Thought I'd try the micro daily dose of TestCyp (~30mg) and HCG (100IU) instead of my usual 200mg split dose and 250IU EOD. Only a few days in, but I feel so off mentally and emotionally (like NOTHING I've ever felt). Trying to decide if my body just doesn't like ED/Subq for some reason and likes split or EOD shallow IM or do I just need to give it more time...but TBH don't know much longer I can ride it b/c it's affecting job performance and parenting.
Would not even consider ~30 mg TC injected daily a micro-dose!
200 mg/week of T let alone split is overkill for most.
Most men can easily achieve a healthy let alone high trough FT injecting 100-150 mgT especially when split into more frequent injections.
Yes there are some outliers who may need the high-end dose but it is far from common as in RARE!
Throwing in the hCG to boot would drive up FT further.
What trough FT level were you hitting on such?
Even then 2 days means jack shit as it will take 4-6 weeks for blood levels to stabilize on your new protocol.
Hormones will be in flux during the weeks leading up until blood levels have stabilized (4-6 weeks TC/TE) and it is common for one to experience ups/downs along the way as the body is trying to adjust.
This is expected whether one is first starting testosterone therapy or tweaking a protocol (dose T/injection frequency).
More importantly once blood levels have stabilized it will still take time (a few more months) for the body to adapt to it's new set-point and this is the critical time period when one needs to gauge how they truly feel overall regarding relief/improvement of low-T symptoms and overall well-being.
The first 6 weeks means nothing when looking at the bigger picture here.
Every protocol needs to be given a fighting chance (12 weeks) before claiming whether it was truly a success or failure!
You need to bite the bullet and put in the time if you want to see where this truly ends up otherwise you are better off bailing out now or if anything if you have doubts about injecting subcutaneously vs IM then go back to IM although for some it may get stale quick poking yourself daily but this can be easily remedied for most by using an LDS insulin syringe 27-29G 1/2" needle length and injecting shallow IM!
