Would every day dosing smooth out protocol changes?

I've been wondering about this, especially when lowering the dose. Do you think it be easier to turn the ship around, so to speak, with every day injections when using a longer ester? I remember someone saying (writing) that a shorter ester could help with protocol changes. Sorry I can't remember who. It seems with dosing that frequently it would make it smoother either way.

This is more of a curiosity than anything, because it wouldn't be a good idea for someone injecting 2x a week to switch to ED just to make the transition smoother. I realize other factors would come into play. I inject ED and lowered my dose. I injected half of what I normally do for two days, then brought it to where I want it, and it went very well. I'm in between doctors, so this was on my own. I'm very sensitive to changes. Hope this all made sense.

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.
