Week 3 on TRT and Already Time to Tweak the Protocol

Thanks for reading! To answer your question, I started taking everything at the same time, so I can’t isolate HCG.

100mg seems to be really good for most people. I was on 105mg/week and I hit 787 TT and FT of 15.5, which is 2.02%. But my E2 was 7.6 so I felt like dog shit. I decided to get my numbers to the top of the range, which is where I am now. But apparently a lot of people feel better with lower numbers, so I’m going to let things stabilize for 3-4 weeks, but after that I may start lowering my dose and see how I feel in comparison.

Awesome and thank you for your reply.

Good luck and again, I’ll be following along.

How many days after the injection did you get the labs done?

I inject Monday morning and Thursday afternoon. I usually always get labs done Thursdays between 10-11:30am.

Ok, awesome. Thanks for the info.

You’re welcome! You feel well equipped for your appointment tomorrow? Look forward to hearing about it

I have a lot of questions and concerns written down. She stated that she works with a lot of TRT patients and a lot of BBers that she just monitors bloods. So if feel if I have a concern after we get started, she’ll listen and hopefully adjust. I’ve been reading all day and it seems that most drs are open to go by how one feels rather than numbers. (Being it’s not way outrageous.) I’m a bit nervous, but I feel I’m ready.

Thank you and I’ll post up that night or after I arrive in Pensacola at the condo Saturday. Yes, a week off. haha Love it.

Another lab result - 1 week after previous labs. These were my doctor’s labs - for my first follow up appointment since starting TRT 13 weeks ago.

TT: 1142 [348 - 1197]
Free T: Unknown [6.8 - 21.5] - doc doesn’t think it’s important
E2: 19.6

Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, and RBC all barely out of range on the high side - gonna donate this weekend.

Awesome, thanks for posting up. I took my first shot of 100mg cypionate yesterday and will get labs in 4 weeks.

Are you doing a regular pint donation or double reds? My Hemoglobin was too high last time I tried to give double bloods. Ended up only giving the normal pint.

I asked to do a double red and plasma and I thought that’s what they were doing but the bastards did only single reds and plasma because they wanted my plasma and apparently you can’t do double red and plasma on the same day. From now on I’ll do double reds.
