Yeah the midnight raping will get less intense but it may not fully go away. I still have it from time to time. I won’t sleep in a bed with anyone I’m not pounding already and I have them sign a waiver.

God what I’d do to feel like that again.
Its intense bro. I mean I did it before as well on my other protocol but I would only do it maybe once a week. The last two nights it wakes us both up. I feel bad for her because we both work in the morning, I told her to just roll me over or something if I start doing it lol
The libido dude, its insane. I didn’t realize jabbing twice per week would provide this much benefit, I absolutely demolished my girl last night and I am crawling out of my skin today. Tons of energy too, mood is much better. This would have been my trough day on once per week and trough day sucked ass the past three weeks.

Temper yourself. Because you decided to shoot the 65mg early, you’re experiencing a testosterone surge above what you have experienced before. Just don’t chase the dragon looking for that ‘insane libido’. Been there.
Yeah, I expect fully that this is the reason for the libido surge. My libido is good anyway but good god, the past couple days it has been crazy. I only took the 65mg early because I didn’t want levels to be low at trough when starting out. I fully expect to feel more normal two weeks from now, which is fine with me. I don’t want to be sexually frustrated 24/7. Im due for another 65 tomorrow morning, so it will start leveling out.
Will I crash or feel crappy once my levels lower a bit? Or will I feel just more normal again? LOL sorry if that’s a dumb question.
Everyone’s different. Man, I made so many protocol changes over the years before I got it right. My body is sensitive to delta T just as much as total T. There were times I felt great increasing dose but usually on on the delta up. And times I felt great lowering on the way down. Stable T on the long esters just didn’t work for me. Now I’m on a combination of prop and cream. I can mimic natural diurnal variation and capture that delta daily each way now. I cruised on 500mg/wk at one point and even at that dose I flattened out eventually. Hormones are finicky.
Right, thanks for the insight man, 500mg/week? holy crap, I think I would go crazy at that dose.
It’s weird tho. Combined with my prop and cream(hard to calculate absorption rate) I’m approximately 120mg/wk and feel way better at that dose than at 500.
See that actually makes sense too me. There has to be a point where it is too much. I can tell you Thursday morning after I took that 65 shot, I felt really jittery and anxious because of the surge you refer too. Libido didn’t go out of control until that night, but it made me wonder, how do people take sooo much of this stuff. I would feel like ass. I will also be around 120-130 a week on this two shot per week protocol and I think that will be just fine. I felt good on 100mg per week, but I was starting to feel the peak and valley effect. It took six months for me to feel that effect, but it reared its head.
You’re on the right track. Low and slow.

Appreciate that bro, I wouldn’t have changed anything had I not have hit those valleys on Friday and Saturday nights. I assume its from FT dropping, my SHGB is high(65) so at peak on 100mg my TT was 1276 but FT only 124 which is mid range. Should have been way higher than that, I am just afraid this new split of 65/65 will cause a jump in my numbers and when I get blood work done in January my doc will make me reduce my dose. I will make sure to get it done at trough though this time, not peak. Don’t wanna deal with any political BS.
You’re lucky. I’m very low SHBG. 15 at one point. Got it around 25 the healthier I got, still really low. Its made TRT difficult. You should be smooth sailing from here. Don’t stress. You’re armed with great info from here to work with your dr’s. You know how you feel.

Yeah you guys have been great man. All of you. Dex and systemlord have been my mentors practically. My doc is also super chill and laid back, he knows that I am not an idiot and is ok with me making minor changes, hes not a control freak about my TRT so I am lucky in that regard. Yeah my SHBG was 77 when I first started, went to 65 after 4 months of TRT. I expect its because my TT was SO low when I got bloods done. It was only 50ng/dl. I have had Low T since I was 27, 32 now. Finally gave up and went on TRT. I am healthy and in shape and I have been since my mid 20’s so that’s why its elevated as well. I would like to see it around 45 or so, but I doubt it will get there. Yeah I have heard people with lower SHGB have problems on TRT due E2 issues. I guess i’d rather have higher SHBG than lower, but its still a pain in the ass lol, lots of my T is bound up, i’d like it to be bioavailable. That’s why I was hesitant to go to two smaller shots a week, was afraid it wouldn’t overcome my SHBG.
Morning y’all. So thought I would just update some of you on how the new shot schedule is going. Took my second 65mg shot yesterday. Took my first Wednesday night. Thus far I have noticed the following.
-more consistent feeling of energy, good mood and alertness.
-palps are gone, as is the slight anxiety I felt on one shot a week.
-libido isn’t coming in giant surges. It’s more level and consistent. Was able to have sex twice yesterday on shot day and once this morning.
-Test “high” is gone, some guys like this and I understand why but it’s not a huge deal too me.
-just a general feeling of normal consistently. Not too high not too low.
-Haven’t felt any valleys yet but it’s only been a week.
Overall I feel really good and I think this is going to work better than 100mg per week. I was impressed on how I felt on shot day. Usually with my 100mg shot day it was hit or miss. I felt amazing or I felt blah while my body balanced the hormones. One question though. My body acne is actually going away on this schedule. I find that odd because my dose has technically increased. Any thoughts on that? As always appreciate everyone’s input
Couple of thoughts on this. First, your body could be getting used to the new androgens you’ve introduced and could be just normalizing. But I think what’s probably happening is your body has less to deal with all at once and can handle the androgens more efficiently in the smaller, more frequent doses.
I had bacne I was concerned about when I increased my dose, but over time it just got better and now it’s non existent even though I’m on the highest dose thus far of 42mg EOD.
Sounds like things are going really well for you after your change. Keep it up and stay the course!

Thanks buddy. That was my theory as well regarding the body acne. Hopefully it keeps up.

I will say though when I’ve changed my dose in the past, I would have a small period of time where I’d get a few pimples, but with time and consistency, they went away.
It’s difficult to accept for me because I’m usually impatient, but time plus consistency is the name of the game with this stuff.
I hear you dude me too. That’s why I was so hesistant to change my shot schedule. I felt good on 100mg per week and I knew what to expect. I like knowing what to expect. But once the valleys on Saturdays became too much and I got moody then the palps the day after shot day I knew it was time to change.
