TRT Dose question

I remember envying your success on 1x weekly 60mg. Loved the simplicity of it.

Since you seem to do well on it other than first 1-2 days, I would agree with some of the other posters to a modest dose reduction with moving to 2x weekly to blunt that peak.
Yeah I was doing great until staring that statin and somehow it has raised my T levels verified with labs
 
Your protocol after all these years seems a bit daft to me. I’m on 80mg/wk split EOD and sub Q. (Test Cyp) I would imagine my peaks and troughs are pretty smooth on that basis. I certainly don’t have definable good/bad days like you describe, and my bloods are bang on.
 
I decided to do 50mg this shot a few days ago and already feel much better. I think the statin decreased shbg causing my levels at 60mg to be higher. I hope it continues because until the statin, I felt fantastic for years on once weekly 60mg.
 
I was curious, so I went ahead and got labs on 50 mg per week. It has only been three weeks but I am feeling much better in all regards. I was surprised how high the levels still are and this is day seven in the morning of my shot before my shot. Definitely goes to show in someone like myself, a little goes a long way.

Good news that you are feeling better. Are you still experiencing crappiness day after injection? Are you going to stick with 1x per week shallow IM?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
