That will help alsoLast Donation was Feb 10th, next one will be in June
That is what they started me on and my script is still for, but I find I feel better at 100mg weekly, if you can donate blood I would do that about every 90 days.Rocket3015 Dr started me on Test Cyp 200mg EOW for now. With blood work in between each dose.
Ok, will do. It's kind if nice just showing up to the office and having it done real quick for you. I just hope I start to feel better soon.That is what they started me on and my script is still for, but I find I feel better at 100mg weekly, if you can donate blood I would do that about every 90 days.

200 mgs EOW is old outdated protocol that’s been proven to do more harm than good. You’re levels go up and down too much instead of stay steady. The half life of test is only around 6 days tops. Cut your dose in half and pin 100 mgs per week.Rocket3015 Dr started me on Test Cyp 200mg EOW for now. With blood work in between each dose.
have you had blood issues on previous tests?Last Donation was Feb 10th, next one will be in June
I agree with this 100%...but I also suggest to not even bring it up-just do it on the DL.200 mgs EOW is old outdated protocol that’s been proven to do more harm than good.

287, first blood test after 8 weeks of trt I was at 1083DC, do you remember what your test level was before you started TRT?
My first blood test after starting TRT I had a Hemocrit of 53, I believe. Doc told me I should probably donate, and I told him a buddy of mine told me about Grapefruit Seed Extract, and he kinda got excited and said "Yes, Do It. 1200mg a day". So thats what I'm doing now, and gonna check my blood soon again and see where I'm at now.have you had blood issues on previous tests?
I didn't get high blood count until 7-8th year on trt. look forward to see if gfx helps.My first blood test after starting TRT I had a Hemocrit of 53, I believe.

Though I can probably say my Hemocrit was bad from previous cycles before TRT. And not doing bloodwork or donating previously.
I believe it was the previous cycles.I didn't get high blood count until 7-8th year on trt. look forward to see if gfx helps.
Pre-TRT was odd for me. I had all the classic symptoms of course but I was always “in the mood” but would have times where me and my girl would go for hours and I couldn’t get off. Found out later not just my test was bottomed out but my estrogen was too which explained that.No worries...the more I think of it I've probably been suffering from Low T for a while....when I look back I've had the symptoms for a while.
It's a shame the doctors dont test for this along with the other routine bloodwork.
Well, my doc set it up for every two weeks, and I have to go to the pharmacy for the injection. I'm not sure how I would be able to go once a week on the DL without asking for a weekly injection..I agree with this 100%...but I also suggest to not even bring it up-just do it on the DL.
Yeah, good call. Would definitely make it easier...After a few visits ask if for convenience you can pin yourself at home.
about 4 weeks I thinkLooking forward to it...I know it was a long time ago for you, but do you remember about how many weeks it took to feel a difference.
I've only had 1, 200mg Test Cyp Injection so far...still not feeling great
This is what I didAfter a few visits ask if for convenience you can pin yourself at home.
Thanks, Rocket. Excited for the future.about 4 weeks I think
This is what I did
You need to find another dr ASAP or ask him to allow you to inject weekly and allow you to self inject.Well, my doc set it up for every two weeks, and I have to go to the pharmacy for the injection. I'm not sure how I would be able to go once a week on the DL without asking for a weekly injection..
tell the doctor wife is nurse.Just tell him you are always pressed for time and you need to do it at home, should be no problem. You Dr will either show you how to do it or have a Nurse instruct you.
Yeah, he has been pretty receptive so far to what I've told him so this shouldn't be a problem.Just tell him you are always pressed for time and you need to do it at home, should be no problem. You Dr will either show you how to do it or have a Nurse instruct you.
Should be no problem to inject at home. They may ask you for bloodwork more.oftenYeah, he has been pretty receptive so far to what I've told him so this shouldn't be a problem.
He started me off with bloodwork once a week. I'm sure just to see what my levels do initiallyShould be no problem to inject at home. They may ask you for bloodwork more.often
I now do Blood Work twice a yearHe started me off with bloodwork once a week. I'm sure just to see what my levels do initially
When’s your next labs to see if the GSE works?I been on 200mg p/week split dose for 20 weeks and feel great. I donate double reds whenever I can and take 1200mg Grapefruit Seed Extract to help naturally with Hemocrit

100mg puts most ppl in the high normal range. Did your doc say anything about why your so low on these doses. Your responding to 200mg like a 50mg doseUpdated bloodwork one week after 200mg Test Cypionate: 450 ng/dl... up from 100 ng/dl
Starting to feel better as well. More energy, and a clearer head it seems. It may be a little early to notice body comp changes, but swear I look leaner.
my test level was very low when I was put on trt...doc had nurse give me a 400mg shot in the butt there in the office and a script for 400mg every 2 weeks, of course I did 200mg weekly...I felt pretty good right away, but it took at least a month to really see benefits...give it time!!!Kind of frustrating...I wish I was already up in the high range. I'm still feeling pretty crappy
Do you still use that much?my test level was very low when I was put on trt...doc had nurse give me a 400mg shot in the butt there in the office and a script for 400mg every 2 weeks, of course I did 200mg weekly...I felt pretty good right away, but it took at least a month to really see benefits...give it time!!!
no, that was my dose for about 8 years, then I got polycythemia [too much blood] and they took me off for awhile then when blood dropped to normal asked if I wanted back on at half dose...I've been at 200mg every 2 weeks[I actually use 100mg weekly]for over 2 years now.Do you still use that much?
Thanks for the encouragement man. I have an injection on Monday...I cant wait.my test level was very low when I was put on trt...doc had nurse give me a 400mg shot in the butt there in the office and a script for 400mg every 2 weeks, of course I did 200mg weekly...I felt pretty good right away, but it took at least a month to really see benefits...give it time!!!
No, I use an online company and have a box of 100 shipped to the house. Same price for years.no, that was my dose for about 8 years, then I got polycythemia [too much blood] and they took me off for awhile then when blood dropped to normal asked if I wanted back on at half dose...I've been at 200mg every 2 weeks[I actually use 100mg weekly]for over 2 years now.
my best advice is if they tell you x amount every 2 weeks just say ok, and go to cvs and buy some extra needles...
btw-anyone else notice that they raised the cost of needles[syringes]?
What is your testosterone level at that dose?Currently on for 5 years. No problems as i do blood work every 6 mos. 200 mg cyp every 14 days
Just did labs on Monday. Will see where it is at probably sometime this week.When’s your next labs to see if the GSE works?
Are you happy with your levels being in the 300s?I did go to every 10 days w/ few PEs and was just short of 1000. Shut that extra stuff down and remain in 300s
