How long to wait to show actual natural testosterone

[Marinetwo]

The VA Doctor finally has ordered me a low testosterone blood panel. How long before my natural testosterone levels return from (ug) low dose trt?

You went cold turkey?
Depending on age and what you actually did to yourself your levels may return to baseline in 4 to 52 weeks or they may never return to baseline.

Need a little more history and details.

55yr. Self administered TRT 200mg test C (2 shots a week 100mg), only started two weeks ago…did numerous cycles in the 90s and 00s last blast 2010. I am poor and went the UL route would like to get legally from the VA, but probably a long shot, actually heard it was easier if to get if you’re going from gender conversion than if you have low T. I only started to feel a little difference after last pin on Monday of 100ml (morning wood, first time in years). I have always rebounded nicely with PCT.

I am scheduled to pin tomorrow. So I haven’t actually done anything. I am not going to stop regardless of the outcome, I am feeling better after only a few weeks, but would like to obtain legitimately with out the high cost of a TRT Clinic.

So no idea what your baseline TT/FT/LH levels were before you started administering?

Yeah it would be reasonably simple to crash your LH/TT artificially if you wanted to get TRT legally with legit rx. Whether you would like the treatment protocol they give you is another matter.

Glad you have felt some improvement. I would suggest starting at 100 mg/week and assess symptoms and bloodwork at 6 and 12 weeks.

I agree I would probably not like the VAs treatment protocol, I do have enough test C to supplement any protocol they may prescribe for quite a while. But having the labs and product paid for minus deductible would be great. I plan to skip Friday’s shot, go Monday morning for the labs, pin Monday after labs. Either way I will know where I am. It is what it is
