I’m new to this site and using test so if this post is in the wrong spot don’t flame me too much bro…
I am a 30 year old male cancer survivor that has recently been put on TRT. I was diagnosed with lymphoma at age 27 and did a few years of chemo and beat it… I have been cancer free for almost 2 years… However after chemo I gained a lot of weight and had trouble getting any progress with diet and training… I have the knowledge for both as prior to being diagnosed with cancer I was in great shape and had been lifting since My teens…
Any way long story short my doctor said he wanted to check my test and thyroid levels when I told him I was having trouble loosing weight and gaining mussel like I used to… He said chemo can reek Havoc on you hormone levels … So he did blood work and sure enough I had hyperthyroidism and low t. He put me on 50 mg test cyp a week and thyroid medication… It has been 4 weeks and I feel great and have already dropped 12 lbs and had significant strength gains…
But my question is this I understand from researching on sites like this that 50mg a week is pretty low even for TRT and I have been taking a little more on my own… 75 to 100mg a week …My starting test level was 290 any one have any well researched info on what a good weekly dose be to get me in the top of normal range… My dr seems to be fine with me being like 400 or 500 range… Obviously I’d prefer to be at 1000 I know from reading people using test to bulk take Waaay over that …but that’s not what I’m interested in I’d just like to get to the top of normal range, eat clean train hard and be HEALTHY. …
Any one on TRT know a good dose to try to get me there? My dr is not going to test my testosterone levels for another 6 weeks he checked my thyroid levels today after 4 weeks and they are good… But I have no idea where my test level is now…
