So its been quite a journey.
48 165ish, 5'6". Always had low free T so I decided to start the journey to optimize. I've posted before, this is my update, thanks for all the previous insight. I can provide other markers if anyone things they are valuable
I started at 120mgs 6 months ago, ended up woth total T over 1500 and didnt think that was good or necessary. Now starting to get dialed in after a lot of trial and error.
100mg sub q 2x a week
T - 1245
E - 77/68 sensitive
SHBG - 60
Albumin 4.6
DHEA - 118
80mg sub q 2x a week (terrible ride down but felt ok after a month)
T - 826
E - 37/22 sensitive
SHBG - 47
Albumin 4.4
DHEA - 154
90mg sub q 3x a week (thinking to meet in the middle close to 1000 and keep E and SHBG down)
T - 1253
E - 39/pending result sensitive
SHBG - 61
Albumin 4.5
DHEA - 28 (stopped taking 25mg if that matters)
I realize free T is very important so I want to address that, but the primary complaint is sleep!! Adding in Sermorelin didn't help much so I am trying CJC/IPA stack. I'm pretty sure the 1200+ total T is not helping my good nights sleep, not is it needed! Im feeling good in the gym, I am making tiny but gradual gains, my diet is on, and I am trying to do everything right, I feel I am so close to being dialed in. I am titrating down to 84 3x a week (easy to measure), but I am not even sure the frequency matters as much as the dose because I am not sure I felt that different day 3.5 between 2 doses. I tested on Mon fasted with the same trough I'm pretty sure, so timing was similar. I had a terrible drop from 100 to 80 so I am being careful about any drastic fluctuations.
What are your thoughts, any advise or assistance, ill take it!
