[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 111416, member: 16042"] Your levels do seem low for the dose. 100mg/week is a very reasonable starting dose. However there may be problems related to your SHBG and injection frequency, or you may just need to take more to get levels up. Did your doc measure sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) before putting you on T cyp? And what is your injection frequency? (Edit: OK you say once a week) If you have low SHBG you will use up what you can fast and excrete the rest rapidly, so if your dose is say once a week, if you get a lab test at trough right before your next dose, your results can indeed be very low. 200mg every two weeks is a horrible thing to do to anyone. This is a big red flag that your doc doesn't have aclue how to manage your TRT. And yes, steatdy state with T cyp takes 6 weeks, but you should be feeling it after several weeks, in fact most guys are in the "honeymood period" around then. [/QUOTE]
