I am 63 and in very good shape. 170lb 5'10" 32" waist, 40" chest no big muscles but definitely still beach worthy.
In August 16 my MD, after an annual physical noted my testosterone was at 292 on a range of 300-598 for my age.
for 4 months she put me on 1ml/200mg of test cyp per month (yeh, I know). In Nov 16 just before 4th shot, blood was drawn, all my blood numbers (dozens of them) were within range but my T was 300. She doubled the dose to 2ml/400 mg once a month.this month I went in for blood work three weeks after my last 2ml shot, my blood work again was within range, but my T was 182. I decided it was time to be my own doctor.
since last week I've learnt that the ridiculous 1 a month routine caused my T level to crash (presumably becaus my body has slowed way down on Testosterne manufacture).After speaking with urology, her plan was to half the existing prescription, and have me take 1/ml 200mg every two weeks. I was not pleased.
By some freak occurrence my MD's certified medical assistant , or maybe Nurse practitioner, accidentally wrote a prescription for 2ml/400 mg every TWO weeks.
I was delighted with this error, and I intended to follow this regime. But after reading info on here, I have decided to inject 1ml/200 mg weekly. I believe my MD is not only clueless when it comes to frequency of injections, I think she has been over cautious in getting me up to my T goal which is about 450 (middle of the range for my age). Please give me your opinions on my plans, and also, if I get lazy and only pull a needle out every two weeks (2ml/400mg) are the spikes I will feel harmful to my health, or is it just an E Ticket ride? I actually enjoyed the rocket launch the other day, having T that was probably 140ish by the time I got my shot of 2ml.
