No, none of these.
There is a lot of subjectivity involved in what we do. Add into it the āmore is better mindsetā many have and it gets more complicated. I saw a guy recently on follow up. Heās been with me for a while, late 30s, very fit, doing well on TRT. He told me his libido could be better. Heās married, 15 years, age appropriate wife, etc. I had to ask how often. He said twice a dayā¦
Most guys do great on basic TRT protocols of 150-200mg injections once a week. Very few are not happy and while I rack my brain trying to figure them out and try different things, it seems we keep changing for the sake of change. Theyāre only happy for a while, then we need to change something.

To me being a doctor is like being an artist, most doctors are not artists in their job they are just doing what theyāve learned many years ago, a real doctor does it with passion really trying to find an answer no matter what and I see in many of your posts this passion, I wish all the doctors were like that

Itās got to be the most frustrating thing in the world
I think the majority of guys out there who complain constantly and constantly change things have really high expectations of TRT or they had that slight euphoria when they first started and theyāre constantly chasing that like an addict.
The fact that somebody can have sex twice a day and still complain about libido just goes to show you they probably have an underlying idea of TRT and are not sharing it .
It seems older men on TRT do better because expectations are lower.
Younger men have more need for instant gratification and etc
Thats society in 2020.

Definetely too early yet, but injecting testosterone this way feels much different and is much more potent.
I hope in two weeks I will feel much better. Levels will be up in that time

Still getting dialed in on this protocol but things are getting better.
Mood is still fluctuating, Libido is getting better and at the gym power is nothing Ive ever experienced
Feeling even better this week. Did a blood work and test levels are too high for this stage of the protocol. Seems I will need to decrease the dosage
With the IM injections I will need no more than 120-130mg weekly to get the 1400 total test
Are you on enanthate?
No Im two weeks on sustanon where I starter TRt initially. This seems to be the only good ester for me and only that gives me good mood and feeling of well being.
On enanthate I had good energy, insane strength at gym but no feeling of well being - anxiety instead. So I choose my priorities
Since Ive tried all prudent TRT options I will not change from sustanon any more. Just gotta find my dose
Does not compute.

What does bot compute did not get you 
If I dont decrease I will go on cycle
The testosterone I use needs 8 weeks to build up and Im on week 2 still
You will go on a cycle? I am confused. You say the number doesnāt matter. You are finally feeling well and you want to lower your dose? Makes no sense.

Read again please
So what? There is no guarantee your numbers will be any different in 8 weeks. This is why everyone says wait 6-8 weeks and not test and change dose every two weeks. What decides a ācycleā? You are ok at 1400 but 1500 is a cycle?
They will be different and I know it because I know how the compound works. Waiting is good thing when necessary, but here the math says not to wait.
If I stay on 140mg I will surpass 1600 maybe even go to 1800 which for me definitely will be a lot and I will be in a very crappy situation there. The dose reduction will then take a long time to bring back the levels down
And what are you going to do if you lower your dose then feel worse in 8, 10, 12 weeks?
I will evaluate my levels how I feel and calculate
So useless shit.
