Which type of test is it? I'm assuming it's test cypionate or test enanthate, as those are the common ones in Canada.
A once every 2 weeks protocol is not ideal and I'm not sure why some doctors still do this. The only exception is test undecanoate, which has a much longer half life of 10-12 days.
Going from 200/2 weeks to 200/week is basically doubling your dose. I am not privy to your blood work and I'm not a doctor, but the general starting dose for men in TRT clinics is 150-200mg/week. Most men divide that into two doses of 75-100mg twice per week.
Shorter dosing intervals will cause less radical spikes and troughs in your blood hormone levels. The goal is maintain blood levels as stable and constant as possible, which is much harder to achieve at once every 2 weeks. By the time day 13 comes, you are in a much lower trough compared to days 1-3 after injection. This is why dividing it into twice a week is better... it prevents spikes.
I would say, without knowing blood work, 200mg/wk is likely to put you into the supraphysiologic range, but not in all cases. I recommend dosing lower than that, waiting a few weeks, and then doing your blood work for total T, free T, bioavailable T, and estradiol (E2). The wild card here is E2. You ideally want to control that by finding the "sweet spot" dose of T per week. Increasing T increases E2 and you don't want excess E2... it raises blood pressure, gives you gyno, makes you moody, makes your dick not work, etc. If your dosing interval isn't short enough, then the T spike will pour over into E2. That's why I advise being under 200/week to start, in divided doses. There's no way you'll be deficient in T at 150mg/wk and you can always experiment with increasing after your blood work to see what a slightly higher level feels like.
More T is not necessarily better unless your goal is to blast and bodybuild. Then that would be a different conversation. If we're talking strictly TRT, then the above advice is the most relevant.
