[QUOTE="madman, post: 219757, member: 13851"] More like 4-6 weeks when using TE/TC. Whether starting trt 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). During the transition, it is common for many to experience ups/downs as the body is trying to adjust and things tend to settle down 4-5 weeks in. Even then once 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. He has been on his most recent protocol for 30 days and his levels would be fairly stable by then. He is hitting a high trough TT 897ng/dL with an SHBG 33 nmol/L. His trough FT would be high. I would put more weight behind the crashed ferritin/thyroid.
