I didn't follow protocol

But no one was rude about it. Hopefully I can redeem myself.

42 yo white male, 5'10" 220#. Doctor put me on TRT last October. Test was 250. He wanted me to use the androgel but insurance wouldnt cover it so he prescribed me (somewhat reluctantly) 100mg test C every other week. I wanted to do 200mg every week so that lead me here for m knowledge and sourcing.

Just came off a 12 week cycle of 750mg Test C per week (3 dose per week) I had really nice gains, I went from 185# 12% body fat to 220# and 18% body fat although I think a lot is water retention. I used Alpha Pharma Test C 250. I didn't have labs done this cycle. I used arimidex 12.5 e3d and took 250iu hcg twice a week, which kept me feeling good. I gauged my E2 based on sexual function and overall mood/wellbeing.

This is my 4th week of cruising. I doing 100mg test C every 4days, and taking 250iu hcg in between the test injections. Testicle size and function seem good. I work in construction and feel stronger and better than I did in my late twenties, although I'm living much healthier and my diet is strictly followed so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

Anyway, this forum has taught me so much. The more I learn the more my ignorance becomes apparent but I've learned that's the sign of being on the right track towards substantial education. I look forward to growing, sharing and eventually contributing in a productive way to this forum. Thanks to all who take the time to share their knowledge, lend their advice and constructively criticize as needed.

There's probably a lot of truth to that, and why exclusive of buoyancy testing, para-cycle TBF measurements are nebulous at best since compartmental fluid (water) shifts
are anything but static when cycling,
 
C'mon man follow the protocol! I'm surprised anyone is even talking to your rule breaking ass....

Just kidding, welcome! :rolleyes:
 
50mg a week probably won't put your levels very high.

Follow the protocol and let in test you again, he'll find out your still low and probably up your weekly dose.
 
Thanks to everyone for the welcome and thank you Dr Jim; your posts are well-written and have guided me towards greater understanding of
