Greetings all. Here is my story

The doc has me at 200mg weekly injections. Since the gel did not work as well as I thought it would, in trying to track my results do I need to start over? I remember the charts that were posted said that it would be 12 to 16 weeks for me to notice any changes in my physique. & I do work out regularly

200mg does seem high but if it were me, I would split the dose to 100mg every 3 1/2 days and test again in 12 weeks. You can adjust from there.
 
My doc told me that I may need more because of my size, so I don't contest it. We haven't discussed much on estradiol The doc does all of the monitoring and I do the labs that he says. To be honest, I'm not too worried about it.

We tried the gel, I went from 205 to 265 and that was 2 months. So now we kick it into high gear. Tomorrow is injection #2 and so far I don't feel any different.

I'll keep you posted.

You injected 200mg of testosterone and felt nothing? The first time I injected 70mg of T, I really felt it and I did not expected it. I thought it would take much longer. Right from the start strong libido and clear mind.
 
How long ago did you inject? Testosterone is typically something you feel the same day or the day after you inject, although some guys do notice it fairly quickly.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
