more than 2 times a week IM injections

[dallas101346]

Does anyone do this. I am currently injecting 2x a week IM. My dose is 50mg T with 250IU HCG, same syringe, in the delt. I still feel like this is too big of a hormone shift for me each time, my head feels like its in a bubble a lot of times and I am not sure what is causing it. It isnt really fatigue or brain fog, just "head in a bubble" type feelings. Any idea whether I should try 3x a week injections to maybe keep things more stable. I have lowerish SHBG(15).

Could it be possible that my E2 is just a bit too high?

What is your E2 level? In fact, what are your blood levels across the board on this protocol?

Not 100% sure yet, as I have just come back on this protocol. Last time I was on this protocol my T was around 700 E2(ultraS) at 22. Maybe I just need more time to adapt to the influx of hormones.

I do have steady nocturnal erections all night, and very consistent, if not annoying, morning wood.

At one point while I was injecting T, I was injecting 3 times a week. Shortly after starting 3 times a week (.15 M, .15 W, and .2 F) I started getting CONSISTENT morning wood and I was feeling somewhat better.

I hypothesized that if I could maintain my T levels more consistent, by minimizing the delta between highs and lows, my Estrogen levels would not fluctuate as much. I think I am very sensitive to Estrogen variations.

The best thing was that I needed no anastrozole.

That would probably work for me. I just worry about so many holes in the muscle. I have no issues injecting more, and trying to keep things stable. I too, think I must be pretty sensitive to E2 fluctuations. Even with 2 injections a week 50mg of T and 250IU will still cause a big E2 spike. But Id imagine 3 injections/ week will keep things more stable.

I have thought about subQ, but for some reason that converts at a higher rate to E2.

At a minimum, wait six weeks before making any changes to your protocol. If you have just resumed this particular one, be patient and allow your system to adjust to the levels it is experiencing. Do you have a good, open relationship with your doctor? If so, discuss this with him/her. But give it a chance - constant protocol changes create confusion across the board.

But your estradiol reading was solidly in the 20s, wasn't it? You don't want to knock it much lower.

True, then why do I constantly have a "head in a bubble" feeling... what can cause that...really the only side effect I have left.

 

[CoastWatcher]

How long have you maintained your protocol? No changes. Have you given it six weeks for your body to adjust to it?

 

[dallas101346]

No I'm on week 2. I'll stick it out. What does the body do to adapt?

Testosterone's effects build over time as the body adjusts to constant levels.

This is an excellent overview of how long one may wait to fully experience particular effects.

OK, thanks. Well maybe the head in a bubble feeling will fade over time. Ill give it another month. I still think that the constant fluctuations in E2 **** with me. Maybe subQ would be a better bet.
