Welcome to the forum.\ tersec.
We'd like to help but you have given us nothing to work with. Can you post labs and provide us what your protocol is? Give us some background.

Total t was 227 6 weeks ago, started taking once a week 1ml of 200ml, Now total t is 1100, feel no effects.

Welcome.
If your SHBG is lower that TRT protocol isn't going to do much for you because your levels will be swinging starting out high and ending up lower by the end of the week, you body can't do much when your levels are swinging like that.
There's two types of men where your protocol would work, a man with high SHBG or a man who is a hyperecreter who metabolizes testosterone faster. Low thyroid hormones would also negate TRT's effects on the body, thyroid hormone speeds up every cell in your body.
Typically any doctor that that takes insurance is going to put you at a disadvantage, almost none of them know what their doing in relation to TRT. Sex hormone knowledge is severely lacking and the only doctors who seem to know what their doing are all private practice.

Given your SHBG you should be injecting twice weekly. The rollercoaster come later after your levels have been swinging for months, once your body has woke up to these higher levels of androgens.
I started out on 75mg once weekly and as time went on I started to notice the swings were getting larger and more severe.
I'm not feeling any effects after 6 weeks

We could provide more feedback if you posted labs, without labs we are just guessing. Some men do well slightly above ranges, remember the ranges were higher a year ago. Testosterone levels have been declining for decades, normal ranges used to be higher.
I posted all I know

Than it sounds like you are working with an incompetent doctor, most are TRT ignorant and more tests are needed to properly design a TRT protocol and until you find someone who knows what they are doing I don't expect you to feel good while on TRT.
I ran into the same problem, doctors were only checking Total T, I went private specialists and everything has changed for the better.
Testes needed:
Total T
Free T
SHBG
Estradiol Sensitive (E2)
Cortisol
Ferritin
Thyroid Panel
Yes I have some of info but know how copy in paste in without hand typing it all ,
