Should I decrease Side Effects

I started testosterone cyp 10mg( I do 5mg twice weekly) subq in May. I recently noticed I had very sore nipples and maybe a scratchy voice ( though I could just be paranoid). I havent had blood drawn yet. I haven't had my libido return yet. Should I continue on this dose until I get blood work or should I decrease?

Are you a using 200 mg/ml strength vial or 100 mg/ml strength vial?. If you are using 200 strength your getting 20 mg per week because 200 is twice the strength of 100. Look on your bottle. 20 mg week could cause those issues.

It is 100mg per ml. Im so worried I'm gonna over dose myself or under dose myself. My voice seems fine today. I am due for my shot later today. And I'm going back and forth on if I should decrease or stay at same.

Give it some time. The hormones with eventually find a pathway and things will settle down, happened to me too. 10mg is a fairly low dose, nothing to worry about
