Second Opinion on Restarting TRT (Primary Hypogandism)
That was day 31 after starting TRT, and my doses only got higher after that. So further suppression almost certainly did occur. That linked thread was very interesting, but it also underscores how complicated and nuanced this all gets. I'm about 15 weeks after my last does of cypionate, and...- ClashCityRocker

Second Opinion on Restarting TRT (Primary Hypogandism)
I would love for this to be true. In my case, it seems exogenous T was good for anabolism and bad for other things. But the boost I got coming off (which I interpret as my natural production coming back on as the cypionate started to clear and maybe elevated E2 levels dropped) felt absolutely...- ClashCityRocker

Second Opinion on Restarting TRT (Primary Hypogandism)
My endo didn't follow it the first time around, unfortunately. I just had an ultra-sensitive E2 baseline drawn this morning in case I decide to try again. I think I'm going to give it another few months and get my labs redrawn. I'm skinnier than when I was on TRT, but I feel better off it.- ClashCityRocker

Second Opinion on Restarting TRT (Primary Hypogandism)
I've posted on this forum before, and the feedback has been very helpful. I'm at 3 months after a 110-day TRT trial earlier this year that was stopped mainly because of adverse sexual side effects (now improved somewhat off-therapy). The other symptoms that caused me to seek TRT in the first...- ClashCityRocker

Re use the individual Cypionate vials or throw away?
I did a deep dive on this today, so maybe what I learned could be helpful to others. The big chain pharmacy that I use dispenses a single 1 mL vial for each of my prescribed weekly doses of 0.4 mL. The pharmacist there, moreover, confirmed that I should only use each vial once and discard the...- ClashCityRocker

Instant Blood Pressure Spike on Starting TRT
Update: BP at one week trough (after 40 mg) was 121/74. For me, that is great a reading under any circumstance. Very stoked! I'm going to try to 20 mg every 3 days for now. I would even go less, but I'm working with kind of shitty Amazon 1mL syringes and separate 25 gauge needles (moving...- ClashCityRocker

Man, I hope so. I'm feeling less hyper, but still a little giddy. Have to watch myself at work, ha.- ClashCityRocker

Nope. Only prescription med I'm on is T cypionate.- ClashCityRocker

Instant Blood Pressure Spike on Starting TRT
It was so pronounced, I literally thought maybe something was wrong with the drugs I'd been given. But they came right from CVS, ha. . For the record, I don't actually know what meth is like. But if it's wilder than that, it's not for me.- ClashCityRocker

Instant Blood Pressure Spike on Starting TRT
Yes, I read somewhere on here that it's a myostatin inhibitor. That would probably be the first one I'd ask about if it came to that. I'm hoping a lower, more frequent dose will help me get through the transition period on T and hopefully avoid other drugs, at least as long as possible. I...- ClashCityRocker

Instant Blood Pressure Spike on Starting TRT
It was somewhat subtle after the first shot. I felt energetic and giddy that day. But I also had a slight headache and trouble sleeping. The day of the second shot, however (which was half the dose of he first shot), I felt as if I had taken a hit of meth (or what I imagine that must feel...- ClashCityRocker

Instant Blood Pressure Spike on Starting TRT
Doc answered promptly (that's nice). He said to cut back to 0.2 mL once a week. Still wondering if it would be better to split it into 2 doses.- ClashCityRocker

Instant Blood Pressure Spike on Starting TRT
That all makes perfect sense. Thank you for the input. I actually like the stimulated feeling, other than the sleep deprivation. I used to be a caffeine fiend, but I've cut down to two strong cups of coffee before noon. Maybe this will be the impetus to get it off it for good. Does dosing...- ClashCityRocker

Instant Blood Pressure Spike on Starting TRT
Things aren't off to a good start, I'm afraid. When I was examined by the endocrinologist last month, his office measured my blood pressure at 130/80. I'm typically about 128/78. He started me on a relatively modest dose (0.4 mL/80 mg of Cypionate) once a week. I have primary hypogonadism, so...- ClashCityRocker

Re use the individual Cypionate vials or throw away?
I just started, and the pharmacy gave me 1 mL "single-use" bottles for each of my 0.4 mL weekly doses. The bottles have a rubber stopper, just like on the 10 mL multiuse bottles. I clean that with alcohol each time, and the only thing going through it is a sterilized needle tip. Personally...- ClashCityRocker
