I just started out on TRT, I'm on 200mg every two weeks and just had my 2nd shot yesterday. My levels were extremely bad.
My appetite has been absolutely INSANE. Normally I eat around 3500-3800 calories daily but it's upwards of 5500+ now, all clean healthy whole foods.
Is this normal??? - Also I've gotten a lot stronger over the past 4 weeks

I'm not even stuffed at 5500+ calories either. I'm hungry every two hours no matter what I eat. Absolutely ravenous

Brehhh... That is a ton of food. What are your stats?
>Is this normal???
No, unless maybe your test was really really low before but if you were already eating damn near 4k calories I doubt it was so low it would affect your appetite

5'8, 185lbs, pretty lean, still have some ab definition. My lowest total test levels were 99 ng/dl and my free test was extremely low. I have to find my blood work.
DR put me on clomid for like 8 months and it boosted my levels to around 300 but did nothing for my symptons. Constant fatigue, brain bog, have trouble maintaining my muscle. Appetite was never lost even with low T

my levels went from 300 to 950 after one shot. but still not feeling well in terms of my fatigue and brain fog

Well I have no idea how you are eating that much and you aren't a balloon. I am 5'7 175lbs around 12% bf and I am on 300mg test cyp/week and I eat around 2500-3000 cal/day.
Also jumping on test did not change my appetite at all fyi.

Brain fog should have cleared up pretty fast. Make sure all your other hormones are in check.

Very active job and lifestyle, I lift 5x weekly for 2 hours each session with added 20-30 min cardio at the end.
Everything else is in check, gonna give it some more time and I'm also going to start giving myself weekly shots instead of every two.. I crashed hard on the 2nd week after my 1st shot

Thanks for the info though. Appreciate it. I've been reading it increases appetite in some and decreases in others. Guess I'm just a lucky one. I've already put on like 6lbs since starting, Just gonna eat and get massive.

So natty test is around 7mg/day release rate. If you look at this chart by shooting every two weeks you are actually falling under that threshold. I will upload some more pics in a min so you can understand the dosing better.
Basically shooting 50mg e3d would be ideal.
>>36963099
100mg every 7 days

50mg every 3 days. As you can see we are not changing the amount of test you are taking, just the frequency of injections which causes a MUCH more stable level of test in the blood. Hope this helps.

Thanks Anon. Much appreciated. I'll start upping the frequency of my shots and see how that works out for me.
