Title: test/hrt only once every 3 months.
Post by: Henda on October 15, 2013, 05:18:25 AM
Was at hospital today and pending results of second blood test will probably be starting hrt.
Had level of 7.2 and he says normal is 8.5 to 29.0 which sounds pretty wide range but im no doc.

Doctor says they give you an injection of test enthanate every 3 months. Is this enough to make any difference as every where else ive read says once every 1 to 2 week?

Considering the depot for enth lasts about 10 days max, what are you gonna do for the other 11 weeks?

Get a copy of your results and look for a local HRT clinic (private) bring your results there, they will test again obviously but at least they will deal with it properly and give you a weekly regimen. Plus your GP won't even be aware of your treatment there, unless you specify.

Any Dr that recommends HRT once every 90 days should have their license revoked.

Change to a proper endo immediately.

The stock dosage for HRT is 100-200mg test per WEEK.

Could be talking about one of those "pellets" Those dissolve over a 3-6 month period.

Or maybe he meant week instead of month.

He definatley said months as he said after the first six weeks they give a 'booster' shot. Then it is every 3 months after that.
This was a endo doc too so i guess this is common protocol in u.k ?
Either way will raise concerns, see how it goes and if its useless at least i got to know test was low and can set up own routine.

Nebido (test undecanoate).   They should have specified and yes it's 3 months

birth control implants?

maybe the poster is a woman, and for her, HRT means estrogen pellets.

They make Test pellets too lol..

Come to think of it I don't even think they're FDA approved or prescription or whatever I could be wrong all I know is that they exist lol.

ive never took this route me self yet, but of the handful i know of , they all met the same response

in one way i respect our docs as they dont hand out drugs like sweets like they do in america, not many prescription addicts in our country, on the other hand they are deep in the dark ages regarding this

what i do think is if you were a woman facing some kind of hormone problem there approach would be entirely more sympathetic and immediate action would be taken, but skinny paki doctors dont have the same response to over-muscled bodybuilder types im afraid hammer..

I get my script for test e every month.

I looked up nebido and read of others results and actualy sounds quite promising.
all i was searching for was test enthanate, hence the confusion.

Haha i was lucky enough to see english endo doc he seemed decent enough although this opinion may change if he say no to trt cos second blood test was just into normal. Still waiting for his copy of letter to gp and repeat appointment, feels like forever.

Yes it's awesome but 12 weeks is stretching it just alittle.  It takes a few blood tests to adjust frequency to stay in a good range as far as true HRT is concerned.  On a self administered program 750mg once per month maintains a lot of muscle and allows for a break from frequent injections.  No idea why this has not caught on yet, it's ideal.
Title: Re: test/hrt only once every 3 months.
Post by: Borracho on October 20, 2013, 02:21:35 PM
750 of what? enanthate? cyp?

if I was gonna do just 1 shot per month, it'd be undeconate... and it'd probably be a gram.

but 1 shot a week of 1cc IS considered a break from shooting 6-12cc 2-3x a week. lol

What spots do you pin with that amount of oil going into you?

Are there places you just won't inject?
Title: Re: test/hrt only once every 3 months.
Post by: Borracho on October 20, 2013, 03:26:12 PM
rear delt, front side of the side delt, "upper" medial delt.

glute... actually, now I've started hitting more in the upper glute/hip area.. much less scar tissue.

rectus quad (see Mostafa Mohammeds quads), vastus quad sometimes with 1-2cc.. don't wanna blue my striations.

i'll put a cc in my bicep sometimes... but rather not since it blues my split.

recently started shooting lats... i'd avoided it for years out of fear it'd take away from the 'feathering' of my lats, or striations plus I've got a ton of veins all over my lats... but I've done a couple 3cc shots in each now and it's not soo bad... i'm holding water now, so i'll see what kind of "damage" I've done when I dry out a lil.

I won't shoot triceps. #1, ton of veins, #2 don't want to lose my striations. plus my tri's are just fine without oil.

haven't shot traps yet.

I WON'T shot calves ever again.... OMG that shit was painfull as FUCK... plus there's veins everywhere, i'm afraid i'd shoot into one.

don't know if this is true about calves but I heard abcess/infections are more likely to happen because blood flow/circulation isn't as good there is it is in other muscles. Regardless, I probably will never after all the horror stories from guys like you that have.

I have the same fear of losing striations in certain parts like delts and tris but I think if I use longer pins, and don't pin too often, sticking to mostly glutes and hips it shouldn't cause much of a problem. Going with the 1/2 inch and shorter doesn't get deep enough and I can always see oil lumps...cutting back on quantity would minimize this ofc.

Shit I haven't worried about with using small amounts of long esters but when going back to injecting more often with more oil you start thinking of the damage...
Title: Re: test/hrt only once every 3 months.
Post by: Borracho on October 20, 2013, 04:01:02 PM
I always use 1.5"... tempted to use 2" for delts. my delts are still striated when i'm lean. but i'd take a full, capped delt over a smaller striated one.

A lot of guys these days use shorter slin pins but to me it just makes more sense to get as deep in the muscle as you can. As long as you don't hit the bone obviously...2" I probably would no matter where. I don't think I've even seen a 2" long needle, where would I get it at the zoo?

My friend is a female to male transgender and is prescribed 250mg every 14 days. Dunno what the ester is but he is at 1200ng/dl the day before stab day

Post by: Dago_Joe on October 20, 2013, 06:27:50 PM
3 months is way too fucking long to go on one shot of any test product.  Even Nebido won't stretch that long.  See if you can get Enanth out of your drug dealer with a medical degree.  They usually don't know dick about HRT for men.  They will prescribe you the absolute lowest dose possible even if it barely does anything rather than give you an amount that will improve your well being.  I remember telling my doc that since I am already pinning this shit I might as well get the most benefit out of it.  He said annoyed that its not how it works if he gave me more I would be all roid raged out and probably have a stroke.  WTF?!! My levels were barely in the normal range !  Its a losing battle trying to talk to doctors, they have absolutely no interest in improving your health or your life.  You are just a customer that they are trying to get in and out as fast as possible.

At one time my doctor suggested he inject 300 mg test cyp every three weeks. I declined and suggested I would do my own injections. If you heard your doctor right, you are headed for some hell of a rollercoaster ride. You'd be better off using Androgel daily. Just watch out for sore nipples. When I tried Androgel, my nipples started getting more sensitive then usual. I didn't take this as a good sign, so I asked to switch to the injections.

i hate to say it, but this is exactly the response i thought youd get... brit docs dont want to do this, every single bloke i know who's tried to get it ,get the run around for years until they just give up

regarding checks, we do have excellent monitoring at the needle exchanges, you can get full bloods taken every visit and get your heart measured ( cant remember the medical term for this ), they give you unbiased advices on how to do this and not fuck up

Unbelievable how the red tape of government healthcare fucks with peoples lives.  You can be just above what is considered "low" and not get a script.  Does that mean you are not deficient compared to a normal male?  Just get yourself some test through "other" means and get your blood tests done out of pocket.  It will cost a couple bucks but you don't need to be a slave to some drug dealer with a medical degree.  Blood work is not that expensive compared to dicking around with endless visits to some pos endo who doessnt give a shit about youir health only cares about what some insurance manual says she can prescribe to you.  Fuck them, take care of your own health.

Dont mind a trip to chester le street every few months or so if there were no decent ones local. We had local one behind docs in bedlington station but its just been pulleddown to extend car park. Unsure where it moved to.
