[QUOTE="Goel, post: 188193, member: 41138"] Baseline labs were: TT = 427 FT = 12.17 As stated in my Introduction post, that was higher than I'd tested a few years ago (324) when I felt better than I did this cycle. But I also tested this baseline first thing in the morning when T is usually higher. Commenced Test Cyp at 100mg injected IM once/week. 7 weeks later my labs are: TT = 980 (ref. range 264 - 916) FT = 47.77 (ref. range 5.00 - 21.00) Labcorp both tests. Here's the kicker, I did my blood draw on a [U]Friday late afternoon[/U]. I administer my injections Friday evenings, so I should have been at the bottom of my trough and I can feel it when I'm "due" for my next one. I'm scheduled to meet with the Doc Wednesday to review and my thought was to go for a slight increase in dosage AND spread it out to twice/week to level the fluctuation. But with these labs I don't know if that's realistic to increase dosage? As for subjective response: I notice a [I]little [/I]more mental/emotional "well being" but not dramatic. Concentration and sleep seem unchanged. Libido has increased a [I]tad [/I]but no morning wood or other changes to quality nor quantity of erections. Energy is a little better but not what I'd hoped for, but I also figure it's still early at 6wks in. I [B]do [/B]notice I feel stronger when exercising though. My WAG based on how I feel now and felt when having taken a sublingual T several yrs ago was that I'd be at ~700ish TT. So I'm kinda shocked at 980 so far removed from my last injection. Thoughts?
