Avoid an ai? Like [USER=45847]@literally.me[/USER], I've read of a few men finding a small dose of an ai improves their sleep. I ponder that, as I've dealt with long term poor sleep and addicted to clonazepam for 16 years. My E2 on T is the the 30's to 40's(sensitive test).
Regarding steady state versus fluctuations, again based on reading, some men(a minority, IMO) either do better with a weekly small dose(under 100 mg) or inject a larger dose every 10 days or every 2 weeks. Topical is supposed to mimic fluctuation. The only protocol I've tried that actually produced relatively consistent, though limited results, was 100 mg IM, E5D. Got one strong erection around 10 p.m. No nocturnal erections, no morning wood, no daytime erections, though my libido was always present.
