Hey there guys,
Been 'lurking' on the site for some time, got off my ass to join. Didn't want to be 'that guy' of not reading FAQ's and using the Search feature. Some times I think I must suck using Search as often I get stuff completely unrelated, but I'll stick with it. Been on TRT since about spring/summer 2016, was on Androgel first few months (T went DOWN!), got switched to test. cyp. of 200 every two weeks (low's sucked, no high's), been on 100 every week since Sept. Still amazed by guys with vast overall improvements days/weeks or couple months after starting their TRT, I haven't experienced that at all. Maybe some day.
Gonna stick with the 'Search', but for now I remain a little confused on one thing, 'when' to run the bloodwork after an injection. When I was full-dose every-2-weeks I'd do labs morning of 7th day before injection. When I began 1/2 dose once-per-week I STILL did it on the 7th day because of the "1/2" amount and the half life. Best I got was 596, and neither Primary nor Urologist was checking E2. So, I opted for an Endo who told me if I was injecting on a Fri that I should do my labs on Mon or no later than a Tues. That seemed incorrect as it would appear the T would be at or near peak at that point. And she's telling me I DON'T want to see it at the 7-day mark which would be lowest. Did it her way at 4-days-after and saw over 800, so where are 'all the benefits' I hear about was my thought. At least SHE ran the E2 on my insistence, was high at 71 but I don't recall if it was extra-sensitive test. I'm sure by the end of 2017 I'll have some results like I read here on the forum.
So back to 'Search', I'll do my homework, I just think I could be better at it.
It's a pleasure to join the community. I hope I can be a productive part of it.
