6 Weeks on Testosterone - What to Expect from TRT at 6 Weeks

[@stevensparadeo4727]

I'm a month in with the program...I shoot .5cc of 150mg of cyphonate twice a week... I've been in the gym since day one...I feel like a beast again!!! No brain fog or depression anymore it's gone...my energy is true the roof and I feel amazing... and I'm only a month or 4 weeks...on the second bottle now and I wish I would of started year's ago....my test level was 280 at 48 yrs old.... just enough to get me thru 5 hrs of work... Best thing I've ever done for myself....

[@joelhartmann4185]

Hi, just curious how you managed to acquire 300mg a week as a pres tibed dosage from BMH? I heard that normal dosage was 125mg...or am I wrong? I ask because I'm about to start my first trt consultation.

[@golfingfan3619]

That’s great my doctor gave me 200 for every 3 weeks or 1.5 Cc let’s se what happens but I also have the same as yourself like 280 t but them give you 150 twice a week is good 300 a week time that by 6 is quite a lot of test that like 1800 test ofc ur golf to feel good 👍

[@golfingfan3619]

Well yeah bc that’s Would be 300 a week in x 8 weeks it’s like 2000 mg lol ofc ur going to feel great jajajaj try doing 200 mg every 3 weeks lol it takes 3 weeks to get into ur system so idk how ur doing but that’s a lot of test lol 😂 anyone can feel amazing like that!!!!!

Guys blast 750mg/week if you want any real gains. And 40mg if cbol.

[@Replicant2600]

Keep Telling yourself, subtle slower improvement over time is the healthiest and best way. I went in wanting subtle slow improvement. I’m on week 6, after three weeks there was like a 10% improvement in energy, motivation and libido. I could actually get out of bed and work for an hour or two vs avoiding any work(work from home) or personal responsibilities. At week 6, about 30% improvement, don’t feel like Superman just killing it like I did 10 years ago(age 40), but almost normal where I feel like I won’t get fired for underperforming at work.

[@CaptainRon1985]

I’m 4 weeks in. Started going to the gym (mental boost) and I’m trimming down like crazy. The morning wood is insane. That hasn’t happened for 10 years (39). My t level was at 178, waiting for my bloodwork to come back. This is the best money I’ve ever spent. It’s absolutely worth it.

How has your treatment been going? Are you still feeling the mental boost and better? I am 37 and have had ranges between 78-180 over 4 different tests.

I have Fibromyalgia and for some reason all of my symptoms of fibro have been feeling like they are becoming manageable since I started.

So glad to hear this. I’m at week 4 of 150mg/week (2 shots) and really was expecting a miracle in s bottle. I’ve had glimpses, but nothing consistent…and no noticeable change in body composition (eating well and lifting 5 days/week). I have felt anxious about not seeing changes (I guess I expected my body fat to drop)…but it sounds like I’m just being impatient.

@@lelandwhitehead56 yeah thanks for adding I’ve added a lot of muscle mass Hard for me to notice as i see me everyday But my friends are constantly saying “let’s exercise i want to get jacked like you!” Only downside is when i was a teen i developed a minor amount of gyno from puberty But not really ever noticeable Lately though as I’ve been getting a lot of muscle in my whole body, my pecs are so much stronger and developed muscle wise, but since I’ve also leaned out combined with building muscle, my gyno protrudes more and is more noticable to me I hate it and actually am scheduled to get the tissue removed soon It wasn’t caused by my TRT though and my TRT hasn’t given me any symptoms of gyno this was pre developed I’ve not got any new tissue thankfully I’m much stronger, my voice got deeper gratefully as i always had a voice similar to a woman-hard to deal with so I’m very thankful Got my levels very high to where my doctor lowered my dose (not that i wanted him to) but i still am in the high 8-900s I just got a little weaker after peaking in November when my levels were the highest Im not much weaker really, i just have plateaued since then Before my dr took My dose lower, my PRs were going higher every week if not twice a week Since then my PRs are plateaued but not weaker really Overall, would recommend. I advise going in for blood draws more often then drs ask, because it helps give u better awareness But far more positives than cons, my blood pressure went down (used to suffer from high blood pressure) I look way better and am happy to be on it. I’m happy with how i am now, but if my dr let me I’d up my dose because i never had any bad symptoms ever since getting my estrogen levels steady Would love to raise my T dose but doctor likely won’t allow

