10 week draw, after increase Arimidex from 1 Mg per week to 2 Mg per week.

I can't imagine someone on TRT using 2 grams of adex per week! Op, for example guys who run a 500mg testosterone cycle normally run .25 adex EOD. I'm curious what your estimated BF% is?

Is Aveed (Nebido outside the US) Long Acting Testosterone Injection The Answer For Men's Low T?

I'm curious. It seems the dosing protocol is the same for everyone. That seems problematic to me. Anyone have any knowledge of the latitude the prescribing physician will be given with this?

Should You Be Injecting Testosterone Under the Skin?

Exactly what I use pretty much anywhere I inject. I often wonder if you're very lean (even glutes) if it's IM, SQ or a combination of both! Never tried thighs, sorta scares me for some reason.

A possible option for those who are struggling to find a TRT specialist.

What a great story cocarr. Great to have a doc that's interested and willing to learn right along with you. That's the partnership all should have!

Test Results: Low Free Testosterone

From memory most ranges seem to be around 30 - 100. If so, you're low in my opinion. Elevating your D will help reduce your SHBG. Stinging Nettle and avenacosides may help as well.

Test Results: Low Free Testosterone

Do you have a range for free Test? E is low as well. Low E will cause libido issues which is probably where you issue lies. Curious what your SHBG level is? Vit D level? D can lower SHBG thus improving free T.

Exercise recovery and Testosterone levels

Agree with Gene. You're over thinking it. Just get in the gym and nail it. Also if on an every 3.5 day protocol your peaks and valleys will be more minimal.
