Way too high of a dose.


You need to be more concerned with where your FT ends up and seeing as you have low SHBG you would easily be able to achieve a healthy FT on a much lower overall weekly dose.


Top it all off that you are also adding hCG which will increase your ITT (intra-testicular testosterone).


Most men will notice a boost in TT/FT/e2 levels and many may end upo with a big increase in estradiol!


If anything 100-120 mg/week (split EOD) then once blood levels stabilize (4-6weeks) get labs done (using accurate assays) to see where your trough TT/FT/e2 levels sit let alone RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit.


If by some chance your FT level is not high enough (highly doubtful) then you can increase the dose T slightly and regardless as I have stated numerous times on the forum once blood levels have stabilized (4-6 weeks) it will take another 2-3 months for the body to adapt and this is the critical time period when one should gauge how they truly feel overall regarding relief/improvement of low-t symptoms.


Otherwise, you are just wasting your time and you will end up being caught up on that never-ending merry-go-round chasing your tail endlessly struggling to find that so-called optimal protocol!


Trust me when I tell you that patience is key and you need to get out of that herd mentality mindset that more T is better let alone needing to run absurdly high trough TT/FT levels to reap the beneficial effects of having healthy hormones.


Again always better to start low and go slow.


Unfortunately, you were jacked up on a high dose of T from the get-go.


Coming down in dose will always be harder than going up and although you may experience a bumpy road temporarily from dropping your dose things will level out.
