Hey guys! It's been a while but I'm back and back at it!
The last few years have been rough dealing with some health issues (Lupus,Thyroid, ect) but I am feeling like myself again after finding an amazing ARPN.
I've been dropping bf, weight, and actually able to lift and put on mass again like the old days!
I was wanting some insight:
One of the main things that she addressed was TRT.
My initial lab results for Testosterone (ng/dl) was 18!!!! ****ing crazy low and no wonder I felt like shit!
(I probably damaged my production after years of running EQ, Var, Deca, ect. OR I was self medicating the whole time without knowing)
This is my first time going a “clinical” route and was prescribed Cypionate .1- .2 ml bi weekly. In my experience, the half life is about a week so I quickly informed her I was taking 1x week .1ml.
Not that she would care much, but I bumped up to .2ml weekly. My body didn't seem to translate it much on the original prescribed dosage.
My last labs were done on 1/24 after being on Cyp for 4 months, and bumping up dosage to .2cc weekly for about a month.
They were as follows:
(For reference I'm a 29 yo female)
Test ng/dl: 48
Avg range bracket (12-82)
Free Test ng/dl: .43
Avg range bracket (.06-.92)
DHT: 201
Avg range bracket (99-360)
I am sitting pretty midline on all.
I have bloodwork coming up the end of this month. What are your suggestions?
Do you think the dosage change will be enough to tip the scales that drastically?
I'd like to stay on this dose or eventually more if my body allows… She's the type of ARPN that will hear me out and is supportive of female TRT.
Just wondering what other like minded perspectives are.
Should I back down until my next lab? (I'd rather not)
Or just maintain and see what the labs say? (And hope I'm not alarmingly high from a medical perspective)
I guess I'm just concerned considering how great I feel again.
Anyways, it's good to get on the forum again! Thanks for the support/input
