I'm Scared to Death of TRT

So, help me out here with some injection math. I’m doing 150 in 2 doses a week. I do monday and Thursday mornings. One injection lasts 4 days and the only downside I notice is fatigue on Sunday’s.

I want to move to a strict every 3 day schedule. My problem is figuring out the precise mg dose to get 150 a week. Some weeks have 3 injections and most have 2. My closest guess is maybe 30-32cc?

Any suggestions on the math?

150/7=21.4 mg per day

21.4X3=64.2 mg ever 3d

Or 75 mg e 3.5 days. Easiest. Since you inject same day every week. Like Monday morning and Thursday PM.

For 64 mg - So if your testosterone strength is 200mg per 1ml you would

1ml=1cc=100 units=200mg

.01 cc = .01ml=1 unit=2mg
**Syringes usually have units. **
1unit=2mg
So 32 units = 64mg

Which I think you were right just got the place value wrong. You said 30-32 cc but it’s actually .32cc or .32 ml or 32 units. This will all change if the strength of your testosterone is not 1ml /200mg.

Ok Mr Stud, here’s what happened. 8 weeks in on TRT, labido great, erections were great until today. It is now soft WHEN time to perform with the wife. All day before that event iv had powerful arousing erections and interest for her.

Here’s the recent change. I switched protocol slightly. Instead of waiting the typical 4 day distance from Thursday injection I decided to inject Sunday. A full day before my typical Monday injection. I’m trying a strict e3d system.
Before protocol change up, I typically got best results the day after injection.

Got new protocol in injecting .32cc instead of .38cc to account for the odd injection landings per week.

Did I fuck up my erections doing that?

Please help. This is freaking me out.

I doubt it. Honestly, it sounds a little more mental to me. It still happens to me occasionally. We get all psyched up for sex then when its time, our brains take over and we can’t perform. If you’re able to have erections, then there isn’t a physical issue, pretty much just mental. I would try not to plan sex and rely more on spontaneity.

Plus, the more you worry about it, the more it happens.

Yeah my wife said the same thing. I think I guess it still has me sort of worried because after she went to bed I decided to test the waters and see if it really was a mental issue by trying to masturbate to porn. Not even with porn would it get hard. So I don’t know maybe mental is part of it or all of it I just don’t know. I got a script this morning for Cialis so we’ll see what happens I guess

That will probably give you the confidence you need. Pharmacy grade Cialis is pretty expensive.

Ain’t that the truth.

8 pills for $60. :confused:
Ill just take 1/4 of the 20mg pill when needed.

That happened to me when e2 was low. It was very depressing for me

I’m not sure how wildly e2 fluctuates between and on injection days. Last blood test morning before next injection it was at 56. So I dunno. I have noticed labido and erection changes between each injection though. I just changed injection freq to a strict 3 day interval instead of twice a week.

I really don’t wanna touch an AI again either but I didn’t have a whole lot of ED whole on an AI either. Was just always tired.

Things take time to stabilize. Cialis use is good while you wait. I actually still take it everyday 5mg. I got it approved. Insurance covers.

Possibly. I’m having Ed issues today still. :/. So I dunno honestly.

With insurance what’s your copay?

My urologist filled out a form the insurance company required for Cialis. It states I have bph.
So Cialis makes a generic now so I pay $10 a month.

Cialis has many heart benefits and cardio. And lowers my blood pressure. And best part I require almost no foreplay.

@luidox33 another plan is getting 20mg sildenafil . Use goodRX. Pretty cheap. 60 tablets cost $20 at Costco. Sildenafil same as Viagra.
You can take 1 in the am 1 at night. Try to keep stable level. Less sides. Or take 40 mg as needed. Usual 20 helped as needed to.

Thank you so much. Ill have to go Costco route. Given my age I don’t see my doc approving cialis. :frowning:

That’s with no insurance at Costco but need to use goodRX for good price. Insurance knows why we want sildenafil and require a special form usually. But it’s cheap with no insurance
And I really don’t have bph :wink:

@luidox33 wait a sec. Being Cialis has generic now looks like you can get 90 pills of 5 mg Cialis for about $125. That’s for 3 months. Not bad.

Just looked in goodRX.

Remember Cialis half life is 18 hours. Long.

I need to read up on how this goodrx works. Never used it. Not sure if I print something out or what

Download the app.

You just give them the group number , bin etc that comes up when you click on Costco. I’ve used it. You can give it to them over phone so when you go in it’s all set. They can confirm price right over phone.

Sometimes goodRX Price is less than my copay. So in those cases I tell pharmacy not to use my insurance

Btw am just slightly older than you. Am 42.

But you need a prescription every time right??

How long on trt?
