    Exactly what I was thinking. My understanding my test was extremely low. He has it prescribed for one cycle. He said then we will go through labs but not only labs but how I was feeling to adjust a dose. I went in yesterday for first shot and to be shown how to do it myself. And the assistant there explained my dose is pretty common maybe a .5ml larger than normal starting dose. This is a very reputable doctor working along side my Endo Specialist that yes I trust with my life..... He's already saved it once I'm sure he doesn't want to do it again.

    I wouldn't trust a doctor that is prescribing you 400mg a week. And prescribed for one cycle? If you're taking testosterone for the treatment of low-t, you don't cycle it. When you take testosterone, your body stops making it's own and so you have to keep taking shots indefinitely.

    I trust my doctors over forum readers..... Now that said the have the labs they have prescribed me 2ml per week. Which a average dose for TRT is 1.5ml per week. Not that much larger than an average TRT dose......... I will leave the dosing to my doctors. They have my labs and they know my body.... They are not new doctors to me.

    My doctor did not call this a cycle. He said we are starting you with this. We will do labs in 2 months to see where we are and adjust accordingly. Seeing how forums doesn't give context of my speech and I have to remain strictly literal and not make examples.

    I came here asking for info of what I can expect in the days to come from my body. What foods to eat and what routines will get me the most out of my 2ml a week injections. Not the capability of my doctor or anyone's opinion on dosing of my testosterone. I have recieved several responses NOT A SINGLE THING INDICATING WHAT I ASK. Only about my doctor or my dose level...... 2ML injections and I trust my doctors to do what needs to be done. With that said if you can help me along the way feel free to comment on my post..... If not and the only thing you wish to do is offer your unprofessional medical opinion just move on.... Don't be conceited to think you need to express your opinion to ever members post

    2 months is a hell of a long time for him to leave you on the high dose. If he really does this, then you might be able to squeeze out some gains. Check the nutrition and training forums and get to work.

    In the long term what can you expect? You can expect to feel like a normal person with normal testosterone. I suspect your doctor will scale you back after your 2 month blood work when he sees your values are off the charts.

    Also, expect to wait a few weeks before seeing any real changes in how you feel.
