Hello. My doctor has prescribed a blend of 20 percent propionate and 80 percent cypionate. I have mid range shbg of 35. What is the most appropriate time to space out injections? He said every 3 days but I thought propionate needed to be inject every other day at least. Thank you.
How often to injection prop/cyp blend?

Do you know why your doctor specified the added proprionate?
The cypionate will provide a more stable longer lasting base as it is a longer lasting ester.
Proprionate has a shorter half life, hence more rapid uptake, peak and trough after dosing. Commonly on TRT, guys are using it daily to mimic diurnal hormone rhythm. Taken alone, not combined with cyp it is generally taken ED or EOD.
I don't why added prop in the formula would help if dosage was less frequent. But speculating here, I'd anticipate with E3D, you'll have two different bumps in blood T level on a three day repeat. Maybe the idea is that the prop kicks in first then cyp provides a secondary peak before next dosage over 3 day period, while the longer cyp half life carries your baseline/trough along at a high enough level.

I think half life of propionate is 2-3 days. Cypionate 6-7.
So would e3d work well for this? He says that most of his guys "like the feel" with the little bit of propionate.
Thanks I'm just confused since it's mixed with cyp. Do I dose it based on the propionate half life or the cypionate?

As stated in my post:
My comment is speculation, I don't know for sure.
Edit: I'd like to know if someone else does!

In explaining the protocol, and the choices he made, what explanation did he/she offer?
I’m a daily injector of enanthate, my doctor offers prop injections as well, but in talking it through we opted to stay where I have been (happily) for five years.
The blending of two...

He said that pretty much all of his guys like the feel of it because it gets into the system right away. I should have questioned it more.

Idk about him but I am using it. I have tried both cyp and prop alone before this. I feel fantastic on this blend. I inject every 3 days. I feel like I have stable levels, but a noticeable boost in libido/mood/aggression(in a good way, like in the gym). Much better than on the exact same amount of cyp, and I don't have to inject more frequently like I would with prop solo.
Edit: also I will say I am a little bit more acne prone on it. Nothing substantial though

I would start with the same dose and adjust after you've had some time to get a feel for it.
I just told them I wanted to switch and they approved it, didn't need a consult.
