Was put on TRT; Levels were approx. 190!
Was put on 200mg/1ml per week (Injection) was sticking 1x per week
1.5 years with injections, got me up to 900s, and other hormones in range. However, i started to develop GYNO in one breast. So I stopped the injections.
Been off TRT for 6 months, levels have dropped to 240s, shit mood, weight lose, sleep patterns, etc.
Hormone doctor is recommending TORCHE treatment over injections.
200mg TEST/25mg DHEA, split in half (100mg/12.5mg) taken 2x a day
Question- i was on 200mg/1ml injection weekly VS 1400mg TEST/175mg DHEA weekly.
Seems like a huge jump. What am i missing and any suggestions.
The E was in range, i keep a spreadsheet of all my counts and compute calculations. Per lab scale, E was in range. However, i think my body reacted to the E, different than the Norm?? I really don’t know.
AI? I did this for about 2 weeks and felt like death. Dropped E, I assume. I felt like I had the Flu-x3, with no Fever.
I getting back on TRT regardless. Just wondering the injection 200mg/1ml weekly or the Troche.
I will most likely drop my injection to 150mg/.75ml, if i continue the injections.
I did some reading on Troche and I still feel that I do not understand the dosage so I won’t comment on that. Studies show that T levels drop below range within 2-4 hours after missing a dose on Troche though - along with about 20% gum-related side effects. IMO this protocol is not the best option.
For your injection TRT regimen, splitting dosage and pinning every 3.5 days is usually the best protocol - as most users do this. This allows for a more stable mean test value, which also helps manage e to my understanding. If 200mg kept your T levels in the 900’s, maybe a slight dose reduction (150-175mg/wk) could help with sides.
IMO you should resume TRT injections at 150-175mg/wk with split dosages.
An in balance of prolactin, DHT, estrogen, testosterone is what triggers gyno. The once weekly injections see the largest fluctuations in hormones, a poor choice for someone prone to gyno.
Men tend to get gyno when coming off cycles at a time when their hormones are falling rapidly.
What you need are steady hormones, or more frequent injections. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a single experience of anyone on Troches.
