IM or SubQ

Yep low dose works just fine. Been at this for 7 years now. I am a high hct guy, like it never goes below 52, so lowest dose that is effective is good for me. I feel fine and have great cognitive abilities strong energy. Many on here said it would never work at low dose, my answer always is “ we are all different and respond individually to trt”

Moose man I’m right there with you on low dosing. I only do 60mg per week and feel night and day better than I ever did on higher doses. I honestly think I could lower to 50mg and still feel good.

That’s awesome to hear! Where does that put your numbers? How often do you pin? IM or SubQ?

if/when I finally do start, I’d really prefer to use the lowest dose that makes ME feel good. I’ve been between 250-350 the past few years and it’s become my “normal “ I suppose

I do im once weekly and my trough is 650-700ng. I have lower levels with subQ and it raises my hematocrit more than im

I'm also a convert to the low-dose camp, currently injecting the equivalent of 50 mg cypionate a week—actually a daily injection of an enanthate/propionate blend. It's the best I've felt in many years of TRT. Daily peak serum testosterone is about 750 ng/dL, while the trough is around 450 ng/dL. This is still higher than what's seen in the majority of natural men.

Yeah if you think about it that puts us right in the ballpark of natural production levels. I hated the way I felt at higher levels in nearly every regard. I think so many guys that are having issues could resolve most of not all of them by simply lowering the dose.

i typically am in 600 range on total T, which really os not that important, upper teens on free t, and E2upper teens. I did feel a bit better when free t was low 20’s, bit soon my e2 went up and brought anxiety with it. I pin daily 4 times a week sub q and 3 times a week shallow im.
it is a journey my friend. You begin and work your way to what works for your situation. And that will change as you age. I read your other post about anxiety as well. I do not have the disorder you mentioned, but I had bad anxiety when I first started trt. In fact it is what pit me in dr office. Trt solved that issue for me

Good luck, I hope you have the same success as I do. Injecting in the VG.

Success!

Since I inject EOD, this opens up 2 more areas (aside from delts) i can use.
