I have an SHBG that floats around 30 and still feel benefit from EOD injections. Maybe just in the head... who knows.
But I do know, with labs to support it, 100mg T a week, split to every other day injections will show higher TT levels than 100mg via one or two shots a week. I remember a Dr, maybe Dr. Crisler? saying he found 80mg total a week split to M/Thurs equal to about 100mg injected once. And noted an even greater effect on his patients when they injected more frequent.
Just my experiences... having played with everything from daily to once a week over the past few years. I currently do 24mg T EOD, 80iu HCG daily.

Why do you use HCG and T on the same day? Do u mix it also in the same syringe? Just wondering since I'm gonna introduce HCG in a few days und I am not sure yet on what day to inject the hcg. I inject every monday evening and friday morning - 3.5 days.Personally, I really like injecting every 3 1/2 days, for me it keeps all my levels nice and even. I also like injecting 500iu of HCG twice a week along with my T. I know for many it may not help, but it really spike's my libido.

Ok. Could there be a problem when keeping a few syringe up to 10 days in the fridge with testosterone and hcg mixed together? I'm putting them in the fridge since I break a testosterone ampulle every two weeks - then I split it to four syringe (every 3.5 days a injection). It is not the best way, but a way where I can keep T level on a stable level.I would have to pretty much agree with James. I originally started injecting with both in the same syringe. But since I increased my testosterone amount. I now need to use two syringes.
Since I'm spliting the ampulle to four syringes I like to keep them in the fridge because of sterility. I just have a better feeling. With lower temperatur things can be kept for a longer time of period and I want to be as safe as possible. I did my research on cypionate/enanthate @ fridge and I don't see a problem after reading many threads about it. I just need to get them to room temperature after taking them out but that's with 0.25 ml per syringe a matter of a 3-5 minutes. Just asking if it isn't a problem testosterone mixed with hcg and putting it in the fridge up to 10 days in a syringe.I wouldn't recommend refrigerating Cypionate. Keep it at room temperature. There's a lot of stuff online about that.
I've never preloaded a syringe, is it necessary for you to preload?Ok. Could there be a problem when keeping a few syringe up to 10 days in the fridge with testosterone and hcg mixed together?
