I am already 10wk into TRT. Prior to TRT my TT was in the 300’s and FT was 9.5. I am only doing 200mg/week Test Cyp split into 2 doses. AI as needed, but i only used it once 0.25mg. I feel most of the symptoms that made me try TRT are gone such as brain fog, libido, energy and body recomposition have improved by 80%. Not having side effects but could be i am still in the honeymoon stage.
After reading numerous times online 200mg/wk is considered a mini cycle left me surprised to see my TT is 955 at through with 200mg/week. I was expecting more 1200-1400+ range. Could it be i metabolize Test quick and 200mg is my ideal dose even though most people take 100-150mg? Also, it makes me wonder if 250mg/week might place me more in the 1000-1200 range?
I understand everybody reacts different. The TRT i use is from a popular reputable source. I also understand my TT is higher than 955 at peak.
A lot of men want to be at the top end or higher, not every man was built for high testosterone. How you can tell is if they start having problems several months down the road, like loss of libido and sexual function may be indicators of excessive androgens.
As for wanting to be at 1200 ng/dL, you’re most likely near that or higher at peak.
Those are solid numbers. Also depends on when you get labs done relative to your last shot. For me on 250mg test injecting every 3.5 days right before my next shot my total T was 550. 1.5 days after shot on 200mg I came back at 880. Typically for every 100mg you take your T should be up 500 points till a certain point.
