My Urologist finally prescribed me 180mg/week of test Cypionate, and stated the dose as 0.9ml. Does that jive with 180mg per week?
Suddenly confused about some numbers

Want to do TRT
I'm 69 and my t is too high for insurance to pay for trt, but I have all the symptoms of low t. I'm not taking any statins, BP meds or other prescriptions other than I've been seeing a Uro for a few years and have been using Trimix for ED, but that has become the least of my concerns. I don't...

Post your pre-trt labs?
TT, FT, estradiol, SHBG.....CBC (which includes hemoglobin/hematocrit).
I would rethink starting off on 180 mg T/week.
Such dose will most likely have your TT/FT level too high let alone the downfall of injecting once weekly is that your peak TT/FT/estradiol levels will be sky-high post-injection (8-12 hrs)/elevated during the first few days only to be followed by much lower levels come weeks end .
There will be a big difference in peak--->trough level and blood levels will not be as stable throughout the week which can have a negative impact on energy/mood/libido/erectile function.
Top it off that use of exogenous T will increase your hemoglobin/hematocrit.
More sensible to start low and go slow as you have absolutely no idea how your body will react to testosterone.
100mg T/week split (50 mg every 3.5 days) would be a good starting point.
Most men can easily achieve a high-end let alone absurdly high FT on 100-150 mg T/week.....and yes even men with highish/high SHBG.

I agree 180mg for a starting dosage is likely setting you up for failure. If I were you I would start out at 100-120mg split up 1-2x weekly and it's not unheard of to see some men below 100mg per week.

Post up your labs: TT, FT, estradiol, SHBG let alone CBC (includes hemoglobin/hematocrit).
Definitely a smart move but again 180 mg T/week let alone split twice weekly (90 mg every 3.5 days) is too high a starting dose off the hop!
Again most can easily achieve a healthy (high-end) let alone absurdly high trough FT on 100-150 mg T spit twice weekly.
Start low and go slow.....100-120 mg T/week split twice weekly (50-60 mg every 3.5 days) would be a more sensible move.
