So we hear alot of guys saying they are on prescribed TRT and doses run from 100-400mg a week.
So my question is what is used to dictate your TRT dose??
In my mind you want a dose that brings your levels up into the upper end of the natural range say 1000-1200. I'm sure that there are Drs that will prescribe doses much higher that bring your levels well above that but just because a Dr prescribed it doesn't mean it right.
So asking you guys that have a script for TRT
1)what is your dose
2)what are your test levels for said dose.
3) what kind of de prescribed it.??
For me personally my urologist prescribed 150mg/wk based off of taking that does for 4 weeks and having blood drawn on Thursday morning with the injection being given on Monday morning and this has my test level in the mid 700's
I have since started taking 20mg a day (140mg/wk) and that has my levels in the low 900's after taking it that way for 4 weeks. My Dr said he would like to see my levels a little lower but said that since it is technically in range and I'm not taking more than prescribed he's ok with it
