[QUOTE="Pipster, post: 149507, member: 38698"] Thank you very much, I appreciate the info. My SBGH was actually high (slightly out of range). The reference range is 16-55.9 and mine was 58.3. When I started 30 days ago I injected 3x times a week. Then I moved to 2x a week for 2 weeks and then just this last week I moved to once a week. I admit I am a novice when it comes to the hormone game but a friend who is a PhD in Biomedical Engineering and ex world class athlete and big TRT proponent mentioned that "injecting multiple times a week can be good but can also result in more surface area and it absorbs a lot quicker and breaks down a lot quicker the idea of long esters is to give a smooth even ride". This was not an indepth discussion but an off the hand remark made when I emailed about how frequently I should inject given that I wanted to avoid the roller-coaster that often comes (I've read) with restarting TRT. My primary reason for wanting to keep moving my TRT forward is that I seemed to feel optimal last time once I got to 125. Admittedly I was only there for a few weeks (perhaps placebo) but when not on TRT I had quite bad anxiety and depression which the TRT seems to put a HUGE dent in. I am 39 now but in my younger years I was a high level competitive athlete with (not lab tested) loads of T. I would work out 5 days a week 2x a day for my sport and recovered quite easily with a less than perfect diet. I then went thru some pretty major emotional and physical traumas and my health plummeted. I get it's entirely my subjective opinion but I feel like the kind of person who had genetically hire T levels and I believe I will feel better towards the upper range of normal. Of course I need to test and try to make impartial observations but that is my gut feeling/experience. I think your advice about waiting longer for physiologic adjustments to take place is smart.
