Question about Pinning Frequency and SHGB

Pharma TRT
1

I have an appt with my dr on Tuesday to decide on the best options for my TRT. Self administered is not off the table (which is what I’d rather do). I really don’t want to have to pay for an office visit every week, or even every other week. Also, I’m thinking that it would be best if I do it because I can split the dose in half and inject twice a week, rather than once a week. My concern is that the once a week injections are more likely to increase SHBG, and I’ve read from some of you guys that this can be alleviated by splitting up the dose. Sounds reasonable to me… My question is…Is this logic true with any dose? I mean, I’m probably looking at 100mg-150mg per week total for TRT. Am I at the same risk for elevated SHBG if I do that dose once a week as say, the guy that is blasting at 500mg a week, or does this split dose risk/logic only apply at cycle levels?

Thanks for any info…

TRT will decrease SHBG, it’s E2 that will increase. Your ideal injection frequency will be determined, in part, by your SHBG, less frequent for higher levels, more frequent for lower.

Most do fine with once or twice a week dosing, whatever you do, space injections out no longer than once a week. You’ll need to see what works best for you.

Thanks man. It seems I was understanding this a little backwards. I appreciated the info!!
