[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 165156, member: 16042"] I have high SHBG and tried Q3D, QOD and QD. To me there seems to be value in running more level-to a point. With Q3D I was experiencing a 3 day cycle of bloat and moodiness, so first try at managing E2 was to go to QOD and lower total weekly amount of T cyp. It worked pretty darn well but I still had a small amount of E2 sides. Then I tried QD and also reduced weekly total accordingly . I am not sure why, but the QOD schedule was more comfortable. QD I had constant bloat. I may have just had to lower dose a bit more, but QOD gave me slight fluctuation in E2 sides rather than constant. I then tried lowering dose further, but hit what seems the bottom of effective free T. So added tiny amount anastrozole. I figure based on the curve referenced above that I have pretty darn small peaks/troughs, and run pretty level. TT is usually around 1000 (~900-1200), Free T direct around 20 (~18-23), Tru T 30, and E2 kept in high 20s (~25-35). Lower free T and I am feeling Low T symptoms, and feel better with E2 below 30. Doesn't mean this will work for you. N=1 [/QUOTE]
