[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 184443, member: 38109"] Ten milligrams is a large dose. This is more than almost all men would produce naturally in a day. Taken in a single injection it would be very likely to send serum testosterone above what's physiological. The best rule for hormones is low and slow. So why not start with smaller and work up if needed? A single daily dose may or may not be enough to resolve low-T symptoms. However, I don't think there's any harm in trying that first, as I can understand that you'd want to minimize the daily injections, and maybe can't even fathom doing it three times a day. You'd have my sympathy except that I'm enduring six a day in order to get good results with my protocol. It occurs to me that if the half-life of test base is on the order of hours, longer than that of nasal gel, then a single morning injection would give you a better imitation of natural variation. Hopefully there would still be plenty of low-T time to keep the HPTA going, as long as serum testosterone isn't excessive in the post-injection interval. Your proposed testing protocol looks good; it should be quite informative. Adding in LH might not tell you a lot more, though would act as a backup measurement for confirmation. In natural men LH varies a lot depending on how close your measurement is to the last pulse. [/QUOTE]
