Pressure headaches, can it be test Cyp

He has now cut me down to .3ml (60mg) once a week.....

He says he put me on the 160mg (.4ml x Reece week) jus to push up my levels as I was 230ngdl prior to 1st injection, I dunno maybe that's just his excuse for putting me on such a high dose

Either way, I am now on .3ml (60mg) once a week, so all your comments guys, I'm gonna give it a few weeks an test trough level before next injection an see where it sits

Thanks all

This would make no difference let alone justify throwing you on 160 mg T/week off the hop.

Again the standard starting dose those in the know is 100 mg T/week across the board.

Most men on TTh are injecting anywhere from 100-200 mg T/week.

The majority of men can easily hit a healthy let alone high trough FT injecting 100-150 mg T/week especially when split into more frequent injections.

Yes there are those outliers who may need the high-end dose 200 mg T/week but it is far from common as in RARE!

There are also men who can hit good levels injecting <100 mg T especially when split into more frequent injections.

Again you are hitting a high trough TT 1067 ng/dL on your current protocol 100 mg T/week and chances are your trough FT is high-end/high.

Unfortunately you never had the most important blood marker free testosterone tested so you have no idea where it truly sits.

Regardless you can use the linear law-of-mass action cFTV and plug in different SHBG (low-high) and with a very high trough TT 1067 ng/dL your FT would be on the higher-end even if you had a high SHBG 60 nmol/L!
 
Apologises, this should read, .225ml once a week is 50mg weekly

If you are dead set on lowering your dose further it would be more sensible to lower your weekly dose by 20-30 mg and stick with the twice-weekly injection protocol.

Lowering the weekly dose 20-30 mg will have a big impact on bringing down your trough TT/FT.

Cutting your dose of T in half 100--->50 mg T is too drastic a move off the hop let alone injecting once weekly will not cut it when it comes to achieving a healthy trough FT!

Keep in mind the downfall to injecting once weekly is there will be a drastic difference in the peak--->trough and blood levels will not be as stable throughout the week which can easily have a negative impact on mood, energy, libido and erectile function.

Again it would be wise to test your free testosterone so you can see where it truly sits.
 
I personally had strange headaches with any type of injectable testosterone. Compounded scrotal cream has been a game changer for me. Been on it over a year consistently.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
