Re: Need T Weekly Injection and AI Advice

[Guest guest]

I do MY shots of T cypionate. Don't get hooked into having your doctor do the

shots. It will be expensive. You can do your shots yourself. It's no big deal.

As for the arimidex, I can't offer any info on this.

estradiol. Before the pellets I used Androgel for many, many years. My scores

3.5.

I feel in my case it's the higher Estradiol levels that give me Anxiety and even

Panic Attacks. I am not sure about your units but try to keep your Estradiol

down at in my units about 20 pg/ml.

Most of the time when men lower there dose of Testosterone there Estradiol

levels will come down but not all men. Some men when they stop as per Dr.

there levels go higher. So when you go on shots do labs before them.

I use

Testosterone cypionate: Chemical formula C27H40O3

Testosterone cypionate is the other main injectable form of testosterone

prescribed to trans men in the United States. It is a slow-acting ester with a

release time between 8-10 days, similar to that of enanthate. The name-brand of

T-cypionate available in the United States is called " Depo-Testosterone, " which

is suspended in cottonseed oil. Testosterone cypionate is typically injected

anywhere between once every week to once every three weeks. Generic testosterone

cypionate can also be obtained through a compounding pharmacy; such pharmacies

can mix T-cypionate in sesame, cotton seed, or any other appropriate oil.

You can read about the different kinds in this link.

the link is for women wanting to become men but is full of good info.

Thanks for the replies.

How much testosterone are you injecting per week?
