Nelson, I was very surprised that my FT increased so dramatically between 100 MG per week and 150… That’s the first FT increase I’ve seen since starting TRT about one year ago @ 100 MG per week. Hopefully 125 will be the sweet spot. My doctor just texted me regarding the high numbers… Hopefully...

Thank you for reinforcing what others have said!

Thanks for your insights! I have recently switched to two injections per week, and going forward will be 62mg 2xx per week.

I think I’m making a rookie mistake. I am looking at dosage rather than test results and assuming there should be a generally consistent increase in TT & FT with everyone based on dosage. As I said however, I have not seen a FT increase until increasing from 100 MG per week to 150 MG per week. I...

My endocrinologist, started me on 400 Mg per month. I was under the impression that if that was insufficient the next step up would usually be 600 Mg per month, topping out at 800 Mg per month as the maximum. I’m sure I read that multiple places other than this forum. Thank you for the correction!

Nelson, thank you for responding. I apologize thinking I saw those #s on this website. I know I read somewhere where 2500 TT was considered the high end of the range, and 32 for FT the high end of the range. At 100 MG per week I did a dialysis free testosterone test and it still came up below...

Those levels were actually at the trough, eight days after injection… 7 AM & fasting. 150 Mg per week for eight weeks prior to testing.

Thanks for the info on FT…I’ll ck it out . PCP knew enough to see the need to raise FT. I had normal range TT before starting TRT.

Thank you for responding. Increasing from 100 to 150 was due to unresponsive Free T levels. At 100 Mg/week, Free T levels remained below low end of normal range.

I forgot to mention dosage increased from 100 MG per week to 150 MG per week is the reason I’m seeing the increased #’s

72 year old LabCorp results TT 1774 up from 1383 age recommended levels 264–916. Bioavailable free T, 404 recommended range 60–240 .22% for >70 years old. (Are these numbers too high) I think I’ve seen higher numbers considered OK on this forum. Recommended range seems to be age related. PCP is...

I just take my prescription and ask the pharmacy to use a “Good RX“ coupon… extremely cheap! Get the “Good RX” app and check prices. It is very easy to navigate and almost every pharmacy excepts their coupons… Much cheaper than my insurance company!

Thanks for saving me money… Similar to when I asked a gastroenterologist if there was any truth to colon cleansing while I was having a colonoscopy… He said “that’s a lot of crap“ do you see anything up in there as we looked at my perfectly squeaky clean colon on the monitor…

What is DHT? last blood draw was at the one-week point in the two week cycle… That’s where the doctors office told me it should be done… I’ve seen posts that say it should be done at the trough, just before the next injections… Dr. won’t raise the amount of T per month despite the low free...

I’ve been on 400 MG TC per month, 200 every two weeks-for 10 weeks- total T went from 395 to 1395… Free T still below normal range, 1.1 on a scale of 1.5 to 3.5 using the dialysis Free T test. Is the high total T dangerous?… The only reason I got on TRT was to increase free T. The total T was...
