First post, been reading all through the forum and finding the info here really helpful.
I'm 48yo, started on TRT about 4 months ago prescribed by a local endocrinologist. My 3 baseline total test numbers before seeking help were 252 a year prior, then 140 and 230 a few months before starting trt earlier this year.
Doc didn't want to prescribe me anything at first, saying I wasnt that far off "normal". I pushed him because of how horrible ive felt and so he did agree to prescribe 200mg Test C 1x every 2 weeks to start.
I felt great for a few days but then would tank and feel horrible the second week. My test levels were 400 7 days after my 200mg dose (which is when he told me to do bloodwork)
So I decided split the dose to try to avoid the crash, so 100mg /week at first taking 1 shot per week. But then went to taking smaller pins every 2 days. Plus side is I didn't crash flat anymore by splitting the dose, but i also didn't really ever feel good either.
The Doc refuses to increase my dose, even slightly, because 400 "is in normal range"
So here I came to find how to acquire a way to supplement my prescribed dose, to get the right amount my system needs to function and not some random number the Doc thinks is "good enough".
This site has been extremely helpful getting me sorted out!
Thanks
