[QUOTE="RobDutch, post: 141693, member: 38493"] Hi everyone, Also just new here and would like to have some advice, i am just about a year on TRT. Started out with compounded TD cream 10% (8 pumps per day = appr. 2,4 grams actual Test absorbed was 10%) in the beginning it raised my levels and felt good, after 7 months started to feel become worse again and did lab works and there it showed my TT levels dropped from 8438 ng/L till 3731 ng/L. See attached bloodwork) So my doctor thought my skin was not absorbing the TD cream optimal any more. So we decided to switch to IM first 250mg every 2 weeks, did this and got the following results (second attachment) PS. bloodwork was done at day 10 after injection. Than i learned from this side and see that frequently injections provide better/steady level. So after last lab work om 21-12-2018 i started from first week in january to IM with +/- 60 mg every 3,5 days (Sunday evenings and Thursday mornings) Next week hursday 21-03-2019 i will do another labwork still with 2 x pw IM injection @ 60mg (120mg weekly) My current protocol is every 3,5 day IM with 60mg Testoviron every day after injection 0,25mg Arimidex (so twice a week) every day 120mg erfa Thyroid every day 7,5mg prednisolone every day 30mg DHEA every day 3mg copper (as it was lowish) every week 1 small vial D-cure to raise Vitamin D every day 22,5mg zinc As i'am not a fan of IM and read on so many forums that SQ or shallow IM with 1/2" insuline needle is a preferred way to go, i will after my next lab work (next week) continue with every 3,5 days with 60mg SQ or Shallow IM About my symptoms; I think i'am still not dialed in to my sweet spot, - as my sleep is still far from good. (sleep average 5-6 hours, and wake up a few times a night) - don't wake up very energized in the morning - Although i do CrossFit 5 x per week, my diet/food is i guess in order with Macro's but very difficult to loose fat from chest and lovehandles etc. anyone that would like to contribute to my views or my protocols are welcome, as most people on the forum we're all here to learn from eachother.
