2 1/2 weeks in trt some questions.

[smashed25]

I'm on 130 mg self administered TRT, once per week injections. The doc said they like once per week best. I'm into week two on 130 test Cypionate. I see a lot of people recommending split dosing at E 3.5 days, instead of once per week. I have a few questions. Sorry if this is stupid. The bi-weekly, once a week, e3-5 days discussion has been interesting as I learn about trt.

1. I have to go back for blood work on a set Wednesday(injection day) in 2 weeks with instructions not to inject again on that day before the test. If I did the 65 mg 3.5 days before would that skew the results.

2.Since i'm newer to trt and it probably has barely even begun to kick in should I just stick with my protocol? They will be monitoring blood work in 4 week increments (2 more times) to dial it in.

Tnx for the help.

I wouldn't change the protocol until after labs. You can post your labs and get some opinions.

Good advice here from Vince. Some men do just fine on once a week injections; see where things stand after this first lab test. And, in regard to your apology - there are no stupid questions.

I will definitely post labs when I get them. I wish I could fast forward a couple weeks to the blood test, very curious what it will show.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure I could think of a few stupid questions lol .

I will add this point: a doctor/clinic that likes any injection schedule "best" should be evaluated carefully. As I noted, some fellows do just fine injecting once weekly, others every 3.5 days, or every-other-day (I inject every morning, a rare daily injector). My point is that there is no such thing as a "best" schedule in the abstract. Protocols have to be tailored to an individual. Keep us posted.
