But ya with a SHBG that low you definitely need to go EOD or ED injections. You can do E3.5 days but it's not going to be optimal for you. So why not just try and optimal protocol from the start to save time. ED would be ideal with your SHBG, but if that's too many injections, definitely go EOD.


Also, I would wait to start the AI. If you took it along with your first injection, that could absolutely be the reason why you feel more tired. I personally would drop it completely during this first run and see where your E2 falls after your first blood work. Your E2 was surprisingly higher than I thought it would be considering your low total T. So there's a chance it could elevate quite a bit on this protocol, but I would see how you feel without it first. If you are going to use it, I would at least wait a couple weeks before implementing it. Also I think you might of had the regular E2 test done. The sensitive E2 test is what you want. The regular E2 test usually always come back higher than the sensitive, so if this was the regular test, then ur sensitive E2 is most likely lower than 24.


So definitely up the frequency of injections. If not, what's going to happen is you're going to get your testosterone at trough checked and it's gonna come back lower than you'd probably like because you're excreting it too quickly. And you're going to think a dose increase is needed which will elevate everything else like E2 and possibly prolactin. Which is gonna require you to use more AI. When in reality all you need to do is increase the frequency, and even with the same dosage your testosterone levels might come back just where you want them. And this way you might not even need an AI. And if you can avoid using an AI, trust me, it's 100% the way to go
