Chris I have not had Total Testosterone higher than 750.
I don't know if it made a difference but I was taking Tribulus once a day working out.
500-1000mg per day.
I was curious as to the sub-q route as far as how Testosterone is metabolized vs I.M..
I don't feel good right now and don't know if my body will adjust.
I'm going to go from 50mg to 40mg twice weekly to see if that makes any difference.
No this doctor would not order the free-t or estrogen.
I hate to say it I use this physician as it is the only way for me to stay on T as cheaply as I do.
I'll do my own labs next week which I normally do once in a while especially Hematocrit and Hemoglobin.
