question from a user

My current provider prescribed me 200mg a week. I did my research and I started lower than that. I started at 120mg 2x week, I was at 330 TT at 35! Typically what would you say 120mg would get the average male to total t?

AlphaMD's Answer

You can take your weekly dose & do some napkin math at x4-5 to see the expected rise in TT. At 120 we'd expect a rise of 480-600. Keep in mind each man is different & there will also be some suppression going on. While we would never advise to not listen to your TRT provider, we do typically start people between 140-160mg a week rather than 200mg a week. 120mg a week could probably stand to be slightly higher without much chance of other side effects, but if you feel good that is just fine. Hope that helps!
