Burly's TRT journey

[burlyman30]

glad to see they are taking care of you. I have been on TRT for the better part of 6 years now I guess. My lowest was 150's. the positive side of things is you can run cycles for longer now and not worry about shut down lol

I've not done injectable testosterone for over 20 years... but once everything is sorted out on the medical side, this could be the gateway to cycling TRT in a cruise/blast fashion...

Being on TRT, do you monitor your own RBC levels and give blood as necessary? And what test level/dosage do you maintain?

Usually as far as the RBC goes you'll do a blood draw every so often and they'll check all your levels. Depending on the numbers you may have to do some blood letting.

As far as levels, that's all based on whoever prescribes it to you. The anti aging clinics tend to be on the higher side from what I've seen 700-1200. I've seen docs that are happy with just 500.

I do 200mg/week and usually range in the high 800's. I usually do a full blood draw every 3 months when not deployed. I do my TRT through my urologist, but I am going to get my Endo involved in it when I get back and try to add in HCG to the mix. I may try a restart at some point also with clomid for 3 months and see where I end up. I like being able to cruise and blast though. Makes things easy.

Surprised it's not higher than 800. Guess it's pretty individual?

also on the day it is drawn I am sure. Before deployment I was doing my shots on Sundays and blood draws were done whenever during the week, usually Fridays since I had to leave work early and that was the best day to do it. Now since I have been deployed I am started sun/wed shots and I am sure they are elevated every day of the week. I feel much better also.

Just had a draw today...bit fucked up. For those of you that dont know, i am prescribed to adderall (consider it bb poison, lol). Well like any strong stimulant one of the sides is extreme vasoconstriction. Blood flowed so slow during the draw that the nurse said she was mad at my vein for not working.

Sounds like a high dose to achieve those levels, but it will be interesting to see if that changes on your next draw with the twice weekly dosing.

That's no good, there anything they can do to loosen up your blood vessels?

I take an Herbalife product called Night Works, which has rather amazing vasodilation effects. It was developed by the Nobel Prize winner whose work with nitric oxide laid the basis for the viagra revolution and, while it contains nitric oxide in its proprietary formula, it has none of the cazy stimulative effects of the bodybuilding world's NO boosters. When my BP spiked on tren, this stuff brought it right back down: 140/90 - 110/63. And, yeah, in my early 60s, i don't just having morning wood but morning TIMBER. It's spendy, but worth it in my experience.

In late for this, but in. I've been on trt for about 5 years now, and it's made a huge difference in my life. Hoping it does the same for you mate.

Wow, I had no idea that Adderall was a vasoconstrictor. I can easily get my doctor to prescribe me some, (I used to be on it myself) and take a low dose for the stim effects. Guess that idea is out the window.
