[QUOTE="madman, post: 200553, member: 13851"] The best piece of advice is to start low and go slow. Most men would never need the higher end dose of 200 mg/week to achieve a healthy let alone high FT. Many can easily achieve a healthy let alone high FT and in some cases absurdly high level on 100-150 mg/week. Forget worrying about a dose increase as you have absolutely no idea where your trough TT/FT/e2 levels let alone other blood markers will sit on such protocol 100 mg T split (50 mg every 3.5 days + hCG) and chances are you may hit a high trough FT level on such dose. Keep in mind that where your SHBG sits is critical as it will not only have a significant impact on TT/FT but can also dictate what injection frequency may suit you best. Again although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of testosterone responsible for the positive effects. FT is critical and the only way to know where it truly sits is to have it tested using the most accurate assays such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best). You are only one injection in and the next 6 weeks may turn out to be a roller coaster as it is common to experience ups/downs as hormones are in flux during the weeks leading up until blood levels have stabilized. Your hpta has not shut down yet let alone the honeymoon period most experience when first starting can be misleading as to what lies ahead! Patience is key my man. Even then once blood levels have stabilized the following 2-3 months is what separates the men from the boys. [/QUOTE]
