Supplementing TRT with more Test E

[T-Rex]

Hi guys currently on 150mg Test E a week from doc and have bumped it up to 250mg a week I have to do bloods every 3 months was worried Test level will be too high and will get scaled back to a lower dose , can I lower the dose a week before bloods to be back to normal ? Cheers in advance

That sounds like what I used to do when I was getting TRT prescribed. My doctor would ask for bloodwork every 6 months (I used to get 6 month prescriptions). I had to take 250mg every 10 days, so I used to take 250mg every 5 days (double his prescription, with my own gear). When it came close to my bloodwork, I would cut back down to his original dosage levels 2 months before my actual blood test. This used to work for me.

Based on your situation, 1 week wouldn't be enough time to adjust your levels. I think reduce your dosage back to the original (150mg a week) about 3 to 4 weeks before your blood test. This will allow your hormone levels to stabilise to the desired levels. Honestly, even if your levels are slightly higher than the target, it may not make a significant difference to your doctor. Once you get your first test done you can then use those results to determine your timing for next time.

They want me to do bloods every 3 months on prescribed TRT…Ramping it up straight after the bloods might be the go then back it off 4 weeks before the next test …See how I go

Yeah that's the best bet... I think you'll be very safe if you drop off 4 weeks before.

I had a mate who used to do pretty much the same thing it worked for him as well!

Couple cc's of prop then drop it off before upcoming tests perhaps

Sus 250 takes a month so 3 weeks should work. Missing sleep and food prior usually drops levels which are highest in morning

Going to be interesting when I do bloods , will keep posted

How did the 4 weeks go? I’m starting on Dr prescribed 100mg per week. Feels too low, crash after a couple of days. Thinking of sourcing my own supply and topping up.

Skipped the bloods and took holiday to thailand , have to do bloods when I get home in 10 days , dropped the AI completely using 175mg test e a week wed/sat will be interesting to see the results 4 months in

I had prescription TRT before. What they prescribe isn't enough.

I use to keep the ones from the chemist until I had enough for a full cycle and use my own source for the TRT period. But had to taper off each time I had to do bloods.

My sweet spot was 250mg a week (split twice a week).

Thanks, yeah I got my own top up supply and started on 250mg this week, can feel the difference already. Will stay on this dose, tapering for bloods and getting the Dr to review.

My doc gives me 175mg Test E per week pin twice a week not taking any AI and just sitting below the headaches of using more , will do bloods in 3 weeks time and post results will be interesting to see results

Just to update, had my 3 monthly blood test and passed in the normal range.

In the end I did up an excel sheet to calculate how much Test E I’d have in my system from
all my doses, assuming a half life of 5 days. Stopped taking for 12 days, which equated to the prescribed amount in my system, and then did my test, all fine.

Get independent bloods at 150 and 250.

250 is my cruise.

I've seen ****s pull double my numbers on the same dose.

We all respond differently.

how was your blood results? @T-Rex

 

[T-Rex]

Done my bloods my prostate count went up a bit but still in the normal range I’m using about 200mg a week Test E , My test count was around 1200 mark

 

[elpatron]

Ok, so it came in a bit high then. What did the Dr say? With his original prescription of 150mg a week he'd be wanting to see mid-to-upper 600-900 range.

I am scripted from a trt clinic and on 150mg test c per week

My free test went from 109 pmol/l
To 1285 pmol/l in 10wks

My clinic wasn't concerned at all

Everyone's body reacts different to the same volume and a good clinic should be asking about side effects and how you feel not putting you in a range
