TRT

[dirtwarrior]

I got lab results and test levels are mid 300s. To do self medicated TRT and get test levels around 900 and maintain that level what type of test, how often, and hoe much?
Same question with any axxy needed?
Same question with HCG?

6/10cc to 8/10cc . why would you need arimadex if you are within normal range? you can use HCG but it spikes estrogen levels in some guys.

It's different for everyone. I would start with 100mg of test cyp a week (2 injections @ 50mg) and retest levels after 5 or 6 weeks then adjust accordingly.

If you are 55 I am sure a Dr. would not mind prescribing it to you. Any reason you want to do it yourself?

Most docs won't get you over 700... my endo said that's where prostate problems begin.... I tweak my results by slacking off trt prior to labs.... and I get my adex and hcg elsewhere

A bottle of testosterone cypionate costs $100 full price at the pharmacy,,, even at 200mg a week, which is almost double the normal trt dosage, it'll last you 10 weeks

You can get your own labs done for close to $50 at privatemdlabs.com

my level has come in as high as 2200 day after injection, and my doctor hasn't changed it. Set to 150mg/wk

Sams club/Walmart sells 10ml vials for around $70. At normal TRT dosing, thats around 3 months worth, or $25ish a month.

Lol,, I did say most and not all.... you're supposed to get checked day before, not after your injection .... the idea is to have your lowest point within a normal range ....

my low morning of day of injection is around 850-900, which he doesn't mind so long as PSA stays stable.

You're lucky,,, my Endocrinologist is really good, but a bit conservative,,, I lucked out though,, the pharmacy gives me a full 10ml bottle of test cyp a month, even though I'm only prescribed 125mg a week....all I do is not dose for a week and a half before labs to keep my levels in range of her expectations then I can cruise at 300mg a week and blast at 600......

I have to have a talk with my doc. my doc signed off on my physical and gave the OK for my TRT through a anti aging clinic last year. I have to see if he will just prescribe me what I need. He knows I have been low for years now. I rather go spend 70$ dollars at walmart then to pay this damn clinic again.

[grngoloco]

Plus I only pay $10 a bottle...

[fanzdslpwr1]

your insurance covers it?

[grngoloco]

Yep...... was on androgel for over a year,,, paid $30 for over $1000 worth every month....... I'm sure they're a lot happier with my switch to test cyp lol..... I have really good insurance though,,, don't even need referrals to see specialists

[fanzdslpwr1]

I need to find out if my insurance covers it. I don't want to go back to the gel. I hated the gel.

[fanzdslpwr1]

what brand does walmart prescribe?

[EasyEJL]

mine (united) covers testim or injectible cyp, but not androgel.
