More frequent fluctuations is the only thing that works for me. Weekly and twice weekly, I feel nothing at all. Not everyone will respond to TRT with flat and steady hormones and this is one reason why many men don’t do well on Nebido.
It would be no different than if you put everyone on TRT on a daily protocol.
I’ve stuck to mostly twice a week or more shots for the entire time I’ve been on trt (I’ve tried once a week but not for longer than 3 to 4 weeks at a time). Not really sure what else to try at this point. E2 is always good, prolactin is middle of the range or below, and I’ve had my test at trough between 550 and 1000.
I had a little success on 40mg every other day.
What systemlord is saying is that you’ll need to get blood work at each protocol and figure out where you feel best at.
And some levels may yield a decent libido, and others may only give a good mood. My experience is that different levels of Test bring different results.
Theres been studies published and linked on here that aromatase has a direct effect on libido.
Basically as you are aromatizing you get horny.
It’s a fine balance though, as to be doing what we do and to have the hormones at the right levels so as you are aromatizing when your T and E2 ratios are hitting the right levels in sync and ratios to be right is a fine balancing act.
If you look at the half life of anastrazole its about worn off as you are getting close to your next jab (so you start aromatizing and feel some libido), definitely correlates with what you are experiencing.
I’ve experimented with this and my dose and schedule is not dissimilar to you. I found using 0.2mg anastrazole twice weekly or even 0.2mg e4d a bit more libido friendly. I occasionally use a bit more if I can feel e2 creeping up. Sometime miss it for a while if it feels low.
I’m now of the belief with anastrozole you have to go slightly on feel, just using a constant dose doesnt work for me as physiology isnt always constant.
How do you get 0.2mg of anastrazole? I have 1mg tablets. I assume you have compounded tabs?
You’re correct, compounded AI have an advantage at least for men.
Do you get .2 tablets? I talked to my doc and he only knows of .25mg available. Where do you get it? I’ve been cutting my 1mg tabs to .25 but I don’t think it’s consistent… and i was wanting to try and different level anyway. I’ve just never used a compounding pharm so not sure how it works.
Hi. No I get 1mg tabs also.
If you cut them in half (bad word), but slightly over to one side. Split the smaller of that in to two and the larger side then breaks into three.
Its not exact but they’re about 0.2 each.
Liquid research chemicals give the best dosing options…1mg is approximately 20 drops, so dosing drops allows very accurate dosing is very easy to do.
I agree as long as you trust your research chemical source. I’d almost rather go with my ugl. It’s way less money, and it’s all legit so far. But I try not to split hairs. Ai (I use adex) is strong shit, but I wouldn’t be fussing about 0.2 or 0.25 mg (all they have is 1 mg, and I’m not splitting more than quarters).
If I wanted to be as accurate as possible, I’d make my own liquid adex, by crushing a trusted pill and dissolving it in vodka. After that I’d buy a research chemical.
I find how empty my stomach is has a big impact on a.i as well. Seems like it doesnt all absorb if taken with or after food. Empty stomach and its very noticeably more potent.
These two statements contradict each other. “Approximately” doesn’t fit with “very accurate” dosing
