just been put on TRT but my dose is low

[hexagonal]

Ehh. It's pretty common to start low and increase if needed. 50mg is definitely low, but true TRT doesn't take much. 99% of people in this forum on 'trt' are on a cycle.

I barely hit 1k TT trough at 200mg/wk of test c, dosed at 100mg twice a week. 50mg a week and I'd probably still be hypogonadal. And I still saw reduction of symptoms even going up from 700 to 1kish. I know I'm a poor responder to exogenous test, and most people are going to be significantly higher on that dosage, but I wouldn't be shocked if this guy is also not doing great at only 50mg/week.

What does really surprise me here is that there hasn't been new bloodwork after 2 months of TRT. Treat the symptoms and not the numbers and all that, but having some idea where the numbers are at would be beneficial.

I'd recommend looking for a new doc or clinic just based on that alone.

While I don't disagree with your sentiment on the starting dose, you're telling someone that 1) literally joined today 2) asked for sources 3) reported dose in ml to "take matters into your own hands"? That's gonna go as well as a soup sandwich

Yeah, I don't have any experience at all. I found this forum on YouTube since I am trying to advance my fitness level after losing 150 lbs. Also, I've been told to run 500 IU of HCG three times a week combined with my current trt dose

I'd say be patient, and wait until your doctor bumps you to the .5ml. The test c you're getting, you're guaranteed to be good quality. Once you deal with underground crap, it's a never ending headache of finding the right source, hoping they're legit and not fucking up your body.

Just finished reading a post of someone thinking they got test and after months on it, their bloodwork doesn't show that's the case. They never tested the items they bought and now they're paying fo

Yeah, it sure must be high quality, just my dose is low ‍, but my insurance covers it monthly, so it's a plus on that side.

If you're just after TRT levels of test, bug your doc about getting bloodwork and find out what 50mg is doing to your hormone levels.

I am not at 50mg yet ‍‍ still running .25mg

0.25ml is 50mg on a lot of standard pharma doses.

And 50mg twice a week had me at 1200 tt in the trough.

We also have no idea what any of this guys bloodwork has been.

I'm getting worried about how much test I'm gonna have to run on blasts, lul.

And yeah, that's why this guy needs to go after his doc to get him some lab tests.

One thing you need to understand before even remotely considering going on UGL gear for TRT is the difference between the volume of the carrier oil with the testosterone in it and the dosing of the testosterone.

The picture of the prescription label you posted shows the dosing is 200mg/ml, which means that your .25ml is 50mg. The math on this is nice and easy to double, and pharma test is usually dosed quite accurately as well.

With UGL gear, you'll see all sorts of different concentrations. It might be 200mg/ml, it might be 250mg/ml, it might be 300. And UGL gear is often slightly different in actual dosing vs. target dosing, with people tending to favor slightly overdosing. But this difference can be significant, and magnified if you respond well to exogenous test. Once you learn how well you respond at a particular dosing and really dial in the amount you take, batch to batch variance can still result in you needing to make tweaks to the amount you inject.
