I have been giving my wife 10 mg of test C a week and her total test levels came back at 256 mg/L. She is completely freaking out thinking that that is too high although she hasn’t seen any negative side effects other than “feeling like a teenage boy” due to her increased libido.

So, if anyone else could please provide some input based on their dosage and blood levels, it would be greatly appreciated.

Although the increased libido is welcomed and appreciated, I do not wish any unwelcome virilization upon her.

Thank you!
 
I don’t have the labs on hand but my wife was taking 15-20 mg a week and her total test came back in the 200’s.
 
Same with my wife. I think hers were 8 or around there. She is due for bloods again. I will say it has been a god send with her taking test

I think you kind of have to pay to play if you are a female using steroids. There is going to be some sort of virilization with any kind of extended use. If she keeps her cycles short she can probably avoid anything too dramatic, but then she might not be on it long enough to see optimal results. Something like 5mg of var might be a better option for her. That is the only thing I used that I didn't have any sides with. On the other hand, I didn't see much in the way of gains either.
And depending on her goals, it might not make sense for her to use at all.

I should have clarified. This is more of HRT as opposed to a cycle. She isn’t interested in cycling. Just getting optimal levels. She wants to “feel good”.

If she just wants to feel good (I am almost 53 and can totally get behind that!!), maybe she should go to a clinic that balances women's hormones. High end for a woman in her reproductive years is around 70 ng/dl. If she stays at the level she is currently I would think she is going to have some sort of sides to deal with. Maybe cut the dose in half if she doesn't want to go through a doctor. I know it is difficult to find a doctor that takes women's hormone level seriously. It's generally accepted that when you hit a certain age you are just going to deal with all the bs that goes with dwindling natural production.
 
she might need to drop the dose. Her blood work timing is very important as the get it done around her menstrual cycle. Forget the day but I think is around day 3?

You’re right. And I live in a very conservative area. They all want to use pellets. She doesn’t really want that.

Odd... I have been microdosing 5-7mg of test and my levels were 688 LOL.

So from what I have heard pellets are a terrible way to go. They don’t account for rate of absorption. So you might get all of the hormone to quickly before you get a new one. So many ups and downs
 
reading around ive found alot of women are very happy with there levels in the 200 - 300 range and dont get many sides at all.
if she does lower it.
 
My wife takes 10mg/wk of cyp, plus a mg to 1.5mg topical. The topical has limited absorption but has made a huge difference for her in terms of how sex feels - the injectable has made a huge difference in how SHE feels. If that makes sense. When she was on 20mg a week injectable she was at I think 140 for blood levels. She noticed some hair on her legs and wanted to cut down so went to 10 (no other sides and she wasn’t even sure about the hair, but wanted to be conservative which I think makes sense). Same time her hrt doc also move up her topical dose - started her at I think 0.5mg topical daily (to the lady parts - not the same formulation that people use for systemic replacement) and moved her up to the 1.5. The combo has really worked wonders. About to go for new bloods on the higher topical and lower injectable combo so will report back after she gets her results

I won't say what my wife's on and her last labs .... But in your situation drop to 5 a week or 10 every other. See how she feels. No sides yet but they can pop up out of nowhere. Don't risk it if she's scared of them. My wife was/is aware of all the sides of any compound we introduced.

My wife has been taking 10mg of TestC subq twice a week for several years now with no negative side effects, only positives. She’s 47 and I pull her bloodwork every 6 months. Overall, it’s actually better now since she’s been on women’s TRT than it was when she was in her early 40’s all natural.
 
A little more before and after TRT numbers.
Before: Total test- 10, Free T- .2
After: Total test ~250, Free T- 1 or 2. CBC, CMP and Lipid panels all improved as well.

Estrogen is the one that’s really going to vary depending on what phase of the month she is in; pre, during, or post period.

So she is on 20mgs a week? Or 10 split

Is your wife my gf? Just kidding…she’s been on 8mgs of test cyp and she came back at 221 on Saturday.

She was having bad shoulder acne and lethargy. Switched her to 1mg prop ed and she feels night and day. Zero acne. Much happier and nicer lol. Will pull bloods soon.
 
Talked with my coach about this high test level and if it was problematic. He looked her in the eye and said “do you have any sides?” She said no. He’s like as long as you don’t have sides the number is irrelevant.
