Lab testing guidance

I am currently prescribed 100mg Test cyp a wk. by MD to pin on Monday’s. I added in another 100mg on Thursday’s. I need to get labs done per MD request.

Last time, the wk of the lab, I pinned 50mg on Monday. Did lab Friday and came back at 900. My MD was a bit taken back. So this time I need to come in lower.

need advice. Thinking of pinning my usual Monday and Thursday this wk, but dropping it down to 50mg, 2x a wk, then not pinning at all the wk after, doing the lab on a Thursday. Will that be enough to drop me to a normal number so he’s not alarmed?

If your only adding an extra 100mg per week, I would skip two weeks of the additional 100mg and just pin the Rx’d amount. Two full weeks should be sufficient if only 100mg added on top. To be safe, if you had three weeks, I’d drop back to your Rx’d amount sooner. I always allow myself 6 weeks just to be extra safe for everything to bounce back in line including liver/lipids, etc., but that’s when adding extra compounds like anavar which messes up markers on both. A few weeks of extra test isn’t worth the headache of burning your doc and having to shop another one.

Yeah if you are still getting dialed in with your doc. I'd recommend doing what he says for a bit. If you split your 100mg to 50mg Monday morning, 50mg Friday night. Get your blood work before pinning your second dose for the week. You'll be on the lower side and he might even up your dose.

I started out doing 200mg every two weeks. Convinced the doc to let me do my own injections. So I split my dose twice a week (50mg 2xs week). It brought my peak levels down. So he increased me. I wait until the latest possible time to get my bloods done so my levels are still low. He keeps increasing me.

So now I'm taking 150mg a week split. My levels will be much more consistent. Slowly raising your doses will have less blood spikes with E2.

If you're going to add your own 100mg a week. Why ever bother with the doc? Might as well go on your own and have primary care run your bloods.

I go with a doc because my labs are covered by insurance. AND I get a 3 month supply of pins and test for $15 every 3 months!! It’s a deal lol.

That’s good advice. I will go 100mg for 3wks or so then do labs. Thanks for the reminder.

I've been utilizing the knowledge found here for the most part. I've been taking 100mg Test E x2 per week with 25mg Proviron x2 a day. Also, 250mg HcG x2 a week. I've had a vesectomy so the HcG is purely for aesthetics. I've been contemplating going to my Endo who did my vesectomy and see if he would prescribe. My question: What would the best protocol to follow to have my levels be were they need to be? I've been on for about 20 weeks now so my natty test I'm sure is completely shut down. Should I go through a full pct or just stop everything for a period of time then go? Will it look suspicious if I have very low test and LH and FSH? If I did a full PCT my total test would probably be somewhere around 500.
