    Testosterone entente kicks in after weeks, 3 to 6 weeks? Why would we need HCG before? Can't I wait for 3 weeks and start HCG?

    2nd question:

    Half life of test e is 7 days, so here is the chart,

    Week 1: 250mg
    Week 2: level dropped to 125mg, took 250mg again and levels should be 375mg?
    Week3: levels are 125 + 60 = 185mg, took 250 again and levels should be 435mg?

    If we see above chart, levels are I creating rapidly , after an year (52 weeks) levels will be in many 1000s?

    I am confused, the level is increasing every week.

    Not increasing because on week 2 you inject 250mg but its not released right away.

    OP, this actually very confusing to me. First of all, are you talking about Test Enanthate ?

    Are you just at the beginning stages of starting a TRT protocol? 6 weeks is the standard time frame to run the first set of labs, as it will give an accurate picture of the stabilized serum reading, plus it will tell the doctor how the rest of the body is responding to the protocol; reflected by a complete panel from A to Z.

    I don't get the week 2 and week 3 part where you took "x" amount of mg's, then added more, and that should put your levels at "y"? What is your prescribed dosage? No need to wait on the HCG . Add it to your protocol so that your testicles don't get the aftermath of being fully suppressed.

    If you can clarify any of this for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm probably just misreading it all. Thanks.

    Testosterone "kicks in" rather immediately. The effects you might notice can range from a week to years, depending on the effect. Don't get caught up in trying to analyze things too much... let it happen, monitor blood work, and make necessary changes. I recommend keeping a journal.

    The general half life of testosterone enanthate is about 7 days, but individual variation can greatly effect this. I imagine you care more about how YOU metabolize testosterone, rather than the general population.

    You would generally want to inject enanthate at least once a week. Many on here do twice a week. I actually do 3 small shots per week for steady levels.

    Your body will reach a new dynamic equilibrium in about 4-8 weeks... the Testosterone level will not continue to rise indefinitely.

    He's not taking into account the T that's being utilized. He's just looking at dosage and half life.
