    Weekly shots

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

    Weekly shots

    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.

    Weekly shots

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

    Weekly shots

    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.

    Weekly shots

    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?

    Are All Endocrinologists Idiots?

    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.

    High E2

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

    Testosterone and E2

    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...

    Testosterone and E2

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

    Testosterone and E2

    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?

    Testosterone and E2

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

    Testosterone and E2

    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...

    Is feeling sore after lifting weights tearing the fibers for growth?

    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.

    Is feeling sore after lifting weights tearing the fibers for growth?

    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?

    How should I start on shots?

    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.

    How should I start on shots?

    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...

    How should I start on shots?

    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.

    How should I start on shots?

    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...

    SHBG Misconceptions

    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...

    Actor in News after TRT

    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.

    Understanding weight loss

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

    Understanding weight loss

    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.

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...
