Read this. It's as current as it gets and cutting edge.

Next, visit the HRT Forum because if you're on HRT and getting shots every two weeks it indicates your doc is pretty clueless regarding administering a proper HRT protocol.

i get cypionate every two weeks. only 200(dont recall if its mg or what). get blood tests every like 6 months and im still on the low end of the scale but alot better than i was a year ago. i get the shot cause my free test was basically zero. i was real sluggish, tired,couldn't shed a pound. i was getting the shots only once a month(400mg) but then requested to get it every 15 days. since, i have noticed a difference in moods and tiredness. not so much in anything else. thanks for the replies

Reference range: AGE MALE 20-50 yrs 5.1-41.5 pg/mL Reference range female: AGE FEMALE Reproductive age: <2.7 pg/mL Post Menopausal: <2.1 pg/mL (was copied from the hospitals webpage under my results)
sorry for not knowing off hand, as for being informed, i'm not that much. so that is why i asked for truthful articles to read so i can get informed and learn more. not sure i can even do any cycles due to my graves disease. now mind you that is for my free test only. thanks again and sorry

Organize another appointment and insist on weekly injections. I'd be bushing for an increase in dosage too. 125mg a week .
Primoteston is dosed at 250 mg /ml
You can self inject into your stomach fat if you are confident, but your test levels are rubbish. Your Dr is pathetic and if nothing changes get a new dr

I assume your being treated for your graves disease which would help mitigate symptoms. I'm sure you know with graves comes high shbg levels (and estrogen follows shbg) which result in low free T levels. Fast forward to your T protocol. As stated your doc doesn't know hormones, if he did you would not be on a two week protocol. The half life of test is about 5 - 7 days, therefore your shots should be at least once a week. He's dosing you on the terminal life of test. Meaning your levels are crap by the end of the second week. Remember it's free T that's important.
Assuming the above blood work in post #7 is while on this protocol and you're tested near the end of the two week period, you can see your T level is in the toilet. You need to be on a better protocol. Try 100 mgs per week to start and no doubt you'll feel better. BTW, a better protocol will also help to suppress shbg levels and help with estrogen conversion simply due to less T injected at one time equals less spike in E.
Not sure I see where graves would inhibit you from doing a cycle. Maybe someone else can chime in on that aspect.
