[QUOTE="madman, post: 208625, member: 13851"] Start low and go slow we say. 100-120 mg T/week split (50-60 mg every 3.5 days) is a sensible starting dose as we want to see how your body reacts to testosterone. Start off on a T-only protocol and hCG could be added eventually. Avoiding the use of an AI would be ideal. Some may end up needing micro-doses but it comes down to the individual. Most would prefer to avoid the use of an AI. Blood work will be done at 6 weeks once blood levels have stabilized as we want to see where said protocol (dose T/injection frequency) has your TT, FT, estradiol, SHBG let alone other blood markers. The dose of T would only be increased at the 6-week mark if your trough FT level is too low (highly doubtful). Keep in mind that when using esterified T hormones will be in flux during the weeks leading up until blood levels have stabilized (4-6 weeks) and it is common for many to experience ups/downs during the transition as the body is trying to adjust. Many make the mistake of gauging how they truly feel during this time which can be very misleading. Even then once blood levels have stabilized it will take time for the body to adapt to the new set-point and this is the time when one should gauge how they truly feel regarding relief/improvement of low-t symptoms. Every protocol whether starting trt or tweaking a dose (increasing/decreasing T) should be given 12 weeks!
