Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 How big was your shot Dr. gives his first shot at 200 mgs. then 100mgs there after. So it may take some time.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 , My experience when starting TRT was subtle, even though I made a bigger jump than you (my pre-TRT levels were 220-320). For me, it wasn't like taking some sort of magic potion. I noticed over the course of a week or two that things just started slowly getting better. And then things got better when I got my E2 back up (it was down to 10 on too much Arimidex). Eugene > > Took first shot of cypionate yesterday afternoon approximately 28 > hours ago.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Injections usually take 72 hours to peak but you may or may not notice a any kind of jolt. You should start to feel a little better and the mental fog will lift. After a couple of injections I noticed desire returned and life was grand!! After 3-4 months or so it all kinda fizzled which was due to E2 levels. I still struggle with E2 and I've not been able to convince my doc to prescribe aromatase inhibitors. I've tried IndoplexDIM and it does work but only brings my E2 down 10-15 points on a double daily dose. I need to cut 25-35 points off my E2 which runs from low 50s to my receord - 67.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Liam yes you need Arimidex stress this to your Dr. he must be like my Dr. and is thinking your Heath plain will not pay for it and does not want them calling him asking why he is giving you a women drug. So tell him a lot of men use this to bring down E2 and it's paid for by durg co.'s.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Phil, I am also following that exact same protocol. Yet my first shot was 400mg instead of 200. I was so focused on sterilizing the injection site and following proper injection procedure, that I made a math error, thinking that each ML was 100mg of T instead of 200. Wanted to slap myself. But I guess an extra 200mg isn't going to make much difference in the grand scheme of things. About how long did it take you to realize some benefits? > Took first shot of cypionate yesterday afternoon approximately 28 > hours ago. So far don't notice a single thing.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 But it is a big deal wow 400 mgs. will make one feel like shit. Any way I would think you could start to feel that shot can't say it will feel good. Years ago when the Dr.'s did shot once a month I was given a 400 mg. shot and it make me so hyper I was dam sick felt like I wanted to leave my skin. It lasted over a week. So what ever you do on your next one it will be hard to tell how long you will take to feel better. First you need to get your levels up and stable then your body starts to undo the damage done by low T and this is a slow process. But in time little by little you will feel much better.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Yes, I am on injections of T cyp. (total of 100 mg per week, split into two doses: one on Mondays and one on Thursdays). > > > > , > > > > My experience when starting TRT was subtle, even though I made a > > bigger jump than you (my pre-TRT levels were 220-320).

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 - I take the depo-t, 200mgs every 2 weeks (or every other week) and I felt almost immediate results. My libido and erections are happening nighttime and morning. I'm almost always wanting to make love and my wife is going crazy because I drive her crazy wanting to so much. I started taking " T " shots about 3 1/2 months ago. Trouble is, my wife likes " spontenaity " and she works a lot so she's tired lots of the time - dangit! So I usually take care of myself. I guess there's nothing wrong with that, afterall, " they " say only " we " know how to really make ourselves feel the best! LOL! But last night was the kicker. I'll never ask her again. If I need to, I'll find " someone " else! Let's see how she likes that? But really, I get only the " T " and it worked for me immediately. My total " T " level was only 84 when I had it tested. I just had it tested last thursday and will find out where its at on wednesday, next week. I hope the " E2 " isn't high....I don't feel that it is. Soon now. Giving yourself twice the amount the first time may have thrown your system off for a bit. But will settle down again...our bodies have amazing powers of " self-healing " .

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Sounds like a lot of fun Wayne. I wish I was in your shoes. But unfortunatley I hardly have a sex drive at all right now. Certainly not enough to pursue a woman cause the payoff is not worth the chase at this point. Of course if I came home and one was waiting naked with her legs spread in the air then I would coax myself into mounting. But even so I don't even enjoy sex that much with the girl I am currently seeing. As soon as it's over I'm looking at the time for her to leave and I am done for the day. Erections are not as strong as before either and any little thing can irritate or distract me into making my member wilt down even worse than it is. I'm curious..is the depo-t you're taking by pharmacia and upjohn? That is the brand name available to be but I chose the compounded version instead to save a little money. I have a feeling it's no good...I haven't felt the slightest change one way or another. > > > > > > > > Took first shot of cypionate yesterday afternoon approximately > 28 > > > > hours ago.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Yep, reading you loud and clear. I have all of my documentation ready for my appointment on thursday. All depends on the doc. Either he'll be receptive or not and I'll be encouraged or out the door.
