    The range for total T varies depending on who you talk to. Some will say 400-1100, some 300-900, etc.
    100/week, according to my doc, works for 90% of his patients.
    And you probably don't need adex at that amount. I'm surprised you did at 180 (although not impossible)

    I don't think I need adex either at 180, didn't take it consistently but the clinic recommended it. Range on my test shows 250-1100 Quest Diagnostics

    If labs indicate a need for a'dex to address E2 values, a'dex needs to be taken consistently; not one here and another one when you think you may need it.

    Getting your TRT dialed in relys on consistent dosing off your T, HCG, and any ancillaries.

    180mg/week is a typically a high dosage for TRT. Just echo what has been stayed above, split your dosage onto 2 injections/week.

    I am scripted 150mg/week, but split that into 2 injections of .3cc(60mg) 2x/week. My total T stayed roughly the same (checking on a trough day), but my free T increased and is consistently at the top or just barely over the upper end of the range. E2 dropped a tad, and more importantly I no longer I have a low day in between shots. On the once/week protocol I would begin to feel just a little "blah" around day 5.

    Also, it is probably a minute detail, but I have found I feel even a little more energetic if I injection my HCG a day ahead of my TRT.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    The anti aging clinic only tested total test, nothing else, and recommends Adex to all patients including me. I'm not going there anymore. Now I'm at an endocrinologist and she did not test for E2 and said she was surprised I was on it. She said generally only people who "do it in their own" use Adex.

    I used HCG for the first 3 months with the clinic then stopped. Didn't feel any difference with or without. Same with Adex.

    160-180mg once a week feels right. Maybe I can use a but less when switching to twice a week, say 75mg per injection. I'll ask for that next time.
