Two and One-Half Years on Daily Injections: Stability Maintained

in isolation, no I don't think I have any detectable HCT symptoms that aren't perhaps associated with anything else like low iron/ferritin, among others.

Thank you. Me neither. I think maybe when i work out my skin get more red than usual. I also have no symptoms when my ferritin is low. What lvl you HCT is the upper limit in your doctor’s opinion?
 
For two and one-half years I've been injecting 16mg of testosterone enanthate on a daily basis along with 250 iu of HCG twice weekly. It's been an enormous success for me, success confirmed by labs drawn in December when I (a Canadian) visited family in the States for Christmas. I have clearly achieved and maintained a steady-state in regard to the most critical labs and feel marvelous (high libido, strong erectile function, and so forth). I post these as there is a growing interest in daily protocols here at EM - they can work. Yes, I realize some of my friends here have not seen this level of success; it is another example of "how we're all different" plays out in the TRT game. Nonetheless, I wanted steady-state, and I got it. I wanted to avoid an AI, and I have. My hematocrit and hemoglobin seem impervious to TRT...for reasons I can't explain, and my SHBG has risen to a respectable level. A daily protocol is worth considering.

Hello man,
Im new at this forum and came across a post of yours where you described your protocol.
Did you start daily injections because of previous failed protocols and low shbg? Because that is exactly my case, trt didnt work for me with different protocols.
I am actually trying around 15mg enanthate daily intramuscular, same as you right?
If it is the case that this was your first working protocol, how long did it take since starting it to feel the effects? I am 14 days into it right now.
Sorry to bother and thank you very much!

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.
