[QUOTE="madman, post: 90836, member: 13851"] Why would they start you on 150mg/week (50mg M/W/F) that is a rather high starting dose for injectable? 100mg/week (50mg every 3.5 days) would have been a sufficient starting dose as even after 6 weeks if your total/free t was still some what low and you did not feel any improvements the dose could be increased slightly. You had e2 issues on transdermal so be prepared as your estradiol will shoot up on 150mg/week, even spreading out your injections 50mg M/W/F but because you are already using a.i. should be no issue managing but I would prefer to try a lower t dose and possibly avoid use of an aromatase inhibitor. Sure your e2 was high on transdermal but your total/free t were also rather low which combined with the high e2 was a recipe for negative issues. Using injectable you would easily reach a higher total/free t and even if your e2 rose it may be balanced out by your T:E ratio as many do ok with higher e2 as long as total/free t are on the higher end and can avoid the use of an a.i. Regardless you are in good hands with Defy. Would have been a smarter move to start low and go slow. Well you are 2.5 weeks in so we will see in 6 weeks after your labs are done how that dose effects your total/free t,e2 and hematocrit among other health markers. Best of luck hoping for positive outcome! [/QUOTE]
