New protocol

Starting 2x weekly injections for trt. 185lbs. Any suggestion on starting dosage? Thx.

You have been on TRT, haven't you? What was your previous protocol? Have you been prescribed a new one, or are you gathering information to take to your doctor? I will note that 50mg/every 3.5 days is an excellent starting point. Following four weeks blood can be measured. However, more information on you situation would help us.

Are you self administering?

Vettester Chris · Nov 23, 2015

Yeah, just start with what your physician prescribed ...

I'd start with the amount that has been prescribed to you, labs in 4-6 weeks, and evaluate for changes then.

I'm 5'9'' and 155 lb.s, I started with 70 mg of testosterone and 500 iu of hcg twice a week.

How long have you been on the therapy? What results did you get with the previous protocol?

Vettester Chris · Nov 23, 2015

I really have no idea why weight even gets brought up with this stuff. Blood serum is blood serum, we're not talking about caloric intake?

Test, is that question for me? I was on that protocol for 6 months then increase to 80 mg and still 500 iu of hcg twice a week.

Chris, thanks for adding that, I didn't know weight doesn't matter.

No Vince, the question was meant for tjlab. It was hard to give input to make a change in his protocol without knowing what happened in his existing or previous protocol.

Can any one tell me about the chronic disorder.

A disease that persists for a long time. A chronic disease is one lasting 3 months or more, by the definition of the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics. Chronic diseases generally cannot be prevented by vaccines or cured by medication, nor do they just disappear. Eighty-eight percent of Americans over 65 years of age have at least one chronic health condition (as of 1998). Health damaging behaviors - particularly tobacco use, lack of physical activity, and poor eating habits - are major contributors to the leading chronic diseases.
