T-cypionate takes 5 half lives in order to build up in your system and levels become stable at 6 weeks, so doing labs at week #3 at a time when levels are unstable is a waste of money because doing labs this early will not be a true representation of your levels
You cannot got to just any doctor for your TRT, most are dumb and usually prescribe insane infrequent injection schedules 2-4 weeks which is what the guidelines state. Whoever wrote these guideline deserves some kind of village idiot of the year award.
It’s hard to fathom you went 8 months on a once monthly protocol most would have tapped out after only 1-2 injections. Your levels had to be 100-200 right before your next monthly injection.
