hey jimmy, whats your TT and free T and SHBG on 23mg cyp daily ? thnx
Havent done the bloodwork for it yet. Coming up on 6 weeks in a few days but im not due for labs for like almost 5 months. After my last labs I upped my dose by 13% and switched from EOD to ED
Hi, if anyone is still watching this thread… can anyone let me know if injecting .4 of 10,000IU of HCG 3 times a week and .6 of 200mg/ml of T Enathate once a week is a standard starting point?
The doctor said that it would take about 4 months to start feeling better at this dose…
Is that a 1000IU per mL? Maybe a little high for the hCG and a little low for the test, but in the ballpark.
My question would be regarding the four months. You should start feeling better much quicker. Most report improvements in a couple of weeks.
Thank you… I read that HCG bypasses the brain and goes straight to the testies to help produce a man’s natural test…
how long does that typically take?
It’s pretty quick, guys on TRT report increased testicular size within two weeks of adding hCG.
Your doctor is making statements created in his imagination without intimate knowledge of your biology, most notice a difference pretty quickly, how quickly is a best guess.
I’m biochemically unique and therefore no one could have predicted how sensitive I was going to be to hormones or how long it would take to notice improvements after dosing changes. If I increase T-cypionate from 7mg daily to 8mg, I notice a difference within hours, but that’s just me.
Hi guys… Just hit the second week of TRT and I don’t know if I had a placebo effect at first but the day before my last pin I felt awful… Is this normal?
It is perfectly normal, soon your natural production will cease if it hasn’t already, when this happens you’ll no longer have natural T on top of the injectable T which will see TT an FT levels decrease for about a couple of weeks and when your levels stabilize at 6 weeks, you will slowly start feeling good as you inch closer to 8 weeks.
Hormones are not fast acting like caffeine or drugs, gene expression between target tissues must occur before you start feeling good.
It takes me about 2 months to feel decent and a little longer to feel good. It’s a mind fuck but hang in there and it’ll get better.
Hi, my testosterone went from 11.5 nmol/L to 58 nmol/L in 5 weeks at a dosage of .4/10,000IU of HCG 3 times a week and .6/200mg/ml of T
I am freaking out a little bit… Next appointment is in 2 weeks… This seems like it shouldn’t happen, plus I don’t feel that much different… Should I continue to pin?
Having excess testosterone is just as bad if not worse than low testosterone. I would stop injecting for now. You need to lower the T and HCG dosage at the very least once levels are lower.
No need to freak out. Your total T is 1672 ng/dl and mine is 2000 ng/dl. You aren’t going to die tomorrow. What’s your free T? I’m guessing it wasn’t tested?
Hi, my free T is at 4.1 pmol/L
My estridol is at 275 pmol/L
My DHEA-S is at 25.4 umol/L
What’s the normal range shown for free T?
And why do you think this is a problem? You’re taking T and HCG. What did you expect would happen?
A lot of people don’t feel different until they’ve taken the same amount of T on the same schedule for 6-8 weeks.
