Im just wondering what the lowest dose some of our members are on and what levels they achieve at those doses. Would love to hear from guys on 80mgs week or less. Also guys with low shbg.

Maybe this doesn't exist lol.
I was on 100 mgs per week, stayed around 500, was bumped up to 120 then 140. At 140, started having issues, panel came back with cholesterol, triglycerides and other things high that shouldn't have been.
Doc said I had gotten out of the sweet spot and should back down to 80 mgs and see how it feels. Been on 80 per week for 2 weeks and feel much better than before. I wasn't sure how the lower dose would feel but I like it much better than the higher. Have been on trt for 6 years and stayed on 100 mgs per week most of that time until about 3 months ago before I bumped up. I feel better than I did the past 2 years at 100 mgs per week.

Good to hear, keep us informed on how it goes and maybe get some labs in a few weeks.

You're genuinely satisfied at 35-40mg/week? What exactly is your TT level at that dosage?

That's awfully low but if it works for you that's all that really matters.
Here are my latest labs - Will be retaking in the next month.
7/8/13
CPK 151
CHOLESTEROL 187
TRIGYCERIDES 95
HDL 41
LDL CALCULATED 127
CHOL/HDL RATIO 4.6
Hemoglobin A1c 5.7
Glucose 88
Testosterone 699
Free Testosterone 184
% Free Testosterone 2.6
PSA .60/.42free
TSH 2.34
Thyroxine (T4) 6.8
Ratio of TT/ E 12.48
Estradiol-6 56
C Reactive Protein 0.3
SHBG 24
Prolactin 22.38
For the past couple of years, I have been injecting (IM) .40mg of cypionate twice a week - on Monday mornings and Thursday evenings.
Bloodtests are done at the end of one of these 2x/wk cycles, before the next injection.
At this testosterone level, I still have ED issues, but have enough energy for a very active life at 74 - lots of exercise, and avoid depression that was there previous to TRT.
I would like to have cholesterol better in check, but cannot take full dose of statins due to muscle pain, so I will have to be happy with current level.

Im currently taking 50mgs e4d. I still believe this dose is too high for me. Gonna go down to 46 mgs e4d. But I have gotten morning wood everyday for past couple weeks. Energy is decent but could be better. Anxiety is up a lil bit, which is prolly from high e2. I will keep going down on dose gradually until I either lose morning wood or everything clicks together.
