Blood Test Discussion
I did 4 week total test bloodwork. Kind of early but was curious where I was landing on my dose.

[QUOTE="madman, post: 179659, member: 13851"] You were already given solid advice in your previous thread which was to stick it out and stay on the same prescribed dose until blood levels have stabilized in 6 weeks than have blood work done to see where your TT/FT/E2 levels sit at the trough on such protocol (T dose/injection frequency) or lower your dose slightly. You chose the latter but unfortunately, the major mistake you made was wasting your money and having blood work done after 4 weeks which was pointless in your case because when you started trt you were injecting the prescribed dose (168mg/week) split into twice-weekly injections (84mg every 3.5 days) for week 1 and 2 then you went and skipped your first injection of week 3 and following that lowered your dose to 73.5mg for your second injection of week 3 and going into week 4 you continued with the twice-weekly injections at your new lowered dose of 73.5mg (147mg/week). I understand you may have been eager to test and see where your levels were at but because you were not consistent with your protocol than testing at 4 weeks was pointless. Again when starting trt or making a dose adjustment (increase/decrease) to a current protocol it will take 6 weeks for blood levels to stabilize as T levels will be in FLUX during the weeks leading up until levels stabilize. What some truly fail to understand when starting a protocol is that it has to be consistent meaning the dose of T used and the injection frequency need to stay the same during those 6 weeks as again not only are levels in FLUX and increasing but we need to maintain the given protocol without tweaking or skipping doses or injection frequency in order to truly see where ones trough TT/FT/E2 level would sit using the said dose of T and injection frequency. If you start lowering doses or skipping doses during the transition leading up until blood levels stabilize at 6 weeks then it is anyone's guess where your trough TT/FT/E2 levels would truly sit using said prescribed protocol (dose of T/injection frequency). Seeing as you have kept your new lowered dose consistent in week 4 and 5 you will now have to wait another 4 weeks without manipulating your protocol until blood levels stabilize than blood work can be done to truly see where your trough TT/FT/E2 level end up as a result of lowering your weekly dose of T to 147mg/week (73.5mg every 3.5 days).
