[QUOTE="madman, post: 116982, member: 13851"] One of the key factors is knowing your SHBG pre-trt which you do not have and even though it may be very low now at 19.9 nmol/L (range 17.3-65.8) I would be sure that it was higher pre-trt (exactly how much higher who knows) as you never had it tested and you have been injecting a really high dose 250mg/week for 9 weeks and at that dose injected once weekly it would definitely lower ones SHBG as as high dose of androgens would do that. Once you drop your dose down to more reasonable levels you will need to wait 6 weeks until your blood levels stabilize than you will have to retest your TT, FT, e2 (although wrong test) and your SHBG to see where it sits as it may come back up as you lower your dose than you will have to adjust your weekly injection frequency based on your SHBG levels and depending on where your TT, FT sit you may need to tweak your does to find where you feel best (relief/improvement of low t symptoms). Although TT is good to know FT is what really matters at it is the unbound active fraction of testosterone and once your FT is in a healthy range for your body and e2 is in check along with other hormones especially thyroid/adrenals than overall you should feel well. Adjusting ones protocol to ones SHBG is CRITICAL and can make or break the effectiveness of trt. [/QUOTE]
