Message: <blockquote data-quote="Belekas" data-source="post: 245841" data-attributes="member: 44155">After 3 months 100mg/week and blood test results I've got couple weeks ago I've decided to try completely different approach to what I have been planning and wen't to EOD protocol of 25mg (0.1ml) of Test-E for a change. Not that I'm looking to feel any changes from the esther type but just had some left that expire this year and decided to put it to use. See how I respond to more frequent injections but slightly lower dose of 87.5mg/week.Conclusions for the last 3 months I've been on since starting treatment are like this. In all fairness haven't noticed much if any benefits at all. Fatigue is still here. Muscle recovery same as before. Some headaches here and there but nothing too much. One thing I've noticed, I think, I got calmer and more focused on my own grind which is really a good thing. The problem with all this is that these results are not optimal because I haven't been able to eat as much as I need to function the best and train the best, because of my Hpylori bacteria. So the lack of food really effects my mood, recovery and overall feeling, even though I manage to eat around 3000kcal if I'm eyeballing correctly, as I have quit tracking calories after many years. Also since my digestion has been compromised hard probably that contributed to my overall wellness and how I feel day-in day-out. Coupled that with my serious back probems and it becomes really hard to tell whats what. Living with pain wears you out and then its tough to notice small benefits if any at all. Also I haven't been working out since the last 3 weeks I had serious back reconstruction. Now only resistance bands plus foam roller work for the month and light gym work with baby weights. Today started treating Hpylori for the second time so antibiotics and some other meds are on. It's a long road to recovery and rehabilitation but nobody will do the work for me. Gotta do what you gotta do. The best is yet to come.Now since my blood results came back being top of the range tested at through but my HC is still in good place I think I could try going a bit higher with my dose to see how I feel. Ofc I'll be peaking above range FWIW. And since its only been 3-4 months since the start HC will still be climbing higher for another 8-9 months according to some papers I've read. So decided to try EOD protocol using a bit lower dose and see if that gives any benefits. If not the next step and probably final will be a bump in dose towards 125-150mg and if that doesn't help with fatigue and overall energy and sides rise I'll be getting off and will stay off for years and just get as healthy as possible naturally and maybe look at TRT again in the next 10-20 years when we will have more data and research in this field. I was skeptical before starting as I was feeling better and better with more weight I've been putting on after living too lean for too long naturally so my skepticism still stands and probably the increase in my FT won't give me any benefits without giving me sides. My TT was around 17.2 and cFT 0.225 (0.2-0.6) (NHS lab range) because of my high SHBG (IIRC) but I was feeling good, with a good libido, good sleep and good overall wellness. So even with crashed cFT I was functioning better then with a high-end cFT that I rock now. Really interesting things and looking forward to the next chapter and see how this new protocol goes.
