What is your trt dose and where does it get your free test.

[Ogre717]

200mg/week Cyp. My endo does bloods the day before my shot and the day after. Around 500 before and about 1000 after. This is pinning just once a week, I plan to start splitting it up to 2x/wk.

I have yet to do trt through a doctor ... but trying to learn how to play the doctor game for the eventual time when I do.

Does your doctor know about your 2x week plan? Seems like your before/after bloods will be different from what he's used to seeing, even with the same weekly total dose ... how will that go next time you see him?

We talked about it for more stable levels. Getting on prescribed TRT is really the hard part, once you're there, adjusting the dose and frequency is different for everyone and you have to make changes and retest until you find what you feel best on and the doc agrees with the blood work. I'm not sure I'll be telling the doc when I blast. I'll likely just time the blast where I cruise long enough before my next round of bloods.

The “game” will change with the doc. I’ve dealt with both ends of the spectrum… have a middle of the road guy right now… just right. He will listen I can be honest with him without any fears of losing a script. (Scripts aren’t hard to get- competent docs are). Most are ignorant.. the others just want money and will give you anything. Find the middle guy.

TY. Got any views on Endos vs. normal docs?

I have no idea what my free test is but at 140mg/wk I stay in the 900 range for total test.

That's pretty bad. One thing I've noticed for myself is I have had to increase my dose over the years to keep the same level of Test. Not sure if that's just an effect of actually using the extra (more muscle/receptors) or some kind of androgen resistance. Curious what @Glycomann thinks.

Probably increased activities of excretory procsses. These things get glucuronated and sulfonated to prepare them for excretion through the urine. also they are conjugated for removal trough the bile duct system in the liver. I speculate that as we progress down the road of their use upregulation of these processes occurs as the body adapts to their use.

This thread makes me feel like i want to stick with self administered trt rather than trying to find a PCP who is on board. The chances of finding one that is educated on an actual effective protocol seems slim.

I like to keep mine between 800-1000. Its sometimes higher because I only inject once every ten days now. 250mg.

Absolutly will always do it myself! Doctors are the worst! Cdc robots

Yea PCP's are fucken worthless. They'll only jab you up on useless shit, prescribe death pills, and send someone to the grave in a jiffy. A long time ago I had to get a referral for a endocrine specialist b/c of low tes on labs. The mother fucker said sorry I dont practice that kind of medicine when I asked to get C200. Ever since then I don't bother wasting my time with PCP's. I met a guy that left PCP and started up his own hormone therapy business using his MD license. He will prescribe GH, TRT, and other stuff with labs every six months. It's not covered by insurance. It's a monthly subscription for $200. He says he makes more money doing that than being a PCP.

A friend of mine couldn’t get his script for test cyp for 2 months, they did not have his dose, haha- shortage I guess. Why deal with this bulshit, spend a couple hundred and have 2 years worth. The whole health care system is a joke! Last year I did bloodwork and they make you answer the dumb Covid questions, make me take a new mask and they gave me a sticker “safe with us”. The system is a joke. Bunch of sheep
