Re: Re: transition time for injections?

[Guest guest]

Thanks. I'll ask my doctor about that.

 

When you started on injections, how long did it take before you felt steady?

You should break up that 100mg into 2 50mg injections per week. That's my same

dose and I do mine at 50mg on Tues and Fri with HCG on Mon/Wed/Thurs.

For now, as I get started, the nurse at my endocrinologist's office is doing the

injections: She's very experienced at it. I'll ask her about splitting the dose

next time I go in.

 

It's reassuring to hear you had some ups and downs when you started out. I'm

definitely feeling like shit right now--hopefully things will get better with

time as they did for you.

It's very standard to do it like that. Are you doing the injections yourself?

I'm 36 and I've been on for about 3-4 months now. It took me a couple of months

to really get consistent and I'm still getting dialed in. I just had my 3rd set

of labs done and am waiting for results which should help to fine tune things

even more. Before TRT I was feeling like shit all the time. When I started I

would have days that I would feel like a new person, and days I felt like shit,

which was much better than feeling like shit every day!haha..Fairly leveled off

now.

I'm 44 and been on TRT shots 4-5 months and have just started feeling better

over the last month, just not 100% yet. After a lot of reading in this forum and

talking to my Dr, we went from doing 200 mg every two weeks, a couple of 400 mg

every two weeks and feeling like crap, then going to 100mg every two week and

starting to feel a lot better, my Dr is letting me to 80mg every 10 days and I

hope to get to 100% again. Good luck! Everyone on this forum says having a

little bit more often seem to work better, and I agree. It's the Dr's that seem

to have a hard time understanding it.

Thanks . Looks like maybe I'm in a long ride.

 

It's tough to be perserverant when you're feeling low, but examples like yours

help.

Do your own shots have your Dr. show you how.
