Why does it seem cis men on TRT need a higher dose than trans men on HRT?

136 views

Whenever I see trans men talk about their dose and levels, the average dose seems to be 60-100mg ~~of~~ weekly to get to 500-1000ng/dL. But when I see cis men (with low testosterone) talking about it, their average dose seems to be 100-200mg weekly to get to 500-1000ng/dL. What’s the difference?

Interesting question and I don’t have an answer, but a “maybe because” response that I welcome being corrected. I wonder if trans men might also be on estrogen blockers in addition to the test so they have less of a “hill” to overcome whereas cis men are simply upping their test and not adjusting for anything else.

Of course, this is for people that aren’t using test (or tren or diabol or…) to get bigger. Those will vary wildly and be much higher.
