Testosterone replacement therapy and steroids

[Rndmher]

So I am currently on fortesta which is a testosterone gel (40mg of test a day). I am switching to injectable testostrone. I have a few bottles of the fortesta left and was thinking about added maybe tren, doing the injections, and then using the fortesta ALSO. Anyone have any experience with steroids while on TRT and what does my pct need to look like because I would still be on test injections after my cycle so now low t.

 

[briandward1]

Have you done AAS before?

 

[rascal14]

You won't need PCT.

 

[shanethomas]

Have to keep estrogen under control while on cycle

You want to do a cycle right when you start your TRT injections? I wouldn't do that. It takes time for the TRT to start working properly, and you'll have to figure out your optimal AI dose, which varies greatly amongst individuals. I would get labs done in 3 months and 6 months, and if everything looks good, then run a cycle.

-No PCT needed, you are on TRT
-DO NOT add in anything until you have your TRT injections dialed in. Injections are a different beast than gels and you will need to get it settled in, which can take upwards of 3-6 months.
-Once that is done, make sure you have labs so you know what you should expect as a TRT baseline on injections.
-Then go ahead and run your cycle

Ok all solid advice and no I have not done am aas cycle before I just got 200 DEPO test bi weekly

And how do I do that? Ai?

 

[shanethomas]

Yes arimidex works well

 

[mike33511]

An AI is an absolute necessity while on TRT. If you're about to start injections and your doctor hasn't prescribed you an AI, then you need to speak with him/her about it ASAP.

 

[kisaj]

Um, no. There is no truth to that whatsoever and many men are on TRT and have their protocols dialed in to not need an AI.

 

[Rndmher]

Yeah he never mentioned it, I assumed it wasn't necessary at the level I'm at unless I get estrogen type side effects. It's a urologist.

 

[kisaj]

A urologist typically won't be well versed in hormone therapy, but it stands that an AI is not always necessary. An endo will be a better route if available.

I agree with the Endo thing the guy had a six month wait I'm military (u.s.) and don't have a real say about my care. So how would I know if I need an AI? Like gyno or something, I've had slight gyno since I was a teen.

Also anyone know the benefit of taking HCG on trt? He didn't mention it but I've seen it mentioned in rooms several times.

Keeps the boys humming along.

Like keep your natural test production up?
Or make you infertal? Because I had a vasectemy, so I don't give a sh*t.

 

[justhere4comm]

No need for the HCG then.

 

[Rndmher]

No need for the HCG then.

Ahhh so just keep sperm count up.
Yeah two kids was way enough for me.

 

[mike33511]

Preferably, you would find out you needed an AI before you got gyno.

hCG also helps with testicular atrophy, in addition to fertility issues.

So what would I look for before gyno for high estrogen? Just in the blood test?

Yeah I got huge nuts I ain't worried.

Anyone?
