Welcome. Oh, you will definitely see some amazing changes over time. Hold on to your seat. I've been on 200 mgs ew (divided into 100 mgs e4d) for over two years now & feel great. I also take .5 mgs Anastrozole 3 times M-W-F and HCG 250 IUs day before & day of IM Test injection. My Total Test levels come in between 1300-1500 & Free Test @ >40. Some on here will say that 200 mgs ew is too high a dose. It should depend more on how you feel; this is according to my Dr. anyway. Your levels will start to approach/surpass normal levels well before the 10 weeks is up. Has your Dr. discussed the use of an AI or HCG? At 200 mgs ew you will more than likely experience high Estrogen levels & need an AI, but everyone is different. He may want to see your next Blood Work before discussing an AI or HCG, but make sure he's aware of the need. Unfortunately, not all Docs are up-to-speed on proper TRT...

Is this your only Bloodwork?
I wouldn´t get on TRT because one bloodwork showed up low test.
You just lost 40lbs in 3 months. The manner u lost it could have affected your test production.
Are you Primary or Secondary?

On 200, does it effect your head at all - mood - energy etc? Very curious.

IMHO I feel normal again after struggling with weight gain, ED and general exhaustion. I have worked my ass off at the gym and eat clean. Currently 5'10" 192lbs. 32waist 46 chest and sport some pretty good guns. You will get out of it what you put in physically. on the mental side I have experienced a feeling of well being and a clear head.
Hope this helps but only one mans experience.

Well, compared to having a level of 200 it's night & day. Usually I'm in a great mood, lots of energy, confident & my strength only gets better. As was mentioned, you need to continually hit the gym to maximize benefits; both mental & physical. IMO a lot of people fail on this last part & dont get the total package that's available to them.

Post up all your BW if you have it. Would really have been good to have a complete set of baseline numbers to reference. Like API said it would be good to know your E2 level now and maybe 6 weeks in so you can add an AI if needed. 200 per week is a high end starting dose. Read GD's sticky on what to expect with TRT. Good read.

Agree with Flier, there's got to be more to this than one total serum score. If you have a problem with your pituitary or your testicles, don't you want to know this before just jumping on the high end of a TRT protocol? Isn't the doctor wondering what your LH & FSH values are, not to mention E2, free and Bio available test, etc., the list goes on. And being that you were at 240lbs as recently as D e***ber, you might be sitting on a E2 problem right out of the gate. You won't like what 200mg of cypionate is going to do if this is the case. Maybe there's more to this than originally posted, if so please let us in.

200 per week will do amazing things but what vette said^^^^ was the first thing in my general thoughts. How far along are you into this??? One shot, 2??? You may want to do some more testing before you jump all in?? High E2 is a bitch
