Dosage and blood work anomaly

Always doing labs before injection on injection day. As I stated in my post, I wait at least 6 weeks after changing protocol before doing labs.

Very high FT on 70mg/wk?

With two times per week you don’t have much of a trough (cypionate), but I always tested on the same day. I just ordered some test prop., going to try 6 mg daily and see how that goes. How did you like the propionate?

Very high FT on 70mg/wk?

At this dosage I don’t have any side effects actually. At higher doses I had hematocrit issues, insomnia, brain fog. So you are only taking 5 mg/day (35mg/wk)?? What is your total T using this protocol?

Very high FT on 70mg/wk?

That’s correct. 140mg put me between 1200-1400. Now 70mg puts me at the same level. I’m definitely a hyper-responder but I still don’t understand why drops in dosage do not correlate with my total T. Very strange. E2 dropped, hematocrit also, but not Testosterone.

Did you notice any significant difference in SHBG doing daily small doses compared to larger, less frequent doses? I definitely feel better now doing 10mg/day than I did doing 70mg 2x/wk. I plan to go even lower as my last blood work had my total T at 1396.

Very high FT on 70mg/wk?

Finally I have found someone like me. I was on 140/wk for years and now take 70/wk with virtually the same Total T. My doc had no answer for it either. At 100/wk I have higher total T than I did taking 140/wk…..

Dosage and blood work anomaly

I have an issue I cannot figure out. Been on trt 3.5 years mostly on 140 mg/wk. I had issues with high hematocrit so I started slowly reducing my dose. On 140/wk my total was around 1400. I dropped down to 100/wk and my total test came back over 1500. So I went to 80, came back at 1292. I felt...
