[QUOTE="madman, post: 275704, member: 13851"] Make sure you start low and go slow on a T-only protocol. Lots of time to increase the dose/throw in hCG if need be as we want to see how your body reacts to testosterone and where said protocol (dose T/injection frequency) has your trough TT, FT, and estradiol let alone other critical blood markers (RBCs, hemoglobin and hematocrit). Again common starting dose is 100 mg T/week or better yet 50 mg T twice weekly (every 3.5 days). Get a full set of labs done (TT, FT, estradiol, SHBG, DHT, prolactin, CBC, PSA). Always test at the true trough (lowest point) before the next injection. Keep in mind the first 6 weeks mean nothing when looking at the bigger picture. Many lack the understanding of how exogenous T works. As I have stated numerous times on the forum when first starting TTh or tweaking a protocol (dose T/injection frequency) hormones will be in flux during the weeks leading up until blood levels have stabilized (4-6 weeks TC/TE) and it is common to experience ups/downs during the transition as the body is trying to adjust. More importantly, once blood levels have stabilized (4-6 weeks TC/TE) it will still take time for the body to adapt to its new set-point (a few more months) and this is the critical time when one needs to gauge how they truly feel overall regarding relief/improvement of low-T symptoms and overall well-being. Every protocol needs to be given 12 weeks to claim whether it was truly a success or failure otherwise you will be left chasing your tail endlessly searching for that so-called magical optimal! Patience is key. Do not get caught up on that more T is better mentality spewed on all those other forums. Have realistic expectations especially when it comes to libido/erectile function! [/QUOTE]
