Yes, I am slightly under 50mg per week now on daily Enan-Prop blend (see post below). Ester type is a big factor though. Daily Prop-only at 56mg per week put me well over top of range when testing at peak (4 hours post-injection)...

I can't speak to the Gonadorelin, but I had same experience on Natesto and Empower nasal gels/creams. Looks great on paper, but nothing for libido. In fairness, I also struck on libido with injectables. There are some great discussions on the forum about dopamine being more important than T...

Poking shallow IM holes into muscle on daily basis is only going to get old fast. While I prefer IM from subjective standpoint, I shifted to Subq for low dose daily for convenience.

There are a number of us dosing around 50mg per week so you would not be alone! Also, after only two weeks, you are probably still feeling effects of original dosing. Like @Belekas mentioned, knock down dose slightly maybe to 8mg per day. If you don't mind EOD, might as well try ED. Just...

Rarely, but I inject small amounts (5 units) of Enan-Prop blend with these insulin needles. One thing that has may have helped me is to inject at 90 degree angle instead of 45 degrees which was giving me more frequent PIP

Just use smaller amount on other areas. As mentioned, inner bicep is a good one. I also found that torso area (near lat) works well since lots of surface area with no hair.

Why not drop the HCG for now and dial-in your cypionate dose? You can always add it back in later

Were you adding cream to get some daily fluctuation? Or to boost DHT?

The irony of Lions Mane causing hair loss... Are taking it as standalone supplement? I've seen it mixed into lots of powder supplements.

I doubt you would notice it much. I just figure to go with smallest needle possible for a life time of injections.

Here is my vote, but I use for daily dosing small amounts (usually around 5 units) injecting subq into belly area. Does not take long at all. But for bigger amounts, you want want larger gauge needle like 29...

Applied to labia? Or anywhere?

What is your daily Cypionate dose? Usual rule of thumb is wait 8 weeks for things to settle down. You can input your protocol in link below to get rough idea of how long it takes to build up and dissipate. https://www.steroidplotter.com/

Like making a cup of coffee every morning

You seem to respond well to Prop if I recall, but maybe ease back into it with 66/33 to avoid those late day Prop crashes

Another vote for Defy Medical.

What was your TT at week 11? It looks like the external T has continued to stack from your week 6 test

You are a 42 year old professional athlete? In what sport?

But to be clear, I did not experience apnea before TRT. Did you already have apnea pre-TRT? Did you put on weight with Enan/Cyp? If so, switching to Prop may only help to minimize it versus exacerbating with the medium esters.

We've had number of discussions on Prop peak and there was no consensus because the subjective experience seemed to differ from the studies which were older. Agreed that IM peaks faster, but subjectively I am still in camp of about 4 hours even for Subq, especially being a lean guy. I recall...

I would like to push that Free T up, but that is the dilemma. Increasing dose will inevitably wreck my sleep. That seems to be the key tension in TRT. I've actually tried that that LOL with low dose Prop. Results were decent, but a PITA injecting 2d daily. It wasn't worth it in my opinion

Original Cyp dose that caused the water weight gain was standard 100mg 2x weekly. I initially thought it was muscle until someone here explained that such rapid weight gain is mostly fluid. Some guys seem more susceptible than others to the water gain. I should have added above that ester...

Not many docs advocate the blended approach, especially since it means you will potentially mix it yourself in sterile vial (although you could inject separately). That is good point about B12 and is why I try to avoid most supplements these days. It's just one more variable to deal with...

You may want to limit your variables in the beginning and focus just on TRT, adding in HCG down the road if you feel the need. HCG is a wildcard with guys reacting very differently

Inspired by @Cataceous, I have been tinkering with Enan/Prop blends for the past year. The idea behind the daily blend is to re-introduce daily T fluctuation. Inject first thing in morning to peak early in day and let levels come down overnight. For example, Cat’s personal data based on 4:3...

Ventro glute (VG) also good injection site for shallow IM. More you can rotate IM the better. Most people here avoid the quads

If you go the daily route, be aware that subq injections are the only practical option for the long term (unless you want to jab your muscle every day for the next 20 years). Lots of threads on here with advice for subq technique and which needles to use.

It will be interesting see how you fare with 1:1 versus 4:1. I lose water weight as soon as I increase the prop percentage.

It must be scanning this forum and not Reddit...

To add to other comments, you are injecting 2x the amount of T that healthy male produces naturally and your body is rebelling.

I've been following your posts on cream. I did try cream-only and just got too amped up on it similar to what some others have experienced. Not sure if that is the DHT increase. One protocol that has some promise is injectable base with cream for daily variation. I had some success but went...
