Starting TRT low dose at 80mg. Considering doing twice a week pins, using a 29 1/2” at .20ml twice a week. Has anyone had any experience with this? Is this a bad way to start? I’ve heard it takes time to reach steady state, but just curious on protocols or experience with this.
My doctor prescribed me 160mg of test cyp once a week and also added 400mg of DIM daily.
I’m really considering starting at a lower dose - 80mg or 100mg, split into two injections weekly.
I’m currently 6’ tall and 29% body fat, diet & exercise dialed in and progressively losing weight at 2lbs a week. Already lost 20lbs in the past two months. I’m aware that it’s best to keep BF% low to mitigate side effects. I’m not trying to reach super physiological levels, but just a slightly higher end of the range.
Is starting lower a smart idea? Ideally I’d like to keep side effects low and avoid using an AI.
Anyone have experience with this? My test levels before starting are in the 200s.
