Define “perfect”
Your levels are swinging buddy, if you’ve been on the same dosage for at least 6 weeks, this is a sign weekly injections will not work for you. I get palps after dosage changes or when levels are swinging on an injection frequency that’s inappropriate.
They were in the optimal range
I feel great otherwise. I’ve been on this dosage for 6 months now. But I am seriously considering taking 50-60mg every 3.5 days or so
As in the middle of the range provided by the lab doing the tests or something else?
One plus to higher SHBG is you likely won’t have issues with higher E2. I have mid-range SHBG (39.9) and actually feel better with higher estrogen levels (in relation to T).
It was based off lab values
Right for sure. I mean there is that but I am skeptical on how two weekly injections would work. But if the palps continue I will try it. They’ve been gone for hours. I’m not super concerned about it but don’t like it either. I’m not convinced it’s completely related to TRT. My dose is only 100mg and my FT is midrange at peak. It doesnt make much sense
It makes total sense. You are taking are taking a tiny dose and your T is probably pretty low at trough. Why only 100mg? You would likely feel like a new man on 150mg+. I could feel my heart beating out of my chest the first 6 or so weeks of TRT especially when I laid down. It goes away.

Haha it’s pretty bad what’s happening after such a short period of time starting . These vapes are not healthier than cigarettes form what I understand
I hear ya man. Thing is I’ve been on it for six months on the same protocol and this just started last week. I mean it makes no sense because it’s not Iike my levels are holy shit high. My TT is 1276 at peak but ft 124. That’s not super high
Oh bro you need more. Taking daily is the optimal solution. Sucks but it works for most. Or do eod. I would not be taking 100 if at peak it’s not even high. 150-200 is good for most. As dex stated
Be careful what you hear from better call Saul. Most of the vape related deaths are from THC coming from China. Turns out they may not care what they put in it. Still 33 people…

Get to the top of the range if you want to feel decent with high SHBG.
Still may be too low then. Post actual results and lab ranges. Usually people feel best with ft3 towards the top end of the range.
For sure. After sleeping on it I think you guys are right. Levels are swinging, most likely E2. So I think what I’m gonna try is 60mg every 3.5 days. I don’t think my doc will care about me upping my dose 10mg each shot. I just don’t think 50 will do it with my shgb. I’m intrigued to see how I will feel. No palps today so there is that. Technically I would be due for a 60mg shot tonight but I took 100 Sunday. So I assume I should wait until next Sunday to start this new regimen?
Word of advice e2 is not your problem it’s hormones. Body is going through a period of stabilization and after several months it stabilized and you won’t have as many symtoms. E2 produced many of the benefits you want from trt. Libido, brain health, heart health, and eyc
I hear ya. I just think everyone is on to something with splitting my doses. I’ve been toying with it for a couple months, I feel ok at trough but I feel more tired and I’ve been moody the past couple weeks on Saturday. I really just want a more steady feeling if that makes sense. Like I said. I think 60mg every 3.5 days might do me better than one shot at 100mg every week. I just don’t know if I should take that shot tonight or start Sunday. Because by Sunday I will be at complete trough. What do you think ?
If you have symtoms take more. Also 100mg is very low. If anything i would start at 150.
Right now your problem is most likely to low free t. Levels drop by the time you hit the next shot. As you stated. And doing daily will keep levels higher consistently.
I also wouldn’t be going to 120 I would go to 150 at least from reading history above.
Thanks man.
