[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 113715"] Do you have to go to the clinic for the injections? Can you administer them yourself like many on TRT do? It is correct that once a week injections are not a very good protocol at all. If not yet, it will probably give you and emotional roller coaster, which is what your referred to with having very high levels at the just after your injections and very low levels toward the end of the week. Your peak will normally be 36 hrs to 48 hrs after the injection. Your Free T, Estradiol, and SHBG should determine what your specific individual protocol is. It sounds like you are in a T Mill where everyone gets the same protocol regardless of what their true need is. would not call this looking out for your best interest. You should really consider another doctor that will treat you properly. Four weeks was a little early to have blood work done because you have not yet reached a steady state. It takes approximately 40 days to reach a steady state because of the half life of cypionate, assuming you are on testosterone cypionate. Really, you should wait a minimum of 6 weeks, preferable 8 weeks for blood work. Between that 4th week, which you had blood work done, and week 8, your testosterone levels will continue to climb. Your probably not optimal for 5 days with one shot like you think. You aren't optimal until about 48 hours after the injection and then once it peaks the testosterone levels start declining each day. At best you are only optimal for maybe three days of the week. So, if you inject on Monday, your levels are low until then and will peak about Wednesday. Levels will remain high Wednesday and Thursday, probably above normal on Friday, and then drop below normal levels Saturday, Sunday and fall into the crapper on Monday. You injection on Monday and it starts all over. [/QUOTE]
