So is there a risk that this protocol change won’t work? Say I give it 8 weeks and still feel terrible. What would be my next move? It would be lab dependent im guessing?
You can ignore those studies and find out for yourself. You need to work with a doctor that knows what their doing, you basically your own lab rat. I bet a knowledgeable doctor would know exactly what to do. A few doctor’s come to mind.
Which doctors come to mind?
Dr Rob Kominiarek, now this guy is crazy smart. Defy medical’s Dr. Saya, Dr Crisler stays up at night thinking about SHBG and estrogen.
Yeah I’m definetly looking for a second opinion. Thing is I just changed injection frequency and this new consult will want labs. Unsure what good labs will be 2 weeks into a change.
I should have consulted with someone else before the change. That’s my mystake.
So my question is : should I consult someone now even though I just changed or wait a few more weeks?
Update:
2 weeks into 50mg eod SC Test cyp with 500 iu hcg in the same day protocol change and feeling much better. Libido came back a few days ago, erection strength is good, crushed it in the gym today strength wise.
I know 2 weeks is not long enough to judge the change nevertheless the positive response is encouraging. Fingers crossed.

Update?
HI’m 26 days into 50mg cyp SQ eod. Feeling strong as ever gym wise though my increase in carb intake has likely assisted this. I’m hitting new personal records in the gym.
I’ve gained a few lbs but it looks good on me.
Libido is 6.5 -7/10 but fairly constant. Erections actually pretty good with manual. I’ve only had sex 3 times in this period. 2 were great, one erection was great but lost it likely due to performance anxiety.
I haven’t pulled labs but will do so in the next few weeks maybe. Overall I feel pretty good however I do have some psychological issues to deal with Around sexual experiences since it hasn’t worked good consistently for so long I’ve got some performance anxiety issues to work out. Thanks for checking up.
Overall I’m very pleased with this 50mg cyp /500iu hcg eod protocol and plan to continue it.
sorry to highjack but if i have shbg of 59-78 do i need less injections?
Seems like those with high shbg do better with less frequent injections and those with low do better with more frequent.
Tons of threads exist in this forum on this topic so I’d do a search or start a new thread putting in your stats, protocol, labs ect and ask for advice.
Libido is interesting. I think I want sex instinctively. Not sure I really want to.
Is wanting to masterbate part of libido?
And when I get physically stimulated of course I want the have sex.
How do you Define it?
Libido is the desire for sex. Yeah sometimes this is hard to figure out because I feel I do things out of habit.
Right now physically I feel good but have noticed a slight decrease in erection strength with masterbation. Unsure if I’d even attempt sex due to a lack of confidence in my erection. It’s been 30 days since change so thinking I’ll go pull some labs. I have been wanting sex or to look at porn and jerk it a lot lately though so think that’s libido or am I Just testing it out out of paranoia?
Why don’t you lay off masturbation and looking at porn for a few weeks. There is a direct tie in to dopamine and porn etc. it’s actually one of the first things I suggest when guys come in with ED. ED is almost always psychological without some other disease state (extremely low t or diabetes)

I am used to jerking off everyday and sex on weekends. But I shall start by masterbating without porn. Then maybe less masterbating. But if am able to perform with wife, I like to cum … Dont we all
6 weeks into current protocol of 50 mg test cyp sub Q EOD with 500iu hcg sub Q on same day. Additionally I’ve taken 500-1000mg tyrosine daily, 200mcg selenium /1 drop lugols daily over the last 2 months along with an extra 100gm carbs daily to around 250 gm total. Overall I feel great. Libido 7/10 stable. Erection strength 8/10 over the last 2 weeks on cialis 7mg EOD. Emotionally stable, minimal to no anxiety, strong AF in gym, still running 8ish% BF with maybe 15% extra cardio. No labs but going by feel and right now I’m digging the stability.
