I have not, thanks for bringing this up.
Since injecting everyday, I generally get the blood draw about 2hrs post injection, but sometime I believe I went prior injection, and levels come back about the same.
However, I have gone in the past in the late afternoon, and TT seems to come back...
it is still hard to believe to me my body is able to clear that fast testosterone even if I inject it daily, but I understand now that this can be the main reason why my levels are not above range with this dose. Unless at the cellular level things look different.
throughout the years I used mostly the direct method. However, since the discussions in here, a couple years ago I started to use the Equilibrium ultrafiltration from LabCorp, and FT levels came back about the same as direct method. I also calculated FT with the Tru calculator, and FT matched...
Considering the daily natural production of a healthy young male, you would think that if someone inject 100mg tot weekly either using a daily or EOD protocol with an ester like Cypionate, we would see both TT and FT above range, theoretically.
However, people like me: for example I inject...
it makes sense, especially with primary hypo. Perhaps then just like Thyroid and TSH, fully suppressing LH may mean we are taking in too much Test, or too much in one dose.
Doesn’t LH go to 0 regardless of the dose of testosterone used when using an ester like cypionate? I would guess then people daily microdosing with such a ester type don’t have their LH down to 0
@madman
Do you believe then that when using TC/TE at once or twice per week injection schedule, is actually more advantageous/normal for the body, vs on a ED schedule when same ester is used since there is going to be a more pronounced peak and valley, even thought that is not lived daily?
I was doing some research with ai, according to anecdotes around the internet, subcutaneous injections seem to give more consistent results than nasal spray. I may try the injection.
At this point the blend Propionate/CYP or ENA to take daily, may be probably the best physiological option to get test into circulation considering metabolites conversion with some daily fluctuation in T, without letting testosterone dropping too low a couple of times in 24hr like the orals do...