[@b_eazy1887]

I'm half way through my 6th week and also like only a few have felt no improvements yet in any areas. From libido to energy to mood and everything else are all the same prior to starting. I'm starting to feel very disappointed and let down. I know I'm supposed to be patient, and I'm trying. My doc has me on .5 ml (100mg) of test cyp and .5 ml (100mg) nandrolone (for my shoulder pain) together once a week IM injections. I started with glute injections and my week 6 injection I switched to my delt to see if it makes a difference in speeding up the process. Only thing I experienced was soreness in my delt for about 2 days. I'm going to stick with the delt injections because at least I felt SOMETHING even though it was soreness. Honestly, all the glowing comments on how everyone is feeling amazing is making me feel depressed and I don't suffer from depression, but I'm starting to now.

I am sure it’s receptor down regulation as my bloods are as usual. But it could also be that my life has become so much busier after my recovery from my last job. Maybe a slight increase but I find that some time off is always good. However baring in mind physical and mental health from time off and shut down of the HPTA. The complexity of it all is a mind maze! Maybe some time off is due but also maybe HCG and Proviron could be the answer. Keep at it 💪💪💪

Disappointed with Hone. The lab work for Hone is based on in-home finger prick blood draw. Unreliable method. I found a local clinic that did blood draw and lab work while I waited.

It’s really down to genetic luck whether TRT will accelerate your hair loss or not. There’s not a lot to offer and the dht blockers may be detrimental to your libido. It’s a very personal things when it comes to hair loss and how you approach this. There’s a psychological component as well for men to deal with. You have to weigh up the benefits of TRT and for many the benefits out weigh potential hair loss.

After 6 weeks will your testosterone levels still go up over the next few months?

Your testosterone levels will rise and fall with your injection protocol. The levels will be highest around the peak, shortly after you inject or apply creams, and then at the lowest point right before your next injection or application of cream.

[@catalinaandmark2628]

If I am at 226 total testosterone at the start of TRT ,does the amount injected determine the resulting increase to say 900 or is it time plus a dosage size consistently taken that causes the rise to 900 ?

[@timothysarris9742]

I’m a 66y/o white male.Started on 100 mg cyp once a week. I’m starting to do 50 mgs twice a week now. To avoid any peaks. It is really increasing my mood, sleep, and a little muscle growth with each workout. A 45 year old male only produces about 50 mg of test weekly. So I think that twice the normal production of test would be enough for me.

I’m on 100 mg a week and did absolutely no for me for the last 4 weeks!!!!

Even test e it probably highly under dosed what should I do???

[@balancemyhormones]

I’m not sure why prescription test r would be under dosed. If you mean your doctor is prescribing a lower dose than you require for your symptoms then that would be different. Is the dose split as 50mg twice per week? 100mg weekly May or May not be enough but 4 weeks in is still early days. Give it time and look at the trough levels that’s the level on the day you inject before you inject. If that is in the upper end of the range it may tell you if your getting enough though symptoms play a part as well but usually the further into treatment. Early days of treatment need some time for improvements.

Noticed a change almost over night. I'm going on my 5th week now. Feeling better and better on a daily basis so far. Stick with it bro. I'm doing 50 mg every other day and I find that is a perfect dosing as your levels don't fluctuate very much yet you're getting a relatively larger dose than doing daily micro dosing. This equates to roughly 175 mg per week. 150 one week followed by 200 the next.

@David Muenchow umm that's 200 per week bro. 50 mg Sun, Tues, Thurs, Sat = 200 mg. The next week is 50 mg Mon, Wed, Fri = 150 mg. So, what are you talking about? If you're getting 200 mg per week then you can do the same thing and it'll actually last you 2 weeks longer than doing straight up 200 mg per week.

We can’t offer you medical advice but we can tell you that if the original assessment and diagnosis was low testosterone then correcting the low testosterone may resolve many of your issues and you don’t know until you try. The anti-depressants will not correct low testosterone levels in fact if they are ssri’s then they will make issues like libido worse. Find a new doctor who is willing to help you.
