Changing dosing schedule

[intime]

My doctor (for reasons that allude me) wanted me to try a bi weekly injection protocol instead of the weekly I had been doing.

I was using .5ml once a week. Last Sunday I switched to 1ml. It has now been 10 days and I don't like the trough and would like to return to my weekly schedule.

I was wondering what others thought would be the best option.

1) wait until the 14 days are up to return to my old dosing schedule

2) shoot .25ml now (10 days in) and then return to .5ml on my normal injection day

3) just shoot .5ml now and resume weekly dosing.

my only concerns with resuming too early are potential estradiol conversion, at the moment I do not have to take arimidex and I do not have any on hand.

Thanks so much!

Assuming that you are using testosterone cypionate or enanthate at 200 mg per ml, you can return to once a week injections as soon as you are due for the next shot. Most guys do not have ultrasensitive estradiol above 45 pg/mL even after 1-2 days of injecting 200 mg of testosterone. I would not worry too much but do get your E2 tested after a few weeks using the ultrasensitive assay.

Thanks Nelson! I'll bear out this trough and return to once weekly.

Your Doctor needs to learn about the half life of this drug...if he did know he'd never put you on bi-weekly!
