TRT Experts! Experiences on Going to EOD Shots

Most people probably know my story so I wont harp on about the whole shebang but as you know I am/was high SHBG and went to eod. I fell so much more stable. Granted 2xwk MAY have produced a similar feeling but I’ll never know that. It also could be placebo, again I’ll never know because I feel good and I’m sticking with it.

It is also of note that I use sustanon so I get the benefit of the prop and phenylprop pinning eod.

More frequent dosing doesn’t lower SHBG, if anything it will allow it to increase a little. My SHBG went from 16->22 switching to EOD, from larger injections twice weekly.

Get SHBG tested and you’ll know if EOD will show good results, otherwise you could be needlessly leaving an optimal protocol.

Yeah I might just stick to ev 3.5 days for a while longer then atm

I have never tried ED or EOD my doc put me on 3 times a week M/W/F because my SHGB runs between 22-29. Back in July I decided to try twice a week like you are on because I’m getting sick of sticking myself so often. So far so good. I feel great with a good libido and strong in the gym. Only bad blood tests would ever make me go back to more frequent shots. YMMV

Yeah nice. Thanks alot for the post hrdlvn. Great to hear you’re doing sweet. How long did it take you to stabilise so to speak and feel awesome on every 3.5 days?

I’m starting to feel I may just need to learn to control myself so to speak and get use to my 62.5mg ev Monday n Thursday. I just feel a bit skiddish day or 2 after shot. But not in a good way. Its not a fun skiddish so to speak…

All the drugs I’ve done over the years I also feel the extra dopamine and seretonin flowing around is apart of it. I look a bit off my face.

I hope I can get a handle on it. Or I’ll try a smaller more frequent doses. If that doesn’t help. I’m just going to have to learn to live with it and that’s how my body is reacting to exogenous test. :+1:

Back when I started TRT it took me about a year to find what weekly dose worked best for me. I have been stable ever since. Been on TRT over 3 years now.
I know what anxiety feels like and it is no fun. Smaller doses more often might help you it would be worth a try. Give your new protocol several weeks to balance out.
Also keep a good eye on your Free T and never let it get over range even on peak days. That was the biggest lesson I learned in all my experimenting.
Good luck.

I’m doing EOD 50mg 160xcyp/40 propionate. I have high SHBG between 35-55. Is EOD only recommended for guys with low SHBG?

This is not true, I had known high SHBG men who require an EOD protocol do to being hyper excreters and/or hypers metabolizer and cannot keep levels elevated unless on an EOD protocol.

I don’t know from where it came that high SHBG men cannot inject more frequently.

Thank you. I also don’t take AI, beccause I heard so many people saying is bad for you, does EOD will increase my estrogen more than E3D

If you can do TRT without drugs than great, because you will likely feel more benefits without it. If you dose it smartly, than EOD estrogen will be lower. In most cases hematocrit will be lower as well, not always but in most cases.

EOD should decrease your estrogen, or so say several guys on here who have tried it. The bigger less frequent shots are reported to help lower SHBG and work better for guys with high SHBG because it gives them more free T. However, your SHBG is pretty fluid and will drop on TRT, it goes up in response to low Total T, your body uses it to store the test when it isn’t getting enough.

Thank you very much guys

The “Dr” that I go to, he usually prescribed one shot a week, what an idiot, I get better information on this site than with “professionals”.

Doctors in the sick care system are not known for thinking outside the box, mostly doctors follow guidelines and refrain from deviating from standard of care which is at the heart of the problem, there is virtually no standard of care for TRT.

Everyone will have different needs, treatment should be tailored to an individual and to be able to do this one needs to think outside the box.

You cannot prescribe the same protocol to everyone and expect good results.

200mg/wk and no AI. Boy you better be doing bloods often. HCT and E2 can both go way out of control taking that much T mono.

Do you take Anastrazole?

Yes. My protocol 120mg/wk in two shots and with each 60mg shot I take one .125mg anastrozole also 400iu x2 on the same days.

You SHBG increased a lot with EOD.

@young_forever
What number was it before and then what number after? Some folks have a different definition of a lot.

How do you know it wasn’t a natural daily fluctuation? Working out within 24 hours SHBG will increase.
