Time for a new doctor.
What was the focus again?
Nudes of the MIL!What was the focus again?
Man, I wish his MIL was 60-ish and hot.
It's not abnormal for some people to have labs in range on higher amounts of test. Matrix had a big thread about hyper-excretors in the male anti-aging forum. It's definitely not uncommon, and been discussed on this board quite a bit (but over in the anti-aging forum).
Invalid Link RemovedLOL that's a good one. I love a good laugh in the morning.
The fact that your doctor put you on 300 right off the bat is really sketchy. Either he knew something you are not telling us, or, ... idk. If you are not able to comprehend what I am telling you here, then god help you.
Sounds like the clinic is selling you under dosed gear. 900 on 300mg![]()
This is very weird. Has nobody though of this: how can you have e2 at 150 and FT at 250 when your TT is 900??? I am not an endo, but this e2 and FT numbers are to high for "in range" TT levels. Is somebody messing with the TT results maybe?
Anyway, OP, your demeanor is awful. You sound like a 18yo. Get your act together. This is not bb.com.
Also, 99% off people will be way above range with 300 test. The fact that your doctor put you on 300 right off the bat is really sketchy. Either he knew something you are not telling us, or, ... idk. If you are not able to comprehend what I am telling you here, then god help you.
FYI, my TT levels at 250mg test are 3x above my labs range. That's 3300 in your units.
Just bc your brain isn't aware of this information doesn't mean you should spread your ignorance to others.
So thanks for your advice but im gonna pass, if you don't like my demeanor well i don't really care.
And who the hell cares what % of people would be above average with 300mg, my doc diagnoses each person differently. And somebody already showed up and mentioned my situation isn't rare, it's just rare for people in this forum subsection to know of it. I think i just bumped into a group of people are know far less than they think they know and are trying to convince me im wrong when im not.
900 at the trough, 7 days after pinning. Looks about right to me. His peak will obviously be much higher than 900.
You do have a point there. Cyp has an 8 day terminal half life, allegedly, so this means his TT number would be app 1800, 12h after pining (Tmax is 12h for enth and cyp). Supposedly he metabolises it a bit faster, making his terminal half life 5 days. This would put him at app 2200 on the day off the pin. Either way, it's high indeed yes but not as high as I myself would be, or most others, for instance, with 300mg's. But it actually falls in line with his high e2 numbers. He is a very high arometiser obviously if he had e2 at 150 pg/ml. I mean, who even uses an Ai here at 250 - 300 test? Couple this fact with the fact that the test was done 7 days after pin, it all makes sense.
But still, what doc did is weird, and obviously wrong as he is above range with his TT and FT. We all know this and who cares if the OP doesn't get it? Anybody with two grains of salt that is reading this will understand what's what...
Ok, done.
Can we all press the ignore button on the OP now?

This is why I couldn’t keep up with you I’m usually pretty kind but the way you answer to people ignoring everything they have said makes me want to bang my head on a wall. Every single time someone posts something really meaningful you completly ignore it and send out paragraphs about everything except what the person said.Have you read anything jinsun said? It made all the sense in the world. Your reply is 3 paragraphs long but doesn’t relate even a little to what he pointed out...Psychology of forum posters is an interesting topic. I like to dissect the individuals who try to influence other people, there's many people like that, you find them on EVERY forum on the web. Inevitably there's somebody who says "hey guys, here's what i think and how bout all you guys agree with me and ignore this person?".....
I guess your panties are in such a bunch it's not good enough for you to ignore me, you must get everybody else to follow your wishes eh? Look dude if you want to walk away im not stopping you, feel free to kick rocks. But you are enlightening your personality in unflattering ways when you use herd mentality tactics bc you are too insecure to make your own decisions. Be a man, make your own decisions and stop being a cowherd. The truth will stand on it's own merit, if im worth of a complete ignore, then people will make their own decisions to do so.
But if the hormone numbers "make sense" now then what's the problem? And no im not above average with my TT, im right in the middle of a good range. So what i've been saying and what somebody else has showed up to say has been right all along, i metabolize fast. Im guessing my doc saw a pattern somewhere, maybe he's seen others with my numbers and had prior experience how to handle it.
I bet my initial levels are pretty high which is why i needed an AI, but thanks to a high rate of metab, i have a large swing of numbers. Luckily my AI has a half life too and will wane as my TT drops over the week. The end result is i feel great all the time, have no sides, and get to tell know-it-alls my doc was right. I thin yur just jealous im on legal Test and get to have a trough of over 250 FT.
Feel free to hit that ignore button now.
Told ya you were in store for a lot of arguing.
That’s where you speak non sense... the idea of TRT is to have you on STEADY LEVELS IN THE OPTIMAL RANGE. That is basic stuff... that’s why pinning twice a week is usually ideal, that is why most doc wants someone to stay with levels that are steady throughout the week. Going from 3000 back down to 900 is an horrible idea long term. That’s all he’s trying to say man!!I don't have little schoolgirl feelers so it's ok. I've been part of a photography forum for over 8 years and a car forum for a year, same exact thing there, it's how EVERY forum is. But now, if people aren't controlled by grudges that is, maybe people can admit my numbers make sense and my doc wasn't wrong, nor am i lying about anything.
My TT probly swings from 2000 to 9000 within that 7 days. No big deal, the AI will help while im peaked and i feel great. Like i said above, i may be higher than some who are also at their target numbers but i spend less time at peak since i metabolize it faster. It all evens out.
What i care about is feeling good, having my numbers stay good, and seeing my free T stay good relative to my TT.
Read his post again, he basically said "yea his numbers make sense now", yea duh, i've been saying this the entire time. He's actually agreeing with me, it only took Nac to tell him it was all ok. Dude starts out saying something is wrong, and ends up agreeing with me that it "makes sense".This is why I couldn’t keep up with you I’m usually pretty kind but the way you answer to people ignoring everything they have said makes me want to bang my head on a wall.

