Any one else do weekly shots?
« on: February 15, 2017, 12:28:57 pm »
The endo my psychiatrist recommended me to has been in the business since the 90's, when I went in for the first time all I had to do was tell him who had recommended me, if I had researched HRT in advance, and answer some questions about myself (less is more)  before I was given my prescription for depo-testosterone. I didn't get any blood work done because he said.5 mL a week was the average starting point anyways and I could save the $1000 for the two and a half month mark. (I pay for everything out of pocket btw). I wanted weekly shots anyways because I read that a weekly dose reduces risk of mood swings (I don't want a male version of a period if I can help it) and shots are the cheapest option (I still spend way too long contemplating the fact that I'm shoving a needle longer than my finger into my thigh) but I always hear of other guys doing biweekly shots. Also, I'm pretty sure this is more a matter of genetics, but I wonder if weekly shots= faster results? I don't think it does but I'd like to hear from others.

My shots are drastically different, so I can't really help, but from what I've read, .5ml a week for 100mg/ml is quite common for starting.

I do weekly shots. I just switched recently from .5 every 2 weeks maybe a month or two ago. I had the choice of doing double my previous amount every 2 weeks, or the same amount every week. I chose the same amount every week cuz I've also heard and felt it would be more stable of a process. I don't know if it would make any results come faster tho. I haven't heard anyone say it has so far.
Heyo, nice to meet ya. I do average to below average things. Hoping to upload more frequently on YouTube eventually. On what exactly? Who knows. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChfUf28TeunDU4N-BGK-ruA
