Expert advise & data

[Buzzard]

My HRT is Test Cyp. at 200mg/E14D. I've been receiving this dose since 1/25 (5 injections). I'll be getting blood work ran on 4/5 to see 'where we are at'.

My goal is to get the doc to let me pin at home. Sure, increasing the dose is preferable, but just letting me dose 100mg/E7D at home would be fine with me.

So, if you happen do have data backing this request, please post it. I know I've seen/read it before, but I can't find it now and I don't really have access right now to look online or search here. Heavyiron posted a graph a while showing levels on 200mg Test Cyp over 14 days, but I can't find that either.

I just want as much data to back my argument... Anything to contribute is much appreciated.

100mg weekly will be too low, your T levels will be barely baseline for sure.

100mg of test cyp per week is not necessarily too low. 100mg of test cyp once weekly puts me around the 600ng/dl or a little higher at 5 days post injection. Every one will respond differently. The key to geting the right doing is to get blood work done on the day of shot before the injection when your levels will be at the lowest.

My goal in getting 100mg/week dose at home isn't really so much about the dose, but more about the frequency. I'm certainly going argue upping the dose, but my main concern is increasing the frequency and doing it at home. This will make it easier for meto pin 2X/week and it will be easier to up doses to blast. My next set of labs will be on 4/5 (14 days after my yesterday's 200mg dose).

Thanks for the in put

My endo has me on 200mgs test cyp EW, to keep me at baseline. Done at home, just let him know that its a major hassle to go to the doc every week, or even every other week to get a damn shot. He can still control your dosage by limiting your script. It just sounds more logical to do it yourself, unless hes just trying to collect off of your doctor visit every time you get a shot.

Yes... $25 co pay. But I wonder how much the script will be with insurance? So basically, I'm paying $250 for a 10mL bottle of test cyp. Well... Maybe a little less because of the cost of the pin & labor. If I can just get him to give 200/EW and let me do it at home... It'll smooth sailing.

Thanks... I'm looking forward to a blast at somewhere between 300-600/EW... The difference between 125 & 300 is huge.

Yes, testosterone is proven to be dose dependant. The more you use the more it works as far as increased fat free mass, muscle strength, muscle power, muscle volume, hemoglobin and IGF-1.
