Hey guys! Recently received my 6 week labs done roughly 3 hours post injection.

Protocol is 7.5mgs daily, sub q.

Feeling better..not great, but better than before starting TRT. I’d like to be a little higher though.

Any ideas or suggestions on increasing dosage and by how much?

Good starting dose and good starting level achieved, good absorption with SQ.
You could wait few more weeks and let things settle, you might start feeling better on that dose/level.

Imo an increase of about 10mg per week would be a good choice.

Thanks Seagal! I’ll reassess in a few weeks and increase if necessary
 
I agree with @Seagal: Those are stellar numbers for just starting out, right in the midrange for healthy young men. Do give it some more time. If you haven't already, skim through this article to get a sense of the time frames for various improvements. Remember that TRT is not a cure-all, and there may be trade-offs involved due to the loss of HPTA function.

Thanks Cataceous, I’ll look at the article.

Many things have definitely improved. Forgot to provide starting numbers,

Baseline (7:00am blood draw)
Total T 430 (250-1100)
Free T 40 (35-155)

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
