Just doing home dosed testosterone cypionate. And go back to my doc when she tells me to to recheck levels.

Any of you guys, docs, or families have any negative outcomes? Or percentages of DVTs PEs etc?

Most research I’ve read or seen on YouTube is biased. Selling you Test or selling you supplements.

If someone could just link me to some boring stats and facts about outcomes. That’s basically what I am looking for.

Also my number is 340 in total T. Do not know free test level. Just looking to feel normal again. Not looking to be super human. Not looking to gain traps that start at my ears.

i mean the scar tissue sucks after a couple years if doing IM and doing subq the bruising that sometimes happens can suck

but as far as health wise.....if you are in the area of correct levels for your AGE GROUP then you should have only improvements.

you will need to watch estrogen levels but again if you are in range for your age group....you should be fine.

we want total T to be in the upper half for our age group and we want Free T to be at the very top of the range, unless you have underlying health issues that would make that an issue.



Also for the Record goodrx is whom i have found to be the best price, cheaper than with insurance. Walgreens will do 3- 10ml vials for under 100 for goodrx.

with insurance before deductable kicks in i was paying that for 1 vial and now with my copay insurance its still like 60+ per.

also you need to start lifting. lifting weights in a progressive and intellegent manner is going to be the biggest thing outside of the hormone levels and sleep to get you feeling younger again.

If your level is within range, you should not have any issues with both. Mine was high for a while so I went donate blood and decreased my dose.

My doc mentioned this as well.

How long would any of you guys say I should notice anything? I’ve heard from 3 months to morning wood the next day being mentioned.

Just want to feel normal again. Worn out all the time, napping more than ever, erratic night time sleep, went from a gym rat to NEVER wanting to go.

So if I’m pretty jacked right now and my test is around the bottom in free and total, how much more manly will I become?

Yes, watch your ankles while drinking a lot around the 4th of July. Two years ago I took a huge dose before taking a 2 week vacation from Texas heat into Wisconsin and drank like a freshmen during rush week which made my ankles balloon up to the size of grapefruits. My wife, sister and mother are all nurses so they pointed out how huge they swelled up. Just make sure to drink a lot of water.

yes hematocrit levels get a little high but not really out of range. i donate blood as often as possible and this takes care of that.

my hematocrit levels are no worse than the normal guy in high elevations i would imagine. they stay within range, just he top of it.

All good responses here. Only thing I can add is rotate injection sites to avoid scar tissue issues. I am a regular blood donor now and Good Rx customer as well.

Depending on how much you’re gonna be taking, you’ll likely put on about 5# of water weight pretty quickly. Are you going to be taking Anastrozole or another anti estrogen? Any HCG?

If needed.

My understanding was if I remain at mid normal range I shouldn't need it.

In your case, you'll grow a giant set of hairy elephant balls but your dick will stay the size of a chickpea.
