If You Started TRT Over, How Would You Approach It?

I think daily is probably almost always overkill. Can definitely see the case for e3d or potentially e2d in certain cases though. Then again, once or twice a week seems to work for a lot of people and is less for me to overthink. Paralysis by analysis is a big part of my problem, so it’s hard to decide what to do exactly going forward.

I felt tenfold better injecting 7 mg daily versus 20 mg every other day, with similar Total T and Free T values (big E2 difference though), but as I near static hormones problems ensued. If it wasn’t for Jatenzo, I’d be on Test prop injecting daily.

Case in point even when it worked it didn’t work. The only way higher frequency works for him is for compounds that are not steady/stable at all.

Absorption of gels is quite variable, from person to person and for the same person from day to day. Then there’s cost. I’m using T cypionate injected subQ, and there’s no doubt as to its availability–when it’s in, it’s in. That isn’t true with gels.

The other issue with gels is cost. My T cypionate costs $23.80 for one month’s supply at CVS, with a Good Rx card. The last time I bought Androgel, several years ago, it was $1100-$1200 per month. With my insurance, my copay was $60, but there was a cap on how much the insurance would pay, and after about 3 months my monthly cost would have gone to more than $500.

I don’t see any benefit to gels unless you cannot tolerate sticking yourself with a needle a couple of times a month.

I’d ignore the advice thay was cpnstsntly rammed down my throat of never to touch and a.i at all costs.

A better piece of advice wouod be try and dial in without one and if you di need to use one be very very cautious and titrate up slowly- and take time without it.

I would also ignore all rhe “sustanon just doesnt work” too much fluctuating levels advice i was goven at the start too.

I’m on Sustanon with a tiny bit of a.i when i need it and more than happy.

You just need to pin more regulalry than the 2 weeks the medical professionals originally said it should be used at.

Current protocal is more of a mini blast

0.5ml (125mg) sustanon e5d
1/4 anastrazole 2 days after shot.

Most advice is usually nonsense as this shit is so incredible individual.

Never take ai!!! - no
Use ed or ed injections as e7d suck!! - no

Bla bla
