[QUOTE="Jerajera, post: 240389, member: 40995"] You shouldn't do anything until you run labs. Assuming you're not absorbing well is unwarranted speculation at this point. If this is your first time on TRT, you could be feeling temporarily worse because your natural production is shutting down. You could have elevated E2 leading to negative side effects. Typically you should be able to run labs as soon as you reach steady state, which for the gels/cream is going to happen quickly given the very short half-life. However if you weren't already taking exogenous Test before this current protocol, you have to take into account the shutdown of your natural production and wait long enough, or else you won't get accurate lab results. I'd say wait another 2-3 weeks unless you get really nasty side effects, and get labs done. Make sure you get comprehensive labs and the most accurate assays (LC/MS, equilibrium dialysis, etc...). There are plenty of posts on that, ask if you're not sure. Make sure you keep track of your blood pressure, this is realistically the only thing you potentially have to worry about at this point. I unfortunately don't know about gel dosages, maybe someone else can chime in about the specific dosage you're on. [/QUOTE]
