Yes i know these studies. Most data (as the above) comes from single dose PK studies, mostly from healthy volunteers and a relatively homogenous population. Especially the intersubject variability seem to be heavily underestimated in these studies.
Intention here is got get data on steady state levels in a heterogenous population on TRT. Data will most likely have to normalized to peak, average or trough based on the available PK data.
I take test E at 50mg twice per week and this puts me at the very top of total T range and slightly above free T range, blood test is taken before the next jab on trough

No, responding to johann77ās request for samples.
What units are those free T numbers in? Mine the normal range goes up to like 30 I think, so those would be insanely high. Iām assuming itās a different unit and not actually that crazy high
They are all from Quest:
250-1100 ng/dL total test
35-155 pg/mL free test
<39 pg/mL E2
10-50 nmol/L SHBG

How have you been feeling since switching? Recently switched to ED at a lower dose than you and had E2 problemsā¦ had to readjust even lower after some days in.
@marcus007
You are gong to feel like shit on any change you do for a period of time and then you will feel better. Making changes based on how you feel those initial 6 weeks post change is incorrect.
For the record youāve already been told this previously. This is more for the new folks that stumble upon your post in the future so that they donāt make the same mistake (as I did in the beginning) of changing shit too early and blaming it on estrogen.
Changed based on @systemlord 's recommendation. Will stay on track for 6 weeks at least based on yours. Went from working 12 hour days to sleeping all day, driving me crazy. Only reason I even went to ED was to remove the need for an AI and since I felt volatility on my 2x week regimen.
42mg test cyp EOD. Levels were measured about 7 hours before my shot. 3pm on shot day when I usually inject around 10pm.
@johann77 - have you compiled the data? How does it look?
Its been about 12 to 13 weeks on ED administration of 26 mg. Overall I feel good, mood, energy, gym performance etc. Havenāt had the time to draw blood yet ā¦ hopefully soon. Still having acne issues which Iāve never dealt with even as a teen. Feel like libido still swings and erection quality is hit or miss. Iāll post bloods soon.

Interested to see these bloods. Iām 42mg EOD right now, inject at night around 10pm. I feel awesome the day after an injectionā¦ And feel just okay the day of my injection.
I want to feel awesome every day. Contemplating moving to 20mg EDā¦ But not totally sure yet.
Do you feel better now than in previous protocol?
