Doc put on 150 of test cyp/week, and he says once a week. Would it be best to inject once a week, or maybe twice a week? Been hearing it’s best to split up the dosage so I don’t get the peaks/valleys. Also have an AI, but I’ve been hearing that it’s best not to use an AI unless I really need it, like if I start having side effects. Would it be harmful to split up the use of an AI right off the bat as well?
I really appreciate any help you might be able to provide. Thanks!
Maybe, however most guys do well with once a week. You won’t hear that here. Nothing wrong with taking it twice weekly though, while it likely not necessary, it won’t hurt you.
I think that is correct.
Maybe. I wait and see how you do, your E2 is pretty low, even with your test so low. If you inject twice a week you can usually get by with less (60mg x 2 vs 150mg x1) and that will keep E2 down.
The problem becomes how do you know estrogen is causing the side effects, because for the longest time I thought my issues were related to estrogen. It turned out to be multiple vitamin deficiencies that was causing my symptoms.
You will more than likely have side effects at the beginning, allow you body time to reach homeostasis and refrain from using the AI. You never mentioned the AI dosage.
Your estrogen is undetectable and seriously doubt you’ll need it.
Sorry, I’m very new to this. My AI is Anastrozole(Arimadex) 1mg 30’s ACCD. Take 1/2 tablet once weekly. (So .5 mg/ week?) Someone on another forum said this is a poor choice of AI in the long run due to its long-term adverse effect on cholesterol?
Just based on a lot of reading from this forum, others, studies, etc… I’m going to try SubQ injections twice a week (75mg x 2) for starters.
And bone density reduction. Anastrozole also interferes with fatty esters production that is used to maintain the cardiovascular system. God knows what else it’s doing…
If you thinking more is better mentality, you may be at this dialing in process for a long time. I’ve seen it before and never recommend SQ starting out, just another possible setback as IM is prefered by most with good reason.
I still believe this dosage is too high, 100-120mg weekly is a better starting point.
I’ll keep this in mind, thanks so much for your input, seriously. It’ll take some time and tuning to get to the sweet spot, I guess. Right now I’m doing 75mg every 3.5 days. Maybe I’ll need to bring it down or change the frequency of pinning.
