[QUOTE="Bishop, post: 63707, member: 12176"] Just wanted to share what I experienced through my first year of TRT as I thought some may find it interesting or helpful. I started with an initial total test that hovered between 250 and 350 from my early 20s to 40 when I decided to start. I started with 200mg a week from my doctor. Injected subq/shallow muscle twice a week 100mg each time. I rotated injection spots between glutes, thighs, and shoulder. Initial blood test was about 1100 at peak and 800 in the trough. Continued this and second blood test had me at about 1600 peak and 1200 in the trough so we went to every 4 days same dosage. During this time I experienced a good amount of testicular shrinkage and my sperm turned clear. Next blood test still showed 1100 in the trough so we went to 90mg every 4 days. Once again my level was still steady at 1100 the day before my next injection. So, at this point I've experienced a fair amount of fat loss and some muscle gain combined with strength training and cleaning up my diet. All blood levels have stayed in a good range and the main side effects were some acne, a lot of body hair growth, and strangely a much thicker beard. A main thing of note is that I felt better in the trough than I did after my injections so based on that fact we have lowered it again to 70mg every 4 days. At this level I feel much better all the time. My testicles have regained most of their size and my sperm is no longer clear but totally white. I don't have a blood test yet at this level to know where my Testosterone is in the trough but from the symptoms this seems to be much closer to my perfect level. It is without question true that more is definitely not always better because I fee much much better on a lower dosage. Better libido, better energy, and better mood. I never needed an estrogen control throughout the treatment. Hope that helps some people just getting started. [/QUOTE]
