New to TRT (United Kingdom)

[BigGuns89]

I like to allow at least 8 weeks prior to labs and pull my own labs 4 weeks prior to the Dr. ordered labs.

If you're going to run long blasts, I would pull labs mid- blast to see where you're at.

Interesting...

I may have fuc*ed up!

Prescribed 0.5ml sust 250 with a view to increase between 0.5 to 0.8ml after first bloods on 28/10/2021.

I've been taking 1ml (and loving life) but my plan was to reduce to 0.5ml from my next shot tomorrow.

1ml taken on 03/10/2021, drop to 0.5ml on 08/10/2021, 0.5ml 13/10/2021, 0.5ml 18/10/2021, 0.5ml 23/10/2021, blood test before next test shot 28/10/2021.

I thought 21 ish days would be enough for bloods to get down to 0.5ml levels...???

You may be fine, but I always like to allow plenty of time. Especially if I need to allow times for not just T levels, but other panels to drop to normal range. All depends on how much over your prescribed dosage you were injecting and for how long you ran the higher dosage.

That makes sense. I'm only slightly over prescribed level so hopefully all will be well for my first bloods. Then its 6 months bloods and then every 12 so wil get easier.

I am hoping to get a slight increase on the prescription rather than stay the same or drop the dose. I think they base this on free testosterone. I might just skip my shot altogether on 18/10/2021 to be safe, although that might make it worse. I hate playing a guessing game LOL!

Anyway thanks for all your help and advice.

You can always play the "dur, did I do it wrong" card. Like, oh damn was I injecting too much? OMG, am I gonna die?!?! The doc should get a good chuckle and assume you are just new and screwed up by accident.

Trust me, reddit is full and man, I cannot stress "full" enough, of people who report doing worse than a simple over injection. The doc has likely seen it all.

haha I did come clean with my case manager and she was fine about it. Bloods came back all good as i dropped a good 4 + weeks before hand. I'm allowed 0.8 so taking the full ML probably won't be a big issue now I imagine. Hope you're well, Cylon.
