First two weeks of daily injections I felt so good. Erections were better then they had been. Now that’s dipped up along with libido. Libido isnt terrible but did decline some. I would say I feel okay but the erection issues are so frustrating.

Okay so I have continued to lower my dose and added Hcg back in as well. also implemented daily injections due to the low shbg that I have. Dropped the AI completely. Please see my recent results.

If you start on a Monday do you skip the following Monday with a EOD protocol? Or does Monday restart the week, mean Sunday and Monday you have injections?

I have a really dumb question. How do you figure out the dosage for EOD? So one week you inject 4 days and the next week 3 days?

Understandable. I feel like I’m already chasing my tail. I honestly don’t care about numbers. I’m tired of feeling so messed up. It’s mentally draining as well. Thank you.

So doctor prescribed me Hcg today so I can drop the other stuff. I’m going to do the EOD injections. So my dosage is 160mg. So that’s roughly 45mg EOD?

Does it raise in any particular form? So if I stopped the AI and estrogen rises it should rise too?

Wow Madman thank you for all your reply's and all the great information. When they found out my SHBG was low I felt like they were unsure how to address it. I had researched and found that more frequent injections was better in my case like you stated. I just did not want to change things on my...

So I held off on getting blood work and had my appointment with my doctor. He said he believes my prolactin levels are high and wanted to test them. So I had them tested and they are normal but it came back with low SHGB. How do I correct that?
