@madman, @Cataceous, @readalot or anyone else smarter than me, can you point me in the right direction? I am currently trialing small doses of enanthate mixed with grapeseed oil. I am tracking how I feel over time and trying to correlate it to expected testosterone levels. I am interested in expected serum concentration levels over time after injection and/or Tmax levels (how long it takes to peak).
According to the Xyosted study, their Tmax was around 12 hours. However, I saw some other study comparing IM enanthate to cream that showed an enanthate Tmax at two days (sorry, I don't have the reference).
Outside of the Xyosted study, I can't find many good enanthate graphs that show what happens to concentrations over time. The steroidplotter is useful to know how much release is expected, but I am looking for actually expected serum levels over time.
For example, I felt very good after 40mg of enanthate for about 11 hours. Then, started to feel bad; next two days, mixture of OK and bad. I totally realize that it takes at least 5 half lives for steady state and even more time for the body to adjust. But, I still feel it would be useful to know if feeling bad correlates with levels that are too high? Levels that were high, but are dropping? I generally rely on Natesto, but am exploring more ideal options. One possible explanation for going downhill is that I my body is used to the ups and downs of Natesto. Maybe I experience a withdrawal when off it?
In any case, any input is appreciated.
