Skipped 3 pins and felt great
6+ weeks Probably not, remember your SHBG is extremely low, and your free DHT is likely very good. You can always experiment with scrotal cream at some point if you want to see what supraphysiologic DHT feels like.- FunkOdyssey

I wouldn't start with bigger injections, I would start with IM as your first experiment. If you need some inspiration, just go to reddit, and look at how many people feel like hot garbage on SC.- FunkOdyssey

Skipped 3 pins and felt great
Higher E2 with SC than with IM is a very common finding in the real world. It's happened to many men on this very forum (including myself) and if you search on Reddit you will find many (many, many) more examples. When this happens, how does it happen? My hypothesis: esterases needed to...- FunkOdyssey

I missed this earlier. Are you obese? Are you insulin resistant? What does your lipid panel (HDL and Triglycerides), fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin look like? E2 at 47 means sky high free E2 with single digit SHBG. You may have some work to do on metabolic health before you will...- FunkOdyssey

I recall you were injecting subq - have you switched to IM yet? Must try if that hasn't been done yet. Otherwise, I would try another formula of injectable T, and if that fails another modality. It seems like your current formula is going to make you feel like shit every time you inject it, so...- FunkOdyssey

Took 4 days off my EOD injections and feel great. Need advice
Absolutely, yes. The idea that SHBG predicts what injection frequency will be optimal for you is an old wives' tale.- FunkOdyssey

It's a reasonable thing to try, among many other reasonable things to try (different esters/formulas, different injection methods/sites/depths, other forms of TRT like topical and oral). You would like accurate predictions about how you will respond to these various interventions, to save...- FunkOdyssey

New To TRT - Compounded Cream Sides
There isn't enough emphasis on the fact that weird and unpleasant symptoms are quite possible when starting TRT, which are likely temporary, and shouldn't be interpreted to mean you cannot tolerate TRT generally or even the particular form you're using. I'm certain I also reached a bunch of...- FunkOdyssey

Experiences and Questions: Personal Experiments with Oral Native Testosterone Base & Enclomiphene (TRT+), Testosterone Propionate, HCG and more
We suggest once per day dosing because it is simple and effective for the majority of patients. Some 10% of patients seem to prefer twice daily dosing, so it can be worth experimenting with. It may seem counterintuitive, but there is often no strong relationship between your serum level of...- FunkOdyssey

Dosage for women's testosterone ?
No, it's not possible that injections will fail to raise her levels. If you inject subq, maybe a percentage is lost to the void like sometimes happens with test, but in that case you just inject more. The levels will come up. 1.2 mg estradiol cypionate EOD, 299 pg/ml total E2, 3.56 pg/ml free...- FunkOdyssey

Cypionate or enanthate. We started with E3.5D but had better results with EOD cypionate.- FunkOdyssey
