[QUOTE="madman, post: 235775, member: 13851"] Whether using TC or TE it takes 4-6 weeks for blood levels to stabilize due to the ester's half-life. It is common for many to experience ups/downs during the weeks leading up to this as hormones are in flux and the body is trying to adjust to the increasing T levels. Once blood levels have stabilized blood work needs to be done so you can see where your trough TT, FT, and estradiol sit let alone other important blood markers such as RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit. Even once blood levels have stabilized it will take time for the body to adapt to the new set-point and this is the critical time period when one should gauge how they truly feel overall regarding relief/improvement of low-t symptoms. The first 4-6 weeks can be very misleading! Critical the let everything settle. Need to give the protocol 12 weeks before claiming it was a success or failure. The only way your dose should be increased 6 weeks in is if your trough FT level is too low and you are still suffering from low-t symptoms. Did you even have blood work done before upping your dose? If not you have no clue where such protocol 80 mg T/week had your trough TT, FT, and estradiol let alone now you are going to have to wait for another 4-6 weeks before blood levels stabilize. The recent anxiety bouts are most likely due to upping your dose from 80--->100 mg which will drive up your TT, FT, and e2. [/QUOTE]
