Guess on Test levels

[tusoa]

I'm not a newbie and I know this question is going to get an answer such as "have your test results done". But I want to ride this level for a couple of weeks before testing to make sure that all spikes level out. Here are the details:

49 yo, 6'1", 210, lean
Before trt = 225 testosterone level

At 150mg/week w/ 1mg Arimidex and 750iu hcg, testosterone was 665, E2 was 28

Just upped to 300mg/week with same AI and hcg.

I always divide the weekly dosage into three shots spaced at 2.5 days apart. At the new testosterone dosage, what would you guess my T levels would be?

7.5 days a week, there’s a new one. Also very anal of you to go for 2.5 instead of 2 or 3. I’ll bite and say 1053.6

Also surprised you need an AI at 150 and being lean but I guess you and the Dr. Dialed it in.

Unfortunately I know of no equation to solve your question. It’d be cool if there was one though

Like you said, just get the blood work done

Thanks. I was just wondering if anyone else had been at a trt level (+- 150) and then went up to a low cycle range (+-300) and could equate any differences in their levels. Tests in a couple weeks will tell and I'll certainly post it. My goal is to be 10 or 20% above the maximum natural capability. I've read a lot that indicates you can get great gains in the gym at this level without nearly as many side effects.

At 140mg per week I was at 941 ng/dl. Idk what it would be if I doubled it.

In my experience it’s just simple math for the most part, with the rate of TT increase possibly decreasing slightly as doses go up.

For example I’m at 1000 on 200mg TRT. Based on blood work from last year, 500mg put me around 2300, 1g had me at 4200.

The decrease could also show a slight difference in purity between pharma and ugl test.

Are you asking because you don’t want to test to high on your next blood work?

 

[tusoa]

My doctor only prescribed blood work every 6 months now since my last blood work came in perfect. I basically just want to run a small cycle for two or three months to get a little bit of gains in the gym. I'll dose back down when it's time for my tests at the doctor. The only reason I was asking for people's estimates is that I'll have to pay for my own blood work before my next test in December. I had a general suspicion that the math would be close to linear with doubling the dose and doubling the T levels.

Here's an update.
It looks like doubling testosterone dosages will roughly double your numbers. My pre trt level was about 250. On 150 mg per week, my levels went to approximately 750. I just got my results back at 300 mg per week and my levels are at 1427.

It's impossible to know without getting tested.

150mg might put someone at 750 and someone else out of high range.

Thanks for sharing. Did your E2 double as well ?

 

[tusoa]

My E2 came back undetermined, so something went wrong with the lab. I'm going to have both T & E tested again in three or four weeks so I'll know for sure then. I am taking anastrozole and I don't feel any differences or have any signs like gyno or libido/wood problems, so I'm assuming that it is probably still fairly consistent with what it was.
