[QUOTE="50BMGdoesitforme, post: 175278, member: 40220"] Thanks for all the replies, gents. I changed over to SubQ after reading Doc Crisler's book "Testosterone Replacement Therapy" - he devotes a whole chapter to SubQ and it seems to be working pretty well for me. Not that I'm adverse to doing whatever I need to do. Happy to share my labs - here's a few things from just before starting TRT: T: 232 E2: 24 DHEA: 264 SHBG: 25 2 months later on 100mg x2 IM, 500iu HCG SubQ x2: T: 1100 E2: 58 Started 1/2 Anastrazole/wk 4 months later: T:>1500 E2: 56 Started 1 Anastrazole/wk 1 month later dropped to 70mg x2 IM 1 month after that, blood work day before injection: T: 797 E2: 22 1 month later: tried 60mgx2 SubQ, intending to try for 1 month, hated it, lasted 1 week 1 week later: tried 70mgx2 SubQ and daily 100iu HCG. Improved libido and sexual function some. 1 month after that (now): T: 526 E2: 31 (not totally sure it was ultrasensitive, may be wrong test, but I'm not hugely worried about E2 especially with a lower T dose) As you can see, I've not tested SHBG since I started or free testosterone ever. I've been using PrivateMDLabs' Female Hormone Panel because it's fairly expansive and it's only around $70. Is there a good value out there for a test that includes free test? Also SHBG? Finally, I would be interested to see the difference in peak vs. trough - is it worth doing a separate total T test (only about $30) the day after injection? I will say that I've never felt better or worse on certain days in my injection cycle like some guys report - pretty much constant. Of course I had no symptoms of low T except ED - and in hindsight, I was tired all the time but didn't realize it - so I know I may react to everything differently than most. Guys, I truly appreciate all the help - thank you very much!!! [/QUOTE]
