    TRT after 12 week cycle

    A few questions.

    Just finished 12 week cycle of 500mg Test-E. Prior to that i was put on Testogel as my TRT and am wondering how long after last pin would i begin applying the gel (or im considering moving over to my own self-prescribed Test E injections a my endo wont move me to injections) so how long after would i start TRT dose and would 125mg Test E injection split twice per week suffice?

    Secondly, is it possible to begin a cut while transitioning from cycle to TRT? would the exogenous testosterone help to mitigate any negatives from cutting during a PCT?

    Also, as i said, endo wont yet prescribe injections, but i am seeing her late February, should i just not take anything and she will see my T is shit on the gels then and possibly change?


    Really hoping you guys can help me out.

    id stick with gels until you develop a strongth enough relationship with your endo , in time she should consider your request for injections.

    if you commence your trt gels upto 1 week from your last pin you should be fine. Your levels will drop until it reaches its plateau in any case, so really doesnt mtter when you go back on trt dose.

    if you muck around with your trt and she catches on you will lose her trust , dont mess with your dr and test their intelligence too soon into your treatment.

    Yes you can cut while on trt, the transition from your cycle to trt is litterally less than a week.

    Because of my hypogonadism. Is that not usually why men are on TRT?

    A bit of an over-simplification. DJ's question is quite legitimate. He was simply asking what was the cause of your low T? Many things can cause it, from pathologies to AAS usage. Also many doctors who don't understand hormones initiate TRT without searching for and correcting the actual issue.

    If that's what he meant, he should've asked it like that. I responded in the same way the question was asked; abruptly.

    Well, cause is a pituitary microadenoma. Levels have always been borderline low but every Dr was still reluctant to treat. Finally one decided to trial me on gel, It's not convenient for me, and I would rather injections.
