[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 112871"] Welcome to the forum! Self-education is a fantastic thing and you will be better off for doing it. 150 mg of test cyp is a huge first dose and once weekly is not a very good protocol for most. The large once a week injections like you have been put on when give you a rollercoaster ride with your hormones and emotions. Your SHBG isn't high enough in my mind to warrant such a high dose once weekly. You would probably be much better off with two injections a week (every 3.5 days - example of Monday morning and Thursday evening). Having labs done again in three weeks is a little early and should probably not be done again until at least 6 weeks, 8 weeks being even better. It will take the test cypionate 40 days to reach a steady state. If you take labs after three weeks they will not give you an accurate depiction of where you are going to end up on your starting dosage. If it were me I would probably knock that doseage down to 100 mg a week total and split that into two injections of 50 mg each. Best advise is to take it nice and slow. It is much easier to increase your dosage than to bring the dosage down. Once again welcome to the forum. [/QUOTE]
