Just in case this thread is helpful to others, a quick follow up. I underdosed a bit before my test, waited an extra day, and tested at the trough and came in a little over 600, which made my doctor happy. Low E2. So that buys me several months of insurance paid T before he makes me test...

So far so good on 40mg 2x/week. I decided to test after a couple of weeks just to see what was happening. Morning of my shot (before the shot) I was at 745 TT and 26.8 E2, which I figure is pretty good. I feel fine. Had some fatigue when I first made the switch but things seem to be ok at...

Thanks. I tested SHBG and it was pretty good.

Well, day 4 since my 80 mg shot and I feel much better. To the point where I'm actually wondering whether I should just stick with once a week injections or really should switch over to 2x a week. I think I will probably stick with the plan, and suspect that if I let this play out I'll start...

So, I took my first dose at my new Drs. office on Monday - 80 mg. I didn't really talk about switching myself to 40 mg/2x a week, but I don't think he cares. It had been more than 2 weeks since my last 200 mg dose, and I was really dragging. Lots of fatigue and not great mood. It has now...

Yeah, hopefully I can get him to focus on symptoms. I just completed two set of tests to get a sense of the yo-yo on my current 200 mg/2 weeks program. Three days after injection my total T was 1596 and E2 was 75. Two weeks after injection, I was at 425 total T and 27 E2. It’s no wonder I...

Yeah, agreed. I do think my current dose may be too high though -- if I were completely take over and do self treatment, I would have dropped to 40 or 50 mg/2x a week anyway. I'll see how this goes for a month or two and then pull the plug if he's too conservative and then just manage it...

Thanks all. I met with a local TRT clinic. The guy actually was pretty good and is willing to prescribe test C for at home injection, which my insurance would pay for. He's recommending I move down from 200 mg every 2 weeks to 80 mg a week, because he thinks my my recent tests were too high...

Thanks to you both. I don’t know why I defaulted to subq. Hadn’t thought about it, I guess. Smaller needles and a little easier? But I take your point about not changing too many variables at once. I like my PCP for everything but TRT. Have been with him a long time. Kind of dreading...

New Member looking to take control of my TRT from a PCP who doesn't provide many options. My main question concerns dosage, but I'll take any advice I can get. Sorry if overly wordy below -- I'm not entirely sure what's relevant. 57. I was diagnosed with low T in June. I had symptoms --...
