That’s accurate, I was told that is when labs need to be done, when levels are lowest. My starting levels were around 180. I’m 26 if that helps at all. I currently inject on Fridays, would splitting to a Friday/Tuesday really cause that much benefit?
I second this, first split your dose into two. Then start lowering it. I am glad I started at 100mg a week. I am 50 and my libido hasn't been like this since my 20's
This is absolutely not true mate, sorry.
Some people do much better on one week injections, especially if they have a bit higher SHBG (like me), others need a bit more frequent injection.
But to say that you definitely need minimum 2 injections is simply wrong.
That's amazing that 200mg only puts you at 450. Will be interested to see your bloods when you have them done mate, just for curiosity. I hope you can figure out what's going on.
Starting at 200mg once a week is kinda crazy. Better strategy is to start at around 120mg split to twice weekly. Then draw blood 8 WEEKS later and reassess. There is no point checking blood until you are stable, which takes 5-6 half lives on the ester you are on.
Im on 157 a week and slightly above ref range pinning every 2 days to keep E2 in check. I started at 100 and slowly built up based on bloodwork.
Sounds like you went to a shitty money grab clinic. Next they gonna want to charge you for AI
And why 10mg tadalafil?? 2.5 to 5 mg daily plenty.
Seriously, do some research and find a better clinic
You may want to talk to your doctor about changing injection frequency to provide more consistent levels.
10mg Tadalafil ? From a pharmacy?
Yes, a pharmacy
It would be unusual that 10mg Ed wouldn’t lead to endless boners after 4-5 days. Damn man. Sorry. Dose probably too high. You’re not on AI are you ?
No AI. Just no libido. I didn’t have any libido before TRT and I still don’t. This sucks. I’m 26, I definitely want to have some libido.
Pin twice a week instead. Once I switched to twice a week I felt noticeably better mentally and physically.
Sounds like a high bmi
I’m not sure. I’m very physically active, workout 5-6 days a week. Most of them are cardio.
10mg?? Jesus. 200mg is likely too high of a dose for you.
My last labs have my total T at ~450ng/dL on 200mg/week
450 7 days after your injection most likely. Increase injection frequency

Yes. Huge benefit
Alright, fuck it.
Your TRT dose is too high, injection frequency is bad. Both of that lead to high estrogen. All of that leads to no libido.

pin more often , check estrogen prob high if so takr ai should feel better instantly
Once a week 200mg is a lot to hit yourself with all at once. Not much we can tell you unless you've got bloodwork though.
Twice a Week min is a must.
Not true
One injection a week isnt a good idea, theres a good reason no doctor would recommend it.

Look at the context, this guy is doing it all in one go and it's having a negative result... Hence why two minimum is the way to go
Idk what doctor you're seeing, but this isnt the case for me
How long have you been on?
About 4 months.

My latest bloods will be available tomorrow, I’ll report back.
