[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 53218, member: 2624"] There is no reason to measure your testosterone at the mid-point of an injection cycle. What are your SHBG levels? They impact the success of your cycle - the lower the recorded value, the more need for frequent and smaller injections. Capturing your testosterone prior to next injection lets you and your doctor know what you're looking at in terms of your response to the prior injection. The vast majority of doctors with knowledge of the ins and outs TRT will start patients on two injections per week of testosterone, every 3.5 days. Not all men need this, a point to keep in mind, but most of us respond best to multiple injections (every 3.5 days, every other day, or a very few - I am one - every day). Remember this as you move down the hormone highway. As to the reason he suggested you test at mid-point, it may be simply because he's not well informed. Most doctors, despite board certifications, know very little about androgen replacement. That includes endocrinologists and far too many urologists. Here at EM the vast majority of our members, almost all of us, had terrible protocols prescribed by inept doctors. We had to fight to find good care; most of us have. We we hope you'll be an active member here. Please stay in touch. [/QUOTE]
