How come on a lower dose 100mg my ferritin has been lower like 12 and on 200mg 25? Thoughts on this?

Shbg kinda confuses me. Correct me if I am wrong. They say for people with low shbg you don't really need a high t dose. But how does more t raise shbg?

Yes in the past like 15 and 17

I was on cypionate 100mg weekly and after the increase to 200mg they didn't change much in 2 months. As follows: 100mg Total T 644 Free T 32 Rbc 6.14 Htc 52.4 Hemoglobin 17.6 E2 52 200MG Total T 1195 Free T 32 Rbc 6.07 Htc 52.6 Hemoglobin 17.6 E2 70

If I inject cypionate on MWF in the evening time when do I check the levels? Do I check on Monday morning before my evening shot or the morning of Tuesday or Thursday when I don't inject?

Interesting! At 100 mg per week that puts me around 600 plus. I too have a low shbg like 15. You should be higher with the tt. I may try 200 mg and see.

What was you total and free t if you don't mind me asking?

My doctor put me on 200 mg but I have always been afraid to try that and done only 100 to 120 mg. I may ask for 200 weekly micro dosing to avoid a high htc and low ferritin. Bad enough 100 mg brought my htc to 52.5

I went from 100 mg weekly to 80 mg and during this time I notice I am more sleepy lately. I've been on the 80 mg for 2 or 3 weeks.

I wanted to also mention aside from more energy and better sleep my Ferritin levels have gone up since I started doing the once a week Cypionate compared to when I was doing MWF injections. I use to have a 12 ferritin and this month 59. Not super high yet but a big improvement.

I would say better too. Before I'd toss and turn after waking in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep. Now I feel more rested because I remain asleep more.

Its been a month going from 100mg on MWF to once a week with Cypionate and I think this protocol is working as I no longer feel exhausted. I have more motivation. I was doing the MWF because my SHBG is low like 17 but this shows sometimes less injections is better despite of SHBG.

Thank you! Today it killed my gut with pain. Is there something that can be done to avoid stomach issues? I have same brand as in the link.

Thank you for the information. I started 800mg yesterday from 400mg. I'll see how it goes. Also on an empty stomach is great for the absorption but is there a way around stomach discomfort?

I was on 400mg for one month and felt nothing. Today I started taking 800mg and will see if it works. How much sam e do you guys take and is it safe to take a much higher dose?

Likely it will level out in a few weeks I hope.

I drank like 17 oz of water prior. Here is the lab.

Two or 3 weeks ago I started doing 100 mg of cypionate once a week vs my old MWF schedule. This past Friday I had labs done from my GI doctor unrelated to TRT and the hematocrit was included and my hematocrit is 54.1. This was around 40 hours after injecting. Is this level ok for now until I've...

I just started once a week cypionate for the fist time after doing MWF. I'll see how I feel.

What is with no esters? Sorry if it's a dumb question just learning since I'm on cypionate.

I see. Doing it MWF around 14 hours after the shot I had around 660. Is that peak or trough?

Yes I do check HTC and everything else at the same time. I just meant peak may provide an answer as to why other values could be off.

Thanks but isn't it good to check peak too? That way if the hematocrit and e2 is raised it's because the peak.

When is best to get labs if you do once a week? I inject in the evenings.

Since I am doing MWF micro dosing. Can I start the once a week today and every Friday or best to start Monday since I got a dose this past MW?

My trough was around 670 and free to 22. My highest dose has been 150mg lowest 80. But I've never done once a week.

Guys I have been on Cypionate 100mg on MWF for many months. I realize micro dosing can be better to avoid peaks and valleys but I feel most days worn out and can't sleep at night well. If I try the 100mg once a week instead could that maybe help me with energy levels and sleep?

Anyone here know if the Peak Testosterone Forum is down temporarily or permanently?

Can you come off SAMe safely anytime unlike with SSRI?
