question from a user
2 weeks in TRT why do I feel like crap about two days after injection? Is this normal until injected levels elevate and blood levels get steady? And how often does injected oil migrate from the injected spot?
AlphaMD's Answer
At this point, you may just need time to adjust to the changes. You could reasonable be experiencing suppression effects with not-yet-optimal improvement from injection amounts. Unless you had high natural production and are under-dosed (relative hypogonadism), which may cause issues like that.
Let me share some material we give to our new members, to help with timetable expectations:
When Will You Notice Changes?
- The Start, Weeks 1-4 - Many notice effects from the first few injections. During this time, more benefits will become apparent as the half-lives of previous doses build up in your system over time. It is important to give your body time to adjust to your initial dose.
- A Pause, Weeks 5-6 - During this time, many patients will experience a lull in benefits for a few days to a week. This is your body throwing a last "protest" about the new Testosterone before completely accepting it. This is normal, it will pass, and it does not mean you need to increase your dose.
- Evaluating, Weeks 7-8 - This is when your body has completely accepted your new Testosterone levels and is a good time to evaluate your treatment plan. Is all feeling well? Better than expected? Worse? We will send you a check-in survey around this time to touch base. If any changes need to be made, this is when it is fair to evaluate.
