Self prescribed trt to script

[ScruffMcBuff]

After visiting several doctors years ago who wouldn’t help, I took matters into my own hands and started self prescribed TRT. Today I finally just left a doctor who said he’d prescribe after taking bloodwork. He told me to wait 2 weeks for my levels to drop first. I’m currently on 160mg a week Cyp. Is 2 weeks long enough? I pin on Mondays and thursdays so today would be last pin until getting bloods taken.

Should be, two weeks from your last pin you should be at the bottom of the trough

Why on Earth would you use a doctor rather than doing it yourself?

The convenience of not having to constantly look for sources. Knowing I’m getting pharm grade versus gambling on UGL dose. I mean the list goes on.

Because what goes up must come down. One day nothing will get through the postal service.

Most sources I see now are only accepting bit coin. I’ve had a bad experience and won’t be messing with that again. Being that I’ll be doing TRT for the long haul I’d rather have reliable pharma grade versus jumping from source to source like I have been for all these years. If I wanna do a quick cycle ill just hop back on here if need be.

Seems like there was better way to go about this man. Like just going to a clinic getting a script for a couple hundy, then going to your primary and having him take over the facilitations of the prescription so your insurance covers it. However your question was if 2 weeks is enough time, maybe, maybe not enough to appear super hypogonadal, if the levels arnt low enough for him just wait another 2 weeks. It may be a good idea to have a serm of something on hand for gyno and sides if this process gets dragged out. Just my .02

generally 4-5 half life's, the half life of cyp is 7-9 days.

specifically, 160mg a week is 112 actually hormone when the ester weight gets taken into account. Normal man produces 40-70mg of test a week.

if you wait until week 3 you will have 14mg (actual hormone) of test in your system which is low enough. So 3 half-lives. if you only wait 2 weeks you will have 28mg of actual hormone. which may be low enough idk tbh.

What are you talking about man the war on drugs has worked great for the past 100 years lol. Practically no drugs at all entering the US even with all those high tech gadgets customs has lol.

There will always be a Chinese guy smarter than a customs officer

Very true

If you go to defy then you can tell them you did self prescribed and they'll be cool with it. They just will want to ensure you stop all of your own stuff and totally switch over to theirs. Might be worth giving them a call.

yeah. It seems increasingly as if you have to provide all sort of information which no one in their right mind would provide, just to make transactions.

You also have to take the other weeks of his TRT treatments into account.
If he has been injecting 160mg of cypionate for the last 2 weeks, it'll look like this

The quantity of 160mg Test C shot from 3/7/22 will be around 14mg on 4/7/22

160mg test C shot from 3/14/22 will be around 26mg on 4/7/22
160 test C shot from 3/21/22 will be around 48mg on 4/7/22

14+26+48= 88mg test C= 62mg of actual test.

If he waits 3 weeks, he'll have roughly 32mg of actual test in his system unless the half life of Cypionate changes as it gets closer to leaving his system.

Did he stipulate that your levels actually need to be low when you take the blood test to get a script? Or is he just telling you to do something and he's gonna give you the script either way?

Sounded like he said my levels need to be low or they’ll question him. So to avoid any of that to stop myself and hold off. I’ve definitely noticed a decrease in energy especially when the evenings hit now.

Gotcha, so it looks like he's on your side then, which is nice to have. In that case I'd listen to your doc and wouldn't worry about it. Clearly if your levels are still to high he will probably just tell you to wait another week, and get a blood test again. I doubt they'll be too high after 2 weeks though. GL

Here’s an update. It was definitely enough time. So he wrote the script I have to take the vials in so he can administer the shots. The issue I have is they are tiny 200mg/ml vials. It shows to inject once every two weeks which I’m assuming he will have me do. I’ve always pinned twice a week after reading others say it’s better for more stable blood levels and all around better feeling. I’ve never seen or heard anyone pin once every 2 weeks so I’m curious on how this will all pan out.
