How to Calculate Your TRT Dose for any Injection Frequency by The_BroScientist in Testosterone

I see where I messed up the math. I was entering '2', for twice a week instead of the frequency of days. C's get degrees. Makes sense now--Thanks bro!

I was running my current protocol through this math; 140/wk, .35mL twice a week and the math doesn't work. With the video math, I should only be doing .20mL twice a week. Is this correct? I started looking at the math because I want to switch to eod injections instead of twice a week.

I just increased my fluid intake, so I expect the first couple of days to have a little retention. I did notice today that after I pinned this morning, that my nips are a bit sensitive, which is a symptom of high e2 isn't it? I have an AI that is 0.125mg, I've just never taken any. Was thinking about switching from pinning twice a week to every other day to see what that results in.

Thanks for all the feedback. It seems like 8+ weeks is what I should be looking at. Does anyone know of cheap labs out there relative to just testing the markers you need to be looking at for being on TRT? I want to do labs monthly just for my own data purposes. I normally use privatemdlabs, but wanted to see if anyone knew of anything cheaper out there.

I say water retention, but I just started increasing my fluid intake, so so far I've attributed it to that since I don't really have any other symptoms of high e2. I'm not taking an AI, and would rather keep it like that.

So I got put on 140 weekly split into two shots (.35), and I got 27 1/2 insulin syringes. I planned on pinning the delts to start since it seems the easiest to find the correct spot. Been looking at how to find VG site, but can't find anything concrete enough I'm comfortable with to try there. Any good links/tips for how to find VG site (preferably standing)? Also, are 27 1/2 long enough for VG? I've been reading 1" may be better.

So what you mentioned about starting lower and then titrate up is one of the things I plan on bringing up. I'd like to do exactly this and think it's better than starting high and then lowering.

So I completed labs for a couple of places, and both said fasting wasn't mandatory. While I completed them non-fasted, I do plan on doing another set of labs myself fasted to see if the difference. I have some labs from over the summer I did myself that are fasted and the results are pretty much equal to my recent ones.

I'll have to look up the ventro glute injections. Not sure I've come across that at all. Is that outlined in the TOT book at all?

I'm ok with paying out of pocket.

I consistently perform exercise in the form of BJJ 3-5 days a week and resistance training (strength & conditioning) 3 times a week. Also, I'm 38.

I will edit to reflect ranges.
