[QUOTE="madman, post: 127843, member: 13851"] If anything seeing as your SHBG is so low you will need to inject daily or EOD to achieve more stable testosterone levels. On 80 mg/week (40 mg every 3.5 days) your TT is still sub-par although testing was done at the wrong time as testing 12 hrs post injection is pointless and labs should be done at trough just before your next injection to truly see where your TT, FT and e2 (sensitive assay) sit. Peak testosterone levels are usually 24-48 hrs post injection and I would say closer to 24 hrs. Although TT is good to know there is no point in dwelling over it as FT is what truly matters since it is the unbound active fraction of testosterone responsible for the positive effects. Seeing as your SHBG is low you will not need to run a high TT in order to achieve a healthy FT. Most men do well having their FT 2-3% of TT. Whether your FT needs to be mid or high in the physiological range?.....by gauging how you feel along the way and only when you start experiencing relief/improvement of low t symtoms along with blood work will you know what levels you feel best at! Since your doctor is only prescribing you 80 mg/week (injecting 40 mg every 3.5 days) and you are still feeling shitty due to your protocol (dose/injection frequency) it would seem more sensible to inject 12 mg daily (84 mg/week) as the miniscule 4 mg weekly will should not make a difference in your prescription running out too soon as you were prescribed 80 mg. Sure 12 mg daily may still turn out being too low of a dose but your testosterone levels will definitely be more stable and depending on how you feel overall during this protocol change once levels have stabilized and in 6 weeks when blood work is done you will know if the dose needs to be increased slightly.
