Thread: trt any reason to stay at 1300ng/dl? or is 1000 fine.

in terms of maintaining gains. there gonna be much of a difference in 1300 vs 1000? 150mg puts me at 1300, actually probably a bit more. im a greedy bitch so i like it as high as possible. if doc wants me lower is it gonna really do much anyways?

At those levels, no, you're not going to see any noticeable differences.

If you were natty and going from 200 to 500, then yes, it would be somewhat noticeable.

Everyone is a little different, but personally I'd shoot for 1000 on your TRT dose.

hmmm, that doesn't sound right. 200 put me over 1500 so 350sidewayzz is bang on with his numbers. You either got bad gear or the blood test was botched or you waited to long after your last shot to get tested

I agree with OHSOB, at those levels, no, you're not going to see any noticeable differences.

You might see improvements in your labs tho, ie; lower estrogen, maybe higher Free T, and other healthy labs. TRT clinics try to keep you in the most optimum Tot T. range while keeping your lab values in a more balanced healthy state.

Some people on TRT feel better with a lower Tot. T or somewhere below the Tot. T max range. TRT is a hormonal balancing act.

Try checking your SHBG levels, if high, try Proviron to reduce SHBG, which improves Free T levels.

Do you use HCG or an AI along with your TRT?

100mg/wk put me at 1083. I took blood work exactly a yr apart at the same dosage, it was 1083 both times. My dr lowered my dosage because he said insurance frowns on paying for this treatment with levels over 900. Do what you must, to keep the script coming in!

Hey 350, I agree with OHSOB on this. My Endo also tries to keep me at or a little below 1,000ng/dl with my TRT too. Which puts me at 140mg/week Test Cyp. He also writes a script large enough to give me 200mg/week. When I am on TRT/cruising, I've never noticed a difference between taking 140mg versus 200mg. Maybe a little extra gas in my tank, but really minimal as far as gains, sex drive, etc.

My script has me at299mg a week and my numbers lie around 980...but i double my dosage and take 500mg a week to boost my system for 8weeks then trail down ...it’s just an additional script but the doc only sees me every 3months for bloods so he just adds refills to it
