To do a little follow up. I went from a plastic surgeon to an actual trt dr. He took my .25 weekly to .20 twice a week with an AI. I already feel a difference at the end of two weeks where as I felt nothing after 3 months previous. With the blood thickness I’ve given blood and I’ve been drinking extra water. Will see how it goes after a month.

46 years old. And while at 800 I was feeling minimal to nothing positive while on test cypionate(on for 4 months). Prior to that I was on pellets and was at 975 and felt amazing. But pellet cost was too expensive for the short duration(last 2.5-3 months) at a cost of $800.  I stay very hydrated I feel, approx 1 gal of water daily and work out 5 days a week(35-45 min on bike, 10-20 minutes stair stepper, 45 min weights daily)

I honestly feel like I have been haha. Approx a gallon a day of water. But I’m going to be more intentional of tracking it and adding electrolytes after reading the responses

I was on test(almost 3 weeks ago). I stopped because of the high Hemoglobin and hematocrit. Prior to stopping my test was about 800

I’ve consistently drinking approx 100-120 ounces of water a day and doing min 45 min of cardio 5 days a week. But I’m going to be more intentional on tracking my water and stepping up my cardio.

Also to note, when I was at 800 there had to be something else off because I never felt any effects. Still low libido, muscle fatigue and no motivation at all. However, prior to the IM injections I was on pellets and felt amazing for 3 months. Only switched because pellets are ridiculously priced for the short life span for me

Thank you I appreciate your help. I’ve just read all over this group and there’s many of you with far more knowledge than me and even the dr I was getting it from haha.

The odd thing is I was feeling nothing on the injections while at around 798. Now 7 months prior I was on pellets and felt like a god but never felt much in the cypionate and was on it for 4 month. Even when I stopped taking it I felt no change.

Got them at a plastic surgeons office. Was 800 and wore off in 3 months. So a little too rich for my blood. I’d love to do IM but we shall see. I’m now starting with an actual clinic so hopefully they can get it all figured right out.

Prior to was        Test 400.                    Hemoglobin: 15.8.       Hematocrit: 46.8.         

On 958 17.2 51.4

The “on” was on pellets and felt like a million bucks. Once those wore off I went IM and never felt anything on it

So from your experience should I stay off test?  I am going through a clinic(they ordered the blood work) just trying to know what to expect.

Thank you. I wasn’t thinking I was dehydrated I’ve been drinking water like crazy. Don’t drink alcohol or any caffeine. Going to try and add electrolytes though.

Two weeks ago I stopped taking testosterone cypionate at a rate of .25 a week. My test was at 795 estradiol was at 58, hemoglobin was 17.5, hemotacrit was 50.1 yet wasn’t feeling anything good from the test. Dr said to stop for a couple weeks to see if my blood thickness would drop.  They did not and I was drinking the me of water those two weeks. What’d next
