Two months of that shitty Test level, gawd'dayum son!!!

Good to see that your hematocrit came down a bunch. You may have to stick to lower trt dose, or donate regularly, to keep that in check.

yup. It could also be my sleep apnea which I now have a cpap machine. Time will tell. I’m trying to convince the endo to go back on the same 100mg a week in order to rule out the sleep apnea of it happens again.

Oh, definitely. 100mg/week is a very reasonable dose.

I figured I should update this thread with what’s going on now. So the new endo I have is very slowly increasing my dosage. Currently I am only on 35mg per week. Here are my levels:

So this is where I sit right now on 45mg of test cyp. Endo doesn’t want to
go any higher.

My doctor wants to put me on the pellet. He says it would keep me at 1200-1300. Im happy with doing my own injections with UGL test. Been that way for four years or so.

So you guys are all using UL’s and doing it yourself? What are some of your numbers while cruising? I wouldn’t mind comparing notes.

I went with the doctor for TRT because it’s dirt cheap due to insurance. However I understand it’s hard to find an endo who will let your levels stay much higher in the reference range. I did it this way to have a fall back option. Haha

If I were you, I'd stay on the TRT dose through your Dr for the in between periods where you're not doing a cycle.

There are too many positives not to, especially how it's dirt cheap through insurance.

Can travel with it, insurance paid for bloodwork, you know it's 100% legit product, a Dr monitoring you...

There may come a time where that TRT dose isn't enough to hold onto gains that you've made. When that's the case, you can simply bump up your dude, abd drop back down in time before your next Dr appointment.

Me personally, I like to hang out between 800-900 when I self TRT. If I cruise, which I'm doing now, I'll stay around 1200.

I'm triggered by your use of capital letters. :32 (4):

I need my safe space and a therapist, provided by your tax dollars.
