avg hrt test dose per week and arimidex dose per week?

[bladehines]

i am currently working with an endocrinologist. i am taking 400mg every sun current test levels are at 1100 (she wants it to be around 1200) on fri when blood is drawn. suppose to start 1mg of arimidex per week for a month then 1 every other week for a month then 1 a month after that.

does this sound right? so far i feel pretty good but moody since i havent been taking arimidex for the last 3 months on cycle.

thanks to everyone

that's alot of T to only get you to 1100! but, everyone is different. i was taking 200mg/week and that put me at 2400.

that adex schedule doesn't sound right. doc's usually prescribe a dose like .25mg-.5mg EOD and adjust depending on blood results and symptoms.

do you know what your E2 was on your last blood draw?

here's a quick and dirty formula for adex dosing:

lets say your E2 is 45 and your current adex dose is .25mg EOD, your new dose to get down to 20 is (45/20 X .25mg = .56mg EOD)

double post sorry

[bladehines]

thanks! did they lower your dose to get you lower then 1200?

i am not on arimidex yet will strt this next week. thinking t level will go up. i will see about getting my labs ad see what my estro was

thanks again!

oh yeah question i am 27 if you were in my spot would you cycle on and off 3 months on 6 weeks off to keep fertility good? i want to have kids some time in the next 3-5 years doc said i would only cone off when i wanted kids...... i didnt like that answer much knowing i could be infertil after 2 straight years of test shots.

yes, my doc and i agreed on 140mg/week so now i split my shots (70mg 2x/week) and that puts my at 1250. 200mg/week is just too much "for me" over long term.

TRT isn't meant to be cycled. doing that will just mess your hormones up even more.

Thats a crazy amount of testosterone for HRT, in fact thats a cycle not HRT 400mgs per wk. It will also send your levels sky high and well over 1100, in my experience HRT is normally given at around 100mgs-200mgs per wk depending on your endo and levels.

[Tjohn6231]

Im 33, and my natural level was around 320 when I started HRT. I only get 125 mg/week. I blast around 600mg/week for 12-14 weeks (which Im doing now), but I will be going back to my HRT dose after that. Im even thinking of coming off test completely for a little while. I have 2 kids already, and my wife had her tubes tied, so Im not planning anymore kids, but I still dont want to be on test 12 months a year.
I havent made up my mind yet, but I feel that its good to let your body recover sometimes.

[Vettester]

Agree completely with Marcus. I don't quite get the doc wanting you at 1200 either, when you're at 1100 already. 1100 is really high as it is when looking at it from a HRT perspective. The Endo I deal with was taken back with me at 895. Usually, it seems that the female doctors are ultra conservative when it comes to TRT. You've apparently got one that is on the other end of the spectrum.

As Dave mentioned, the Arimidex schedule doesn't look right either. Usually, it's an EOD program with that stuff. I'm surprised a doc would give you that much for 3 months and not cover the AI end of it with you.

HCG is an option for your fertility concerns. Have you spoke with the doc about something like this?

Good luck!

[bladehines]

thanks guys.
starting off my t levels was 434, 200mg a week took it down to 297 by fri when blood was drawn. hence why she took me up to 400mg a week. i am thinking of finding a different doc due to this one not being on the ball when it comes to everything. but for now i guess i will try and do the doses of test and dex for the next 4 weeks and come offfor 6 weeks and take clomid after the first 2 weeks and then start back 400mg and dex straight of the bat so i am not up and down all the time....
also would my levels go up, down or stay the same if i took 200mg sun morn then 200mg thurs evening so the dose is more even though the week? i will talk to her next week and see if she agrees with me coming off for a while.

thanks again

That isnt a hrt dose, your doing a cycle 400mgs per wk is a cycle not replacement for your natural testosterone

[TheBig2na]

I'm looking for an HRT doc near McAllen, Texas. If not available could you please refer me to a good source. I want to do things the right way but my source has gone belly up. When I went to my General Practitioner all I got was, at first to workout more, then I got prescribed Prozac. I don't know what else to do, the wife is pissed, my libido is way down and I've been looking into ordering from a site called dianibol.com, even though all posts seem to be negative.

Please help........., just always had my own source, until now.

