[QUOTE="madman, post: 192202, member: 13851"] Lab work is critical and if you are not getting blood work done twice yearly (every 6 months) then you should not be injecting exogenous testosterone. I agree that many on trt have blood work done much more than what would be needed or become obsessed with staying within a certain range or trying to find some magical number when it comes to e2. Let alone one of the biggest mistakes is when tweaking a protocol (increasing or decreasing dose T/ changing injection frequency) is gauging how they feel within the first 4-6 weeks when unfortunately hormone levels are in FLUX during the weeks leading up until blood levels stabilize. Top it off with the fact that once blood levels stabilize it will take 2-3 months for the body to adapt and this is the CRITICAL time period when one should gauge how they truly feel overall regarding relief/improvement of low-t symptoms. Keep in mind that although the daily production rates in a healthy young male can vary between 4-12 mg/day and on average 5-7mg there is much more involved when it comes to how one will respond to a specific dose when using exogenous esterified testosterone. Aside from the ester used/injection frequency. Many factors come into play SHBG level, polymorphism of the AR/CAG repeat length (short/long), the sensitivity of the AR, body weight. [/QUOTE]
