Changing Frequency Early On

Hi
I know it’s not ideal but I am 2 weeks into my trt journey and was prescribed 125mg weekly and decided to split to twice weekly
Just with everything going on currently it will make it so much easier switching to weekly and with my work etc I will find it much easier going to once weekly
Question is will it have much of an effect two weeks in and bloods wise should I take 6 weeks from when I started or from when I switch to weekly?
Iv not had much response in 2 weeks apart from strength and endurance at the gym
Had few days of morning wood but nothing concrete

Thanks

So after 4 shots you’ve concluded that the 5min it takes to do an injection is too damaging to your schedule? :thinking:

There won’t be much difference between 1x per week and 2x per week. If you find yourself having issues getting dialed in, you may want to find a way to go back to 2x per week.

Practically none.

Wow how long does it take you to inject???

I’m having to go clinic to get the shots
So it’s getting there twice weekly that’s not practical
After 3/4 months they said will allow me to self inject

Awww ok that explains it. For many once weekly is enough.

Yeh could look at twice weekly after 3/4 months… it was more the fact that would it affect my first of bloods at week 8 by changing to weekly after 3 weeks

Progress on TRT can be slower than most expect, after all these are hormones and not drugs which reach full effect within a short period of time.

I’m still making progress several months into my protocol.

This is unusual.

Thank you
I hope I start to see improvement in libido… funny thing is I did feel it at end of first week and then it dissapeared

Sounds like the clinic trying to make money. You don’t need them to inject. Nothing to it. Plenty of videos on how to do it.

Hormones are one of many things needed for a strong libido, libido is multifaceted.

That’s because at first you were stacking exogenous T on top of endogenous T and now the endogenous T is declining and now you’ll have to wait till the exogenous T builds up in your system.

Cool that makes sense… so own production can drop within first few weeks? And exogenous can then take 6 weeks to build up?

To build up yes, to feel the effects can take longer.
