That's a strong weekly dose....I'm certain you will notice a huge difference in strength and recovery.

Yes, you will see a difference in many areas but why is your dose so high?

At that level I'd have concerns of going supraphysiological and elevated E2 levels.

Normally we see men starting a TRT protocol at 100 mg per week with adjustments in dosage based on subsequent blood work.

Thanks for the response guys! That is the dosage the Dr. gave me after he reviewed my labs. supraphysiological and elevated E2 levels? not sure what that is.

Go into the Testosterone forum and read the stickies.

With Testosterone too much is not a good thing for many reasons.

Is your Doc an Endo or family Doc? The 250mg per week baffles me....can you post your labs?

Reyes, welcome to EM, glad you joined!!! I tend to agree that the starting dose is somewhat high. Like LVJR noted, labs would be good to see if you have time and want to share them. Hoping your physician is planning to recheck at approx. six (6) weeks to see where you're at. Also, definitely get familiar with words like "superphysiological", "E2 - Estradiol" and a multitude of other words and variables that are associated to this treatment. It's your program, a little time and research can go a long way! Here to help, just let us know if you have any questions.
