[QUOTE="madman, post: 186887, member: 13851"] Horrible protocol starting on such as a whopping dose of T let alone once weekly as your TT/FT/e2 levels will be very high at the peak/early in the week and much lower come weeks end which for many can have a negative impact on energy/mood/libido/erectile function/recovery. Such a dose will also have a significant impact on driving up your RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit. Most men on trt are injecting 100-200mg/week and when starting it is much more sensible to start low and go slow. The main issue with injecting high doses of T once weekly is there will be a big difference in peak--->trough levels and blood levels will not be as stable throughout the week. If anything starting on a lower dose 100mg/week split into twice-weekly injections (50 mg every 3.5 days) as you will soften the peak--->trough let alone blood levels will be more stable. Such a protocol is commonly prescribed by some of those runs of the mill T-clinics you know the ones that put their patients on once-weekly injection/high dose of T and of course, throw a whopping dose of an AI to control possible e2 issues. Luckily you held off on the AI but do not be surprised when you have blood work done at 6 weeks and your TT/FT/e2 levels are very high. Was your SHBG tested as it is critical to know and can make or break a protocol? Hope it is not low/lowish otherwise you may be in for a wake-up call. [/QUOTE]
