[QUOTE="S1W, post: 191486, member: 16947"] No problem - that's what this forum is all about. I guess I like it overall - I've tried a lot of different things and this is what I seem to come back to/where I feel best. It is certainly more convenient than EOD and daily, so I guess in a way I'm happy those didn't work out for me lol. Since this thread was originally about low dose daily, I should note the following. Ironically, people talk about increasing injection frequency to lower E2 - it did the exact opposite for me. E2 went up as an absolute number, as a ratio to TT/FT, etc etc. It happened when I tried EOD and daily, and at various different doses for each (all lower in weekly total compared to E3.5D). My E2 on those protocols consistently STAYS at the level where it peaks on E3.5D (I've tested my peak numbers on this E3.5D protocol just out of curiousity). I guess the biggest downside is that I do believe the dose is a bit high overall, and I worry about carrying high levels of E2 24/7 and what long term effects, if any, there might be from that. I'd actually like to try increasing my dose a bit, but of course I suspect any E2 and HCT sides would just be even more pronounced. I've also experienced high HCT and slightly elevated BP on this protocol in the past. My dilemma in all of this is that in order to get any symptom relief from TRT, it seems like I need to run higher than normal levels. I often hear guys talking about how midrange is best, 500s/600s...that just wouldn't even be worth it for me (I've tried that). I used Accutane in the past and often wonder if that has something to do with it...like there is some built in extra hurdle hormonally because of whatever damage Accutane caused, and the higher levels are needed to overcome that threshold.
