If it's legitimate TRT they base the dose on blood work. A standard dose for everyone = quack doctor.

whats the range though? im sure no matter how low your test is, they wont prescribe 1g of test for you.

90-150mg is a reasonable range for replacement but lab tests necessary to confirm free & total test levels. Most common doses are 100 & 120mg. Go to a physician that has good experience with HRT or else it can be very frustrating.

I've seen anywhere from 100mg a week to 100mg every 2 weeks.
Like Van said it sould be based off your bloodwork.
My father was on 200mg every 14 days for a while and it really improved his quality of life, he said he felt like he was 30 again.

I just got my bloodwork today, and my level is at 261. It says 240-827 is normal, so I am at the bottom of normal. I will let you know when I follow up next week. BTW, I am 28, not looking to go on HRT this early, but I feel sluggish.

Good luck with that. Let us know how it goes. I'm ready to see a doc myself. :)

150 - 200 mgs a week is not uncommon. But again, go to a reputable doctor who will do regular blood work. he or she will adjust it accordingly based on the results.
also at 28, the doctor may prescribe some HCG to keep you producing what little test you are naturally producing. otherwise the TRT will complete shut you down.
