Anyone else an under responder to testosterone?

What does Bloodwork look like on a true trough at your dose of 300mg?

with only 3 hours post injections its possible that youre looking at results more similar to trough than peak serum levels.

How long does it take after injection to ready peak serum levels? I’ve always got bloods done shortly after my injections

I believe it's 24-36 hrs for Cyp

Pharmacokinetics of testosterone therapies in relation to diurnal variation of serum testosterone levels as men age

To improve symptoms associated with testosterone deficiency, many testosterone therapies are available that aim to restore serum testosterone (T) levels to the normal physiologic range. The magnitude, frequency, and duration between peak and trough T ...

TC is available in two strengths, 100 and 200 mg/ml concentrations prepared in cottonseed oil. 34 The recommended dose is 50 to 400 mg administered every 2 to 4 weeks for IM TC. In a study of 11 men with hypogonadism, every‐other‐week administration of 200 mg IM TC caused a threefold rise in serum T, with peak values occurring between 2 to 3 days (38.4 ± 15.3 nmol/L; 1108 ± 440 ng/dl) and 4 to 5 days (38.6 ± 10.3 nmol/L, or 1112 ± 297 ng/dl) post‐injection. 35 Similarly, E2 levels also increased almost threefold. Within 2 weeks, mean T C avg approached 13.9 nmol/L (400 ng/dl). These large fluctuations in serum T over the 2‐week dosing period differ greatly from what is observed in normal, diurnal T variation of healthy young or older men.

in summary, looking at your bloodwork, i would see 1100 total on 300mg at essentially the trough as being a pretty nominal result

Total testosterone was below 1200 on 300mgs of total testosterone a week… bloods were taken 3 hours after injection. Free testosterone is almost 50% of total testosterone. I’ve been this way pretty much my entire life, anything below 250mgs feels like being below natural in terms of quality of life and performance. I tend to shrink a lot when I go down to a traditional cruise/trt dosage, and strength goes down a lot. Night and day difference vs a blast. So for this reason I tend to always stay at 300mgs.. even during my blast since I don’t need much testosterone to reach my goals for now. When I was younger I used to cruise at 500mgs… which usually kept me around 3200ngdl. 130mgs keeps my total test around 600ngdl. SHBG is always very low, on cycle around 5-10, the highest I ever got it was around 12 during a 3 month cruise. View attachment 50196

I’m the same way bro . On pharma trt from the doc I was originally given 160 a week which had me in the low 400 a month after my initial starting . Now taking 200 and splitting it into 3 shots has helped a bit but it’s still around 700 which is fine but most people ive seen around 900+ from that dose. Can’t remember my free t atm

80 mgs of test a week puts me at 1000ng/dl, 850mgs would put me at over 10,000ng/dl with over 3500 free testosterone where the tests stops on both free and total.

Tf lucky fucker

I need 250mg/week to hit 1100 total, but I'm a bit older and had total test under 100 prior to starting 2 years ago.

My trt is 3 days after injection

200 a week split my test level 5 days after was 1180
