Thread: testosterone cypionate

Why is Dr giving you 400 mg per week ? I am assuming your cyp is 200 mg/ml?

yeah, most TRT docs won't go over 200mg per week.

to answer your question, yes adding Deca will help, especially with joint lubrication, that is what I use Cyp & Deca.

For 10 weeks he had me at 200 and after talking with him he boosted me to 400mg per week and then also gave me Nolvadex as an anti estrogen.

Lucky you, I cant get an asprin off my doc.

If I ever need TRT - I'm going to the OP's doctor.

Hell- I would ask for a few more jus. The insuranse is probably paying so " why not " ? Great doctor

BS. He is risking his license by doing that. I've never heard of one going that high

I'm trying to figure out the Nolva... Does anyone use it as an AI?

As long as he has back up blood work etc, he is not a risk. Every 20 weeks I have a complete blood workup to see what all my levels are.

Currently the use nowdays for men is getting more frequent than in past. For years women recieved Hormone replacment like candy! Men it has always been taboo.

I like to keep my T level between 800 to 1000 is where I feel the best.

And yes my insurance pays for it.

Clinical name is tamoxifen is a substitute for nolvadex 10mg

you either have a very liberal doc or he is not very educated in TRT, first off I cannot believe he bumped you to 400mg/week, that is unheard of for TRT, second that he prescribed you Nolva?

+1.

I have a liberal doctor and the prescrption is written under tamoxifen not Nolvadex. It has only been this past year he was able to right a prescrption for tamoxifen.

He actually has been one doing research on TRT for over 10 years and fighting with insurance company's to accept injectable versus creams etc.

There are several BB in my area that of course use him. All of us are over 40 and being 47 it is a little easier than say a 20 year old.

Dude you have hit the jackpot!

Are you test levels really between 800-1000 on 400mg pw? Im no expert but I thought they would be higher on that dose.

It could. Deca lubes the joints and for me, makes all of my joint more comfortable.

I understand this... I don't understand prescribing tomoxifen for an AI. I mean, if he's prescribing T @ 400mg/EW, why not prescribe exemestane (aromasin) or anastrozole (Arimidex) for AI?

And you do know to not use Nolva with Deca, right?

I go back to the Dr this week for another prescrption and it is time for blood work again. So maybe it will be higher, that was what it was last time.

Yea I am not complaining. The only issue i really have is because the gains have been crazy. Bench 4 months ago 185, and now 340 for 6 reps! Getting elbo pain, my budy said I need to start stacking and get on deca so that is my next course of action.

No, but thanks! I do not know why he prescribed the other I am thinking because i asked for one. also that is what I have read you should take. I am a newbeeeeeee! This is my first time taking anything.

Just out of curiosity- what brand ( manufacture) of cyp are you using ?

I would do some research on AI's bud, there are much better choices out there than Nolva. I never even really heard of it being used as an AI.

Good dose ? For what ? HRT or ? Your size- age- etc-etc ? You would need to clarify more and you will get several opinions- but all good info.
