Anyone who has gone to EOD shots. Or has trialled it and gone back to something else. Leave a message. I’m on 2 shots ev 3.5 days. And am considering going to EOD (E2D) shots. Cheers.
I went from
Shots every 2 weeks, to weekly, to e3d and now eod.
I feel like I recognize the effects of the test better on eod.
I do anywhere between 25-36 mg eod. I think with such frequent dosing, altering dose by only a few mgs will have a big effect. I am finding I need to be closer to 25mg eod or I lose effect.
I may play w ed dosing at some point.
I went from 50mg e3.5 days to 34-40mg EOD. There was a small transition period I felt off, but once my body got used to the new cadence, I feel quite a bit better.
Reason I switched is because one blood test had my shbg at 16 and I read more frequent dosing helped lower shbg. Most recent shbg is 31 now, but I’m still staying in EOD because I like the way I feel and can tell when the test is working.
Edit: just thought I’d add that I’m doing sub-q as well. Never did an im shot. Also, only taking test c, no AI or HCG.
EOD is nice and smooth! You will feel the difference going from EW or E3D since you’re not injecting a huge amount all at once you won’t get the “high” in the short term but in the long term things are MUCH better, stable levels as it builds up around 6-8 weeks in you’ll get the “high” again but this time it will be consistent and steady not a rollercoaster ride.
I definitely felt better and more consistent going from twice weekly to EOD, but recently switched to everyday dosing to lower estrogen.
Thanks Roscoe, yeah I’m starting to stabilise on ev 3.5 day shots. But I think e2d could be the way to go for me. Mainly to not peak too high. And feel more balanced overall
I tried sub c twice. And my body doesn’t accept test via sub c. hCG is no problem via sub c. My current protocol is IM in the qaud ev Monday morning 62.5mg. And same on Thursday arvo. hCG atm is 150 iu E2D. Thanks for the input
Has anyone switched to Prop FROM Eth as your injecting E2D? If I decide to switch to E2D. I will. Continue on Eth at about 25-30 mg E2D. But Prop would be useful in an e2d protocol imo.
You’re all over alot of different forums over the years system lord. How long have you been on TRT?
I have been on TRT for about 1.5 years, Test prop can sting like a bitch when injecting. I’m on ethanate since I can only get cypionate in cottonseed for which I’m allergic, took me about a year to figure it out.
I have heard ethanate causes less water retention than cypionate, at least that’s what I keep hearing.
Yeah Prop does cork if my memory serves me well 10 years back. A small amount shouldn’t be too bad but…
For now I’ll stay of Enth. No need to rush into changing that…
Anyone against me changing to E2D after only 6 weeks on TRT roughly?..
I feel there won’t really be a transitional period…
Who knows maybe I won’t like it?..
I just don’t want to have to go through a big ass change again…
Changing from 62.5mg ev 3.5 days to, 30mg E2D shouldn’t effect me that greatly in a way of a "change “ to the system. Should it???
I’m hoping it will keep me a little more calm and not a bit skiddish sometimes. I dunno how I did so much in my late teens.
If I was to inject 3-4ml a week these days. I reckon I chew some ***** face off lol
What is the science or thinking that just because you inject everyday or EOD, that you are going to lower E2? The body is still going to aromatize excess T into E2 especially if that person is fat.
There will always be a transitional period when changing doses or any changes to protocols. It’s difficult to recommended a protocol without knowing your SHBG levels, if it’s about midrange then you might needlessly suffer for 6 weeks.
If you inject 12 mg everyday versus 25mg every 2 days, when testosterone peaks, estrogen will peak higher the larger the dosage.
In other words my body can only aromatase so much in a 24 hour period if I feed it less testosterone.
Is there science to back it up? It makes sense, logically. Thanks for the quick response. How long have you been on this protocol? Noticeable benefits?
Needlessly suffer for 6 weeks until what. You say stabilised again? SHBG atm is unknown. 6 weeks ago. Shit I can’t even remember. It’s on my log. Maybe 20—30?.. Why would i suffer/feel off if SHBG was midway or above when going to E2D systemlord??? Cheers
More frequent injections would lower it or no opposite effect???
If memory serves me correct. More frequent injections Can lower SHBG. So if that’s the case. You thinking i may feel off for a while as I’d begin to have less Free T bound up by SHBG. N perhaps could lead to my slight skiddishness feeling so to say??!
Yeah and no acne from my exp 10 years back.
I’m still undecided whether to change to E2D. I. Don’t wanna feel off for a bit atm in my life where it is right now. Mainly a new relationship.
It’s Monday morning here tomorrow so I guess I’ll just be doing 62.5mg again for now. Hopefully I’m not peaking on Wednesday.
