Anyone here on TRT?

[raty tat tat]

Thanks for the insight. I'm about to be 41. My girlfriend is 23. Very good chance I'll marry her. Right now I feel great, in every sense. And she's always good to go. Hah. But I figure that around 50, if i start to feel some slowdown, I might get on TRT. Which will be around the time she's at the age where she wants it more than ever. So the timing will work out well. Haha.

The thing I'm concerned about most though is hair loss. I like my hair. Hah. Have you noticed any hair loss, or thinning, you can attribute to TRT? What about any changes like reddish skin color, jaw shape change, etc?

-85 mg Testosterone Cypionate twice a week

-500 iu HCG twice a week

-.125 anastrozole trice a week

Ok, I did a king stack a few times and it's similar.

Not perscribed by a Dr though.

 

[MASShole]

Yeah I asked him about that and he kept assuring me it was normal, saying their are different types and that cypionate is slow release. I feel like shit. It's painful when googling something can provide you with better information than a doctor.

The half life is like 13 days, so with a two week injection window you're at less than half by the time of your next dose. That's not good. Too much peak/valley nonsense.

Seems really odd to have you taking test and HCG. HCG will jumpstart your nuts if they're not producing, so it's weird to be on an activator and suppressor at the same time.

With TRT you don't inject into the vein you inject into the muscle. Either the thigh or the ass.

So it would be ok to stab yourself every day with a small dose to avoid the peaks and valleys?

I'm not sure about micro-dosing. For one thing, it would be difficult to get that little into a syringe I would think. I'll ask my fiance when she gets back from the pharmacy because she's the one that's a medical professional & gives me my injections. I'll get back to you on that.

OK, I asked my fiance about it & she said that micro-dosing wouldn't work. You'd be wasting the testosterone because in that small of a dose it wouldn't have any efficacy even if you did it every day. I guess your body would just flush it out. Hope the info helps, bro.

Yeah I just got my levels tested again, even lower than before I started. I see him Monday. So stupid.

No. After just a few weeks of injections you don't really experience peaks/valleys anymore, assuming a good dose and a weekly injection.

Plus, there are really only 4 safe sites to inject by yourself, and it takes multiple days to fully heal and not feel like a bolus is in your injection site before having to inject again. I inject my thighs, and sometimes they hurt for multiple days, and other times I don't feel anything the next day. It's strange.

I had a cypionate half life spreadsheet awhile back but can't find it anymore. After like 3 or 4 weeks of 125 mg/week you're pretty damn steady, and the valleys are more in accord with natural valleys that occur even while not on TRT.

Makes sense, especially the part about there being natural peaks and valleys. I don't get tested but I know that my t fluctuates depending on a variety of factors.

Same thing here. Sometimes my asscheek is just a little tender afterward but at other times I can hardly sit down. It varies.

Does anyone find injecting intramuscular once a week feels better than injecting smaller dosages twice a week (whether it's subq or IM).

A youtuber bignoknow says he found 1x a week works much better for him than twice a week.

But I hear injecting twice a week is better for keeping your e2 levels from spiking up.

I do subq in the belly fat twice a week....thinking about switching to once a week injections intramuscularly (intramuscular is necessary for dosages above 80 mg per week I hear)

its because I want to have kids, afterwards, Ill get off the HCG

could be broscience, but Ive read that SubQ converts more to DHT

2x/week injections won't have the big spike in T as 1x/week would. I take anastrazole the day after my injection to prevent the conversion. You'd still have some conversion if you do it 2x/week, but the spike won't be as major, so you'll still need anastrazole at least 1x/week, I think.

It's just a PITA to inject more than once per week, I think. I travel a lot for work and don't want to carry needles and stuff with me.

That makes sense. Theoretically you could do 100mg clomid often enough, and hCG at the same time for about 6 months to see if your nuts correct themselves. Plus, clomid causes your loads to be enormous, which is a hilarious side effect.

on TRT myself. curious to see if there are any other fellow recipients on Sherdog as well.

Not on TRT but gonna test up later in the year, need to drop some fat first, got a two cycle worth of gear in my closet. I fully plan on 3-4 test cycles in future. At 34 it's time, I need to max out on them gainz.

If you're going to do that, and let's say I'd give you recommendations, my recommendations may include to not do just Testosterone alone at high doses but also add in another ancillary supplement, make sure you take an aromatase inhibitor weekly or semi-weekly, and have a fucking killer PCT regimen in place like clomid, hCG and nolvadex after your exogenous T is minimalized (like 2-3 weeks after your last dose). Then do it for as long as your cycle, tapering off the last few weeks.

No need to lose your gainz, homey.

Word, and thanks for that. I've both Nolva and clomid in stock, getting ready for some work I may throw in car again, I liked it the two times I used it. That or turinabol if I can wait to get it. Thoughts?

PM sent. Getting a wee bit specific.
