[QUOTE="madman, post: 86864, member: 13851"] You are just starting your second week on 100mg/week as others have stated you need to give it 6 weeks for testosterone levels to build/stabilize than have blood work done to see how that particular dose affects your total t/free t/estradiol and there are many other health markers that are critical especially a complete cbc including hemoglobin/hematocrit. The first 6 weeks are tough and you may experience ups than downs due to your hpta shutting down. Sure more frequent injections with smaller doses of testosterone would make sense seeing as your shbg is low but you just did your second 100mg/week injection so I would just stick with that protocol for 6 weeks see how you feel overall and how that dose/protocol affects your hormones/health markers and if things do not look good than try more frequent injection protocol but do not jump into 25mg every day. Depending on how frequently you plan on injecting every week figure out what dose of testosterone you would need to total 100mg/week as it is better to start low and go slow than have blood work in 6 weeks and reassess from there on how that particular dose/protocol affects your hormones/health markers and if you are experiencing any improvements from your low t symptoms- libido/erections/energy/mood than decide whether you need to increase your testosterone dose or again inject more frequently. It may seem very frustrating in the beginning but there are so many things to look at and you need to develop a basic understanding of what is critical to look at and monitor regarding labs/symptom improvement when on trt. Certain low t symptoms will take time to improve where as others may be noticeable after getting through the first 6 week hump (honeymoon period for most). Most eventually do well once they attain mid/normal or high/normal physiological testosterone levels with their free t and estradiol (e2) in a healthy range along with other hormones and for some it may be quicker than others but with if you learn as much as you can and take the time to try and understand what is involved when implementing a proper trt protocol everything will work out in due time.
