[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 253695, member: 43589"] I agree with you and judging from my free and total test levels I definitely need to increase the dose. Again, the issue I have is I am not 100% sure to this point if it was the TC that caused my HCT to be so out of whack or if it is just age. So I don't want to get carried away with going up too fast and create a mess. I got tired of doing blood dumps twice a month and worrying about getting another DVT. Since the half life of TU is about 20 days depending on the oil, it is much harder to clean up mistake in dosing. The thing about TC is it peaks quickly in the blood stream and even with the residual left at the next injection the blood reaches peak saturation quickly and never goes any higher. For instance with the TC, the lowest amount in the blood (ester only) is 48mg and the high stays at 71mg as long as I continue dosing 40mg ever 5 days. With the TU the trough gradually increases to 147mg over time and the peak slowly increases to 167mg after about 6 months. This is why I don't want to go up too quickly. This every 5 days sub-q is much different that doing 750mg at one time every 4 weeks where the peak (400mg ester only) and tough (137mg) will be much greater, quicker. By the 2nd injection the peak shoots up to 970mg. So despite me wanting to do more, I am hesitant. This is completely new territory for me. But I recognize that I may have to do this if there are no issues with unhealthy side effects. Appreciate the glucose comments. I also have diabetes in my family Most all of the people in my side of the family have type II diabetes. I am the oldest. The one thing I do that none of my family has ever done is lift weights. Type II muscles and high intensity exercise are very glucose dependent. [/QUOTE]
