The half life of test U is sooo long… daily shots regarding this particular preparation makes NO sense
lol, the half life is what… 23 days or so in tea seed oil and 33 days in Castor oil. I already think the daily injection fad with test C and E is strange (given a HL fo 5-7 days) however if that works for you fine… but seriously… with test U that’s seriously ridiculous, at that point I can almost guarantee any perceived benefit is placebo
I’d say shoot 0.4ml e7d or .8ml e14d (you’re protocol is 1000mg e10w right) and it’s 250mg/ml?
The daily injection thing isn’t related to the half-life. It’s guys trying to use more product without the upswing of a lot of free T 2 days later. It’s really estrogen control without an AI. And some guys burn through the Nebido way faster than the listed half-life parameters. So for them spreading the dose out helps avoid that crash before the next dose.
There’s no upswing in free T from using menudo ed vs e2d vs e3.5d etc
Show me some literature… or get any doctor to agree on the notion of ED shots of test U and I’ll bite.
SHBG has nothing to do with injection protocols, ED shots for test U makes no sense… that’s my opinion
I’ll buy into the notion some feel better on ED shots of test E/C, but not test U
No one burns through test U to the point where the HL would be like 4 days… the touted half life of test U is 90 days, the truth is… it’s 20-30 days
That’s why I suggested weekly or every two weeks. I don’t see any point in daily for Nebido.
Let’s leave Hispanic boy bands out of this. I don’t need any dose of Ricky Martin or his buddies.
Lol I need to replace my phone, it’s old… freezes up when I type and somehow saying nebido is grounds to autocorrect into muendo
I’ve settled on a protocol of 140mg of Nebido weekly now for over 8months now and everything is working really well. I’ve had blood work done just recently and everything is all in a good range.
Its great I only have to inject once a week and I don’t notice any ups or downs. I’ve even gone travelling for three weeks and didn’t want to take any test with be, so I just took a triple shot before departure. Again no problems, I just went back on the weekly protocol on my return.
happy days ![]()
@trtwyn what’s you’re current dose. Different people metabolise/eliminate testosterone at varying rates. If you’re taking say 200mg UGL TRT per week (or even 100-150) per week on top of nebido averaging about 80mg weekly or so, are you really surprised from a high level of 180-300mg per week?
Not a big deal, it’s about 1500ng/dl… is it the healthiest long term? No, but a healthy young male won’t die quickly from 52nmol… it’s like a mild cycle/very heavy trt/cruise
shows the testosterone is certainly legitimate though (as is almost ALWAYS the case with UGL testosterone, however overdosing/underdosed product is serious concern (esp if T content is like 2-300% above the specified amount on the label… this can happen, I’ve had UGL trt of which brought me to concentrations 2x that of an equiv dose of pharm grade T would get me)
Posted here…
I want to get back to normal T levels so that I can go back to my professor like nothing happened, if he tests my blood. Also surprisingly I dont feel a slight difference now to when my T was like 13 on that scale lol…
I’d inject once a week or so.
Then why do TRT anyway at your age if you dont feel different? Your buying into the risks with no apparent benefit.
Why are you taking 200 to 250 for TRT?
13 was my test on trt as well so yeh…
I wasnt feeling a lot of difference so I upped the dose. Id call it a small cruise rather than TRT
Your WBC/Neutrophils are elevated. You have an infection of some kind. I recommend stopping the TRT until you get that taken care of. You are suppressing your immune system with TRT. Overtime this will allow the infection to take over.
Jeez don’t stop anything with out talking to your doctor. They’re only slightly elevated and most likely will resolve on its own.
I’m not even convinced that therapeutic doses of testosterone cause a blunted immune response vs the supressed levels of not being on trt.
No, testosterone metabolite etiocholanolone is immunostimualatory, induces leukocytosis, if you look at bloods from guys on cycle many of them have elevated WBC counts… not immunosuppressive either
Probably nothing to worry about unless he feels run down
