So ive been on TRT for 6 months now. After my first 3 month bloodtest of being on 100/wk my test was at 877 and everything else was in range. Did a blast of 500 test cup, stopping pinning exactly 2 weeks ago to get test down. Bloodwork is going to be mid April, they scheduled it for the 8th but im going to push it to the 15th if possible. Is it OK to start back at 50 every 3.5 days like I was doing or should I stay off injections longer? I have got so many mixed answers so im trying to get this figured out. No longer waking up with morning wood which I ALWAYS had. If I need to I can schedule a private lab If I need to before my doctor visit. Any and all opinions and advice would be very much appteciated. Thanks guys!

Stopping 2 weeks is when you plan on going on pct. Thats so the test has time to clear. Theres no point in doing pct and trying to jumpstart your natural test production if you still have exogenous test in ur system. If youre going to go back on trt you just lower your test doage to your trt level and your test levels will go back to your trt levels. Basically youve depleted your body of test and are relying on your natural system to produce test.

On 100mg of test cyp per week your test was at 877? Stopping for only 2 weeks half like of 500mg test cyp will still be down towards 200-250 In system.... seems like your a great responder to test and I think your blood levels will come out very high if they already came out high healthy range at 100mg per week.

Now I see you’re waiting a month for lab work.. yes I’d wait till the 8th and get it done you will be in high healthy range if that’s what you’re going for.. then star pinning again

I believe the test that was in your system will already be on the way out. I don't stop pinning, I just go with my half dose twice a week and go right back to normal.

I would donate blood, then get back on track with a normal protocol.
If you go in after cycle and don't take your shot that week all kinds of things could be out of whack...

Yes but it seems like he has timed the half life perfectly if last poke was 500mg going in there... because at 100mg with his test level in 800s he will be right around there.. adding more test at this point will put him above that number.. basically either way your risking it but you’re safer by going in lower than higher in my personal experience... I mean would you rather have them increase your dose or cut your dose lmao

Im not coming off trt I was just advised to not pin for 2 weeks tehn resume my normal 100WK protocol before going in. One person said dont do any until bloodwork but thatd be a crapshoot as someone noted below. Thanks for the advice!

I work right around the corner from a donation place my friend works at so I can probably get that done. I normally pin on Sundays and Wednesday evening. Since its only been 2 weeks off should I give it more time before continuing normal trt protocol. I have plenty of test on hand so I can push bloodwork at doctor back as far as I need to.

I wouldn't, but I also don't know how your body responds...
For me, the half life is shorter than "average".
You could always come back with "maybe I missed my last shot"

But I don't know how that goes, I use a trt clinic and they have no problem working around your extracurricular activities. Lol

But based on my understanding of how it clears, you might be best going in on a normal dose. Just my experience.

Yeah, that's true too.
My thought is being basically at the end of a cycle, with no pct, bloods could be all messed up.
That's where he could be. Or he could just come right back.
Craps shoot, I guess.

Yes I agree, but he is only running test (nothing that could mess it up like a nandrolone (deca, Tren) or something highly liver toxic like anadrol or dbol) If diet is good and he has estrogen under control with his arimidex or whichever AI, from my experiences (I’ve done this with 4 lab tests and 5 month cycles before each then went by half lives before) he is golden!

My previous labwork had everything except estrogen. Kinda the reason I want to do a private lab test. Maybe ill schedule one for this week if possible. The sensative estrogen panel I believe checks testostrone up to 1500, so that'd be good to know if my test levels were still above that or not. Thanks for your input, and eveyone else!

Starting to feel crappy. Just going off how I felt before and after being on trt I feel like I did before. Im really tired in the morning, ive got serious doms from my workout, and my face is real dry and flaking, red, itchy. Im going to restart my trt shots today and push the bloodwork to 2 weeks from today. My last shot was 2.5 weeks ago. Someone mentioned last poke was 500, but it was 250. I was doing 500 split into 2 doses every 3.5 days. If anyone has anymore input I would appreciate it. I will update this thread with labwork once its done in a couple weeks. I feel like itd be beneficial to more people looking to blast who are new to trt and trying to figure out how to time it. Gonna ask them when I reschedule if he plans on checking e2, If not im going too see if he can include that in labs.

First of all you should be doing, at minimum, weekly injections and a good starting dose is 100 mgs. 500 mgs of test a week is not TRT....that’s a cycle. Your E2 is probably sky high and that’s why you’re having all of the symptoms you’re having. Find another Dr because the one you have doesn’t know proper protocol for TRT.

Im aware, I did a blast after being on trt for many months then having checkup bloodwork. I was prescribed 100 a week as pointed put in my original post. Maybe you didnt read from the beginning, or I didnt make it clear enough. I stopped the blast 2.5 weeks ago with the last pin being 250mg, and just today did 50mg, and will pin again Sunday evening at 50mg. The doctors office called today and has to push my appointment back further into mid April anyways so gives my blood levels more time to stabilize now.
