[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 250337, member: 38109"] [I]Average[/I] levels stay the same at the same dose, but the levels over time look quite different. With once-weekly injections you can have peak testosterone a day or so after injection be two to three times the trough level prior to the next injection. So, for example, you might have total testosterone rising to 1,000 ng/dL and then falling to 400 ng/dL during each week. Going from too high to too low is not very physiological, and can lead to problems for some. Injecting twice-weekly is a considerable improvement. Then you have peaks that may be ~50-60% over troughs. With this pattern it's easier to maintain physiological levels throughout the cycle. For most guys, an injection frequency of between every-other-day and daily results in very little variation in serum testosterone. This is good for stability, but it's also not entirely natural. In healthy young men there is a pronounced diurnal rhythm in serum testosterone, with levels rising overnight to an early morning peak, and then falling through the day until evening. Some of us try to emulate this with daily injections of a blend of testosterone propionate and a longer ester such as cypionate. If you have been measuring your testosterone just prior to injections then when you switch to twice-weekly injections you should see an increase, as peaks and troughs are muted relative to weekly injections.