I do 400 mgs a week and it brings me up to 600 to 750.So the blanket statement as I have said before is a cycle is not right.Everyone is different and there body metabolizes test differently.At 400 mgs a week 52 weeks a year is not a cycle for me.

how many times have you tested blood after pinning 400mg of test and what day after pinning do you draw blood

[bladehines]

ok i get it i am on a cycle not trt or hrt but i am doing as the doc says and my t levels are in normal range for her.

next question.... is there another drug i can take to get the same or similar results as arimidex, like nolvadex, etc...... that cost less mainly. insurance wont pay for arimidex and it around 11 dollars a pill around where i live.

You might look at some LiquiDex at AR-R (Red banner at top). Lion will give you an extra 5% off of the published price.

aromasin

aromasin

about the same price.... thanks though.

In theory - 400 mg week of testosterone would for most people sky rocket testosterone levels in serum to very high values, but pharmacogenetics plays a role here. Some people will have much faster metabolism of some molecules, so it is in fact possible for the op to need large doses of test for being able to respond to the treatment.

When it comes down to it I do have big problems believing you, first off it is an incredibly small chance that you have such a fast metabolism, second I doubt any doctor would risk you going over the reference range in any case, but then again - why would you lie?..

no reason to lie your right. but her range was 300-1200. you can check online for my SN bladehines. i have a couple of threads here and on S10 forum. i also have a bodyspace profile with picsfrom last year. my metabolisim is VERY high. and weird thing turns out i have and under active thyroid condition and i am now on armor thyroid i take 2 grains a day. thyroid level was 5.01 she has me under 3.0 i think which would have doubled my metabolisim. you can believe me or not. anything you want me to post to prove i am telling the truth i will.....

[bladehines]

got scrip for arimidex today took my first dose. next dose sunday after my shot. we will see how eveything goes

[ZonaDave]

are you on TRT or running a cycle through your endo?

[bladehines]

trt as my doc sees it but i dont think she knows what she is doing with injectables. she works with pellet implants which i opted not to do. but as i see it there is no way i can stay on and keep fertility without hcg 2 times a week. but i am going to make an app. and talk to her

I hate to get personal but how do you ejaculate and not orgasim?

[zaggahamma]

I hate to get personal but how do you ejaculate and not orgasim?

that post was confusing to me as well

blade wanna clear up your one post where you talked about organisms and ejectulating

[bladehines]

there is a difference. say when you jackoff you dont orgasim when you have sex you do.

its a different feeling when i ejaculate i dont feel tingly from head to toe etc...... the one time i orgasimed i felt like that i could barely move when it happened. a buddy of mine feels that way everytime he has sex, but not when he jacksoff. i never thought there was a difference either untill i dd it that one time.

[bladehines]

gotta different question since you guys are answering pretty muck all mine.... what is a good way to keep acne at bay? pretty bad on shoulders and center chest and i am getting more ingron hairs then normal..... weird question i know but it bugs me.

[Vettester]

My wife has been putting rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab and applies it my breakout areas. It actually seems to work.

i've heard alot of guys say high E2 makes their skin oily which might be part of the problem.

could be called fri to get them to call me back with the e2 and they have yet to call me back....

[bladehines]

well talk to the head nurse she said it is a good idea for me to come off ifi am concerned about fertility but didnt know a damn thing about coming off. at first she said to come off clean without taking anything but arimidex, i mentioned clomid like the doc had sais before but she didnt have a clue.... so she has to call me back again.....

if shes the head nurse you'd be better off seeing her in person

will probably have to. how long should i go off? some say as long as i was on which would be 18 weeks total or 10 weeks if you just count the 400mg weeks since i was running on my own test at the end of each week when i was on the 200mg test.....? i dunno gonna try and see how i feel unless someone tells me different

dont know bro..i've never considered going off

[bladehines]

talked to some buddies they say to wait till i start feeling bad ( 1 week past last shot or longer) then start clomid for 2 weeks straight then off everything for 4 weeks+ . or till you feel normalized.

[bladehines]

talked to the doc i am to start taking clomid 200mg a day! that doesnt sound right from what i have been reading. also she said it would take 3-4 months to get me back to a norm....... i guess we will see

[chuckt12345]

id talk to a new doc,, your levels started at 400ng normally and then dropped after 200mg/wk of cyp? No endo in there right mind should be prescribing 400mg/wk for TRT/HRT,, and then tellin you to come off like that.
btw 200mg a day of clomid plus coming of that test for that long is gonna make you feel like total shite,, just a heads up
