Splitting cyp dosage

[Buzzard]

Without updating everyone with my story, I'd like to get some dosage/frequency advice. I'm getting HRT from my doc at 200mg/E14D. I'm going to add my own for a few weeks to get the total dose up to 200mg/E7D. It's my opinion that keeping hormone levels steady are more important with HRT than when running a cycle. Just because while on cycle, your t levels are way high, so some fluctuation isn't as detrimental as with the 'normal' range that HRT is trying to keep you at.

Anyway... Say I get pinned 200mg/EO Monday, should I pin my own on the off Monday/Thursday (100mg each)?

My hopes are for him to up my dose to 200/EW and let me do it at home. That would make splitting the dose and upping to 500mg/week much easier.

yes, two injections weekly is best.

most docs are not going to Rx that much test, might want to find another source.

Understood, but in my situation getting 200mg on Monday, I was thinking running my own 100mg on the following Sunday and Thursday?

I have my own source in line...

Thanks

I'm on TRT and my T level is double the normal upper range when tested at my trough on 200 gm T-cyp a week with a little bit of AI. 100 mg/wk will probably do it for most guys. If you want the test in the slightly supraphysiologic and fairly stable range 100 mg 2x a week will do it. Weird thing is if you go under 100 mg most guys come up really low. There's a break through dose around 100 mg/w.

I see no reason to do more than 2 injections weekly, so whatever you are going to run per week divide it by two, so if that is 400mg weekly then do two 200mg injections.

I actually do my HRT at 60mg e3 days. No matter when I test my levels are always about 700. I am actually prescribed 200mg once a week. If I do that, 5 days after injection I am in the 1100's. At 100mg once a week 5 days after injection I am in the 600's.

what I suggest to you is to have your levels check the same day of your shot, but before the shot. You will be in the low range. If he suggests just increasing the dose every two weeks, tell him you have done some research that shows once weekly is better and ask if you can do it as t home, as you have a friend who is a nurse who will do them for you or some BS like that. If he does go for 200mg ew at home, just shoot 100mg and get tested a week later as 200mg might put you too high and have him cut you back.

I will tell you though that true HRT is up to 1000ng/dl and to have estrodiol under control. Anything higher than that is not for health reasons and I can not condone higher levels for health. Over time testosterone levels in excess off 1000-1100 with estrodiol elevated as well way may present health risks.

Well I have been on for 12 weeks (5 shots + Monday's shot). The doc is doing blood work before giving me a shot. Based on what I've read on this dose/frequency, my t level may be as low or lower than previous (231). I'm actually hoping so he'll up my dose... I'm also running HCG & aromasin at .25mg/EOD. My E2 was 45.

My previous question was... Would it benefit me to dose as follows:

Week 1(Monday): 200mg (from doc)
Week2 (Sunday): 100mg (mine)
Week2 (Wednesday) 100mg (mine)

And so on...

dude, i went through all that same shit with my doctor. she would up the dose, then lower the dose, ect., ect. i got aggrivated and started seeing a new doctor. same shit. it's a big pain in the ass. having to try to manipulate the doctors, get your t level up to get gains in the gym, then let it crash to beat your bloodtest and all that shit. i finally just said fuck it. i'm not going to have my t level checked at the doc anymore. i have a good source, so i'm just going to not deal with the doctors anymore. i know the ugl stuff isn't as clean and strong as what the doc gives you, but the price is right and there is no hassle.
