    DR put my on 300mgs of CYP every 2 weeks for low test levels.... question

    My last two test levels over the past 4 months have been 238 and 283, I have no desire to bang my girlfriend anymore and my whole life my levels have been between 450-490, and I got blood work every 6 months for the last 10 years. Im 38 now and in great shape but my levels have finally dropped I guess due to age. So I saw this Dr and he said tre the andro gel or shots and I choose text CYP shots 300mgs every 14 days. Im getting my levels done again in 10days but will every 2 weeks be ok, every thing i read says every 10 days max, but I dont think he will do shorter that 2 weeks. This Dr originally told me 400 mgs once a month and I was like no way, even I know my levels will drop off sharply after 2 weeks. at 300mgs e 2 wks do I have to worry about estrogen sides? thanks!! stats 185 pds , 11 percent BF 38years old 5'11

    Is your doctor going to allow you to inject yourself, or are these done at his office where he is in complete control? If you are doing the injecting, just inject 150mg. every week to help even your levels out. As to estrogen sides, that depends on the person. Is your doctor measuring that? My current (but not future) doctor doesn't bother measuring estrogen because he isn't willing to treat it. Wonderful huh? Shop for another doctor if yours is anything like mine.

    Note....the med school protocol for TRT that most doctors seem to know and recite is far from optimal for guys...but that is what they were taught and is what they fall back on...most of them.

    agree with above about if u can do at home to split it up but you prolly already knew that so assuming that your not..

    and to answer the 2 questions...

    300 every 14 days is a nice amount and should get your levels up and beyond what you were enjoying before you lost your mojo....prolly at the top of the range...while every 2 week injections isnt ideal, it certainly is better than walking around with levels in the 200's...eventually you can convince to inject at home and you can pin more frequent....

    e2(estadiol).... at 300mg shots definately could cause you to aromatize and you SHOULD monitor and have/be looking into an AI...

    also be reading up on hcg to add in to your trt protocol at some point...

    man i think these doctors need to sign up here so the can get educated! 400 a month! what the hell did he base that on? so he wants you to feel great for one week and crash for three weeks?! i agree with all the responses, try to do it once a week!

    Bro, my first 2 shots were 200mgs every 2 weeks and I'd start coming unwound around day 9 or 10(with still 4 to 5 days left before next injection). When I conviced the clinic to go to 100mgs every week, good things started to happen. Damn, 400mgs a month!!?....Geez.
