You’re going to drop your AI and lower your test dose? Why? Dropping your AI will result in less T and lowering your T dose will result in less T.
You’ve got everything ass backwards. More frequency typically results in lower E2 levels, not what you are suggesting.
I am telling you that guys who feel great on twice weekly injections keep doing what is working for them. The guys who are still having issues move to daily and it fixes things virtually every time. It’s not one provider, it’s over a dozen providers all doing it the same way with tens of thousands of patients.
If you eliminate HCG and AI and move to daily you only have one single variable left to determine: the ideal weekly dose for you. That makes things much easier to figure out.
Then why my E2 and my SHBG went up with more frequent injections?and my FT went down, despite that I was injecting less test?. Look, I just want to feel better, I don’t care how. The only time it worked, was the first 2 months when I was on 120 mg test once a week, no HCG, no AI.
If you were seeing any of the providers I deal with they wouldn’t even be measuring your SHBG or E2. They don’t care what it is. Neither should you. They only care about ensuring you have sufficient levels of free testosterone and overall blood health. That’s it. That is all that is required. If you want to over-complicate things, be my guest.
The more I think about it, you have no trough anymore on daily. On your other protocol, your E2 might have been higher, but your body had time to metabolize the higher E2 and get rid of it before your blood test.
Daily, it’s just all the same.
SHBG can fluctuate a lot and it’s impacted by diet. Higher SHBG = less FT.
Then can I do just test, but twice a week, or it has to be everyday?. Let say I inject 100mg test twice a week, but still have symptoms then I gradually increase it until my symptoms are resolved.
You right, I’m suffering and I’m afraid to do the wrong protocol. I won’t keep questioning everything I do, I will follow same protocol for three months and if doesn’t work, I will change it
@young_forever - for the last year, I was taking between 40-42mg EOD. That had me feeling really good the day after my shot and just so-so the day of my shot.
My TT ranged from 1192 - 1312, sensitive E2 from 41 - 49 and SHBG consistent at 26 - 27. FT ranged from 231 - 249 too.
By in large, it was working for me yes, but I was still having a few small issues, and wanted to feel great every day…So 4+ weeks ago I switched to 22mg ED.
I can tell I’m going through some changes, not bad changes at all (had sex this morning just fine) but I’m sticking it out another 4 weeks before making any judgements.
No AI or HCG either, never taken one… And I only inject sub-q.
Wishing for the best for you and following along. Keep us updated!
For ED injections are you doing SC or IM? What gauge pin? I’m interested in this but due to low body fat the only place I can do SC is around my navel and that area starts to get wore out quickly.
Then why aren’t you still doing that? The no HCG, no AI part lines up with what Danny is telling you to do now… If once a week works for you then awesome. If not, try more frequent and/or higher dose as needed. That’s it.
We all go through a honeymoon phase where we feel great for a few weeks and then as our natural production shuts down we won’t feel that great and at that point it can take a couple months to start feeling better again. This all takes time and every change you make to your protocol puts you in a position to have to wait it out for another 6-8 weeks to truly tell how you feel and how your body is reacting. Some of us have taken YEARS to get dialed in. What you are getting here is the culmination of all of those trial and tribulations concentrated into these responses. There are definitely outliers who break the mold but you have to at least follow the common protocols initially.
I’m been on test 100mg E3d and Anastrazole 0.25mg E3d for two weeks now, and no changes in my libido or erections. But today I took 25mg of Proviron and it was crazy!!! I was super horny and my erections were as hard as when I was in my teens!!!. I don’t know what to do now, I feel amazing. Do I take 25mg Proviron ED, test 100mg E3d and Anastrazole 0.25mg twice a week?. The way I feel today was the best in years, but I’m afraid to lower my E2 too much.
