Hello everyone! Hope that all of you are having a good time. It would be so helpful for me if someone share his expertise regarding a healthy trt protocol.

Will its efficacy (150mg once a week) remain for the whole week or should do anything else to get more stable results.

Would be so kind of all of you to guide me if there are any adjustments required.

250 mg T/week is way too high a dose!

This is well beyond the high-end therapeutic dose 200 mg/week which the majority of men would never even need.

Complete overkill here.

Your trough FT will be absurdly high.

The standard starting dose across the board by those in the know is 100 mg T/week or 50 mg T twice-weekly (every 3.5 days).

Most men are injecting 100-200 mg T/week whether once weekly or split into more frequent injections.

The majority of men can easily hit a healthy/high trough FT injecting 100-150 mg T/week especially when split into more frequent injections.

Yes there will be those outliers/strays who may need the higher-end dose 200 mg T/week but its far from common as in rare!

Some men can achieve stellar levels injecting <100 mg T/week especially when split into more frequent injections.

How many weeks have you been on your protocol and did you have labs done once you reached steady-state (6 weeks) after starting .

Labs need to be done at the true trough (lowest point) before your next injection so you can see where said protocol (dose T/injection frequency) has your trough TT and more importantly FT, estradiol and SHBG.

Do you have any labs to post?

You can easily get away with injecting 100 mg T/week but keep in mind when injecting once weekly there will be a big difference between the peak--->trough and blood levels will not be as stable throughout the week.

Splitting the weekly dose and injecting more frequently will clip the peak--->trough and blood levels will be more stable throughout the week.

Seeing as you are using Testoviron and the carrier is castor oil you can easily get away with injecting once weekly and your peak-->trough would most likely be smoother and levels will be more stable throughout the week.

If anything the sensible move here would be 100 mg/week then retest in 6 weeks to see where your trough TT and more importantly FT, estradiol and SHBG sit.

If you are not hitting a healthy trough FT (highly doubtful) in most cases then you can bump your dose up 20-25 mg/week.

Always best to start low and go slow so you can see how your body reacts to testosterone and where said protocol (dose T/injection frequency) has your trough TT, FT, estradiol and SHBG,

Much easier going up then having to come down.

There will always be time to increase the dose if need be!

Thank you so much for such a useful piece of information! Please guide me in this regard. I am little bit confused that a single amp of 250mg of testoviron depot contains 180mg of pure testosterone. Does this mean that by injecting 250mg in a week I take 180mg of testosterone enanthate or is it equal to 250mg. Please share your remarks! I have been on this dose of trt for the last four weeks. Within few days I will share my bloodworks. God bless you!

100 mg TE is ~72 mg testosterone (active T) minus the ester.

Testoviron depot is 250 mg/mL strength which is 250 mg esterified T (enanthate).

250 mgTE is 180 mg testosterone (active T) minus the ester.

In clinical T-therapy practice no matter what ester you are using the prescribed dose is always expressed as the total esterified compound weight, not the free active T (minus ester).

Again we are using therapeutic doses as in 100-200 mg esterified T/week.

Most men can easily hit a healthy/high trough injecting 100-150 mg T/week especially when split into more frequent injections.

Very rare anyone would need the higher-end dose 200 mg T/week and most would never even need to go above 150 mg/week.

The standard starting dose is 100 mg esterified T/week.

You are injecting way too high a dose for therapy.

You should have started on 100 mg T/week.

Always best to start low and go slow so you can see how your body reacts to T and where said dose has your trough TT and more importantly FT, estradiol and SHBG six weeks in once steady-sate is achieved.

Keep in mind many men can easily hit a healthy/high trough FT injecting 100 mg T/week especially when split into more frequent injections.

You may very well be one who can hit stellar levels on the starting dose.

Again there will always be time to titrate the dose if need be.

Once labs are done at the 6 week mark to get a snapshot as to where everything sits if your trough FT comes back too low (highly unlikely) in most cases then you can increase the dose 20-25 mg/week.

A bundle of thanx for your kind response!

I removed your other thread you posted up today as there is no need for two separate threads asking the same questions.

There is no best dose.

All that should really matter here is the dose one needs to achieve a healthy trough FT which will result in relief/improvement of low-T symptoms and overall well-being.

Yes symptom relief is what truly matters but when it comes to what FT level is needed one needs to keep in mind the overall goal would be to use the least amount in order to feel well while at the same time minimizing sides and keep blood markers healthy long-term.

This is why the most sensible move is to start low and go slow so you can see how your body reacts to T and where said protocol (dose T/injection frequency) has your trough TT and more importantly FT, and estradiol let alone critical markers RBCs, hemoglobin and hematocrit which will be driven up within the first month of starting

The biggest increase will be seen at the 3-6 month mark as levels tend to stabilize for most 6 months in.

The last thing you want to do here is overshoot off the hop.

It is always much easier going up then having to come down.

Again the standard starting dose when using TC or TE is 100 mg/week whether once weekly or split twice-weekly.

There will always be time for titration if need be!

250mg weekly for actual TRT is already pretty damn high for a lotta people tbh. If you feel decent the first few days then sluggish later, it might be more about hormone swings than needing even more test. Bigger doses don’t always mean feeling better, sometimes it just means more side effects and your hematocrit going to the moon lol. Bloodwork after a few weeks on a stable schedule tells the real story.

Got that brother! Thank you for responding. Now I have decided to lower my dose to 100 mg only once a week and hope for the best. Moreover very soon I will do my bloodworks in accordance with my previous dose which I took two days ago 125mg every 3.5 days total 250mg per week. After taking a useful piece of advice from Madman that testoviron 250mg contains castor oil as carrier and I can use even 100mg once a week with smoother peaks and valleys, this gives me a lot of satisfaction. Hopefully this works for me. Another information I would like to share with you people that few months ago I was doing subqutaneous injections eod of the same testoviron depot 250mg. I was taking 45 mg eod. It was not that good for me. I felt a little bit energy for two days but on third day I was feeling low. Moreover I feel that testosterone enanthate can't be microdosed by doing subqutaneous injections or even IMs.
