[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 205907, member: 38109"] I agree with [USER=15832]@Systemlord[/USER]. Because your SHBG is somewhat below average you may well benefit from injecting more often and from lowering the dose. Rough estimates put your peak testosterone on E3.5D dosing at a little over 1,000 ng/dL, and the average around 800-900 ng/dL. With a 20% dose reduction you will likely still have higher free testosterone than the average healthy young man. I think it's useful to have some dose-response measurements while on frequent injections—when serum testosterone stays fairly constant. That is, you measure total testosterone and SHBG. It's likely that free testosterone, whether calculated or measured accurately, is proportional to dose size. With the constant of proportionality you can then predict the effects of different doses. For me, TRT with hCG is better than without, but there are tradeoffs, probably due to the extra aromatization promoted by hCG. In particular it's worth having a baseline prolactin measurement so you can see if it's going up over time. [/QUOTE]
