How much Test to run for TRT?

[matrix23k]

Aim planning to run 50mg of test a week for TRT (testosterone replacement therapy ) I do not have a access to Androgel and is so expensive to run. So my question is will 50mg of test shot me down? if so how much of test should I run not to suppress my natural production ?

Just 50mg of test a week will shut you down......if you run test you will suppress your own!

if your on trt you must already be suppressed. your blood work will determine what you need. unless this is not under a doctors care.

The standard dose runs between 100MG a week to 200 mg every other it all depends on your Doctors recommendations.
SO I would redirect the Op to your primary Doc.

yes 200mgs is the base line on HRT!!!

WHY DONT YOU LET AN ENDO READ YOUR RESULTS AND HELP WITH A SCRIPT IF NEEDED.

I am on HRT, and I run 150mg a week. This puts me at the top of normal range when I do a blood test.

Brah,, any amount of test will shut down your natural production... You have to make that judgement yourself! Do you realy want to take that step and have to inject yourself for life!!

For me I'm trying to avoid that, but I will if I have too....

For me,, 150mg-200mg every 10 days and your blood serum levels will be in the upper range! Mood, stamina, energy, and libido will all be notably better!!

so why doc prescribe to patients with low testosterone Androgel 5mg ED?

 

[Trainwreck80]

50mg of test will not shut you down completely, just somewhat. 100mg over a long period of time will shut you down completely. 50mg is a waste of time. Any doc that knows what they are doing will start you off with 100mg a week and go from there. Most only need between 100 and 150mg. Some use more but also have real high test levels. Most don't need more than that to stay within range. Find a new doc that is experienced with HRT and you will be much happier in the long run. HRT is for life, some come off but don't start it thinking you will ever come off test.

yes 200mgs is the base line on HRT!!!

This is false, Test dose depends on the individual.

If your under a Dr care, I don't want to over-ride his advice to you!

Alot of good advice has already been posted in this thread! I can only add/validate/maybe clarify what others have already said!

Having said that, typically TRT dose of 100mg-200mg/wk of Test cyp will net out ~800 on blood tests which is where you would want it to be.

Yor endogenious (bodies own) T production is either already shut down or partially shut down! That being the case corrective action would be to provide your body with the proper dose of exogenious (or external) T.

Given that scenerio, shutting yourself down would no longer be a consideration!

Typically 50mg of Test is too low for most but as others have stated, "every1 is different"!

If you decide to up your T dose to ~100mg-200mg/wk, make sure you take something like 'Clomid' (anti E) to offset any sides and keep some Adex on hand, in case you need to fortify the clomid.

You might read the 'Dr G' posts regarding TRT, in main forums?

First 50mg won't do SHIT for you. Secondly, get your blood work done, get a physical from your doctor. Go to an ENDO who happens to the a "SPECIALIST" in this area and not some guy from an online forum w their own untrained recommendations. Not saying that's a bad idea but "MOST" people including me are NOT professionally trained doctors, user's yes, experience YES.

Everyone's body is different, what works for others may not work for you and so on and so forth. It's your body, its ONLY yours so you have to adjust for what works BEST for you.

TRT is a serious issue and you should be monitored by a doctor, personally I don't like creams those shit suck in my opinion, nothing better than doing an Injection. Don't be your own "test monkey" seeing what will or won't work w you without some "PROFESSIONAL" guidance. Good luck!

Run however much your doctor tells you that you need based on your blood tests.

There is a lot of misinformation in this thread. 200mg is not TRT dosage at all. Most men no matter what size will have total test levels over 1300 with 200mg a week which is way out of normal range and will also spike your E2 levels.
Most of my patients reach total test of ~800-900 with just 100mg a week. There is no reason why test cyp or enanthate should be run ever 10 days because you never achieve stable levels.

I actually tell my patients to inject 50mg twice a week. This allows even more stable levels and by injecting a smaller amount in a single injection, you reduce your E2 spike. Once again there is a difference between TRT and "Cruise" dosages. I am only referring to TRT which the goal is to put your total test in the 700-1000 range.

thanks for the info alpha, do you think a normal trt dose of 100mg ew will have negative effects on the hairline?
