[QUOTE="XXY47, post: 183081, member: 41054"] So in December when I first started on injections the Endocrinologist had me at 0.25ml once a week. I was on this dosage for 3 months. During the 3 months I didn't feel any better, I still did not have clear thought, and great depression. The Endo did a blood test in February and he found that my Testosterone levels where still below 8 nmol/L but the level was slightly higher then the blood test taken in November of 2019. I was not feeling any better in February with a lack of ability to think and was threatened with job dismissal as a result. So I went to my Medical Doctor and told her and she increased my dosage to 0.5ml once a week. When I got my blood work numbers back the Endo changed the dosage to 0.5ml twice a week because I was still lower than 8.0 nmol/L just before the Lock down in April in Canada. He called me during lock down to inquire on how I was feeling. What I noticed was that the 0.5ml seemed to give me clarity of thought for about 2 days. And then after that my sleep stopped and I had fits of mood swings, depression, foggy mind and I couldn't complete complex tasks which is kind of a problem when you develop software for a industrial advanced automation company. So they put on reduced hours (1 week a month) until I could get my medication fixed. During lock down we could not do any blood work so all the Endo had to go on was how I felt which is how I ended up getting up to 0.8ml. Not until July 9th was I able to do blood work again. And this was when my testosterone was up at 52 nmol/L. You had mentioned E2 in the testing, now I have no idea if this test is conducted but on my Blood work requisition it appears. So it is probably done, yet the Endo has not requested it. For those that are in Alberta maybe it could help to know that Alberta Precision Labs does test for Estradiol [/QUOTE]
