Recommendation on TRT cycle

[canesmvp]

52 years old. 6'2-240.
Total testosterone is very low 197ng/dl
Totally shut down now after years of gear usage. Needs help getting back on track. Doctor cleared me for TRT.

Looking for recommendations on a test cycle to get my levels up. I see many docs like cypionate but I've always preferred enanthate.

Any other cycle recommendations or HRT?

Appreciate Brother!
Cheers!

You are either on a cycle or on HRT.
I can't tell no difference between cyp or ethan.
How do you tell the difference?

If your doctor cleared you, will he not put you on HRT?

Follow docs orders for a few months and see how it goes.

Alot of guys are now doing daily sub-q shots of test E or C, between 10-20mg per day. That sounds like too many pins for me but the guys doing it swear by the daily injections, supposedly keeps estrogen in check .

Never been on HRT. Used to feel more bloated with using cyp in the past. He is a cardiologist and doesn't like to prescribe certain meds but cleared me to go for it.

Anything over 500mgs creates a ton of estrogen in me , so I break it into 3 shots of 200wk

My urologist has me on 200t c a week. This keeps me in the 1100 range. I recently changed to daily sub q 30mg and it keeps my estrogen in check. If I change to IM I have to increase Nolvadex to keep my gyno in check

I’ve been on the same dose for the last year. I do run mast e daily sub q as well at 30mg.
Loading 7 insulin pins does suck but Im having better results on daily.

Waiting on new doc's feedback.. will share his rec...

"TRT" "Cycle" : .1-.3cc test 250 eod

"TRT" "Blast" : .1-.3cc test 250 eod

Like Morgan says you're either on cycle or you're on TRT

To the original poster: do what your doc says for now. he will likely prescribe 100/week of cypionate. He will likely not let you choose your own dosage or ester. from there, he will likely test your bloodwork to check for high estrogen, hemocrit, red blood cell count, etc.

Think about it. You got a good deal going now, esp if your insurance covers your cypionate. If you add anything to it, such as dbol, or additional black market testosterone, etc, your doc may test your bloods and decide TRT is too risky, i.e. if your hemocrit levels are high (which can lead to stroke).

play it cool for now, you dont wanna shake that tree. Enjoy your pharmacy-grade testosterone. you may not ever need to take anything else. Think about it: youre 52, likely not gonna be entering the Olympia any time soon, and your chances of being a professional athlete are nil. Enjoy your "gift."

Just my opinion.

agree with your feedback! Just maintaining and following the orders...

No, stick to the HRT for now. Reassess in a few months, maybe.

If u get a script and then add shit in while ur trying to figure out what dose puts u where ur just gonna mess up what u can get prescribed. Wait at least six months before messing with it and then make sure ur back to ur prescribed dose plenty in time before doing annual/semi annual labs.

good deal. let us know what your doctor prescribes. im curious, myself.

 

[canesmvp]

Update - Got another round of lab work and Doc reviewed and approved TRT - cyp - 200mg wk
Just sticking with the TRT - bio-identical cyp injections vs pellet therapy which is also offered.

How are things going ?
My trt is 130 every 4 days but it took about a year and a half or so of slowly adding every 3 months.
Now I'm off and trying to have another kid. My levels are 85... how I miss feeling normal

I have an insane work schedule so sometime it's 3 times a week and sometimes everyday. I feel better mentally and have less sides when it's ed

Are you doing sub-q injections?

Are you doing sub-q injections?

Yep, subq I have not had to run any Ai the last 3 years. My average work week is 60+ hours and for a few months a year I work close to 100 hours a week.
