After some thourough tests on me. The results came back as a testosterone level of 10.2 which is pretty low. I have had my suspicions for quite some time that my test level may be off. I had bad anxiety, no drive, no energy to even get out of bed, poor libido.

I am 29 years old 6,2 and roughly around 16%bf. I have a long history (13 years)taking part in physical activities such as sports and weightlifting at the gym, struggled really hard with all of it. These last 3 years have been hell, I had a hard time losing bodyfat and gaining muscle while dieting and working out regularily, I remebered years back when I did my first test prop cycle I was feeling like a normal person and alright after pct and same witth another test prop cycle after, my doses weren't too high either, roughly 75mg every third day to maintain stable levels and even my bloodwork looked awesome during cycle and after pct.

Anyways. I go see a dr in the city and tell him everything about how I was feeling, first he said anxiety and of course after hearing that most of my life growing up, I became so very sick of hearing that, I convinced him to run thorough bloodwork on me. Next morning I went to a lab and they drew like 6 viles of blood from me and had me give a urine sample there and take a jug for a 24 hour sample.

The next week I meet up with the dr and after going through the blood work and seeing everything look good thyroid, lh, e2, prolactin and cortisol were all within normal range, and test was 10.3
Needles to say he agreed that there was something wrong and we discussed trt treatment. I of course just went with injection's, but I decided to get that prescription and let my dr back in my hometown help me handle it. Big mistake! First she said low test can't cause anxiety or my other issues pffft!. Then wanted to give me 100mg test cyp every 4 weeks, I tried explaining to her how not only is that a low dose for that duration but after it starts declining after first injection I will be on a wild ride and completely shut down before getting second injection. She of course didn't appreciate my two cents.

so I went to see the other dr. Right away he said the duration was too far apart but unfortunately he only changed it to every second week injections at 100mg . Very surprising considering he seemed more knowledgable and I made sure he was aware of both of my cycles in the past when I did them and reminded him again about them when I seen him this time. 100mg should actually be the starting mark, anyway we did the first injection and 4 days later I felt a tremendous improvement and it has been like everything that was bothering me went bye bye. After about the middle of the following week I felt worse than when I started, dr thinks there is no issue with that and 100mg should last until the next injection

Should I bug my dr more? or find a new dr?

My bad. Kinda went on a rant. I guess what I am saying is, should I let myself get shutdown to prove to the dr that injecting 100mg every 2nd week is totally rediculous instead of 100mg injected weekly. Or maybe find a new dr
 
I would try to find a new doctor.
All normal steroid knowledge tells you that you need to inject with the time frame of the ester youre using for the duration of your cycle, but its pretty common for doctors to do that

I would try to find another doctor, but at the same time I dont know doctors who give weekly injections like theyre supposed to, and i have no idea why they dont
 
I know. Family dr types don't really have much experience in the world of trt. I can definitely say I feel good with 100mg of the cyp. Just that it has to be more consistant and if I can't find a dr who understand that I may just have to resort to self treatment which of course would lead to ug stuff, and I would rather not. I tried looking up trt dr's in my province, but they all seem to be into this bio identicle hormone treatment bs.

ug stuff isnt that bad, I was just gonna suggest you go that rout
you gotta remember pretty much everyone is on it
 
True. My best friend has been cruising and blasting for years on ug stuff,

Sounds like thats probably gonna be your rout
Going to the doctor isnt the type of thing thats gonna get you a shot everyweek

I dont think ive ever heard of a doctor giving weekly shots or anything close to that, not a "legit" doctor anyway
 
Well. Going the self medicating route, friend hooked me up with a good source. No low dose every 2nd week nonsense. Feeling great

If you have a source, maybe try injecting yourself the week that your Dr doesn't...
 
Started doing just that now. Today I used the ug cyp, and next week I will use the prescription cyp. Dr is letting me hold onto my prescription and self inject. Just have to get blood work once in a while, although this is just a baseline kind of start, I wonder if I should keep some adex or aromasin on hand in case e2 levels go up high
 
Got a vial of ug test cyp dosed at 250mg a ml. did a 125 mg shot yesterday and next week will be my prescription shot. Prescription test cyp is actually cheaper, but it is only dosed at 100mg a ml in a 10ml vial.

You gotta figure out a way to do the same amount over an extended period so your hormone level stay stable
 
What Is your opinion on possibly 50mg every 5 days? What that be sufficient enough for a more stable level?

Well you could continue to do 125, or 100, but you just need to find a way to keep it the same regardless of what amount you choose. I guess you could do 50 if you want i don know anyone who has one lower then 125 which is what i do
 
When you do your shot. Are you doing it on the same days? Ive read about people going every 5 days. I have been doing it every wednesday
