[QUOTE="Jerajera, post: 231601, member: 40995"] Have you ever tried an actual TRT dose? I'm all for keeping protocols reasonable, I'm feeling the best I've felt in a long time on just 100mg/week in 2 injections, but 3mg/day is ridiculously low. You're most likely ending up with lower levels than you had naturally. There was a study on the effects of Testosterone on fat free mass among other things, with dosages of 25, 50, 125, 300 and 600 mg/week. The men on 25mg/week ended up actually losing fat free mass, indicating that once their natural production was shut down they ended up with lower levels than pre exogenous supplementation. The men on 50mg/week barely sustained whatever fat free mass they had previously: [URL='https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/ajpendo.2001.281.6.E1172?rfr_dat=cr_pub++0pubmed&url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori%3Arid%3Acrossref.org']https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/ajpendo.2001.281.6.E1172?rfr_dat=cr_pub++0pubmed&url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org[/URL] Even on 6mg/day you're only at 42mg/week. Take out the ester and you're around 28mg/week of actual Testoterone, or 4mg/day. That's close to the very bottom of the currently accepted (whatever that means) 3-10mg/day range of endogenous Testosterone production in a healthy young man. I'm pretty sure I would feel absolutely horrible on 3mg/day, probably 6mg/day also. If you've never tried, give 100mg/week a shot, 50mg twice/week. Give it a real chance by staying on that for 6-8 weeks unless your blood pressure (which you will be monitoring on a daily basis) and resting heart rate go into a dangerous zone. Try not to overthink every single symptom during that 6-8 week period. Keep an eye on BP and RHR and try to focus on other things. [/QUOTE]
