The method you're using is risky.
See a doctor and constantly have your levels tested, because what you're doing actually might be counterproductive to the speed of your transition as long as you are on testosterone.
I know you're not right now, but you might not need as much testosterone in your body unless you had recent levels that indicated that the dose you were on was correct.
My testosterone was the same as yours pre-HRT.

Well, I wouldn't have dropped it back to the original dose,
But I couldn't afford it and I didn't want to just stop taking it all at once.
I knew it was risky, but I didn't really have many options at the moment,
Plus, I was going to ask him to drop the dose anyway (But then the clinic switched services and he got laid off) So I figured that dropping the dose back down to where it was wouldn't cause too much harm. I mean, I could be wrong, but yeah...

My apologies for butchering the thread, but some posts collectively gave out dosage information, and other posts pretty much stated dosage outright, for anyone willing to do some simple arithmetic.

There was some talk that Gentleman's dose might be considerably higher than the typical dose, and he was suggesting that he was doing about two and a half times the usual dose. This discussion is dangerous territory because you guys don't really know what exact prescription the other guys are using, and you could be making faulty assumptions.

I would like to point out that injectable T comes in at least two standard concentrations, one with twice as much actual testosterone as the other one, so you need half as much on that concentration as you would on the lower concentration. I would like to suggest that perhaps some of you are doing a different concentration than the other guys. Regardless, please do not post enough information in a thread that a self-medicator could figure out your dosage.

Sometimes it takes a collective effort to break the ToS. Weird, huh?
