That will be my next step, just need to make sure how my body reacts to different schedules. I tried 3xweek, now 2xweek, my goal is to do it once a week, so I can minimize the number of injections. I don't mind doing it, but I worry about the next 25 years. Will I still like it?
So once I complete 8 weeks on this protocol, and have my labs, I'll evaluate vs the previous 3xWeek and probably test drive 1xWeek. Again, 5-6 days complicates the schedule for me. Look at my avatar, I'm not too smart.
By the way, your pre-TRT levels were very similar to mine, I was at 492 ng/dL but I felt like crap, probably due to my low FT. If things works out well, I don't mind to be in the 500s with 1xWeek as long as my FT is in range.
I was reading a study recently in which they injected 50, 75, 100 mg T cypionate per week, once a week, subQ, and even though at day 7 TT had fallen to baseline levels, none of the participants had low T symptoms.
At a dose of 75 mg per week, Baseline was around 480s, 6 hours and 24 hours later, TT went up to 650-700, remain around 600 for the rest of the week and fell to 480 on day 7 prior to the injection.
In post hoc analysis, paired comparisons between time points indicated no significant difference among serum total testosterone levels measured 6 hours to 5 days after injection; there was, however, a significant decrease at 7 days, compared both with the initial postinjection measurement (656 6 244 ng/dL and 477 6 185 ng/dL, P = 0.012) and the 5-day measurement (621 6 321 ng/dL and 477 6 185 ng/dL, P = 0.023). Compared with baseline preinjection values, serum concentrations increased significantly at 6 hours after injection for both total testosterone (497 6 140 and 656 6 244, P = 0.02) and free testosterone 118 6 46 pg/mL and 151 6 69 pg/mL, P = 0.003). There was no significant difference in serum levels between the two samples drawn 7 days apart immediately prior to testosterone injections for both total testosterone (497 6 140 and 477 6 185 ng/dL, P = 0.58) and free testosterone (118 6 46 and 107 6 49 pg/mL, P =0.25).
The above supports your "every 5 or 6 days" protocol
That's encouraging. My doctor said that in order to keep HCT down, frequency needed to be increased. I'm glad to see a counter-example.
Good luck mate.
Thanks
