Ok I just dosed .75 and will try 2 times a week. I have no option for hcg and I’m not buying from steriod dealers. I may just get off the shit all together. I can’t get the labs I want or when I want them. Doc says free T is fine and will not budge on dose as total was over. And it was the sixth day.
I never said hcg or the protocol was bs just trying to find a different doctor but what can I do when they don’t agree?
Dr E Berry Gordon says this protocol is bullshit. Find him on you tube.
Is it ok to inject .75 sub q?
Also do u think e2 will raise now with lowering the dose? I’m just not sure about anything. Why isn’t it just a set protocol for everyone? I honestly wish I never started this shit. As you can see my e2 dropped four points after trt but ya not much. Concern about dropping dose two times weekly is that it will leave receptors open for estradiol to move in?? maybe sounds stupid but a concern as I don’t want it higher… Could high e2 cause muscle and joint pain?
