re: TRT Dosing

I'm 43 with total test in the low 400s. I understand that obviously everyone is different but I'm just curious of dosing from some of you that have been on it. Going through my urology clinic, they don't sound like they are going to go higher than 100 mg (sub q) per month. Wondering what some of y'all's levels were/are and what kind of dose it took to achieve it.

your doctor is a fricking idiot if he is saying once a month injection. Does he not understand half life?

he is an even bigger idiot for putting you on test for levels in the 400s. Especially if he did not address lifestyle and diet first and retest multiple times. Why did he tell you that you need it? and what are your free test levels like.

you should run and find a new doctor...like now.


but to answer your question

optimal is 2x dosing a week. you just split the dose.

your dose should start at 100mg per week subq and access from there. at 43 you will want to be somewhere in the 700-900 range. you do not want to be at the top of the range now anything below that is kind of a waste if you were feeling bad with levels in the 400s.

overall dose stays the same, you are just splitting the dose due to half life.


and yes i prefer to use insulin needles and do subq. over course i have been on for 6 years now and had to do everyday HCG shots for a year prior to that for the fertility treatment i did. Currently i am injecting into quads just because i was getting bruising in the stomach from doing subq for so long without a break.

that is two good articles discussing the benifits of subq over IM. plus its painless if done with a 27 or 29g needle




some of you guys would be much better off getting the shite off the black market the way many of you are being treated. for fricks sake.
