[QUOTE="madman, post: 108803, member: 13851"] It is critical to know his shbg. What were his pre-trt hemoglobin/hematocrit levels? Going from 100--->150mg test/week is a large jump and may very well result in high e2 let alone make sure you are ready for his hemoglobin/hematocrit to increase as when one starts trt or increases dose of testosterone when making a protocol adjustment hemoglobin/hematocrit will increase within the first 3 months and can take up to 9-12 months to reach peak levels. Do understand that him being almost 70 that older men are usually more sensitive to the effects of testosterone. You stated that on his current protocol of 100mg/week split into (3 injections/week) that his free t is still low and his total t trough is in the 500s. Do you have labs to post with the ranges, especially including CBC (complete blood count) as knowing where his hemo/hemato is on the current protocol let alone e2. If it turns out from lab work that his shbg is high than 3 weekly injections are not needed and injecting every 3.5 days would be better. [/QUOTE]
