E2 below 25.

thanks for all the info , i have another question, i guess if i start this trt, its for life, or could i go off if it doesn't work out, .....and what about this pre-mixed hcg , sent in a cold pack, vrs the hcg that you have to mix yourself, is it just as good? thanks

good question, there is a point of no return, but that depends on the individual, i been on TRT for about 4.5 months and due to some issues i am thinking of discontinuing, not sure if i can get back to where i was when i started, but we'll see. if i don't recover then i may just do a light TRT like 100 mgs per week and forget my goals in terms of muscle and body fat!

sorry to hear that, keep us posted what you going to do it, I need to come out some time by the end off the year, my wife wants a baby, she want's me out off trt for that.

i'v been trying for a year to get a doc or clinic in the northeast to give me all the gear that i need , does anyone know of a good trt doc in this area

[38jumper38]

you don't need a doc in your area, you can have one at any state. I have one far way from my place, haven't see him at all, and I deal all by e-mail and phone. I'm very happy with him.
