    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Thanks for the reply Vince. I definitely over think things lol. Usually I keep it in check but certain things it shows more lol. I was going to stick with twice a week (Monday 8am and Thursday 8pm) but since I am a low SHBG guy and I am taking closer to 200mg a week I figured three days would be...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    For members that do every other day shots of T, does that mean one week your doing 3 shots (say for example Monday so M/W/F) and then the following week 4 shots (Sun/Tue/Thur/Sat)? Then back to 3 shots the third week? If so do you use a lower dose on the 4 times a week? Example you want to use...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Thanks again for taking your time explaining all this to me. For added info. Last night thinking about all this, and members saying I'm taking too much I started worrying my E2 may be climbing. I'm confused how everyone said don't touch a AI in till I get tested, but If I'm on whats...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    WOW and that's trough! Whats your SHBG? I was wondering how much of a difference being on HCG would have. Maybe that's all I needed to add? So staying on were I'm at right now @ 100 M/TH and 250iu's M/W/F may have me coming back at a insane level? So everyone here thinks around 70 twice a...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Yes Thank you for taking the time to bring these things to my attention. As I mentioned above I know there is much for me to learn. I am curious though how I will respond to the higher level. To see how I feel and to see those numbers so I can see the whole picture (of being really low and...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    I'm not sure if you read that whole introduction above but I am definitely not doing this solely to pack on muscle. I don't do hidden agenda stuff. How can any of you help me if I'm not honest with you or myself. As I mentioned I was in such poor shape before starting any T that I constantly...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    For example my last test listed which is my new current clinic has Estradiol at 23.2 range is (7.6 - 42.6) How should it look if it was sensitive? Also based off that number would my E2 be considered high, low, fine or no way of knowing? I thought non sensitive test were the ones that had...

    Trying to get therapeutic phlebotomy but getting discouraged

    Try your local hospital. They will probably have a donation laboratory area. They will take scripts printed out on your computer which I'm assuming yours is since you said out of state. They took mine and said they will throw out my blood. So they have no problem doing that. All other places...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Can someone please confirm if one of the clinic blood works tested my E2 wrong?? Those would be the last three test posted. I'm basing my decisions on the fact I was reading the right E2 info, but if I'm not, I'd like to know. Thanks

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Thanks, I was planning on not taking it this Thursday and didn't take it this Monday either. As long as my erections stay and I don't feel worse I will wait till the 6 week blood work before using it.

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    If you mean they will restrict my dose if they see a high reading, the Dr said I can be around 1000. I personally think based on now knowing I had low t my whole life and seeing now how I was traveling threw life on 3 flat tires, I will be really happy just being around 800 I'm thinking. Maybe I...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Wow! Great info, thank you . I was wondering if their was a formula to figure that out. So its safe to say 90 is definitely not enough since it made my already low natural numbers worse and that was 90 for 7 weeks. I was thinking because I'm taking HCG it will help boost those numbers and I...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Thank you for all the reply's so far. For what I'm doing right now... They said inject 200 test C once a week Im injecting 100 on Monday and the other 100 on Thursday. I'm thinking since I was on 140 for two weeks and my numbers were still as low as they were, I need more. I do realize I have...

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Hello everyone, To start I just turned 37 years old. I'm 6'3" and 215 pounds with id say around 15-20% body fat. I've taken Zoloft a SSRI since I was a teenager for anxiety at 100mg a day. I feel that pill is the reason I have low T (based on low FSH and LH #'s). I still take it today. I...
