That is interesting. My primary care doctor saw me Monday and said if I felt good on my total of 1,065 to continue. (Cypionate 100mg weekly). I you're Endocrinologist thinks for your age (55) it should be no higher the 400 then why do TRT or better yet how can you even do TRT.

Why would your E2 be 180 with a 100 mg per week dose of T?

Hello Cataceous :) Sorry man, not that I doubt you just me and my stubbornness I guess. I see the calculations now. 60/5x7 =84 weekly or 12 daily. 60/3.5 = 17 daily or 120 weekly. If I do 50 E5D 50/5x7 that's 70 weekly or 10 daily. Averages of course! Some elementary math from a preschooler...

Thank you! So in my case 60mg every 5 days is 120?

I agree but since the sensitive was not performed this last time I rather wait before I make any changes. This may be a dumb question but...I know if someone takes for example 50mg once a week that's every 7 days but.. how about when it's 50mg evey 5 days? Isn't that considered 100 weekly?

Yeah, I am going to stay on the same protocol and repeat labs in 6 weeks with sensitive e2 this time.

Around 2.5 months for each dose. Yes never skipped a dose.

When I was on 80 mg every 5 days my e2 standard was 62 and sensitive 50. Now on 60 mg every 5 days my standard e2 was 72 but don't know this time around what the sensitive was because Dr didn't add it. I can suspect it would be around the 60's. How come my E2 went up instead of dropping since my...

Good info here I may start doing the twice a week vs once a week that I am currently on. Yesterday I did bicep curls this time more weight and went up slowly and lowered slowly for each rep. I hope to tear the fibers with better control.

Guys I understand that after you lift you can expect to be sore and because of lactic acid buildup. What I want to know is if soreness is because you tore the muscle fibers to stimulate muscle growth or no you can be sore just from lifting alone without any muscle tear/growth?

Well I can say the 60 mg every 5 days has increased my libido. Never really had issues with it but last week for example went 5 days straight with wife.

Isn't a trough of 800-1000+ considered high? That would mean peak would be extremely high. Also for me with low shbg staying at a peak of 800 or so is ideal to avoid E2 and Hematocrit from getting too high like now. I think my dose of 80mg every 5 days should be changed to maybe 60 every 5 days...

My SHBG was not tested this time but twice before 15 and 17. You think the numbers are low on TRT? The total 586 was day 5 trought. That is not bad for a low SHBG guy 5 days later.

So here is my first set of labs. I tested around 2 months into it. For those who know me here I have a SHBG of 15-17. My protocol is Cypionate 80mg every 5 days. I tested on day 5 trought day. The results are: Total T 583 Free T 15 Estradiol 62 Ultra Sensitive Estradiol 50 Hematocrit 52 Red...

I have low shbg 15-17 tested only twice and when I was using transdermal I had a TT level of 750-850 and FT 18-25 or so with sensitive E2 test of 27-29 without a blocker and all was good. I just started shots because I was tired of applying the cream and afraid of transfer. I recently started...

Good for him but I always heard pellets are not really good. I guess every organism is different. At the same time he could have now the best libido ever and energy but how are his labs. We can feel great but the labs also need to be in range from the trt.

How true is it that you can lose more weight with shots vs transdermal? This is of course while exercising and watching the diet.

No same waist size for me. That's what's frustrating. Yet while not all most of my shirts fit loose. The waist is what makes me second guess my efforts.

I apologize for the repeditiveness. I'm just trying to understand here more on the inches aspect. Yes the scale can go up while you gain muscle and yes clothes can fit better even weighing more but.. How does inches work? My waist is still the same. Is it possible to still have the same waist...

I use Optimum Nutrition Whey chocolate flavor and tastes great with milk or water.

I think the results are great especially considering you have low SHBG. I just started 80 mg every 5 days and I too have low SHBG. I will get my first set of labs in 6 weeks or so. Did you get tested on injection day prior to injecting?

What is considered a good trought number in order to know that you don't go over with peaks?

Is 80mg every 5 days a lot with low shbg? That's an average of twice weekly.

My last dose was Wednesday and I'm due again for Sunday. Should I wait at least a week to give time for the previous doses to lose effect in my body or go ahead and inject Sunday with the new dose?

The new 80 mg weekly on a lower dose ain't so bad but, How about the every 5 to 6 days?

Yes shbg 15 Total t around 775 E2 29 Free t 19 or so at times 22

Man I just got a reply from dr and want me to do .4ml every 5-6 days vs the 50 twice a week. That may be worse then 50mg twice a week.

Thanks! Thinking the shbg and e2 may be elevated is stressing me out. Can't wait for labs.

Sorry for the confusion there. When I said I called my doctor to see if I can do 100 weekly, I meant 50mg twice a week, so 100 total each week.

I am not doing the once a week I am doing the 100 twice a week but I called the doctor to see if I can do 50mg twice a week instead. I understand what you say about EOD or every day shots but I first want to see what twice a week is doing. Preferably on 50 mg twice a week.

I took a dose of 100 at my doctors office on the 22nd, then at home 50 on Sunday and then 100 on Wednesday. Why? Because I changed my mind from 200 to 100 back and forth. I just called my doctor and asked to do 100 weekly instead or 50mg twice a week.
