Hi lexmuscle,
I am curious what you feel is good timing/dosing for HCG administration for both
-a once per week IM T injeciton
-a twice per week subQ T injections
It seems the standard with a 1/week T administration is to use 500iu of HCG the 2 days prior to the next weekly T injection. However I have seen some suggest 250iu every other day throughout treatment.
With a twice per weeks subQ administration of T do you think 500iu the day before the T injection would be best?
Thanks for your opinion
Never taken hcg and never needed an AI at Rx trt doses.
Me neither, however I always keep one on hand just in case I fall into a tub of lavender and soy. Never know.
From an anabolic standpoint, I may agree with this but from a sex drive standpoint, 200mg is superior to 125-140mg...at least to myself.
Damn, you are the only person I've heard having a higher libido with that amount of test. Do you find you need an AI?
Yeah but just to stabilize it then a low dose EOD schedule works fine. I'm getting ready to lower my T dose to 125-150mg/wk and doing 10- 20mg Trest Ace EOD. From there, I'll keep lowering my T dose until I start to lose my libido again. Hoping the Trest at a low dose will make libido really high and allow me to lower T dosage. Keep in mind, I ran AAS a few times at fairly high doses. Something likee 500-750mg/wk with Masteron. Sex drive was off the charts! I have found that 300+mg has less obvious sides. For instance, more sex drive, less estrogen issues, less acne etc. But it takes a toll on blood levels and isnt healthy in the longterm.
Normally, I would do 4-6 week ph cycles from time to time. I'm trying to find a viable replacement to give an extra kick in the pants while still retaining the normal functions of T. Plus, a low dose Trest will keep babies out of the picture for the next few years. I'm only gonna do a 40 day experiment and decide from there..FP: Good stuff
Curious: Why opt for Trest in lieu of Test?
I know they are very similar in activity so whats your logic behind opting for one that is "much less researched"
Thanks
Absolutely hilarious
The internet is scary. I'm quickly learning that these boards are filled with internet doctors giving advice based on the three people they know on trt. The worst part about it is that people take this advice seriously.
Was that a shot at me or someone else? I hope u werent talkin to me. I made a statement, not a recommendation or treatment advice.
You said a mouthful and you are not beyond that suspicion as well.
That is what I was thinking. That is a wide general blanket and offending to many of us that actually do know what we are talking about, run labs, and understand TRT.You said a mouthful and you are not beyond that suspicion as well.
^^^^^
Who ever stated doctors are above reproach? It certainly wasn't me.
You are correct. I might not even be a doctor. I might be a sociopath trying to give faulty advice because I like to hurt people. There's no way for you or anyone to know. That is exactly my point. Come to these boards to learn and interact. However, take everything with a grain of salt. Get your care face to face with a trained physician. This ain't checkers, this is chess!!
Good post and response. I do come across as negative towards doctors and clinics with regards to TRT based on my experience and I make that pretty clear in most of my responses. I don't do it all the time, but maybe I should. Due to dealing with multiple Endos and several doctors that just really did not seem to care or understand the need to take an individual and learn their symptoms and issues, I was forced to learn. I ended up finding a good doctor and endo, but it took a year of referrals and leg work to get there. When I hear about the experiences that others have that sound exactly the same, I speak up.
Was this a joke? I certainly hope so. However, after reading some of your posts I think you were being serious. If you're serious I am going to report you to the internet medical board to have your eMD revoked. Please tell me that was a joke.
Really? If you think that was serious, you are going to have a difficult time on this thing called the Internet.
That's the best advice you've given thus far. You are correct. This internet experiment will now end.
I'm doing the exact same thing my doctor did, as so many of us. Thing is, it isnt worth $37 bucks a visit/shot when the whole freakin bottle only costs $40. Docs and NP's are so overpaid here. I made a choice because money doesnt grow on trees and the healthcare industry doesnt play by the rules of economy. They like to upcharge way beyond the real value of product so they can maintain the six figures I guess.
