Preferably 6 weeks.

I agree it takes 42 days to normalize.

Serum levels will be in transition for six weeks, as madman and Vince pointed out. Any change resets the clock and you're back to a six week shakedown cruise.

What if you switch to an EOD protocol on the same dosage, won't your levels reach a steady state sooner? This time my shakedown cruise is a bit milder and am assuming it's because my levels were already pretty stable on Twice weekly.

I know when I went from twice weekly to a daily injection schedule, same dose, it was an interesting ride. My doctor and Dr. Saya both pointed out that everything is in transition, not simply the total testosterone marker, and the half-life/frequency changes are not necessarily impacting things in unison. Bottom line - draw no conclusions until that six week mark.
