[QUOTE="teehee, post: 158202, member: 39089"] So I'm at 2 months of injection and 4+ months overall of TRT. Still not getting consistent results. There was a brief period month where I was feeling better, but it was short lived. At that time I had more energy for the gym, motivation, libido, drive etc. Currently, I'm basically back at my baseline for all the above symptoms. I'm doing 50 mg Test 3x /week IM. I was doing 350 hcg x3 week but I dropped it to see if it was part of the problem. Kind of lost as to what to do next. I tried calling Defy but basically was told I should get my labs done early and ask the provider to increase the dose next time. But IDK if a higher dose is the answer for me as 150 is a fairly high level already. Some thoughts: - I wonder if my super low SHBG is related to my inability to get consistent results. I've tried taking berberine and Metformin to increase SHBG, we'll see if it's any higher at the next labs but no symptomatic improvement yet. - I noticed I feel much worse when I do subq. I know it doesn't make sense, but it subq just feels like I'm injecting saline into the fat. IM seems to be the way to go for me. - I tried doing daily subq in the beginning, but I felt absolutely nothing. IM seems to work better for me. Would appreciate any thoughts people have. [/QUOTE]
