[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 199644, member: 38109"] There's a very high chance that the TRT dose is excessive for you. The average healthy young man has total testosterone around 600-700 ng/dL. He also has higher SHBG, around 30 nMol/L. Your numbers pretty much guarantee that your free testosterone is excessive, well above any standard range. Unless physical strength is the only thing of importance to you I'd suggest cutting the dose to 60-70 mg per week. This could be 18-20 mg EOD. Typically there's no need to inject more often than this with a long ester such as cypionate. Subcutaneous injections work fine for most. You might try this method, and if you like it then you can save yourself from a lot of muscle punctures. It's common to temporarily feel worse with a dose reduction. You need to give it some months before evaluating. HCG is a useful addition to TRT for many. It's worth trying. Be aware that it can increase estradiol, causing other problems. Go low and slow on the dosing.
