    Why do some men need supraphysiological doses of testosterone to achieve normal levels

    I am the complete other end of that Spectrum lol. I do once weekly shots of 60mg and on day seven I’m still at 750ng. I’ve been at this dose for years and feel great. I normally have SHBG levels in a 50–70 range. I don’t even measure free testosterone anymore or any other labs other than CBC and...

    Weekly shot lab timing

    She seems cool with everything but this one area which I think she’s just misinformed. I’m going to also take the cypionate literature that comes with the Pfizer vial to show her my next appointment.

    Weekly shot lab timing

    That’s sorta what I was thinking regarding her seeing higher levels midway between injections. I might just keep it as is and tell her they’re drawn on shot shot as I’ve done for years. Measuring midway for some folks could in fact leave them hypogonadal at day seven. Luckily my levels stay...

    Weekly shot lab timing

    I have a question for those that do weekly injections. I’ve been on weekly injections for many years. I’ve been on TRT for close to 16 years now I do just fine doing once weekly injections. I normally do between 60–80 mg per week of cypionate. Recently, my doctor retired and I had to get another...

    Is GnRH suppression hurting us?

    Once a week. I’ve tried splitting the dose but have to do 72-80mg to feel the same.

    Is GnRH suppression hurting us?

    Most of it I’ve dealt with by simply going lower with the dose. I only use 60mg per week and all aspects are much better.

    Fatigue and Tired on TRT

    I do once a week I’ve always felt better doing once a week and I typically inject into the glute or delt. I just rotate through the four areas I just use generic cypionate from Walgreens.

    Fatigue and Tired on TRT

    That level is at day 7 right before injection. It fluctuates between 600-700ng and whenever ive checked the peak level it's 850ng at 3 days.

    Fatigue and Tired on TRT

    Best thing I ever did and my trough levels are 650-700ng. I just turned 50 and have as much energy as I had 25 years ago most of the time.

    Fatigue and Tired on TRT

    I feel fine and have no trouble keeping muscle or losing fat. I have tons of energy and libido is good now as well after lowering the dose. All things are better to be honest.

    FYI for those on statins

    All these little things with taking a statin make me second guess it. Like I said I've never smoked, at an ideal weight, exercise 7 days a week, no family history of heart disease but do a a few drinks thru the week. It does affect my sleep and ive noticed my glucose has went up by a few points...

    FYI for those on statins

    I’ve always had sorta high shbg in the 50-70 range which is most likely why I’ve always did well on very low doses. I feel exactly the same now on 80 mg as I did on 60 mg.

    So did you have a cardiac event or are you just doing this for keeping from having one?

    FYI for those on statins

    I don't really notice any real side effects on EOD but get bad insomnia with every day. I do 5mg of Crestor. Do you have any side effects?

    FYI for those on statins

    I did the scans thru lifeline screening and everything was good. From what I remember you take 10mg of Lipitor. What were your levels prior to that?

    FYI for those on statins

    That is an interesting article and makes me think twice about continuing to take the Statin. I have no history of heart disease,my total cholesterol hovers both tween 240 and 260 and has for many years. I’ve never smoked. I do drink on occasion and exercise religiously as well as eating healthy...

    FYI for those on statins

    As most members on here know I’ve always did better on very low dose once weekly injections. I take no other meds with trt. About 10 months ago I started a low dose statin 5mg eod. I have no perceivable side effects from the statin. Long story short, after about two months I started feeling...

    Weekly shots

    There's just no way id ever advocate using a long acting testosterone on a daily basis. I tried it briefly and felt like death. I want to do what's easiest and weekly is by far leaps and bounds better than anything I've tried. If I could stand the peak I would do every two weeks. I know three...

    Weekly shots

    I had every side effect imaginable at higher doses. I had insomnia, high blood pressure, irritability, absolutely zero libido and a plethora of other symptoms. I’ve been doing good as adults I met for well over two years and haven’t changed a thing and there’s no way in this world I’m going to...

    Weekly shots

    Once a week in my opinion is good enough for anyone. This medication is not designed to be used more frequently than that.

    Weekly shots

    I’ve been on trt over 13 years and tried pretty much every dosing schedule. I find weekly to be far superior in my case and only use 60mg per week. Trough is usually around 600-650ng. Feel great and been doing this for a long time.

    For those who are struggling on TRT

    For what it’s worth I did fantastic on Xyosted injections but it wrecked my lipids for some reason. Anyhow I had to do 75 mg of that to feel the same as I do now. I did up the dose back to 60 mg and it had nothing to do with the way I felt but erections started suffering some. I think if you...

    For those who are struggling on TRT

    I tried both and honestly I felt fantastic on the Xyosted injections as well. I’m not sure why but they absolutely obliterated my lipids when using those subtitueneous injectors as opposed to doing intramuscular. Not really sure the mechanism behind that but it would never improve while on...

    For those who are struggling on TRT

    I think it’s just the simple mechanism of the medication itself and it is designed to sit in a depot and be released slowly overtime so if you think about it there’s really no logic to dosing more frequently than one week or four or five days bare minimum there’s just no logic to it. SHBG plays...
