[QUOTE="Bentiger07, post: 156060, member: 13543"] I wouldnt paint a broad brush on the issue and say 10mg’s the magic formula. I think if your SHBG’s low, start with either 1 of 2 methods (after speaking with doc): -Start from the avg of what most daily injectors are doing. From what I gathered, people are mostly doing anywhere from 9-18mg daily (successfully). Middle point would be about 13-14mg a day and then after some weeks (unsure how many weeks as I believe that depends on not just halflife, but possibly SHBG level as well? I think about 3-6 weeks will do), evaluate symptoms. Titrate down or up based on symptoms. -Start around 9mg daily and then after some weeks, start evaluating how you feel. IF needed, move up by adding in an extra 2mg every 3-6 weeks. Depending on your budget, get lab values every 3-15 weeks to aid that process. Minimize tissue damage with a smaller needle. If inconvenience of injecting daily is a factor, you can test EOD next. Im no expert in this and just going on some experience and the little I gathered. Not even sure if 10 days is long enough to start evaluating symptoms but from what I read, regular guys get reach a stable level about 4-5weeks. [/QUOTE]
