Got my bloods done and my Testosterone levels are LOW. I'm working out a lot and kind of pissed Ive been doing it on "hardmode" for god knows how long, but before I take the doc up on the script I'm doing my due diligence on the realities. It seems like every article I find is either written by a trt clinic or is a one sided hit piece. So Im after some real world experiences.

The biggest thing that you want to be sure if, in my experience, is ensuring that the dosage results in steady levels throughout the month. I had an awful time with the dose being every other week. And when I say awful, I mean "having a full fledged anxiety attack causing me to be pretty much locked inside my head every fortnight, resulting in needing to seek professional help". Hormonal imbalances can really fuck you up.

Yeah my reading pretty much says twice a week is the best balance between stability and fewest injections.
