Should I Start a Cycle or Stick to TRT?

I mean, we can get a good picture of the Area Under Curve (AUC) by testing at both peak and trough - I’m kind of surprised this isn’t more common practice but maybe it’s just unnecessary.

Decent estimate of mean TT from either peak or trough with this table assuming test cypionate/enanthate:

Would have to redo with test propionate.

Would it be a bad idea to start a cycle with a chronic mental health condition?

9 times out of 10 I’d say yes, bad idea. In your case, you are on TRT anyway (like, real TRT from a doctor, not home-made TRT, right?).

If you wanted to test the waters I’d say just up your test dose in small increments and see how you feel.

home-made TRT

Is that 200 test / 300 mast?

Thanks i laughed out loud on that.

Yeah I’m starting to think it could potentially mess up my mental health. I’m sticking with the TRT (I have a prescription).

I wasn’t aware that could happen. I was basically feeling pretty good on TRT so I just thought more testosterone would make me feel even better. However, this doesn’t seem like the case as I did some research which explains how it could have negative effects on mental health. Thank you for your reply. I will skip the cycle and stay with TRT.
