[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 186675, member: 38109"] "In range" for lab results doesn't mean optimal. You should post your results to get some additional feedback. For example, in some cases above-average, but "normal" prolactin is problematic. If you did well on testosterone cream then you might try a hybrid approach: lower the injection doses, perhaps even more than discussed, and apply a small daily dose of cream to the scrotum where there's less risk of contaminating others. It's true that it takes months to stabilize with testosterone undecanoate. However, if you simply changed from IM to SC at about the same overall dose then the perturbation is smaller and there's less chance of experiencing large subjective improvements going forward. If SHBG doesn't change then it's not unreasonable to assume that total serum testosterone is going to be roughly proportional to dose. To use your current numbers, let's assume that your total testosterone will rise to 1,200 ng/dL before stabilizing, because it's only been nine weeks. Using proportionality, your dose to achieve 700 ng/dL would be 700 / 1,200 * 25 mg TU/d = 14.6 mg TU/d = 0.06 mL TU/d @ 250 mg/mL. So essentially it's a dose reduction of 40% to achieve a similar reduction in total serum testosterone. [/QUOTE]
