[QUOTE="madman, post: 124325, member: 13851"] Start low and go slow is the best piece of advice. It is common for one to feel good when first starting trt as not only are you injecting exogenous testosterone but you are still producing testosterone endogenously as shutdown of the hpta does not happen immediately. During the first 6 weeks you may experience feeling good in the beginning only to be followed by feeling sub par as your hpta shutsdown and it may turn out that the dose you were started on is not enough to get your testosterone levels where they need to be. Also understand that it takes 6 weeks for blood levels to stabilize and most of the smart treating physicians will start a patient with a reasonable testosterone dose as oppose to the t-mills which start patients on too high a dose which can lead to issues. Testosterone is powerful and the body needs time to adapt. One should not expect miracles when first starting trt and anytime a protocol (dose/injection frequency) is started whether one is first getting on trt or already on trt and adjusting their protocol it takes 6 weeks for blood levels to stabilize before lab work is done to see how said dose effects your TT, FT, SHBG, e2 among other health markers and of course how the patient is feeling overall regarding low t symptoms.....than and only than will your doctor decide whether a dose increase is needed. You just need to tough it out as you are in good hands with Defy as they treat 1000s of patients and are well versed in trt! [/QUOTE]
