KSman here is a thread there are lots more. Just google cycling while on TRT you will see mounds of information. These people are all being treated by someone and abusing the whole system.

That thread is in steroids not t-replacement. My observation is that when people post threads about running cycles or aiming to achieve very high test numbers, they promptly receive a friendly referral in that direction. If they stay the thread is a very lonely place.
It’s difficult to find anyone in t-replacement recommending a higher dose of Test, HCG or AI. Almost daily you find threads where a guy mentions that his Doctor put him on an insane dose, administered every two or four weeks. That’s what gets me about the claim that the information shared here is dangerous. Most often it’s the voice of temperance that is shared by the majority of the contributors.
After a few bad experiences with Doctors, I now have a great PA. I send him articles and studies, he considers my points and ultimately decides what will work best. I do as he instructs.
200mg’s of cyp every two weeks, in office. 4500iu’s of HCG per week. Yep that was my protocol. After lots of brain storming and sending information back and fourth, it’s now very similar to what is laid out in the stickies and self administered. Long story short, he was open minded enough to learn with me. Most are not so lucky here.
Without a doubt, this sub-forum has been invaluable to my health. Not to mention every guy on hrt at my Doctors office.
At the end of the day, painting folks with a broad brush is pure fallacy. There will always be Doctors with poor understanding and bad health information passed out on the web.
My personal opinion is that t-replacement is a place where men generally help each other with solid understanding, personal experience, sharp minds and conservative recommendations to discuss with your own Doctor.
