dosage. monthly or weekly?

[aNuBiS99]

I was just prescribed 300 mg of test enth per month. Doctor was going to administer it in a single monthly shot.. Would I be better off breaking it up into 4 weekly shots, or does it not really matter.

thanks

Yes it needs to be divided into weekly doses to have more stable levels.

Once weekly if using hCG. Otherwise twice weekly is best.

One a month is a poor protocol.

Hello,
I inject 60mg's every Tuesday morning and Friday night for a total of 120mg's (I wanted 100 but it's hard for me to get the tick mark.) I also inject 250iu's of hCG on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

I don't have to inject twice a week since I'm using hCG? I'm doing twice a week because I read that's best practice

Thanks

I believe Austinite was referring to a minimum required to be an effective TRT protocol.

Dont mean to be disrespectful but Im really surprised to see a question like this. You can do yourself a whole lot of good if you read all the stickies. I cant imagine anyone asking if a monthly shot is sufficient after reading all the info specifically Tes half life.
Your Dr is among a very large percentage that are practicing a field of medicine which he or she is not qualified to practice, I.M.O. this is not unuasal. With that protocol, Im guessing you will feel like superman for 10-15 days then like crap days 16-30.

Oh, thank you for clearing up my confusion.

I actually had a doctor tell me that 400mg's every 2 weeks (and another one tell me that 400 every 3 weeks) was better than weekly or 2X a week because it allows the testosterone levels to drop and prevents desensitization (sp?) of androgen receptors throughout the body. It also lets the HPTA activate for a short time so that it does not totally shut down

they are making it up, its not based on studies and facts.

Go with 75mg per week. Bet you'll be just fine.

Oh I already knew the answer, Ive been a member here since 2005 and read plenty of stickies. I am just looking for backup because I know as soon as I tell my fiance that I want to split it up into more frequent injections but smaller doses instead of taking only one shot a month, she is going to tell me that I am wrong and that the urologist knows best cause he is a doctor.

But ya definitely thank you for your reply

Twice weekly if you want my opinion :-p

Sounds like a doctor I know in Brooklyn, NY.

You say you have a fiancé, are planning children in the future. I am no expert but once you start on TRT its for life and reduces the chances of pregnancy for your future. A guess a few of the pro's can chime in here.

That's why we take HCG :-). Or one of the reasons I should say.
