Really old thread, but I am intrigued by the every five day schedule. Larry P (may not be around here any more) mentioned in several threads he doses every five days as well. I am considering this. Does anyone else have an "unconventional" dosing schedule (conventional being defined as weekly, twice a week, daily, etc)?

Actually I’ve settled on every other day. You get the most bang for the buck from daily shots I find. But for now I’m doing EOD.

Whenever you change your protocol whether it's a dosage change or frequency change, your body must adapt to the new change and it will takes 6 weeks for testosterone and estrogen to stabilize in the bloodstream, until then your levels will be fluctuating wildly and you will feel good off and on.

I increased my dosage 2 weeks ago and all my levels were sent into chaos and now have 4 more weeks before levels become stable, until then it's bouts of minor anxiety, feeling unwell, and even blood pressure fluctuations. As I get closer to 6 weeks I will start to notice I'm feeling better often as my levels become more and more stable as I near the 6 week mark.

I have SHBG on the lower end and inject 24mg every 2 days, otherwise estrogen is very high.

You might have read this thread on T-Nation. @highpull posted labs from two patients with low shbg. You know his protocol is a weekly injection. Both patients had high total and free testosterone, in spite of low shbg. He doesn't give much importance to shbg.

From my understanding many other doctors (Dr. Saya/Gil T) with more clinical experience have a different take on low SHBG.
