Same here.
Have you ever thought of daily injections with test prop or test cyp? I ask because a lot of guys from that excellmale forum seem to be big on doing daily injections. A lot of them report less estrogen sides, water retention and other side effects seen on twice weekly, EOD, or once a week injections.
I have no desire to inject daily. I've read the forum, but don't agree b/c I've read of plenty of guys who although they feel more stable on eod or ed, their libido is weaker, and they don't have the edge you get from less frequent shot, due to lower dht. I was at e3 for a while, but I'm going to add back in the extra half day for a bit more volatility. That said, I was on eod for 5 weeks, and I did feel very good. Everything except libido. Plus, my shbg tends to sit in the 40s, so there's no real need to inject that frequently.
UGH...i had a similar issue with TRT Clinic near me a bunch of years ago (that is why i work with my GP and a US clinic now). That said once i actually got to talk to the Dr and not the nurse it was mostly fine.
When I did eod I found I required less test b/c of the overlapping half lives. There's something about keeping your test high that I don't believe is a natural state, that is unless you have very low SHBG. Then it's metabolized very quickly. I tried 30eod and was well over the high end for TT and FT. I was also sitting around 750 for my FT. My E2 seemed to stay low so there's that, but if I were to do it again I would start at 25mg eod and move up if necessary. I did feel really good, lots of energy and my focus was great. Maybe I'll give it a go some time again in the future. Ride it out longer to fully appreciate the effects.
That’s the way to go, Private clinic .
Prop IMO is different that cyp or ethanate.
I believe you are correct with the once/wk shot. I recently tried once/wk injections, and I don't think I was shooting enough as I found myself lagging on day 5&6.
I used to do 2 times a week or more, but have really tired of injecting all teh time, so for the last 3 months its been once a week and I feel great.
Interesting I'm usually trying to keep mine as stable. I get less acne if I keep it as even as possible.
Pretty much what I’ve been doing for the last couple years or so. Difference for me is far less pinning in a week, the shortest time between pins is 4 days and the longest is 9 to 10 days, volume is never the same I constantly switch it up. I keep a journal that way I can refer back. I don’t have bloods to back me up but one things for sure, the older I’ve gotten the more sensitive I’ve become to estrogen, the lump under the nip was always there but since changing up my pinning schedule it has completely disappeared.
With this type of injection frequency, do you experience an initial peak in testosterone levels shortly after the injection followed by a sharp decrease in testosterone levels at the end of two weeks?
Same thing here, seems to have less problem with my estrogen sensivity by doing it like this. I also had time where i would do only 1 in a week also between normal week just to imbalance everything hahaha, but most of the time i still keep it under 5 days between pins.
No, test undeconate is a much long ester
Hey @Cheapshot - when you switched to that ester how long did it take for you to fell 'level' for lack of a better adjective. Do you mind me asking which ester you switched from to undecanoate? That beats prop which I prefer which is EOD especially considering I use injectable curcumin, BCP, and CBD oil. Even with low amounts of test, I'm still injecting frequently.
I honestly don't know if I ever level out. Im always adding something or changing the dose. The plan is stay at 280 every 2 weeks for at least 10 months and get bloodwork
