    Default What is the average dose protocol for HRT?

    Ive been doing 300 mg per week of Sust
    Is this about right? I usually stay on for many months, take off for about 6 wks then back on

    IDK i know i would love to use your dosage every week. But i definitely wouldnt use sustanon over cypionate. I didnt even know sustanon was prescribed for HRT.

    oh lol. Yeah mine is through my doctor and he is pretty strict with the dosage. Personally i think sustanon should be taken every other day , at least until the long esters in it kick in, at which point spreading out shots is ok. That is if its a traditional 4 testosterone ester blend

    Just was wonderingn if the protocol was same for hrt as for a 25 yr old drugging, thnx for the info, it has made me lessen the dose just a bit and go every 10 days like you

    Presser the Dr not concerned w receptors getting dirty? Maybe not at yr dose and frequency?

    Not that im aware brutha. my endogenous test is Kapoot! lol, so i suppose if i were to over saturate my receptors with exo test we'd maybe try a different test maybe that hits a different receptor, idk, it hasnt happened yet. But i do know that i cant or rather refuse to NOT take anything.

    great question though, and hes only been prescribing me for a couple years now, and hasnt said anything other when to get blood work.

    I assume yr getting yr test from a pharmacy?

    My Dr is vehemently against using PED but maybe at my age I can cold turkey it, let my levels drop drastically and go to him for blood work to prove I need HRT

    yes lol, all legit , doctor prescribed, and pharmacy pickup. Though its always Testosterone Cypionate they fill the script for, it seems to always be a different pharmaceutical company made cypionate, and a couple of my bottles im assuming came straight from a compounding pharmacy which looked terrible as far as labeling goes lol, you would have thought i bought it online 15 years ago, cause now days the labeling from online sources looks more professional than these legit compounding pharmacies.

    I will say this though, shit labels or not on ocassion, the testosterone cypionate inside is always on point!!!!

    i would suggest to 99% of members yes! And i havent a clue how far youve taken it, and whether your able to recover or not. I just know my situation in terms of needing to stay on hrt.

    I should really request comprehensive blood test. Im not sure my insurance co would cover me if they knew I was taking cyp w/o RX though.
    My Dr a super great guy but I doubt he would write a RX for HRT.....plus he wants me vaxed too

    I run 200 mg of test cyp a week. They put me on the gel years ago and that messed me up bad as my levels dropped. I will never be off my shots again. Now that is not to say that I may bump it up soon to say, 600mg a week and low dose deca for my joints.

    Me neither. My GF's heart issues increased within a few months last year after she got vaxxed and it may have contributed to her death. Also she was born at Camp Lejune in the time frame that is being scrutizied

    If your Dr is in board with TRT I have never heard of a break since it is replacing, in a sense, what your body should be making. If your body doesn't make it then stopping the TRT at any point will not be a good thing and cause undue stress and symptoms to your body.

    exactly!! However in fairness, Survivors question got me thinking as with exogenous testosterone, your receptors can become saturated. So i am now wanting to as my doctor what his thoughts are on this, maybe they cant saturate when using just a small doage every ten days like i do, but i dont know long term. So it got me thinking anyhow

    Guess it depends on how much you are taking. If you take to much and you body can still make it's own it will shut off natural production. I would think the body can handle exogenous test, without over saturation, if kept below a certain level. That's my 2 cents and of course we are all different and at what level that happens to be is probably a moving target.

    I should have jumped in here earlier. I've been on doctor prescribed TRT for 23 years. Started out at 300mg/week because I was so low and at 30 years old. I'm now 53, and I've been on 400mg/week for probably about 8-10 years, I've lost count. During all this time, I've had different doctors, some knowledgeable about TRT, and some painfully not. I was lucky to get a couple that understand how the half life of cypionate works and that a high test result isn't bad. Over the years, I've found that this is what works best for me. I've known a couple of others on the board that had a doc prescribe more than 400mg for them, so it's just all how it works individually.

    Big Z,

    That is awesome. I got a call last night from a buddy that is worried about his dad. The doc put him on trt 1/2 cc a week, and his numbers were 300 after being on this for 6 months. Some doc's just don't get it and end up doing more damage than helping. After our discussion, he is going to have his dad bump up his dosage.
