44 and just started trt

Why are you taking an AI without blood work? In my opinion you should shoot for the least amount of exogenous testosterone to mimic your own test. 100mg/wk is a good starting point. Again this is just my opinion. My current protocol is only 50mg every 3.5 days. This keeps me in the high 800's. Good Luck..
will keep that in mind just doing what doctor prescribed.

Understandable. Keep us updated. Also, keep an eye on your RBC and Hematocrit. Donating blood every 3 months is what I do to keep it in check. Plus it feels good knowing you're helping up to 3 people with every pint of blood.

Yes it does.
My hemoglobin gets around 19.7
But I try to keep it under 17.
If I get it under 16 my bp is 117/60
But above 17 bp is 138/80
My hematocrit stays between 48-52%
At blood bank most of hemo checkers from prick only measure hemoglobin but sometimes some of them measure hematocrit
I have an oder from trt dr to go as often as every 3 weeks it's only way I can keep it down.
I do therapeutic phlebotomy at least 12 times per year this has been for almost 4 years

It's fine and dandy to get opinions from forums, but just remember we aren't doctors or professionals. Get established with an endocrinologist and a TRT specialist. Get your bloods done. Everyone is different. You may not need 200mg a week (Which I would bet) you may only need 100mg. Having too high of T for extended times, WILL damage your HPTA and hypothalamus. Plus, using too much HCG will desensitize your leydig cells and eventually stop working. Usually a protocol from a TRT specialist is 5-6 weeks hcg at a customized dose, and then 4 weeks off. Don't be foolish and make sure you get that blood work done and stay within limits. You can always BLAST, but no need to stay above 1500ng for trt.

Exactly.
I come in at 860-999 total testosterone at 100 mg a week.
I blast alot.
My red blood cells rise even on trt 100 wk.
I was having the same issue with total testosterone of 147 for almost a year.
My hpta has been damaged long before trt.
And hcg is not gonna save anyone!
It may help especially in reservations to have kids or more kids but who knows what else it will do or cause.
I do my blood work at trt dr every 6 months and thank God he is able to get my phlebotomy's ordered for every 3 weeks or as needed.
I have polycythemia or secondary polycythemia and it's hasn't went away no matter what they tried and I tried.
Something either was damaged permanently or I have a gene mutation.

Listen to dr.
It will prolly be in 90 days if all is good again in 5 months if all good prolly every 6 months.
So just let things get stable follow program and see how u come in at 90 days.
Alot of trt clinics or on line try to put u at optimal levels they say at 1200 range

Just to let yall know.
I do therapeutic phlebotomy as often as every 3 weeks or as needed. Even on my trt dose of 50 mg @2x wk I gotta do it.
I just left lab to check my storage iron.
Last year it got low had to take iron with vitamin c for absorbsion.
I have to avoid high protein because it increases my red blood cells too much.
Then the loss of things in my whole blood have really affected my results from gym past few years. It sucks having this secondary polycythemia it looks like there aren't many that get it like I do.
I have noticed guys that have been on a long time are the ones more vulnerable to it.

i didn't see any results with tb500. i think the adarine (mk2866) helped better, especially for joint pain.

I believe that tb500 had to be taken for long time before it will start to help.
It is supposed to help inflammation and promote healing.
There is so much BUNK out there. One needs to really do there research before wasting time with Peps.
Not only do I need to research but I also have to trust a real person who can vouch for Peps before I will try them from such a place.
Osta lgd and rad 140 have all given me joint and tendon relief.
I will be adding MC store osta and Lgd to my trt cruise starting in June I will use one at a time and I will have a thorough log on here. I also will do my trt labs in July while on at least the osta

I never have tried it yet. I have used some Peps that were g2g in past but no longer available thru that source.
I know of 2-3 legit places as of now and a few others that I have heard varies.

And tb500 how often is it used?

i tried peptides to see if they worked. i know there are no magic bullets out there, but the hope of relief from chronic pain is always a motivating force. no, don't try everything. i do spend some time researching, but i tell you the net can be a hot bed of misinformation. i did not know it needed to be used for awhile.
as for the osta, i've only used the mc brand. i need to get more, finances got short due to unforeseen circumstances. i certainly prefer the osta over deca when it comes to side effects, but the deca is great for the strength gains.
i originally got started with trt last sept, and i wasn't really looking for anything more than just boosting my testosterone. i felt a lot better doing that, but the info on here was great as well as other research on steroids. needless to say, misinformation in the world is rampant when it comes to such things. so i've tried a few other things and liked them. so, after i cruise little, i'll blast again.
plan to give blood here soon, my bp has been up as well. it's been getting a little higher with age, but trt and blast has increased it as well.
i don't get to talk with real ppl about this stuff, except on here and a little on another forum. i think this one gives a little better info. i don't go to a gym due to chemical sensitivities, and there are way too many ppl who wear way too much perfume or other scents, just about everywhere i go. it's ridiculous, these ppl wear it so much they don't even smell it any more. i know they've gotten use to it, but dang, i need to breath. there ought to be a law against it.

I am not claiming to know it all. But I am aware of the same misinformation info that is on the net. People do what u said exactly, they go rampant on certain areas of things and research and they change what it really means to a big degree and everyone believes it and one author after another writes up the same bull!!!
I have always been pretty good at science of our bodies and understand enzymes, cells, receptors, mechanisms of action and our metabolism. I have read lots of studies alot with the crap articles. I see thru alot of the bull. I feel I can be very informative to guys who really wanna know. I try not to be too controversial on forums towards this misinformation but sometimes I tell what I know because I wanna help others to understand better.
I have ran osta straight thru my trt labs last time and all was good!!!!
That was encouraging.
Osta doesn't create the fat accumulations like deca does!!!
On your trt well myself my bp creeps up but if I stay with lower bmi and bf my bp is good. I am trying to get bf back down and my bp will be good again.
