[QUOTE="IndyColts18to88, post: 189922, member: 41397"] Hello all, new member but have been reading on here for a while. I have been getting annual bloodwork done for quite some time, and my TT and FT have both been hovering in the low range for a few years... I'm 6'4" 270lbs (have a lifting background but definitely need to lose about 40lbs) and will be 40 on November 8. My most recent labs are: Free T 57pg/mL (range 47-244) Total T 269 (range 300-1080) was mid 300s last year but upper 200s the year before SHBG 23 (has always been low 20s) FT % 2.1 E2/Estradiol 26 pg/ml (range 5-66) didnt have LH or FSH tested this time, but last year they were LH 3.54 FSH 1.46 I'm guessing that this makes me secondary? Doctor has prescribed testosterone cypionate injections, to do myself at home (he said i can do IM/Shallow IM/SubQ, up to me...and whatever frequency i would like...and whatever dose, as long as i dont go over 100mg total for the week, until follow up labs). I have read some guys can get their #s up with lifestyle changes (i do have a desk job and diet hasnt been great... definitely need to get into better shape lifting and cardio)... but at my age, and history, i know that it is not super likely. I have also read that some guys can do small daily shots (10-12mg daily and feel good/get good #s)... i know everyone is different, but a good friend started TRT this year (levels were low 200s) and taking 63mg per week split into two shots, got him up to 500 (he was doing it subQ)... all of my other labs look good, minus being low in vitamin D (around 30) and low in B12 (from taking a PPI medicine...protonix...to reduce stomach acid...had to have two surgeries on my esophagus, so this one will not change). I know this has been a long first post... but i'd like to hear some opinions and advice from you guys! Also, are any of you on LESS than 100mg total for the week and feel good? I'd like to take the lowest dose to feel good... also, IM/Shallow IM/SubQ? Thanks, guys!!! [/QUOTE]
