Just an update that due to a cancellation my appointment was moved from late March to today.

I have been prescribed a starting dosage of 140 mg of test cyp per week. I asked if I could split that in half and go with 70 mg every 3.5 days. He said I could do whatever frequency I wanted as long as I hold to the 140 per week total dose. He said to let him know if I feel any sides that could indicate he needs to control estrogen.

I just injected 70mg of Pfizer in the right quad tonight. Used 18g to draw and 23g to inject. The cost was only 6 bucks for the 10ml vial with my work benefits.

I will have bloodwork done in 4 weeks to check levels and the doc will adjust dose if required. He wants to focus on my free test getting to upper range of normal - about 600 pmol/L - but will back off if sides appear.

Unfortunately, as noted on their website PEAK is no longer accepting new clients.
