Im going to the Dr today to get the first shot. I have some medical literature Im taking with me to point out to him.

This is from 2014, if anyone has something current I would appreciate it.
Some excerpts..
"The target testosterone concentration is individualized but the goal is to achieve levels in the mid-normal range." ie around 18.6 nmol/dL (536ng/dL)
-the recommended dose ,from a table, is 200mg every 2 weeks
"Intramuscular testosterone esters (testosterone enanthate and cypionate) are long-acting preparations that are administered every 2-3 weeks, with peak concentrations occurring shortly after injection and gradually declining after 7-15 days. After IM injection of the testosterone ester, testosterone concentrations in serum rise into the supraphysiological range within 24-48 hours and gradually decline into the low-normal range over 2-3 weeks. However, resulting wide peak-to-trough fluctuations inserum testosterone levels may lead to instability in mood, libido and sexual function."
-Although the recommendation injections are still once every 2-3 weeks
The Dr said he is ok with me doing my own injections (he will teach my wife) so I can control that. Ill see what he says about upping the dose today...
