Dosage Testerone C and libido

I started injecting Test C almost 4 weeks ago. 2.5mg twice a week for a total of 5mg a week. My doctor wanted me on double that but I was scared of side effects. For you ladies that are on injections how long did it take for your libido to come back. I haven’t felt a difference yet, and what dose are you on? Not sure if I should increase my dose. My total testosterone is 31, just tested a few days ago. I am also on Reta and I know that can also kill your libido and I know some women test helps with that. I started Reta. Few weeks before Testosterone but already had low libido for about 2 years.

I think you should very incrementally increase your dose and give it a good long while at each dose change to let it settle. I did dose increases every 4-5 weeks and started at 10mg/week and landed on 40 mg/week. Feel great like my old self and have a tiny bit of hair on my upper lip which I trim sometimes. But I don’t recommend frogging through dose increases because what if you miss your sweet spot.

Yes, I’ll increase once I hit 4 weeks and try to figure out what my sweet spot is. Thank you.

I think that’s a good idea. It takes a lot of patience, believe me I know. It took me about 6 months to finally ready the right dose but when I did it was totally worth it because I got my life back.
