What is your current dose and how long have you been doing it. Im off cycle currently, and decided to stay on a low dose. I have had 125 mg prescribed in the past, which I felt ok. But this time around im doing 200 mg and feel great, I feel like this could be the sweet spot. Im going to see where test levels are in a few weeks (Using Dracorex) as I just switched to Drac.
 
100 mg per week of script or any of the labs I tested all put me at the very top of the range/just over by a point or two (two injections a week), taken 2 days after my last injection.
200 mg a week of properly dosed testosterone, pending you are like most people will put you considerably over top of the range of normal.
 
1 year on 90mg test cyp. Added 800IU HCG 3 months ago because I wanted my balls back. 0.25 arimidex every 10 days. Total test ~25. Free test ~675. E2 ~70.

Feel pretty good here. Have never ran anything higher so maybe there is room for improvement but Im happy with how this feels. A hell of a lot better than 6.5 and 175 pre-trt.
 
I’ve been on TRT for almost 6 months now.

I first started with 100 mg per week and 1000 IU of HCG split into two shots.

First bloodwork:
  • Total T: 32.4 nmol/L
  • Bio T: 15.8 nmol/L
  • E2: 189 pmol/L
I wasn’t feeling so great at that time.
The clinic asked me to lower the dose to 90 mg and add 0.25 mg of Arimidex to help with E2.

I decided not to take the Arimidex for now, just to see if things would improve by lowering the dose to 90 mg. But honestly, I’m still feeling like shit, haha.

I’ve got bloodwork scheduled in 2 weeks we’ll see how it looks
 
When I checked 125 put me in the middle. But lately I have been running 200. Only downside to 200 mg/wk is I need to use an ai, or my eyes burn/itchy from the higher estrogen
 
160mg/wk pinned twice a weekand my Test and E are in range but hematocrit is too high. Dropped to 150 and switched to a Mon/Wed/Fri pin schedule and donated blood so we will see how things shake out on my next test
 
For those of you who do blood work on your test levels, please do post here. Might be good for others to see your levels on the dosage you are taking. Sure everyones body is different, but still would be nice to see.

Hope fully they'll post the supremely important timing too...
Test E 60mg every 3.5days blood drawn right before next injection (the trough) = 700ng/dl

Note that's the protocol I use for Dr ordered and reviewed Bloodwork. But I run it in all kinds of other ways too, most commonly a touch higher weekly dose taken EOD
 
100mg/week split to 2 injections of Test C.
Arimadex 0.5mg/week
Total T. 21.4
Free T. 617
E2. 95
But since this last blood test I have quit the AI.

When I was on 120mg/week of test C and no AI. these are my numbers
Total T. 26.8
Free T. 820
E2. 239

I felt really good when I was on 120 but was moved back to 100 because of the high E2.
