Injection frequency and dosage?

[MOMAN]

I've been on TRT for several years with a protocol of 100mg cypionate per week. My injection frequency is every 3.5 days. At this dose my E2 and HCT were always just barely below the cap for normal range.

I was wondering if anyone could comment on their experience of injecting every other day? Will I be able to tolerate a slightly higher dose (say 125mg/week) after switching? My thoughts were since wouldn't be having as many peeks and valleys maybe my E2 and HCT might still fall in the normal range. Thanks in advance..

A small elevation may actually be beneficial.

This has worked for some of our members, while others have the opposite experience.

I do twice a week with Cypionate too and like that cycle, because I don't feel my levels going down on day 3 or 4, I only notice it going down by day 5 (if I forget a dose.)

The only reason to inject more frequently is if you feel the level going down before your next shot. Cypionate has a longer life cycle, so it should still be fully active in your system.

Do you feel it going down? Or is it always feeling low?

Likely your level is simply too low. I would suggest you add more to your two weekly dosages rather than adding other injections.

Thank you all for the information on your experiences. It was just a thought I had. I'm pretty happy with how I feel on the 3.5 day protocol. Sometimes good is good enough.
