When does natural testosterone production completely stop?

[wenis piggler]

When does endogenous (natural) testosterone production stop after testosterone replacement therapy starts? TRT= 100mg of test cyp/week.

Thanks

pretty quickly. i think it says in the profile, but it gets suppressed and the amount lowers then maybe a month at that dose til it stops? not long

I Dont think it completely stops, but I could be wrong,,, if I remember correctly its severly reduced but still produces a nominal amt..

As far as i know , any hormone you put into your body will tell your glands to stop producing , so shutdown is shutdown , you cant be MORE shutdown when its actually happening . So 100 mg IMHO will shut you down after about 2-4 weeks, by the way if you increase the dose you wont be MORE shutdown as i said , because you already are.

Hope this helps.

I've been on low dose with no shrinkage and high doses with much shrinkage so I'd have to think there is a variance if physical size has anything to do with it. Also doctors like to take blood work and make adjustments on hrt.

If it is severly reduced then how does it produce a normal ammount?

He wrote nominal amount not normal amount. I think he means a small amount by the word nominal. Just a guess

thanks for pointing that out, point taken

yep, nominal = very small amt, small enough to be of no use ;-)
