[QUOTE="madman, post: 211286, member: 13851"] Much more to it than simply achieving a steady state! As I have stated numerous times on the forum whether starting trt or tweaking a protocol hormones will be in flux during the weeks leading up until blood levels have stabilized (4-6 weeks) and it is common for many to experience ups/downs during the transition as the body is trying to adjust. Even once blood levels have stabilized it will take time for the body to adapt to the new set-point and this is the critical time period when one should gauge how they truly feel overall regarding relief/improvement of low-t symptoms. Many fail to understand this and these are the individuals that end up tweaking their protocols every 6 weeks because they do not feel good. Unless one's blood levels were absurdly low (highly doubtful) 6 weeks in then a protocol change needs to be given [B][I]12 weeks to truly claim whether it was a success or failure.[/I][/B] The first 6 weeks can be very misleading and mean nothing when looking at the bigger picture. This is where many fail. Yes, at least you put in 9.5 weeks! [/QUOTE]
