This comment is very misleading. These aren't injections of straight hormones. They are hormone esters that are injected into a muscle, where they are slowly released in the blood stream and slowly metabolized to active hormones so as to maintain a steady level of hormone in the serum over a long period of time.
You compare 0.35 mg norethisterone to 200 mg norethisterone enanthate used in the study. The normal dose for women of norethisterone enanthate injection is 200 mg every 8 weeks. The same is true of the testosterone undecanoate used in the study. One injection is released over weeks, not all at once. You mention hypogonadism. In an early study of testosterone decanoate for hypergonadism, they used (almost) exactly the same dose, 1000 mg every 6-9 weeks.
It does seem like the testosterone may have been too much, based on the side effects listed, but you shouldn't come on HN and start posting diatribes when you aren't sure what you're talking about. And if you were sure, well, that's another problem.
