[QUOTE="madman, post: 185909, member: 13851"] Start off with 10-12mg/day as it would be more sensible to start low and go slow. Only time will tell where such protocol (dose T/injection frequency) has your TT/FT/e2 levels let alone RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit. Once blood levels stabilize have blood work done. Keep in mind that once levels stabilize it can take 2-3 months for the body to adapt so do not get discouraged during the first 6 weeks as levels will be in FLUX during the weeks leading up until they stabilize let alone your hpta will be shutting down. Some experience what we call the honeymoon phase where they feel euphoric due to the dopamine rush and increasing T levels but it will be short-lived and temporary as the body will eventually adjust. Others may have a harder time and experience ups/downs during the transition. Just stay consistent with your protocol (dose T/injection frequency) and wait until you get blood work done. Depending on whether you achieve a healthy FT level on such protocol you will either stay at the same dose and give it 2-3 months or you may very well need a slight dose increase if FT levels are still too low. Most men do well with FT in the 20-30 ng/dL range and some do run higher levels. How you feel overall regarding relief/improvement of low-t symptoms is what matters not just what numbers you achieve but you still need to know where your levels sit as there is such a thing as running levels too high for trt and more importantly we are trying to avoid/minimize any potential side-effects and keep blood markers healthy long-term. Patience is key so do not expect any miracles after 6 weeks of starting as again once blood levels stabilize it will take a few months for the body to adapt. Too many do not understand this and if things do not go how they expected within the first 6 weeks of starting trt or anytime they tweak their protocol they jump the gun and jack up the dose without ever allowing the body time to adapt which is the critical time period when one should gauge how they truly feel on such protocol. Otherwise, you will just end up chasing your own tail indefinitely! [/QUOTE]
