Hello, 60yo starting TRT.

As others have mentioned 150mg maybe too much but you will know from your labs, you could start at 100 or less and build up or lower it from 150 , as long as you are 75% up the range for T and FT you should benefit a lot , of course keep an eye on the other numbers like E and maybe DHT. I am 65 and been on T for 15 years, was on Gel 70mg a week equivelent, a Doc told me my numbers were too low so increased to 170 ie 100 Test Cyp a week and 70 of Gel, felt better for sure but my hairloss increased quickly and my BPH and PSA rose fast, so backing off now to 100. With us more mature guys ie oldish we need to keep an eye on the prostate, T can cause BPH which isnt fun. Maybe wise start lowish and increase slow.
So you are still using both gel and Test Cyp?

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.
