[QUOTE="madman, post: 183444, member: 13851"] Pointless to switch injection protocol now. When one is starting trt or tweaking their protocol (increasing/decreasing dose) hormones will be in FLUX leading up until blood levels stabilize at 4-6 weeks. Top it off with the fact that when first starting we are increasing T levels with the use of exogenous testosterone while at the same time natural endogenous production will eventually cease due to the shutdown of the hpta which can take 2-6 weeks depending on the dose of T injected. As you should know once blood levels stabilize (4-6 weeks) blood work needs to be done at 6 weeks to see how said protocol (dose T/injection frequency) effects TT/FT/e2/DHT levels let alone RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit among other health markers. Switching dose/injection frequency at 4 weeks is a bad move as he has not had blood work done yet to see where his hormones sit. Pointless to do such otherwise if he did take your advice than he will need to wait another 6 weeks on the new protocol (dose T/injection frequency) to truly know where his hormones end up at the trough. Following a CONSISTENT protocol is key otherwise you will never truly know how said dose of T effects blood markers. We can dish out all the advice we want as to why he feels bad but we are just guessing here without blood work. The OP needs to tough it out and stick to the prescribed protocol for 6 weeks. Unfortunately looks like he took your advice which will now skew his upcoming bloodwork in 2 weeks. [/QUOTE]
