Re: is .5cc of Test E3D a good dose??

[Guest guest]

It depends on the strength of the T you are using.

First 1ML = 1cc

If your T is 100mg/ML then 1/2cc or .5cc would be 50mg

If your T is 200mg/ML then 1/4cc or .25cc would be 50mg.

What size syringe are you using a 1ML or 3ML?

If your vial says 200mgs/ml then it would be .25CC or .25ml they are the same.

If you test is 100mgs/ml this it would be .5cc or .5mls.

Correct.

Have your thyroid levels been tested? Meaning FT3 and not just TSH and FT4? I

believe those that are low in FT3 are the ones who use up their T too quickly.

Raising thyroid makes the T last longer. This could especially be your problem

since you said you're secondary, which means all your hormones are affected, not

just T.

If your vial is 200 mg/ml, this is too much at once. An example of a low-doser

is my husband, who is doing 20-30 mg every 5 days. I would guess most men can

only tolerate 20-100 mg at once.

But Synthroid gives you plenty of FT4 and little FT3. In-range is not okay.

You need to be at least in the top half of the range for FT3, usually higher.
