[QUOTE="madman, post: 212830, member: 13851"] [B][I]I also understand that weekly is not necessarily optimal for the best results. When I was still in the US the doctor prescribed 200mg weekly because 100mg weekly was not bringing up my levels high enough. So I feel fairly confident that 200mg would be the bottom.[/I][/B] Again would need a thorough set of labs TT, FT, estradiol, SHBG to see where your trough levels truly sat. Big difference in jacking one up from 100 mg/week--->200 mg/week. Most would never make such a drastic jump. Increasing T dose by 20-30 mg will have a big impact on driving up levels further. Even then you seem to be so dead set on TT and as I stated although important to know FT is what truly matters. Have no clue where your SHBG sat pre-trt but there is a good chance that it was driven down from the large dose of T 200 mg/week let alone a whopping 250 mg T/week. Men with lowish/low SHBG can get away with running a lower TT while still achieving a healthy/high FT. You are flying blind here as you have no clue where your trough FT let alone SHBG truly sits on such protocol. For all, we know you may have lowish/low SHBG yet you are struggling on a once-weekly protocol injecting a whopping dose of 250 mg T. [B][I]I can check more into what labs are available locally but I am not in the US now and lab tests are hard to come by and limited here. For example there is no sensitive test for Estrogen available here. There are no doctors here that treat low T except for a couple of extremely high end doctors and the only thing they will give is Nebido in the office. They used to use Sustanon as well but have stopped. Even getting testosterone to inject here is either gray or black market depending on how you look at it. I know price shouldn't be a large motivator but it is a fact of life. The difference means I either treat myself or do without. The price is that significant.[/I][/B] You are definitely in a shitty situation but you should not be self-treating if you are not getting a thorough set of labs done at least every 6 months let alone anytime you tweak your protocol (dose of T/injection frequency). Blood work is critical. You need to know where your trough TT, FT, SHBG, and estradiol levels sit let alone other important blood markers such as RBC's, hemoglobin, hematocrit. Top it off that unless you have a trusted source then you are taking a chance relying on UGL gear as there is always the chance that it can be underdosed/overdosed, different compounds, unsterile, or completely bunk.
