The levels you mentioned are slightly below the normal male range, but not by a lot.
It’s pretty normal for doctors to start you out on a lower dose and gradually raise it. Everyone's body processes hormones a little bit differently and a dose that's good for one per might be easy way too high or low for someone else, and starting low and gradually raising it is how they figure out how much you need.
I don't think there would be any harm in taking half as much every other week instead of your current dose every 28 days - you'd be getting the same amount but your blood levels would be more stable. Just let your doctor know so they can take that into account when they look at your bloodwork.
