[QUOTE="madman, post: 195686, member: 13851"] If you are hitting a trough (7 days post-injection) TT 1079 ng/dl then with an SHBG 42 nmol/L your FT will still be on the higher end let alone peak TT/FT levels will be much higher post-injection (8-12 hrs)/during the first few days which will also have your e2 through the roof! The main downfall of injecting larger doses of T once weekly especially IM is there will be a big difference in peak--->trough levels. TT/FT levels will be very high post-injection (8-12 hrs) and elevated during the first few days only to be followed by much lower levels come weeks end which can have a negative impact on energy/mood/libido/erections/recovery. Although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of testosterone responsible for the positive effects. You are missing one of the most critical tests! No brainer here that your FT level is going to be very high on such protocol (140 mg/week) yet you are struggling with issues let alone trying to manage estradiol with an AI. You would most likely do better switching to more frequent injections as in twice weekly and lowering your overall T dose slightly. The only way to know where your FT truly sits on such protocol (dose T/injection frequency) is to have it tested using the most accurate assays such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best).
