Under 240 total and they will almost always prescribe HRT...
At the same time, the Free being the more important of the two, most endo's dont know enough to realize this...
However as a new HRT patient they may require blood work every month for the first 6 months..Many doctors will start with a gel such as Andro gel before prescribing cyp.
and most Endo's only prescribe 50-100mgs every week or every other week...It is important to find a good doctor who understands true dosage schedules, and not an endo that is used to doing Hormone Replacement for 65 year old men.

Excellent point.
I got a call from the docs office today and they are sending me to a urologist instead because they dont do TRT since they dont do it their. I found out that it was not an endo I went to but a general doctor and my insurance had them labeled as an endo for some reason. They told me that they didnt want to screw it up so go see this guy who they send all their TRT people to. I know that I dont want cream but injection. I already called my insurance and the cream is actually more a month on my plan. 45 for cream for a month and test cyp no matter the dosage per ml is 20 per 10 ml.

to the guys here who are on TRT that had the original bloodwork around mine what doses are you getting or should I expect to get if I get cyp. I have read they try and shoot to get your levels up to 700-800 overall all but what should the free test be up to in your experience

Yeah they sent me to a urologist also to help get my sperm count up, and I need to go back to get my Upjohn Cypionate injections!!
today I called my insurance company about copays for treatment. They told me that the gel would cost me 65 copay a month and that test-c generic would be 10 copay up to 200mg per 10cc bottle and say if and I dnt think it will happen say he wants me on 400mg it would be 20 per bottle and if I get it through mail order the price would be cut in half but have to three bottles at a time. If anything I will ask for injections since its so much cheaper and we know that this works. I find out on monday
The Doctor is going to go with the lowest dose first and find the range which is therapeutic. His dose is not going to build any significant muscle either. Screw the cream you want test cyp and 1.5 inch needles. I mean the cream grows hair on the application site, I used both for 10 years now, A weekly injection is best. Now If you read the pamphlet which comes with the test you will see that it indicates maximum dose at 200 mg a week. This is what I take and it works well for me. He will probably start you with 100 mg a week or like 200mg every 2 weeks. You want weekly not bi weekly and you want to self administer not come into his office either.

i get 100mg a week test cyp and its crazy but i have lost strength the past 11 months, everything else about TRT has been great. my levels were 290 and now range from 500-750 depending on day of week. im 30 and have only used PH in the past never really put together a successful cycle and my goals are for health, fitness and self-esteem not muscle bound so 100mg a week is perfect. the truth is im to old and lazy to try to compete in bodybuilding

I am definately going to go for self administration. I have cycled so I know what to do. not hard at all. I was just writing about how cheap it is. I was suprised by that. I was also reading elsewhere that people who are on trt can still use tren since it doesnt bind to the same receptors as test so it wont raise levels but lower them actually. and if you use while on trt to stop a while before your labs so things dont look weird on test so your levels come back within range. I wont do this right away but found these articles to be very interesting.

This is correct- I have been on HRT for 8 months- and I am still at 1cc of test cyp every 7 days. I was on cream previously and it did not do shit-- that was through a urologist. I changed docs and now with an HRT doc- I was able to add HGH 4 weeks ago- 2 more weeks to go, then more bloodwork.

Surprised me as well.
It is why I had to stop the IGF before they did the test for GH.
how much is it without insurance?

For me it was $299 per kit- or $1794 for a 6 week supply.
I really had to cut back on a lot of stuff per week to get it....
GEEZUZ Ill bet you you had to cut back on alot of stuff,lol, like food, gas, mortgage ect...lol, Damn thats pricey but ill bet its rock solid good stuff!

Yes it kind of sucked I used to pay a lot more long time ago when I first used it-- but it was human grade stuff...
Still not cheap though..
