    Testosterone dosing

    I'm curious if anyone else has done this. But I'm currently only taking 20mg cyp a week in 1 shot. Is this placebo or helping? My love and fsh are higher than before and numbers lower normal but feel good. Is the test doing this or had my body just recovered? Any feedback is appreciated
