[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 239586, member: 15832"] Okay, you need to find a doctor that knows how to treat you, this protocol is setting you up for misery. Your doctor doesn’t know what she’s doing, probably has no experience with TRT. The endocrine guidelines state 75-100 mg weekly or 200 mg every two weeks, so 100mg every two weeks makes no sense. That’s 50 mg per week! These every two week protocols are known as hormonal roller-coasters. Your testosterone and estrogen levels the first week will be sky high, potentially causing issues and the second week much lower causing symptoms long before your next dosage. This is no way to treat a patient. There isn’t going to be one member here that will tell you this protocol is even remotely ideal. It’s that bad! A lack of medical training in medical school for sex hormones, poorly written labels provided by the pharmaceutical companies sets most men up for treatment failure. Body builders figured it out decades ago and actually have taught some doctors how to prescribe it. Ideally at a minimum you need a once weekly injection, some men need twice weekly shots while others need more to alleviate side effects, high estrogen, water retention and moodiness etc. [/QUOTE]
