[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 113092, member: 16042"] This is not relevant to my comment about having blood drawn at trough. The trough is when you blood T level is at its lowest right before your next dose. So if you are injecting say on Monday morning 1x/ week, you should be having blood drawn early Monday morning, before you take your injection. Good you have this self knowledge, but you HAVE to learn this. As stated, 1 dose per week is usually problematic and this is pretty much assured for someone with your SHBG. Your dosage frequency depends entirely on you SHBG level. You HAVE to study this and understand it. One 200mg dose per week is not appropriate for you. Yes, it is a lot of information and can take time to learn and understand. You NEED to do so! There are numerous red flags that your doctor does not know what he/she is doing in terms of your treatment. You have to take responsibility for yourself in this regard. No one else will do it for you. These two statements entirely contradict each other. If your T cypionate is 200mg per ML then 1 ml equals 200mg, NOT 1000mg. If you are injecting 1ml per week of 200mg/mg solution you are getting a single dose of 200mg per week. This is a high dose and this level very commonly causes problems: High estradiol and hematocrit being the main ones,. Reasonable initial dose is usually 100mg per week to 150mg per week divided into number of doses based on SHBG. The lower the SHBG the more frequent the dosing. This is good. You should leave that doctor. Again, there are many red flags in your treatment indicating your doctor has no clue how to manage your TRT. Unfortunately it is very rare for an endocrinologist to have this knowledge. The traditional standards of endocrinology are seriously outdated, and old treatment protocols often do more harm than good. You need a specialist who actually understands up to date TRT issues. Finding that person can be a huge challenge. [/QUOTE]
