LSU777 (and others)-what days are you testing your blood parameters?
i inject twice weekly, tuesdays and fridays. what would be most reflective of normal state or is twice a week enough to general be stable at any time. (no peaks and valleys or very little difference).

So Im just switching to self injection. I'm going to recieve preloaded syringes. I'm assuming those that break the dosage into smaller injections throughout the week draw their own dosage?

Yea we get the multi use via, draw needles, syringes with injection needle.

Experts, need yall thoughts on this. Labs In October were on 140mg/wk and current labs were on 160mg/wk. My goal was to get free T up to around 200 to see how I’d feel. Well it went in reverse. The only variable was that I did a workout before getting these drawn and I’ve lost 50# since October. Does a workout before drop you test or is that bro science? FYI I pen on Mondays and Thursdays and these were taken Pre injection on a Thursday morning at 8am.

i mean what you are seeing is natural fluctuations and nothing to be concerned about at all. if you had went from say 975/149 to 600/85 then i would say oh yea....something changed.
sounds like you have been in a slight caloric deficit for a while with that 50 lbs weight loss so shgb may be slightly more elevated. nothing to be concerned about though really
and understand these being taken thursday morning, means you were in your valley so these are really good numbers
to get free test up I keep the dose at 160mg/wk and start taking 12-15mg of boron and see how that treats you, take in the morning.

Finally got in at the urologist on Thursday and he hit me with 300mg. I have to go back this Thursday for blood work to see what my levels are, and he said he will adjust and keep adjusting until we find the perfect dose. I felt great during the weekend. Had way more drive to want to get stuff done.

300mg/week?? To start? This urologist is a full send it type of MD

My Dr won't give it to me. My test was 537 and 453 the last two times they checked it. I was hoping it would help with my lack of energy.
Don’t feel too bad. I had a number of 305 and 330 and the urologist told me I “looked good” and that the low numbers had nothing to do with lethargy, mood, lack of drive, or lack of libido. I walked away as baffled as I was pissed off. I’m considering trying to find a better doctor this year.

well, it was my first shot and it was one so far. He has me going back this week for blood work and to see.
My numbers were actually crazy low so...

I’m not trying to tell ya what to do but I’d do some research of my own if I were you. Majority of MD’s today are not up to date on TRT protocols and it sounds like you’ve got an ideal example. 300mg is a very high dose for TRT, hell 200mg is the top end that very few people require. You’re flirting with a blast at 300.
Posted on 2/26/24 at 8:48 am to Uncle JackD
My free test was 3.4 and my other number was 90. Thats why he hit me with 300mg.
Posted on 2/26/24 at 8:51 am to LSUDUCKMAN67
Hopefully it goes well for ya keep us posted
keep us posted Posted on 2/26/24 at 9:39 am to Uncle JackD
My report didn't show free test but I was low end of normal for my age. I have a follow up appointment March 1st. I'll ask him about test but the follow is probably due to cholesterol.

When I came off anabolics and androgens and hGH in 2015 I had to go to like 7 different MD's before I found one that had any clue about how to properly do this or even knew what half the compounds were that I was using. I typed up a sheet with the pharmaceutical name, generic name, and type of compound it was and every single one took that sheet and went to a computer to google. They had zero clue and all came back with a look of horror on their face like I had just murdered someone and gave me the "steroids are bad!!!" speech to which I said no shite which is why I am getting off of them but I need you to prescribe A, B, and C to me to do this correctly. None of them would prescribe anything. I ended up doing it myself. I wasted so much time. It was astounding to me how clueless they were.

Right. Like starting someone at 300mg/wk and re checking levels within 1 week.

Sorry if dumb question, but is trt the cause of the square big head. I know a couple guys on it and just got melons since.

I'm glad you ask that because I've always wondered that. I know several with the new melon head. One guy is in outstanding shape now but that head is huge.
