Using More Than Your TRT Dr Prescribes?

I am prescribed 50mg twice a week (100mg a week) of Test cyp. I was wondering if anyone has “supplemented” the amount of test they get by adding more by buying from the gym or a friend etc…

And if so what did you do when it was getting close to doing your blood work. I am assuming you need to drop down to your prescribed dose so your Dr doesn’t recognize you’ve been “cheating”

Has anyone done this, if so could you recommend to me how much time i should give myself before my blood work is done.

If anyone is interested in knowing why i bother with TRT if i buy more then that, i like that my Doctor checks on me and can watch my levels. It was also my gateway from TRT to “bodybuidling” test, not by design but it happened.

Lots of guys do it. Some admit it, others don’t. You should give yourself a month of clearance time, not because it takes that long, but because it gives you a long enough space to be certain that your blood work from your doctor is accurately portraying your body’s reaction to treatment.

What is your SHBG?

I inject twice a week. Have a fairly high SHBG. (50) and I am able to wrangle my upper limit down into acceptable insurance standards in about 2 shots. . So… a week. the first time I did it, I lowered it for 3 shots and it worked. Next time I did 2 shots, worked as well.

Probably up the AI as well. You don’t want to much estrogen.

I have done this for the last 3 years(been on trt about 7) I up mine to 300 mg and also add another compound. I drop the 2nd compound 6 weeks before labs and drop back to trt dose 4 weeks before. Works for me but I must admit the last two weeks before my labs is tough due strength declines, recovery taking longer and losing some muscle.

Your dr is strict. My dr only comments on total test, e2 and hemocrit.

Thanks for all the advise everyone. I’ll make sure to give myself a month before my blood test

It’s the lab cut off thing. They’re in the 860 limit Stone Age.

I have high shbg, need like 1000+ to feel good.

I think a few guys have done this… a few times… LOL

If it’s high… one option is to run proviron along with your regular TRT dose. You’ll enjoy that
