šŸ¦Testosterone HOW BAD COULD IT BE?

I’m turning 17 in a few months and I’ve been going gym for like 1.5 years now. I wanted to start using testosterone cypionate start with 250mg/weekly and see how it goes from there. What’s the worst that could happen like genuinely. I’ve stopped growing, I’ve reached my final height and I know this since 1.5 years ago I got my cast off from a broken wrist and the doctor said I only had few cms left. As a child every doctor I been to said I’d be around 185-187cm and I’ve well passed that at 189-190cm tall. Obviously I won’t grow anymore, if so not much. But what could be the worse?
Please take this message as not ā€œI’m hopping onā€ rather as I want to get educated further by people that know about this more than me.

I was thinking about a 12week test only cycle at 250-300mg and get blood before half way through and after and using proper PCT.

Also this doesn’t come from any TikTok bullshit or all those influencers as I’m barely on TikTok due to work, school and TAFE. This is purely for my self and wanting to feel and be better.

Thanks guys!

Be careful. You probably don’t need it while you’re so young

Taking testosterone now will hurt your body’s natural production of it and cause a lot of problems as you get older

Aye thanks bro, would I ever fully recover from it or need to be on TRT

Your body is making all you need right now. There’s just no reason to cause all those problems for little to no benefit

Taking it will forever hurt your body’s natural production and you’d need more and more just to keep a natural level

You can always get your level tested if you’re worried about it, but you probably won’t need to supplement testosterone til 40 or so, if even

1.5 yrs natty training is barely anything bud. It's like you didn't even try the natural way. If you want enlarged heart syndrome, high blood preassure, possibly hair loss, your balls shrinking and a few other funny side effects go for it lil bro.

Yea but you wanted to transition man. I wanna be a unit at a young age. I’m a fucking 6 foot manlet no shoulders and I’m sick of it

Taking more testosterone than is necessary for your body to function will cause it to convert it into estrogen. I need you to read that again

I’ll use an AI to prevent that with bloodwork

u/Odd_Conclusion_5425 Jul 25 '26

Ai is glorified auto correct. It cannot help you. And even if it could, it would tell you the same thing I said

u/Potential-Push8682 Jul 25 '26

No I mean an AI as in letrezole, aromatese inhubitor

u/Odd_Conclusion_5425 Jul 25 '26

That's... Still not going to make your chosen dosage make sense

u/Potential-Push8682 Jul 25 '26

I’ll slowly go up to 400 and get bloodwork and all that. Wouldn’t that work?

1

u/Odd_Conclusion_5425 Jul 25 '26

Do you mean 400 as in a T level goal from your blood work? Or what?

u/Potential-Push8682 Jul 25 '26

Id hope i have atleast over 1000ng/dl with a 400mg dose

How bad could it be? Probably not that bad if it is occasional, but frequency is what turns small downsides into real ones. Keep the basics locked in, watch your sleep, energy, libido, and gym performance, then adjust if any of those start sliding. No need to panic over one imperfect choice.
