Title: HRT 200mg 1x weekly VS 100mg 2x weekly?
Post by: SouJerz on April 10, 2022, 07:38:37 PM
Any guys here have experience or experimented with 200mg weekly HRT dose split into 100mg x2 a week?   Notices and differences pros? Cons?

A.i.?

With a long ester like cypionate it won't make a difference.

This ^

Only thing I have noticed after looking at tons of bloods, is for many, doing split doses, some of your markers stay in range better.
(Hematocrit, etc).
From not getting dips and troughs I guess. For those without any "out of range" issues, you wont notice much of difference.
With a real TRT dose folks shouldnt be seeing much 'out of range' markers though.

I would do twice weekly minimum considering your dose and the half-life. Frequency usually depends on your SHBG level

Twice a week is better.  In general, fluctuating hormone levels are what cause side effects .. more frequent administration means more stable hormone levels, meaning less estrogen conversion and less side effects in general.

Definitely near the maximum dose if you have very high SHBG levels plus not using HCG which would give you a little extra boost. When I was on, 140-160mg plus HCG was more than enough to put me at around 300 for free test, and I’m a high SHBG guy. Everybody is different though.

In FL it is.  If you use a concierge service.  Doctors?  Maybe not seeing how they all like to go the ancient Androgel for first option route...

But the TRT clinics all have a cookie recipe :
200mg test cyp weekly
500ius HCG twice weekly
1mg arimidex weekly or the Arimidex is compounded in with the test cyp so you get 200mg test cyp and 1mg arimidex per cc.

Though the HCG is being replaced with Gonadorelin that is 1cc twice weekly, or 1 tab dissolved in mouth twice weekly.  Though nearly everyone says this is a shit med that doesn't come close to the HCG they were using.

1mg of arimidex is a recipe for a bad time. It’s all about the $$$$$ for these clinics. If you have high estrogen related symptoms anybody with common sense would lower the dose, not prescribe more drugs, but there’s no money in that

Actually the arimidex is Rx'd for the HCG use since that elevates the estrogen levels more than the cyp itself.

Yes it can and does.  While not disagreeing with you, you have to remember that most of the people in South FL that use these places are out of shape old farts or golf/tennis players who do not understand the mechanics behind it.  Which is why after being on it a year, they are constantly complaining about brittle hair, dry skin, and achy joints.

Great.  Seeing how your potato hoarding ass won’t ever vote in American politics or be a citizen here you should be happy.    Which obviously you aren’t.   Nor would anyone else living in a country of vitamin D deficient drunks.

Hilarious that you think your input on our politics means anything.

The truth about those esters is quite the opposite if you have the awareness necessary . If you are “aware” you can feel them within days or even the same day. But I’ve exceptional genetics and you’re likely low test with bad structure dog shit. (Only pussies could pick Biden above trump)

Also, I have been to America many times and will be again. Do not count on me not getting a visa or green card because i have had them before and I plan on getting there again to start a business and maybe buy a place in Florida where I have some family…when the Covid dust settles because I have no jabs and won’t be getting any either.

I was even locked up for felony charges in Texas and got a visa again 2 years later No problem 😉

I find it amusing how you think I’m some stupid inbred leprechaun just because I’m Irish. You realise Biden is Irish? Do you realise how much success the Irish have had worldwide for a tiny nation of potato munchers? I learned a long time ago never to underestimate anybody…

I do not need to waste my time doing that. I’m not debating it with you, I personally know microdosing or daily jabbing of long esters is definitely the way to go to keep your hormone levels and blood sugar steady thus reducing side effects.
If I wanted to I could probably find a related study or some guy who had his T levels checked every few days in an experiment but I couldn’t be bothered to do it for someone like you…you’re worthless

This has absolute NOTHING to do with your claim that cyp is not a long ester.   ::)

So you got no proof of your claim and instead want to move the goal posts and talk about kick in times, multiple sticks, etc...  The only thing worthless (other than a drunk dopehead felon posting in the middle of the night) in this debate is your bullshit excuses and deflection attempts.   Why I am not surprised you are a little Trumpturd?   Tell it to your potato collection but no one believes your bullshit here.

Depends on what you mean by long ester. I've seen textbook references of a 2-3 day half-life with a 10-12 hour Cmax (peak levels).

As you can see, by day 7 you are almost at baseline.

Yes which is why it is RXd weekly.  If you wanted to do multiple stabs you could get better results EOD but from a medical standpoint of being prescribed for TRT then weekly is considered the standard.  Plus unlike the BBing crowd, regular folks are not keen to take multiple injections each week.

Yup, and for lifetime natties who get old and start on TRT, it is equal, it brings you back to mid to high normal.
Real TRT is not a cycle, or stack, etc. It will not build you tons of muscle at all. (If kept in range).

I was natty for 38 years of my lifting (age 12 to 50) and just never had access to gear or maybe I would have tried it (who knows), I was never "anti-gear" like so many proud-natties out there. (They are more sickening than juicers with their nonsense).  Sort of like Vegans.
I was busy with other things that were bad for me, so never really had the urge to search for gear, I just loved the training.
Once you get old, start feeling like crap, this stuff can help. Its not magic, it wont get you jacked, again Im talking real TRT dose (100-125 mg).

And how the f**k did this thread turn into a political battle, LOL. Gotta love this place...  ;D

Twice a month used to be the standard I believe and from what I read there are still lots of old school docs doing it that way. The injection procedure is considered such a bitch that in many countries you can now only get the 12 week Nebido shot.

What is the purpose of the HCG? You don’t need it.

Either cosmetically to maintain ball fullness or to preserve some sort of fertility while on test


No, but some people don't want their testicles to shrink so it keeps the FSH stimulated and helps with that.

Not for me. My FSH remained undetectable at 500iu/2-3 times a week while on a standard dose of test for 2.5 years. Sperm count was very good and balls were full although I was technically shutdown. It’s an LH mimicker but can also keep you shut down even when not using testosterone. It did for me while on HCG only for a year after quitting TRT (terrible fertility protocol thanks to a urologist). Later on, I found tons of studies that show the negative effects of an HCG only protocol regarding a complete fertility protocol. Clomid is a much more effective treatment to bring your FSH back which it did in a couple months for me after the HCG only disaster.  Or you can stay on TRT and add in injectable FSH although that can get pricey.

Really?  That is fascinating.  Could you have had bunk hcg?  Were you on test a long time before adding hcg?  Maybe you needed mega doses to bring fsh back?  Just spit balling.  No homo.

I’ve actually never taken test without HCG. There was one time where I was running out and had to cut the dose in half for an injection or two, and my wife noticed some shrinkage (no homo), but that was it.
