I havent been able to dial in with injections. Ive tried both cyp and E, did subq EOD for longest time, then tried daily subq, daily IM, and last resort was 2x a wk IM which im currently almost 4 weeks into. Going to wait 6 weeks and pull labs but its not looking like this protocol is gonna help me feel better at all.
I have low SHBG ... 9.5-11.5, and chronically very low DHT....and no ive never taken finasteride.
My symptoms are anhedonia, anxiety and just generally feeling unwell. Ive had moments ive felt great randomly... like taking a week off injections. And also more recently, when I switched to 2x a week, one day about 4hrs after my injection I started to feel awesome...clean energy, motivation and happy feelings! ...gone the next day. Im just not sure whats going on with me. Ive trialed pregnenolone but not for longer than a week as it starts having side effects.. (are we supposed to stick it out like trt and let it balance out?) Once in a while pregnenolone makes me feel great.
One option ive considered is keeping my protocol the same but adding in small dose cream to raise DHT... im starting to wonder if low DHT may be why I dont feel good on injections.
If I decide to go all cream, how was the transition for you? Was it rough for a while? Did you take atleast a week off injections before starting? And how do you translate dosing from injections to cream? Thank you all for you help and support!
