On test for life

[JohnnyPro]

I am 51 years old and going to be on test for the rest of my life, at 250 mgs every week or every other week. What would be the best kind of test for this? I am going to do cycles of test enanthate from time to time of 500 mgs a week.

i prefer cyp... it gives me more of a kick then enanthate.

 

[Enanthanator]

enanthate or cyp basically the same. Test undecanoate might be another option has a much longer half life

 

[bigman1]

I would stick with CYP, I like it better then ENTH. but the only difference is Test E has a longer half life but not much more

Not much diffenece between Cyp and E in this case.

Welcome to the HRT club BTW!

I am one of the few that prefer the gel. My levels stay dead even in the 800 range with no peaks and valleys.

Cyp is longer at 12 days, Enanthate is 10.

Hey JP the Hrt clinics mostly use test e. (i dont know why)
I didnt know you were a member here. aka (nightpirana)

Well welcome to the club.lol. Im 38 and just decided due to my test levels I wasnt going to come off either. Its alot harder to get HRT here in Canada so the cost is on me. Im planning on running a couple 500mg/week cycles say 12 weeks in length and the rest of the year run 250 per week. I am running a 5 test blend now but am going to switch over to test E for the rest of the year once this cycle is over. Easier to keep levels stable with the E.

Are you going to be doing any pct or is it not necessary? How will you stop testicle atrophy?

Balls are over rated. lol.. I will use HCG for the testies . And I have been told no PCT needed if I am on all the time. My dose should only replace natural levels . If I am wrong on that would someone correct me please? Thanks....

Glad to find this thread -

I'm 31- my primary doc just put me on Test Cyp full time about 2 months ago. I have had low levels for a long time now and tried some other methods to reset/boost test levels... finally I just gave in and went with the Test.

I am concerned that she doesn't know what dose to give me.

She currently has me on 200mg every other week. I haven't noticed much of a difference over the past couple months and my sex drive is almost non existant still... so I'd like to have her up the dose...

Is there a reference that shows dosage to internal yield? i.e., if I take x amount of test it will bring my levels to N?

Also - I just got blood tests back and it looks like total test level has increased to the 700's but free testosterone was at the low end of normal. Is there a way to increase the free testosterone? or is it basically up the total and the free will up itself as well?

Thanks guys

question

what are the pro's of doing this and what if any sides would there be.

I believe proviron frees up bound testosterone....I am not 100% sure on that though.

No pct makes sense, but I think your dose will do more than replace natural levels if you are taking 250 mgs per week. But since you will basically be "on" all the time like me, I don't see what purpose pct would serve. I am looking into hcg as well for any testicle problems. I was thinking maybe clomid and nolva would be alright but I think hcg would be better. I am also thinking about arimidex and proscar.

I am pretty sure clomid is specificly for restoring natural test production durring pct. So I dont think it will help us who chose to stay on. But the hcg will help for the testies....

To release your bound test you must inhibit the actions of SHBG. That's "Sex Hormone Binding Globulan". The shbg acts like a magnet to test. it then hangs on to it and will not let you/your body have it. There are a couple of herbs that have shown some promise to help inhibit shbg secretion. One is Muira Puama and the other is Avina Setiva. The dose required is fairly high at 1500mgs p/day. But the trick is you need to get these in highly concentrated form ie active ingredients and not just the root and fillers. Oh and yes welcome to the club!!

Is there any danger to the testicles from being atrophied all the time if no HCG is used?
