Total Test after 3 weeks of 150mg Test Cyp

**TennTarheel** · 11-30-2012, 04:23 PM

So, at baseline I had a TT of 245 at 8am, and 7days after my 3rd injection my TT was 1385 at 3pm. I thought that was a pretty significant jump since this was my trough level. With that being said, what do you guys think my peak is after injection? Just curious on thoughts...

Also started taking 50mg DHEA, and 10,000 Vit D.

what is your free test level? i say good for you, now you can reduce your dose to a healthy level and save money! i take 10,000 iu vit. D ed and it put me at about 85-90 on a scale of 30-100. have you tested your vit. D? DHEA, i was taking two 50 mgs capsules ed and my level was way above normal so I cut back to one, i think you'll be good with 50 mgs ed. how do you feel?

"So, at baseline I had a TT of 245 at 8am, and 7days after my 3rd injection my TT was 1385 at 3pm"

What is your protocol?

Without question you are peaking or on your way to peaking...but certainly supraphysiological for sure!

Am I reading this right; 3 injections in one week? Are you going SQ?

Need to know about...

Oh no. Just 150 mg/week of Cyp. IM. On the fourth week, before inject, got that BW bc I was looking into an Endo and he ran it. I was just surprised to see 150/week put me that high that fast. So that's meaning the lowest I'm getting is 1385

Keep in mind that it was only week 4. Crisler recommends BW be drawn no earlier than week 6 for injections.

Could be possible you haven't completely shut down natty production just yet but I certainly hope this is not the case for your wallets sake.

For me personally I was around 900 at week 6 on 150mgs. Then the next round of blood work I was almost 100 points below my baseline at 9 days after injection. For me 200mgs per week keeps my trough levels in the upper quartile but everyone is different.

TennTarheel,

I'm guesstamating a peak level of 2000, maybe 2100.

Must be nice.

At this point he's HPTA suppressed for sure but 4 weeks is still soon...6 to 8 is better to get serum levels steady.

You will need to reduce your dosage, you can't sustain those levels for too long as there can be some bad side effects you won't want like loss of libido and ED among other things.

Yeah I'm still in the whole getting settled process with doctors and all. I think splitting my dose to 75mg every 3.5 days may help level it out a bit. I think I'm gonna try that and see how my levels look. I guess my receptors just love the Test :-)

Splitting up the same total amount will only make your trough higher...

It's clear you need to lower the dose. Nobody would advise one to run TRT at supraphysiologic levels for a variety of reasons.

Splitting the dose up would lower your peak, however.

That reading blew your doors off I'm sure.

I went over 1800 after 5 weeks of 300 mg and was able to lower to 120 mg per week. Still need BW to see where I am at on new protocol and hope I can lower it too.

Good news Tenn looks like you'll be able to work with a much lower dose.

Did you ever look into pregnenlone? Doc suggested 100 mg a day for me and I am on second week with it. It was a good energy booster for me.
