Sleeping issues with injections

This is my second attempt at trt. I’m currently on injection/cream protocol. My shbg is low so I was on 126mg cypionate per week initially which was too much for me. Now I’m down to 98 mg per week (daily shots) with one click cream to inner thigh to increase dht (since I’ve had low dht with injections with prior experience with injections). This f-g sucks. I am waking up at 3 am even with the lower dose. I tried taking a 0.125 anastrozole yesterday morning to see if that would help and it only made things worse. I guess I’m about to pull the plug again. I only felt positive effects the first month and then everything went to sh-t. I mean why am I not agreeing with these shots? I can’t be the only one having trouble sleeping on injections. This is so frustrating.
 
Have you tried injecting or applying different times of the day? Cream before bed kills my sleep. Likewise I can only inject daily propionate in the AM although prop is different animal than cypionate.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