He agreed after réflexion it makes sense that your level are only 900 on such a big dose because your bloods were taken 7 days after injections dude!!! Meaning your original spiking levels are much much higher.Read his post again, he basically said "yea his numbers make sense now", yea duh, i've been saying this the entire time.

Well the info was there the whole time so why did he show up blowing out insults instead of just using his brain? This is why i answer on everything but what they said, bc i knew i was right so why waste time answering insults and stupid stuff? That guy ended up agreeing my numbers make sense, so you tell me why should i do anything but point out his mistakes?
Okay after this comment I’ve realised how uninformed you are, there’s not even a possible way we can talk. I sincerely wish you the best you will not see me here again and I’ll stop bugging youYur full of it. There are still TRT docs who only have you pin twice a month. There's no way in hell you can be on T cyp and pin twice a month and keep your TT in range that entire time. That's not the way half lifes work. Why are you even pretending this?

I dont follow.Bro.
You’ve been on testosterone therapy for 7 days?
I appreciate the info OOB. I had speculated that maybe the reason people here aren't connecting with my sentiments are this is the "anabolic" forum and they are only paying attention to their subset of hormone use. My doc also said it's normal as everybody can react differently to hormones, same with what i've read many times online.
But i will go check out the anti aging section, they may be better educated in TRT discussions.

How long have you been on testosterone under the care of this doctor? What point in your TRT were these labs taken?
Not trying to get in the middle of this, but I think @Jinsun is right on point.You do have a point there. Cyp has an 8 day terminal half life, allegedly, so this means his TT number would be app 1800, 12h after pining (Tmax is 12h for enth and cyp). Supposedly he metabolises it a bit faster, making his terminal half life 5 days. This would put him at app 2200 on the day off the pin.

Ok, done.
Can we all press the ignore button on the OP now?
thank you lol. Such a simple concept. Yet he says his doctor does not care about high peaks and trt is not based around steady levels. This is him right here and I quote "'ll tell you why, bc they don't care about peaks or averages, they care about the lowest point we get between injections to make sure we aren't EVER below safe range. And you call me uninformed?". This right here goes against every basic concept of TRT. Fluctuation of levels is one of the first reasons RBC / hematocrit gets out of range etc. But I came to the conclusion he’s probably a troll just having a good laugh at us.Not trying to get in the middle of this, but I think @Jinsun is right on point.
I metabolize test very quickly, the day after 200 mg of test C I am at 1800 TT, 6 days later I'm at 600 TT. If he does metabolize test as quickly as I do, he is looking at a 2500+ TT the day after injection. Definite blasting territory, and would explain why his free T is so damn high.
Thank you for explaining this and indeed it does make sense. I get the feeling some of these guys think im lying or something, or my doc is somehow altering numbers.Not trying to get in the middle of this, but I think @Jinsun is right on point.

Everything ive posted is accurate, maybe this thread will end up benefitting these guys too. Out of curiosity is your FT also high?
Yes my free t was close to yours, quite elevated. My first TRT doc was a script jockey and didnt blink twice at the elevated free T. He eventually went down for insurance fraud. Then my new TRT doc tested my peak, saw it was way too high, and cut my dose. I was at 200 mg for years though, and do not think I was doing myself any favors.
I’m starting to think you either have mental issues or you’re trolling. This guy litterally proved our point and a couples hours ago you would say docs don’t give a flying **** about peaking levels only lowest levels and now you’re agreeing with him. He litterally agreed upon what Jinsun said, which you denied. Dude you’re sick in the head lmfao I’m honestly thinking you’re just a troll.Ok i will keep that in mind. I figure i will go by my bloods over time, no matter what my serum volume is. If im taking 100mg weekly and my hemo and BP is sky high, im still dropping to 50mg ect. I don't have any family history of heart disease, cancer, or diabetes, nothing really. Before TRT i was at 30% body fat and had no bad bloods other than my hemo being about 2% over the limit.
I have a feeling resistance to hormone sides are as real as excretion variation. I had 146 e2 at just over 3mo, probably had high e2 the entire time and other than some water retention, no sides to speak of. Which by the way was a hell of a swing, i went from e2 of 6 before TRT to 146 after. Pretty crazy.
But im glad you mention all this, it's nice to see validation that hormone metabolism rates do indeed vary and hear it from a real person here instead of only being able to cite "sources" in the threads. I wonder if anybody who has ignored me will reverse it? LOL i doubt it. owell.

Please do keep an eye on bp and htc, especially if you stick to 300 mg. My bp was awful on 200 mg.Ok i will keep that in mind.

Dosing T twice weekly is something worth bringing up with your doc, in my opinion. Doctors prescribe shots once every week or two strictly for compliance. A lot of guys agree twice weekly is superior for maintaining stable hormone levels, more stability = less estrogen conversion.
Very cool, did not know you pinned that frequently. Do you do subq or IM? I've been reading a lot lately about people pinning subq daily. Even down to as low as 10 mg per day for guys over 70.EOD 0.2ml’s, almost no need for an AI, and hct never been out of range after years. I would def agree that more pins seems to be better. Than there really isn’t a “valley” or “trough”
