Switching up Protocol for TRT

Hello everyone, I need some insight. I currently am on 160mg testosterone cypionate, 1000iu HCG for atrophy, and .5mg Anastrazole weekly.

My usual protocol is:
Monday- 160mg Test Cyp, 1000iu HCG
Tuesday- .5mg Anastrazole

I am thinking about switching to this protocol

Monday- 80mg Test Cyp
Wed- 1000iu HCG
Thursday- 80mg Test Cyp
Friday- .5mg Anastrazole

With 1x a week I felt like I was converting to too much DHT, and my E2 was elevated. I have some pretty bad acne, but had it when I was a teen as well

Please give me advice, and should I feel a big drop off in serum levels with splitting?

What exactly does it feel like to convert too much to DHT, and how would splitting your dosage change that?

Placebo effect aside, you won’t feel a bit of difference.

Your HCG protocol is odd. I would consider splitting this up to 2-3x weekly before your test.

The DHT bump I ā€œfeel,ā€ is increased bacne. Trying to lower my burst of T, and keep it elevated more stable.

I will look into the HCG frequency, I’m up for advice.

I do 500iu twice a week but needed 1000iu daily to get fertility up and running

Splitting doses is fine, though I suspect you will find little difference in bacne. Try it and find out, e3.5d dosing is quite popular.
