Based on the video some people feel great having 190 tt or 400 to vs. So if you feel great on 255 like me then the question is.... Is it safe to have a low tt and free t?

Thanks but I've had free t as high as 390 pg/ml and total at 800 with 80 mg cypionate.

What is short gene CAG?

Actually my free isn't ideal it's 37.4 pg/ml and that translates to 3. My shbg has been in the teens in the past. I stopped because of my blood pressure and I had heart flutters here and there. Also I didn't feel different on nor off.

I've been off trt for 7 weeks and decided to check my levels being off. How come my free t is 37 which is great despite my total being 255? Should I go back even though I feel great? My e2 sensitive and standard was 24, 27 which is ideal.

I don't wish I never started but in my case maybe it was pointless because my total was 350+ at the time and dr said I should. On cypionate trying different doses raised my HTC and crashed my ferritin and raised my BP. Now that I've been off for over a month my ferritin is over 125 before 7...

I rather have it lower. Also my ferritin has tanked like I mentioned above.

I drink plenty of water daily. Another reason I'd like to try 50mg is because ever since I've been on trt my ferritin has tanked as low as 7 when before I was over 125.

I currently have a HTC of 55% on 200 mg. When I was doing 100mg it was around 50%. My shbg has been in the 15 to 17 mark. Having said this I don't need much cypionate to raise total and free. If I do 50mg per week will that bring it down below 50%?

For the better or worse?

Is a Hematocrit of 52.6 dangerous?

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

Bump

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.
