[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 256336, member: 38109"] First, you need to go by free testosterone, not total. With low SHBG it's quite possible to have robust free testosterone when total testosterone is in the 400s ng/dL. Second, I think it's prudent to start TRT at doses that match average production levels for healthy young men—or less. It's generally considered easier to raise the dose later than to reduce it. The low-and-slow approach shuns starting at 90-100 mg TC per week, because this is already at the top end of the natural production range. It would be exceedingly rare for someone to have low free testosterone with 10 mg T per day. On the contrary, most will have upper-range and above levels. The creators of Xyosted recognized this, and that's why the starting dose is 75 mg TE per week. The OP is injecting daily, which means his serum testosterone is likely to be pretty steady, and additional testing may not be very informative. [USER=43483]@transetpmedia[/USER]: Your problem is still most likely related to testosterone. If you think it's important to rule out excipients then you can try Xyosted, which is only testosterone enanthate in oil. Otherwise, consider experimenting with a [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/tips-on-how-to-blend-propionate-with-enanthate-or-cypionate.23485/']testosterone propionate blend[/URL], which would let you reduce total testosterone exposure while preserving your peak daily level. This is more in line with the natural daily cycle seen in young men. With this approach you could potentially cut your dose by a further 20% while maintaining your daily peak TT of 700 ng/dL. In your new thread you noted that you're down to 8 mg TC per day. Although that seems relatively low, a 20% reduction puts you at the dose I've been using for years, which coincidentally has my peak total testosterone at around 700 ng/dL. In my case the 4.4 mg of testosterone per day comes from 3.2 mg testosterone enanthate and 2.4 mg testosterone propionate. [/QUOTE]
