How do I get started with TRT?

Asked in r/trt · Answered by the HeydayMD team ·

The user is asking for guidance on how to begin testosterone replacement therapy, noting they are currently on a dose of 100mg twice a week.

The short answer

Starting TRT requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond just the dosage; it’s about finding a protocol that balances your hormones while minimizing side effects. At HeydayMD, we emphasize that a dose of 200mg per week (100mg twice weekly) is on the higher end of a starting protocol, so regular blood work is essential to monitor your hematocrit and estradiol levels. Our clinical team focuses on personalized optimization to ensure your levels stay within a healthy therapeutic range rather than just chasing a number. If you're just beginning, consistency in your injection schedule and open communication with your provider are the keys to long-term success.
