Thanks for this, insightful as always!
I, too, agree with your synthesis; having been on daily TP for over a year, I find the daily variation excessive. It's bearable, but far from optimal. Are you no longer on the GnRH protocol? Is it correct to understand that you are currently on daily 3.2 TE/2.4 TP? In your view, how does this compare to your previous protocol in this thread (Daily 3 TP / E3D 12.5 TE)?
Curious, how does one generally interpret TE dosing? For instance, in the case of daily 3.2 TE, is it correct to multiply this by 3 to estimate daily level (to account for when TE levels stabilise in c.3 weeks)? If this assumption is correct, your current dosing would translate to 12mg each day. Taking account of the ester, this reduces to 1.992 TP + 6.912 TE = 8.904mg total testosterone per day. Is this thinking correct?
I accept your reasoning for this protocol, that is, to achieve a more normal daily variation, so I am keen to try it! For how long have you been using this method? Have you experienced any issues? Given the long half life of the TE ester, is it necessary to dose daily? Just to add, my SHBG was measured at 22 about two years ago. I've been meaning to get this measured again, but will probably do that after baselining on a new protocol..
Apologies for the string of questions; I don't get the opportunity to change my protocol often. Grateful for the clarity.
