[QUOTE="Aki, post: 135682, member: 14084"] As I mentioned above, he decided to start me off on one shot every [B]two weeks[/B]. And he said he was open to increasing it, by reviewing labs taken before the third shot. And I am getting my hands on the ampules themselves, so if needed I'll just learn how to self-administer if needed. I don't know what the reason is, but it seems many endos use this (250mg/three weeks, with possible dosage adjustment after three shots) as a standard protocol. Maybe it's what their textbooks teach them, and maybe they don't want to rock the boat or get into trouble or whatever. My doctor doesn't claim to be a TRT expert, and I'm pretty sure there aren't any exclusively TRT experts where I live (it's a very small country). I'm just happy he doesn't roll his eyes when I use my Internet-gained knowledge and does actually listen to what I have to say. [B]So I am going along with his protocol for now (one shot every two weeks) because doing otherwise would straightaway send the signal that I have a bad opinion of him.[/B] I had my labs done today, and am planning to take my first shot today or tomorrow. So if right before the third shot when I do labs again if things turn out how I (pessimistically) expect them to (low subjective benefit, low T and high estradiol) I will suggest it might be because of low SHBG and maybe he should try high-frequency+low-dose. And that my thyroid numbers aren't too peaky either. [/QUOTE]
