150 injected once a week is my sweet spot anything over 160 is pimple town & boobie time without an AI

Feels best too but everyone is a little different

Gotta fish around for awhile took me a year to dial in

Hopefully the doc can work with you on that score of it

And if your doc doeant want to work with you, shop for a new doc that will. Don't quit your doc until you have had an appointment with the new doc. Tell the new guy what's going on. If he's willing to play ball hire him and fire the other guy.

Every 2 weeks is bullshit , never liked that. A guy I work with get sustanon 250 shots once a month. Says he's good for 2 weeks and feels like crap for two weeks. i told him he was crazy and to find another doctor.

When you say get 200mg every other Friday does that mean a doctor injecting you

or you pick up a 1ml vial of the 200mg and diy ?

I went through this with my doc. Tell him you can't afford to feel like crap every other week and need to split the dose. He won't argue.

Every other week is bullshit. Ask the doctor where the sweet spot is with your total test. Have him/her (please tell me your doctor is not a female) test you 2 weeks after a shot and then ask if that is really acceptable. Steady levels are what you're after and that's no way to do it.

I pay 1000

for 20 weeks @ 200 per week that includes HCG and an AI if I need it. Also includes pins... That's crazy.

That's a lot..I get mine at a men's health clinic they specialize in trt..it's 65 bucks per visit come with hcg and ai..best part is I can treat it like a primary doctor also and the doc keeps it super real! Awesome place.

This is an old post, but just wanted to add to it since it seems common for Doctor's to screw over patients like this when it comes to getting someone started on TRT. Here are my thoughts as far as options go.....

1) Tell your doctor what's happening. Show him a graph of cyp half-life and tell him how it correlates to how you feel. (i.e. give him/her the opportunity to do the right thing and not make the same mistake with the next guy)

2) Point out the inconvenience of office visits and ask to self-inject. If the doc is up for it, split the dose on your own and do weekly injections.

3) Ask the Dr. for a compounded cream. Note compounded not that crappy stuff at the pharmacy. You can get a 20% compounded cream that contains 200mg of test. Absorption won't be the same as IM, but you'll be able to dose daily and be at a more steady level.

Man 200 every 2 weeks is rough. I assuming you are being injected by either cypionate or enanthate and the half life on those esters is about 7 days. I would try and see if your doctor will let you self inject if not maybe you could look for another doctor. There is always the option of shopping online clinics but they can get a bit expensive.

I get 200mg test cyp weekly. Seems to work great. After about 6 months of it i had to get an a.i. from them because my estradiol was about 51. Also maybe try and find another clinic locally, one that suits your needs. I will tell you this I started at 100 a week then 150 a week and then moved up to 200 a week,but that was after a year and 3 labs later. They might just be trying to see how you react.
