[QUOTE="madman, post: 179521, member: 13851"] The hpta will not shut down that quickly using that dose of T. It can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks using lower doses (100mg/week). High doses of T 250-500mg/week will result in a much quicker shutdown of the hpta. Seeing as you were off for a while and are now starting trt again than what you are feeling regarding libido/erections is because your hormones are in FLUX and will be increasing leading up until levels stabilize so you are experiencing the honeymoon phase which will not last as the body will eventually adapt to the new levels. That is not to say you will lose your libido once levels have stabilized but highly doubtful you will maintain the amazing feeling you are experiencing now. I do not believe in a magic sweet spot simply because even if one's hormones are so-called optimal too many other factors come into play regarding libido/erections such as thyroid/adrenals, neurotransmitters, insulin sensitivity, stress (mental/physical), quality of sleep, diet, vascular health to name a few can all have a big impact on ones libido/erectile function. Libido is much more complex than simply having good testosterone levels. This is where most make a huge mistake gauging how they feel when just starting trt or already on a protocol and decide to increase their dose as T levels will always be increasing during FLUX until levels stabilize and many end up feeling great only to be somewhat let down once levels stabilize. Whether just starting out on trt or tweaking your protocol (increasing dose) once levels eventually stabilize it can take 2-3 months for the body to adapt to those new levels and during this period is when you should truly gauge how you feel overall regarding mood, energy, libido, erectile function, body composition changes, recovery. Then decide whether any adjustments need to be made (dose/injection frequency). You have been on here long enough to know that. It is all too common on here with men starting trt or tweaking protocol (increasing T dose) that end up ECSTATIC because they have a raging libido. [/QUOTE]
