[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 108145, member: 18023"] Nebido takes 5 months to reach steady state, so in 30 days you should be above your starting TT level, but sub-optimal. After the 5 months, I don't think you should ever get sub-optimal, though how does one define sub-optimal? All I know from personal experience is that I started from a baseline of ~376 ng/dl, I tested ~22 months after starting, my TT was 635 ng/dl (348-1197) and 32 months after starting my TT was 902 ng/dl (348-1197) and FT 27.9 ng/ng (5-21). This was with the old labcorp ranges. As I read the forum, many take even longer than the 5 months to get "dialed in", though they could be the exception. Maybe a lot of guys get it right from the get go. I think one of the big disadvantages of something like Nebido or Aveed is it takes a long time to adjust your TT levels if they aren't what you want. I suppose one could always combine a gel or testosterone cypionate (TC) to even out the beginning swings in the first 5 months, though I suspect it might be a little tricky about how much and when to use the gel or TC in combo with TU. And testosterone undecanoate (TU) is always a deep IM injection, since it is 4ml / 3 ml respectively. Not to mention, Aveed is pretty (outrageously) expensive if you can't get insurance to pay for it, and Nebido takes a little jumping through hoops to get in the USA. Price for Nebido is around $120-$150 USD for 4ml ampule. Money and availability is always a concern for most of us. [/QUOTE]
