Understood. Its going to take awhile for your body and mind to adjust to the reduced dose. Conventional wisdom around here is that you only adjust one variable at a time - so either dose, frequency or injection type but not at the same time. A lesson I learned the hard way...

Which ester are you using? What is your Total T? 8mg daily is major decrease from 30mg EOD. That is one reason you felt crappy.

If anyone is interested, you can buy lower dose Preg @ 5mg by Douglas Labs. I have a bottle of it sitting in my box of failed supplements lol. Like mentioned above, I seem to remember pattern of feeling good for 1-2 days and then crappy - similar to a hangover. Same with Progesterone. Its...

The fact that none of the men showed increase in libido is interesting. Then again, these were guys were young so probably had normal levels of libido to begin with.

TNE definitely different from TP. Must faster hitting. A little goes a long way in my experience. I tried both Suspension (water based) and TNE (oil based). @Cataceous started a thread on it here...

To be clear, I am not on TP only anymore. Too much of a roller coaster like you mentioned. Hence the reason for the TE/TP blend. At the moment, I am on TE low dose daily (7mg). I had been experimenting with adding no ester T to spike the TE steady state levels. Thanks for tip on using...

Good question Andro. Intentionally manipulating DHT is probably one of the few things I have not tried lol. I did mess around with transdermal T cream, which supposedly raises DHT levels more than T injections, but I did not fully commit. Like you, I blow up like a tick with traditional TRT...

Maybe ditch the HCG to see if BP comes down

Have you recently increased TRT/HCG dose or added supplement which might explain the sudden increase in BP?

With your experience, you probably already know that you will feel shitty for awhile reducing from 100mg to 60mg weekly even with improved sleep

Regarding date night, I had hoped for the same libido-on-demand, but unfortunately no increase in libido. Taking that into account, not worth the money for me personally. But your results may differ so no harm in trying it

I did not continue in part because squirting that stuff up my nose 2-3 times per day was not sustainable long term. It may be worth trying if you want to maintain HTPA, but not many guys seems to use it long term.

Thanks for reporting back & good luck

Many thanks for the responses. I have experimented a lot with daily Prop and found that standalone TP - even at low doses - is too much of a roller coaster ending in afternoon crash. I had even tried 2x daily with TP but was underwhelmed. Hence the reason there are guys (including me)...

As a longtime daily guy, I am always curious about protocols like yours. Couple of questions: 1. When on 60mg, was that 1x per week? If yes, why the reduction to 50mg? 2. Also, why do you say 5 days would be ideal? 3. How is your sleep on 1x week versus daily? Just wondering if that big...

are you on HCG or any other supplement? That E2 seems high compared to TT.

Our resident guru @Cataceous pioneered the approach of blending a medium-ester like TC or TE with Prop for fluctuation using a 4:3 ratio. You can see a long thread about it here. https://www.excelmale.com/threads/tips-on-how-to-blend-propionate-with-enanthate-or-cypionate.23485/ But you don't...

For the record, I am most definitely not opposed to manufacturing T peaks. The upside to being a hyper sensitivity type is its easier to create a morning spike using small amount of TP or TNE. I have experimented extensively with small amounts of fast acting T to create a morning peak

I have never mediated a day in my life and have the same acute sensitivity to even 1-2 mg changes in TP. My guess is that guys like us are more likely to feel the physical effects of rise in BP, CNS stimulation or maybe vasodilation. It is even stronger surge feeling with no ester testosterone...

What creatine dose are you taking daily?

A popular protocol is 10mg daily subq injections w/ small gauge 5/16 needles (70mg per week). That would certainly blunt your peaks assuming that is what is driving up your hematocrit

Why would you start TRT at 28 years old? Sounds like you were doing just fine. Everyone has brain fog. It's part of the human condition.

Are you taking the Nitric Oxide lozenges with the tadalafil?

The easiest way is to get the prescription for TP and then use leftover TE for the blend assuming you have some. Learn to play the game because your doc is in tough spot. Next option is to get the prescription for TP and try that on its own. Some guys do well with the strong spike from...

Here are the needles I prefer. Like you said, drawing small amount does not take long. Injecting into belly fat. Preparing 2nd injection takes barely any time at all. https://www.excelmale.com/threads/daily-subqers-5-stars-for-bd-ultra-fine-insulin-syringe-31g-3-10cc-5-16.24643/ Regarding...

I have experimented a lot with blends thanks to Cat. But so you know, you don't have to actually blend the TE and TP into a sterile vial to try it. When you are first starting, you can simply inject the TP separately from the TE. No big deal when you are using 5/16 31 gauge needles injecting...

What are your levels on 10mg daily including SHBG?

FYI, there is a popular protocol of 10mg TE or TC daily that seems keep many at top end of TT range. Amazing what only 70mg a week can do if injected daily.

As @BadassBlues pointed out, the ebb and flow is what creates balance. For example, quite a few of us here have experimented with blends of medium and fast acting esters to create a spike in the morning with a trough at night instead of a constant state of CNS arousal 24 hours a day. I...

Funk can you explain how the testing works with this Janoshik? Are individuals sending him samples to test? Or is he doing it on behalf of suppliers?

Sounds like you are doing well with minimal side effects. One piece of advice - don't chase numbers that look ideal on paper. While ranges can certainly help guide you, we all respond a bit differently as you will see on this forum. Some guys feel great at 900 TT / 20 FT while others feel like...
