Starting TRT - Newbie

Hi all,

so im starting TRT via a uk clinic and they have prescribed test e 250mg/ml at 50mg x 2 week + 500iu HCG x 2 week. I’ve opted for sub q which they said wont be an issue as most of their patients do this. I did try IM sustanon for a short period years ago but it gave me really bad estrogen sides.

I’ve since read that castor oil should not be used for sub q due to it being a thick oil.

Has anyone done sub q of test e and got on with it?

Any tips?

I don’t know why im worrying so much about this as so many people do it.

Thanks in advance!

Your plan is fine. You’re over thinking it. Give it a shot and adjust dosages as necessary on follow up labs.

Thanks man. Would it be ok to get dialled in on the Test first before adding HCG? Typically how long does it take to get stable, like 8 weeks?
I tried sustanon 250 years ago with HCG and it was an awful rollercoaster

Cheers

Sustanon is crap. Test E should be easier to manage. The idea behind Sust was decent but the multiple esters can be a nightmare for some. Personally, I don’t see a need for hCG at all. I never felt well on it. I would use test only and dial yourself in on that. Takes about 4 weeks to start feeling it.

Thanks man appreciate it.

Hoping it will be a different story on the test e for me.

Yeah I hear you. Planning on another child some point in future so will probably try add it in after a few months unless it makes me feel worse like it did with you.

You don’t need it until you’re ready to start trying. Then you just add a fertility protocol to your TRT during the “try period”.

Ok man good to know thanks
