Will I benefit more if I switch to EOD

A 25mg EOD protocol would put me well over 900 ng/dL and I'm a low SHBG guy (16-18). If I drop the dosage down to 20mg EOD, levels drop by half. It's definitely not linear.
wow! 5mg drops your levels by half? that's crazy. maybe that's why at at 30 mg i'm feeling pretty amped up. I tend to feel better in the middle of the road. I'm only on my 3rd shot but i definitely feel it. maybe i should back it down to 25mg.

Over the course of 8 days it's 20mg reduction, 5 per injection.

Ah, i see what you mean now. I'm just wondering at this point if 30 mg EOD is on the higher side. I feel pretty amped up and i'm only on my third shot. Is this normal or should i go down to 25mg?
My numbers were pretty good on 50 mg every 3.5 days but now I'm second guessing myself if I made the right move to EOD. I know it's way to early to assume that and just looking for some reassurance.

Your levels are going to be swinging for the next 6 weeks, any feeling in this time can't be used to judge the new protocol. It may take longer than 6 weeks to see all the changes.

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.
