Where are injecting subq other then belly area?

Thanks for clarifying madman. Maybe that is why no one talks about it lol. I was thinking about role of lymphatic system after several very strange subq experiences with Test Suspension where I felt physically sick, but did not experience that same side effect with IM. But as you know...

Its also about convenience. Guys who are injecting small amounts daily often choose subq because its so easy - 5/16 into belly fat you don't even feel it. That's important is you are doing hundreds of injections every year (and thousands over a lifetime). One thing that get little attention...

Keep it simple. Split your current weekly dose in two. Your levels are plenty high enough already. Don't mess with HCG until you iron out your new E3.5 days protocol

FYI, Pure Encapsulations makes a 5mg DHEA capsule that allows for lower dosing

For EOD, you may want to keep it simple and just double to dose. If it were me, I would lower the dose regardless of frequency, but then again I don't do well at top of TT range.

If you feel better on shallow IM, why not try injecting EOD instead of daily to make it more doable? Some guys seem to like EOD. Also, you may want to reduce HCG. Many including myself feel like garbage on it. Keep on experimenting! (although most would say give it 8 weeks between...

Why not work your way down gradually before going cold turkey? You are in for a rough ride (but you know that already)

Normal range E2 / TT ratio is around 0.3-0.6%. Even with TRT (low dose), I tend to hover around 0.25 - 0.30% so on low side. My TRT clinic was reluctant to suggest using estradiol product because its apparently easy to overdo it. As alternative, they suggested supplementing with DHEA to...

Has your A-fib gone away since reducing dose? Early on in my TRT journey, I experienced a bounding heart for several days while I was at high end TT on trough day. It spooked me so I reduced dose and sure enough the problem went away thankfully. Not the same as A-fib, but just another...

Glad to hear you are feeling better, but 5 days is not much time. It would be good to see update in 1-2 months

The libido issues started on your old protocol? Increasing the dose to supraphysiologic levels never seems to work and can even make it worse.

The beauty of self-administering your injections is that you ultimately control the dose. I am also low dose guy (7-8 mg per day) and have so much leftover T in my vials its kind of ridiculous. You won't need the AI if you start at reasonable dose.

What is the UGL situation you refer to with the Chinese production facilities for the raw powder? I would not expect any interruption in supply to last long. There is so much $$ involved driven by worldwide demand

When you are only drawing 7-8mg TE daily, its nothing.

Most daily guys inject Subq with small 5/16" 31 gauge needles. You don't even feel it. Are you currently injecting IM? Reducing dose usually helps with sleep. Although my sleep sucks even on low dose and I've been on daily TRT for years lol. What is your weekly dose?

I am same way - even 8mg of TE results in early AM awakenings. Just a wired feeling with steady state. Regarding the blend, here is long thread. I no longer blend and instead do two separate injections - one TE and the other TP. Same idea. No big deal with 31 gauge 5/16 insulin syringes for...

Are still injecting estradiol? If yes, what is your latest protocol?

Some guys seem to do well on the higher ED doses, but I am definitely not one of them. From the many accounts I've read, even 10mg of TE/TC will put most guys at top of TT range. There is a very long thread on another forum by a bodybuilder talking about the potency of 10mg per day. If you...

Did you feel any difference when you switched from phenylpropionate to TE/TC?

Are you certain you are only injecting 100 mg of TE per week? Sometimes these unusual test numbers are result of new users incorrectly calculating their dose. I say this respectfully because I've been there!

Try 10mg daily subq injections (31 gauge 5/16" insulin needles). Quite a forum members have had success lowering hematocrit moving to low dose daily. Many guys will easily hit TT of 700 on 10mg daily.

My friend, you are playing with house money at 93 years old. Do whatever makes you happy at this point. The fact that you have any libido is a minor miracle. And I hope you are not trolling us :) because I want to believe...

Are you still using 10mg daily phenylpropionate? Any more test results to share?

I now think that TP related anxiety is driven by a surge in E2 more than the total E2 level. Any maybe that is applicable to all forms of short-acting T. For example, on Natesto and other acting nasal gels, I would often experience mini anxiety attacks several hours after the T spike had...

Did you ever say why you are switching from TP to TC?

Of course, there is only one way for you to find out if TU is the answer and that is by experimenting. But it could a long ride down if you later determine that your body does not respond well to a longer-acting ester.

One disadvantage of TU is that you get locked into a dose level for a longer period of time versus say a short-acting ester like TP which allows you to easily play with different doses.

That is good to hear. It will be interesting to see your TT/E2 ratio for next blood test. I have had similar low E2 results. As I mentioned above, what I find challenging about the 50 mg/ml concentration is the large volume you need to inject compared to usual. I a slowly getting used to...

This is incorrect. Morning wood does not necessarily mean you have sexual desire. You can have one, but not the other. That is the maddening part.

I recall reading many of your posts. Are there any specific dopaminergic drugs that you had libido success with?
