HRT Question

Im not on HRT or needing it but something on another board got me thinking.
 
If someone is prescribed 1ml of sustanon 250 E3W as they were producing no testosterone whatsoever (post testicular cancer for the sake for arguement).
 
What would be their approximate test levels during the 3 weeks between the next jab? I thought that a Sus 250 every 3rd week would give a level slightly higher than a normal mid 30s man would be likely to produce naturally but I was shot down in flames!
 
Can anyone advise.

Didn't put this in AAS as some people may be on HRT without ever wanting to actually hammer gear

the body produces 75mg a week naturally IIRC


250mg = just under 4 weeks natty test

by the 3rd week you'd be still hitting around 80-100mg give or take i could imagine.
Steroid blood level calculators are not on the accurate side

i could be wrong

Take 2 just in case

I might take 8 a week on my next course. Although I dont think I will be buying individual amps. Im not made of money!

Normal test production per day - 5mg-10mg.

As we know, there is a wide window of what is considered 'normal'. Let's say on average 7.5mg ed or 50mg pw. That's 150mg per 3 weeks.

Sust is 250mg of testosterone including ester weight. It is not 250mg of testosterone hormone only. 'Esters' are attached to the hormone to facilitate a 'timed release' effect (the ester must be cleaved off by the body (over time) in order for the hormone to be utilised by the body). Generally, the longer (and thus heavier) the ester chain attached, the longer it takes for the body to utilise the hormone.

So, how much actualy testosterone hormone is there in 250mg sustanon?

Sust consists of 90mg of test prop & phenylprop. These are  83% testosterone so 90mg estered = 74.7mg testosterone

It also contains 60mg test isocaproate which is roughly 74% testosterone so 44.4mg testosterone

Lastly it contains 100mg test decanoate (the longest carbon chain ester therefore the 'heaviest'). This is roughly 62% testosterone so 100mg estered = 62mg test.

Add all of those components and we have an actual testosterone content of 75+44+62 = 181mg of actual testosterone per 250mg ampoule.

Brilliant post PB.

Clears it up perfectly. So it really is an average dose then. Makes sense I guess!

Pretty much. 250mg sustanon should put a person firmly within the realms of normal. Even with the 'timed release' effect of the esters, the user should still expect an element of 'peak/trough' between shots, but not so pronounced that they would notice it I suspect.
