[QUOTE="madman, post: 113716, member: 13851"] The more important questions would be what is your shbg as this will dictate your dose/injection frequency and what is your free t as even though total is good to know free t is what truly matters as it is the active fraction of testosterone. Most have blood work done at 6 weeks when T levels have stabilized. As far as optimal I would not get caught up in total t numbers as what is optimal for you may not be optimal for others. It will come down to what dose/injection frequency of testosterone is needed for one to attain healthy testosterone levels (TT/free T) whether in the mid-normal or high-normal of the physiological range along with healthy levels of e2 in order for one to experience relief/improvement from low t symptoms. Even though once weekly injections may work for someone with mid-high normal shbg it is not ideal and splitting weekly dose by injecting every 3.5 days will help one achieve stable levels throughout the week. On average many will do well injecting every 3.5 days unless ones shbg is low/low normal than ideally most would do better injecting EOD or daily. You need to know your shbg and free t as it is critical to an effective trt protocol. If you are only injecting 150mg/week and your TT trough is 600 than your levels will be much higher post injection as testosterone levels wil peak 24 -48 hrs after injection. No one can say what your peak levels would be and the only way to truly know is to have blood work done. How do you feel overall at 4 weeks in? [/QUOTE]
