Thanks for all the replies.

I've done 375mg a week for 12 weeks of mct oil and olive oil before. I injected 0.5ml in my delt 3 times a week and I get the redness when I take the mct oil but not when I use the olive oil.

I would do 1 delt on a Tuesday with mct, my abdomen on a Thursday with olive oil and my other delt on a Sunday. By the time I got back to the first delt it was cleared up. Even if I only did 0.2ml of mct oil I still get the redness and lumps.

This is the reason I don't want to give up the trt because I don't think I can get any olive oil based test cyp from a ugc source? Long term I don't think I could keep using mct/cotton seed oil every week.

Cost wise I am not concerned about the cost of sticking with the trt and supplementing from ugc, but the bloodwork has to be arranged through the trt source. What I would likely do is get a test done myself around 3-4 weeks before having to take the trt test so I can see how close my markers are.

Just a follow up to this.

My normal TRT dose is around 70mg of test cyp a week.

The end of the first week in September 2024 I started at 200mg a week. I was up to 250mg a week the following month (October), then 375mg the month after (November), December I was down to 250mg, January I was at 225mg. The start of February I dropped back to 75mg a week and ran this for 3.5 weeks until I had a blood test on the 25th of February.

I just got the results back and Testosterone is 31nmol/l, free test 0.51nmol/l and shbg SHBG is 57nmol/l

For reference my last blood test was July 2024 and my Testosterone was 25nmol/l, free test 0.60nmol/l and shbg was 20nmol/l

The difference in SHBG could be to do with the fact I normally inject 3x per week but for the last 3.5 weeks I have just been doing it 1x.

Also, blood work wasn't through the TRT doctor so I was just making sure I was within range.

@tubbylad this is very complex bro , if you want the EVO family to help you with this you need to start a TRT log bro
like there is an issue here honestly, and you need to get on self TRT if you have a doctor problem

can you start your TRT log for the EVO family so we can properly guide you as many wont see this thread we got 100s per day bro
its like 15min of your time just put up trt info training nutrition

HOW-TO LOG?

To really guide you we need more info from you.
Please share your diet, training, cardio, sleep, supplements etc log with us in a NEW thread, full log journal so our guidance is based on facts you provide.
It will take 15-20 minutes max.
We have 100s of years of experience between us, so you need to post a LOG Journal with your stats (weight,height,age, years training, cycle history) diet, training, cardio, supplement, sleep details. If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.
