[QUOTE="madman, post: 274077, member: 13851"] Hormones will be in flux during the weeks leading up until blood levels have stabilized (4-6 weeks TC/TE) and it is common for many to experience ups/downs during the transition as the body is trying to adjust. Would not get too caught up on the shutdown of the hpta over the following weeks as a descent starting T dose is all that matters. The standard starting dose is 100 mg T once weekly and many may fare better splitting the weekly dose and injecting twice weekly. Some may choose to start a little lower and again split your weekly dose into twice-weekly which clips the peak--->trough and results in more stable blood levels throughout the week. Pick a sensible starting protocol (dose of T/injection frequency) and stick with it! Get labs done at the 6-week mark so you can see where said protocol (dose of T/injection frequency) has your trough TT, FT, estradiol let alone other blood markers SHBG, and CBC which includes RBCs, hemoglobin, and hematocrit.
