Wanting to switch from weekly to twice weekly injections. Currently, I inject 100mg Cyp on Thursdays. Wanting to inject on Mondays and Thursdays. Would I start this upcoming Tuesday with my first 50mg injection, or should my first 50mg injection be next Thursday?

Would you rather spend a little time with levels too high or too low? That's the question. Personally, I would start with the 50 mg this coming Monday.
 
That makes sense. I've posted my first blood results here. Does that change anything?
No. Your T/E2 ratio is low though. If you're injecting subq, I would switch to IM. See what you can do to lose bodyfat and get the aromatization under control.

I would not take an AI just to reduce the E2 on paper. How you feel is far more important than the numbers, and all you've posted so far are numbers, making it more difficult to give advice.

Gotcha. Yeah, this is all new to me, so I'm just learning. I'm not sure if I'm having any symptoms. Maybe some anxiety, but nothing too bad. I do need to lose about 40 pounds and am working on that. Just wanted to make sure there's nothing to worry about.

If you inject Monday morning, you inject Thursday evening or 3.5 days apart.

Just curious: what type of issues would starting on Tuesday cause?
Not after one injection, it would take multiple injections to see changes in hormonal values. That's because the half-life builds up over time, 42 days for 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.
