Self Medicating TRT

100mg/wk brings me to dead middle in the range. You may wish to get bloods done periodically to ensure no issues brewing. My doc sends me once per year
 
I'm prescribed 120mg cypionate every two weeks lol. I'm not following that bullshit dose and injecting 125mg every week instead, I stick with the urologist solely for the blood test.
All the best! By the way a urologist will see right through this one. They are not foolish they know what to look for and this is straight from the horses' mouth :)

Thanks. I'm backing down on every scheduled test, been on a year now no problem so far except stopping it last March due to high Hemoglobin and hematocrit for the first time.
 
I'm wondering not only the dose you take but the levels it brings your t too?
I don't get test tested cause I don't wanna get a reading that shows I'm taking something. So I opt out on the test and estro and just get the reading on other things.
I figured by reading in the past everyone listed they were taking 200-250mg(different forum from like 7-8yrs ago) and I knew that would be high but I figured maybe like blood levels reaching 1200-1300 high, but reading that one post on here I could be wrong cause it was yesterday but someone said 125 or 140mg brought his blood reading to 1100?
Maybe I could cool it down a bit from even 175 then. Cause I do 150 if I'm adding something to it like DHB or deca I'll go 150 and 150 or if I'm not active in the gym and I'll bring it up to 200 if I'm doing a small blast of like 200 test and 300 deca, then 175 if I'm cooling down from a small blast or adding a small boost on my cruise.

Everyone reacts different. One persons baseline can differ significantly from another’s. The only real way to know your true numbers on the amount is to get blood work done.

It only gets noted as using an exogenous substance if your levels are above 1500 right?
 
I have no clue what labs do for markings and high amounts. Your report would just show your level as high or “over the marking level”
Yea like what is considered high or over the marking level..... I heard since testing for steroids is too expensive what they do in sports is they test your testosterone levels and as long as it's below 1500 they don't look any first into your ped use
 
Low to high is a range roughly from 150-950. Don’t quote me on the exact numbers. No place you are going to get bloods done ie lifelabs etc gives any care to what your numbers are. They just report it on the lab report and send it to the dr or nurse etc who requested it.
 
I do at 125mg a week. does anyone buy from U.S. labs? I have been looking for a good lad that is dependable, even a one that will ship to U.S.
 
I do it because it helps me focus and grind better than my adhd medications. All the other benefits are a massive bonus too.

I've been blasting more than I've been doing trt, so that part isn't exactly dialed yet 😅 it'll probably land somewhere around 200mg/week or lower with primo and or hcg. Maybe 5mgs a day of anavar if I can get away with it. Fuck I love anavar.

Your post resonated with me, b/c I too take meds for ADD. The one thing I've noticed is that on a lower (trt) dose my anxiety is too high. For quite a while I ran 54mg e3.5d, but I'm now around 65-70mg e3.5 and my concentration has improved considerably. From experience, I know I can get used to a lower dose, but there's always sacrifices. For example, I have to keep my E2 in check, and it's a relatively narrow channel. From experience I have found that higher test will give me more flexibility wrt to E2.
By no means am I suggesting that I'm on a high dose, but along with ADD I am a high responder, and if you think about it the diff between 140 and 105mg is 33%, that's not a small %. For whatever reason I struggle to run more than 20mg of primo/wk on anything below 130mg. It is that effective in lowering my shbg, and that small bit of dht will suppress my E2 dramatically.

That was somewhat convoluted, but basically, I function far better on a trt dose that is a bit high according to the endocrinological recommended margins, and I believe some of that has to do with my ADD. I'm in my seventh year on trt, and it's taken a lot of trial and error, a lot of emotional wear and tear, and a lot of sacrifices to get to a point where I feel good, and my ADD and anxiety issues aren't causing me to overthink or over-react. Oh yeah, I love anavar too, but recently a buddy gave me a fistful of dbol, and I only took it twice, but damn I forgot how that hard that drug kicks. Gotta love methylated test. lol

I think you should re-read to the forum rules, specifically points 18 and 19. And, if you haven't, please confirm after reading the rules.
Thanks.

Sounds like so much bullshit, underdosing you and cutting you off based on a test that drinking 2 Litres of water before doing would change entirely. Fuck me they seem so useless why on earth be so ridiculous about trt when all the studys and clinics have so much usefull data and protocols

Why would they be so stingy with the doses? Wouldn't a silly dose of 125 cyp every two weeks just keep you at female levels anyway?
