If you read the above post, please tell me your thoughts on this. I hate to keep switching my protocol, and I can tell it concerns a lot of the people on this forum about how many times I do it, but I still don’t feel right and I feel that the temporary hormonal imbalance is necessary in the best interests of my long term health.
I’ve read this post a long time ago and got the idea that I might be taking too much T. I want to be smart about this, so please hear me out and tell me what you think. Also, I want everyone to know that I wouldn’t make these changes without consulting my doctor.
I think the first step is to get a new sex hormone blood test including TT, FT, E2, DHT, SHBG. I want to see where my levels stand right now. The only time I’ve gotten this tested showed that my TT was 512 6 days after a 200mg injection. This makes me think that my levels should be ~900+ all the time with my daily injections. While I know everyone is different, many guys feel optimal around 700, and I think I need to give lower levels an honest shot, since I still don’t feel optimal. Rather than keep pushing the threshold with more drugs, I think I should make cuts.
Depending on my levels, of course, I will then make a cut accordingly. Say my TT is 1000, and I want to try getting it to 650. I will calculate 1000/210=650/136.5. I’ll call it 140 for numbers sake. Then, I’ll decrease my dose to 140 weekly, and stay on this dose til levels stabilize and I can get new labs. I’ll also evaluate how I feel and go from there.
This plan isn’t set in stone, and I’d really appreciate feedback on this.
