Found it interesting and thought I'd share. I am still waiting for all labs to come back for my review, but I had my 6 month labs and ordered a CBC with it. Everything on the CBC stayed about the same other than hematocrit, which did go up .3, so no big deal and I wasn't fully hydrated so I don't even consider that an increase.
However, for 2 years I switched over to 50mg 2x weekly and on the day of injection was averaging 620, so likely meant I was peaking around 850-900. Muscle tone was good and energy, mood, libido was all at a pretty even level. It just became a little inconvenient because I was traveling for work more and starting to build up scar tissue faster.
6 months ago I switched back to 1x weekly at 100mg and immediately saw a minor increase in aggression and a noticeable difference in muscle mass. No difference in strength, I have always been in the 1200 club range and that fluctuates depending on routine. But, fat dropped, muscle mass went up and I gained a consistent 3-5lbs (normal walking around weight 205ish vs 209ish). Just had my labs and on day 6, the day before injection, labs came back at 804. Which means I am out of physiological range for the first couple days at least and would explain why I see the difference in muscle tone.
It is interesting how I am responding to the injection amount as only 100mg is getting me pretty damn high and then keeping me high. To be walking around with guestimated average 900 levels with that little test is pretty efficient.
