Doctor put me on nebido 4ml one injection for 12 weeks. Has anyone used this for trt
I noticed that after the 10th week I got bloods taking and my levels were below normal range.. mind you !!
I took the injections over 2 stages 2ml first as I didn’t want to take 4ml in one go I was thinking it would be very sore?
Maybe that’s why my levels dropped down so fast? I took it 5 weeks after the first injection
Nebido works well for me, I prefer it.
The company says the first loading dose should be 6 weeks, not 10. So you waited too long. After the loading dose the schedule is between 10-14 weeks between injections.
You also violated their protocol by taking it in two stages, increasing the resorption surface by increasing the number of depots could alter the pharmacokinetic profile.
Sometimes it is sore, like getting punched in the butt, but if you inject very slowly that tends to make it much less sore.
For a couple of weeks after an injection, T and E2 levels will be high, like 1200 total T, but then decrease gradually, for me at the end of the 13 weeks total T is between 620-690 after having reached stable state.
Advantage is much lower incidence of elevated HCT, less injections to deal with, my E2 tends to not be high, less peaks to deal with. testosterone cypionate injections will cause more peaks which could cause a higher E2, or you could inject TC daily with less peaks.
Disadvantage, once you inject you can't lower your total T, it isn't easy to self inject deep into glut, Nebido isn't approved in the US, Aveed is, but they grossly overcharge for Aveed for less product,
One could supplement Nebido with a cream or injection of another ester IF that is available to you. Your base of 650 the last month of Nebido would be more like 800-900 or however high you wanted it.
From your post you don't really have a choice, so why not follow the correct protocol?
