Two things have recently converged to provide me with a lot of test. I have been on TRT for over a decade. Usually take like 80mg/week, but I did up that to 100mg/week while I cut down from 235 to 190. That happened over about 3 months and I was worried about losing too much muscle. Not that I had a ton to start with.
My insurance recently changed and I had to get a new PCP. She wants me to switch to Jatenzo (which I am getting for free). At the same time, my new insurance shipped me 3 months of cypionate and I have another 3 months worth that I could go pick up today from CVS for $70 out of pocket (prescribed by my previous PCP). I’m going to switch to the Jatenzo for 8 weeks and then do blood work to see how it goes. After that, I won’t have to do blood work for at least 6 months to year. I was thinking about trying to add some muscle back rather quickly after the 8 weeks on Jatenzo. Is there a decent, relatively safe way to go about using all this test to accomplish that? I’m already bald and snipped, so neither of those is a concern. My BP is well controlled on meds. Cholesterol is a bit high, but the HDL to LDL ration is good.
I’ve attached my labs from a couple of weeks ago (when I was still taking 100mg/week). As a side note, I use a 25g 5/8" needle to inject into my thighs. Seems to be working.
